The mayors of Louisville and Lexington met today at the Kentucky History Center, in Frankfort, ostensibly to discuss economic development issues with other business and government officials. But we are in the midst of “March Madness,” so the conversations naturally devolved into NCAA Final Four trash talk.

Head Coach Charlie Strong took his Cardinals to a Big East Championship last year, a 2nd straight bowl game and gave them a win against arch-rival Kentucky. The team finished the season with 7-6 record.
