Talk me off the ledge

I grew up in Lexington and went to UK. When I left Lexington, continuing to keep up with UK basketball and football religiously was a way to stay connected to my hometown. (At least I still have bourbon collecting)

These last few years for both basketball and football have been pretty much exclusively bad. I get little joy out of watching games anymore. At least back home I would be surrounded with friends to share in the memories both good and bad.

Now? Now I sit on my couch alone and watch a game like yesterday. That was a Vandy 40-0 level performance. Absolutely all systems failure.

I am excited for Pope and UK bball but Stoops is looking a lot like lame duck Cal right about now.

I am getting to a point of apathy. What silver linings are there to continue to watch and follow this football team?

Delphi, IN Murders

Has anyone else been following this case? Two girls, 13 & 14, were dropped off for a few hours at a nature trail last month. One later took a picture of the other on an old railway bridge over a creek and posted it on Instagram. A few hours later, they didn't return and were found murdered along the creek a half mile up from the bridge. One of the girls took a photo of a man walking on the bridge towards them and later recorded a man's voice saying "down the hill" before they were killed. $200,000+ reward so far.

Revisiting an Older Thread About an Cutting Edge Experiment

Let's revisit the British experiment to generate genetically modified mosquitoes
The intent is to reduce certain tropical diseases while patenting their new chimeric products


Here are some links to refresh the source material and basic details of the program:

BBC Genetic Mosquitoes -Florida (2020)

Science Daily - Modified Mosquitoes Take Flight (2021)

Smithsonian - Concerns Raised (2022)

Quick summary & then i will return to edit this down - promise

One reasonable concern expressed was "what happens if the the mutant males DO NOT manage to kill the females" ?

And there are very specific ways that could - and to some degree WILL happen -

Does that create the unfortunate consequence of a new offspring thats - carrying new genetic markers and possibly MORE dangerous?



Good question

Or -- what if back to back to back hurricanes - disrupt or scatter the test subjects all over a depleted and damaged state that finds itself struggling with basic necessities?

It's only intended to be objective inquiry - not fear porn....plus I've been following this study for years now and thought it may be interesting to others

I will try to return later and show you what was changed in their genetic makeup - it is a TRIP

BBN Football Fans Deserves Better!!!

I was at the game last Saturday night and at the game against South Carolina as well. Our crowd was awesome. BBN sold out the stadium and it was rocking. It’s just a damn shame our football team comes in and plays like 💩 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩.

I feel sorry for the families who spend all that money on tickets and travel hundreds of miles away to see us play like garbage. We are 2-12 against SEC teams at home and currently on a 6 game losing streak.🤬. How much can BBN take???? Hell Joker had a better winning percentage than that.

Mitch Barnhart or Stoops needs to do a FORMAL apologies to our fan base.

We can do better.

Stoops has become Rich Brooks 2.0. Happy to make a bowl game. Give some ranked teams a fit, but lose games to teams that he shouldn’t. He no longer holds an edge over South Carolina or Vanderbilt. He’s started trusting his gut so much that instead of actually managing the clock at the end of the half he’d rather go grab a quick snack and kneel it out. We were supposed to go 3-0 after Ole Miss. Now we’re going to be told how mistakes costs us the game meanwhile people who actually analyze the game asked in the first half if Stoops or White even watched any Vandy tape. UK can do better than this coach now.

Time to pony up boys and girls. We’re going to need that war chest full so that we look good for the new OC in December.
