I live here in Coastal Carolina; when you drive into the state of S/Carolina you drive through a beautiful, picturesque fishing community that could hardly stay alive economically. Several years ago off-shore gaming was forced upon the state and the community. Today, or tommorow if you stop and talk to the residents they will tell you that if it was not for this revenue and employment the community would have nothing. The community, the state, the county, no one still wants this boat off-shore, but at least they are honest enough to tell you without them they would not be there. I could go on, but hopefully you get the gest. When people come to Huntington to play the university in athletics they want things to do. Do you honestly believe people from Memphis,
Houston, Miss., Fla. will be satisfied eating ice cream and watching the barge go up or down the river.

Twenty years ago people in Alabama said they would kick KY out of the
SEC if it were not for their Horse racing and Basketball.

When people come into Huntington for games now they are staying at Charleston/Crosslanes area. I know, because when I come in for games I run into gobs of these people wearing their colors at Greyhound Raceway Park.

Breath deep and smell the roses.

Best wishes to all for a great holiday season!
