"STL to LEX" just doesn't make as good a rap song, na mean?
Irrespective of actual distances, one has to account for the 250 miles of flat nothingness between Louisville and Saint Louis. (Excepting a little area of hills near Santa Claus, IN). Mount Vernon, IL is the high point, insofar as they've got a small mall and an Arby's. The interstate misses Evansville. No Amtrak. I'm going to a conference in Lexington in April and I'm actually flying thru CVG. I can't face driving across Illinois again. Mississippi is a pretty state by comparison.
I guess what I'm saying is, I'd rather drive from Lexington through Appalachia, which is gorgeous, to Atlanta, than waste my last eight brain cells on keeping the vehicle between the lines in Illinois.
I don't know what Wildcats fans would like to do. Who are we? The Wildcats. Who are we gonna beat?
I'm sure the committee considers none of this. But I-64 in Illinois. Do y'all understand that? It's like I-16 between Macon and Savannah if you mowed down the ugly loblolly pines.

A movie is not about what it's about; it's about how it's about it.
