I can't wait to look in the mirror, cause I get better looking each day.Well, definitely the most humble. Of course as the old song said, it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way.

I think Bert is smarter than a bag of rocks - and certainly not what his political opponents said about him.
That is when we sons have to step in, when common sense is lost.
Well, you've met my cousin. His exact words when we met up in Lou a few years ago was, "I just talk shit about UK to aggravate you". We go back over 40 years on this. When UK won the title back in '96, I called him and his dad from here in Texas, after calling my ex to tell her those rednecks won, was to find out their thoughts. Cats are CATS. Anyway, I'll shut up.
Too big to be an elf so, if you have pointy ears, that would make you either Romulan (liberal) or Vulcan (conservative).
Denny Crum was the reason this "rivalry" got as heated as it is. When he came in from California he started bad mouthed everything UK, including our recruits coming in. That was his plan from the start.
That's my recollection as well. My Papa started taking me to lots of ul games in the early 50s when I was still a peep. First in the Armory then Freedom Hall as I grew into a cockerel. The intense UK association came with Billy Ray Lickert, Cotton Nash & Notre Dame.
Bert, you and I remember the same scenario. Even in the 90's I remember them giving tickets away, at Kroger, to try to get some fans in the stands. Crum went after the kids from the ghettos, like Camden, NJ and brainwashed them into thinking that Joe B and UK in general, were racists and their fans believed it too. You didn't hear any of that nonsense till he arrived. At the height of the Denny era, UL players would rather let their man get past them and make a spectacular block, than to play good defense. I just had a real problem with the whole thing. I can't believe that Joe B went on to become friends with Denny. I guess that is the epitome of a Christian attitude.
Hey ... that's the same feller who dropped off a truck and 3 cars at my place without explanation a few days ago.
Is that Captain Burt Young on the banjo?
That is Bert trying to be Santa. They had an open bar!
catfaninsc knows the truth!
you bet!Well, definitely the most humble. Of course as the old song said, it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way.
Speaking of rocks. If you need a last minute gift, why not a Pet Rock.

A pet rock is the only pet you will own that you never have to feed, walk, bath, groom or neuter. It comes trained to "stay" and "sit" and will never run away. It will outlive you.
It was a Kentucky quarter!My latest find at the car wash this morning as a homeless bum slept in one of the bays. Surprised he missed this.

A small bag though, right?
The same nurse was in there this morning, she said "I remember you". I thought to myself that she probably did. She's the person they said was in charge when I had the problem last time and asked for the person in charge. That RN on her name tag told me she was in charge of a few people on that floor. I escalated my complaint to the people who are charge of the hospital. He told me today that they are treating him like a king. I just smiled.
You talking about the dude I met?
I'm not going to give away my allegiance, but, live long and prosper!
That and paying players. He learned that trick from his mentor.
I am making a proclamation: Henceforth, from now, whenever we write UK in the D league we shall use the blue text. Not sissy blue either. Font is optional.
I thought you had to buy a loaf of bread to get the free tickets. Same with football.
I wasn't "friends" with Denny. But we used to frequent the same gas station/beer depot back in the day and became acquaintances. We had good natured banter back and forth about UK and ul.
I watched that longer than I should have.
Dad called me early and told me not to bring ribs because he was full from breakfast. He said hospital food wasn't too bad when you're not on a diabetic diet. I bet so.
I hung out with him for almost 5 hours this morning and into the afternoon. Got to talk with the doctor, which is always nice. They're going to keep him for two more days, which just so happens to be how long his insurance pays for observation. What a coincidence, huh? He said he was fine staying there for 2 more days because it was nicer than the nursing home.
He's got a cold along with his COPD and it's hard for old dude to breathe. I asked and they said they had him on some steroids. He needs those everyday and I'm going to insist he gets them. He told me that the nursing home doesn't give him his breathing treatments everyday. I'll fix that after Christmas when I no longer feel like being nice.
Good for you. I'm all for being nice, until they force you to not be nice.

Greetings!!Christmastime on 4th street in Louisville (60's) was a treat for a young boy from the sticks. We'd take our tobacco housing money and blow it at Rhodes (first bass weejuns) , Dutchman and have a ball cruisin. First movie (Sound of music) and first Mc D big mac/fries. Freedom Hall for UK/Notre Dame games around that time.
