Oldest daughter enrolled at UK…following in her dad’s (and mom’s) footsteps. The runner up was UT, which I visited with her and really came away impressed. Before enrolling, I encouraged her to take one more night to sleep on it. “Honestly, I just can’t spend four years wearing that god awful color”.
Proud dad.
-toured the campus with her a couple Fridays ago and man; what a difference from 2003. Driving through the outskirts doesn’t really show you all the work they’ve done. It’s impressive. The dorms are ridiculous. Better than the cinder block walls of Haggin Hall.
We’ve saved a nice chunk, but still gonna have a long way to go. College is stupid. A 31 ACT and a 4.8 GPA doesn’t even get us that much assistance. UK is $tingy with in-state kids.
-picked up $14 tickets to the Lipscomb game. Moved to the front row of upper, close to mid-court. Watched the entire game with a coke and a smile. Pretty relaxed and not stressed at all.
-Pope is really doing and saying all the right things. A Mormon with a Buddhist zen vibe.
26-5 this year. SEC finals. Elite 8. And it’s only up from here.
-DraftKings bets make watching early season hoops much more tolerable. I’ve never been one to tune in to the “random power 5 school vs Midwest directional state” games, but with a few bucks on a parlay bet, makes it bearable.

-Threads is the worst social platform, right? Yes, it is.
