that's awesome! i was born in lex, raised in louisville, and i've been here in ftl for 6+ years now!
being a kentucky/heat fan might be the best fan combo. i love that jaime was the leading scorer in the ucla kentucky game his senior year. so many connections!
i actually looked for an alumni club when i moved here but it didn't seem active. i was living in san fran in 2011-2012 and the alumni club there was so deeply entrenched they'd basically taken over a bar. they'd gone for every game (mbb, fb, and the televised wbb games) since the 90s.
11-12 season started with the core group for all the non conference games. the more they won, the bigger the crowds got. the night we won the title, 250 were packed into this tiny dive bar, 99% kentucky fans, standing room only shoulder to shoulder. insanity. whole bar broke out in "my old ky home"
I was at Bokamper’s with the alumni club when we finally beat Florida in football. That place is huge and it was packed, there was only like 12 of us but they played My Old Kentucky Home after we won. We were going ape shit 😝 🥲

We used to have a South Florida alumni club and we watched games at Bokamper’s in fort Laudy
