D-League

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and foggy. Expecting mid-70s later on after a brief rainfall event.

Game Day. 12:30 pm CST at Rupp on CBS.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Good morning D-League from the sunny Gulf coast.

Currently 69° with a high today of 81°. This may be the last of the 80 degree weather for a few days because a cold front is coming through that will lower temperatures into the mid 70's. The pool temperature is 85° and I am going to crank it up to 88.

Game day is here and another big game is in store. LSU losing to Florida helped us so if we take care of business we can move forward and make a run at the regular season title. We still have a shot.

I picked the last of my ruby red grapefruits yesterday and had a juicy one for breakfast. This 80° weather has brought out the blossoms and honey bees. This is good

Go Cats, let's do it. I would like to see some upsets today, especially teams ahead of us in the rankings. Have a great day.

Morning D,

Haven"t been around of late...doing partial basement finish for homeowner. 28 board drywall, some framing/mud/tape/prime, etc. Kitchen install this Wed.

Can't wait for Auburn today. Old bones need a time out. Gonna chill and sip, maybe even nap! Take care all.

Third molar is another name for wisdom tooth.

When I was in the Army going through basic training I had my lower wisdom tooth pulled and ended up with an abscess so severe I could not shave on that side of the face. The pain was so intense when I touched it my eyes would water. So I did not shave an area about the size of a half dollar and when I fell out for early morning inspection a 2nd Lt asked me why I didn't shave that part of my face. I tried to explain I had a tooth pulled and the pain was too intense, He would have no part of that excuse and said he didn't care of a jungle bunny in Vietnam blew half of my face off. YOU WILL SHAVE trainee. I got 25 demerits and had to run 5 miles with my M14 extended over my head. Oh and we ran in combat boots in those days. Those were the only demerits I got in the Army.

I swore if I saw him in civilian life I would kick his butt all the way to the Georgia line. But I have no idea what happened to him.

Like most, probably have 20 or so mostly for work or anywhere but Church, ha.

Not too creative for a sig though.

Kelly Knight Craft has been chosen as United Nations Ambassador. She was born in Lexington and graduated from UK. We all know what she and her family have done for the University. Thanks to them we have among the best athletic facilities in collegiate sports. Congrats Mrs. Craft.

You should have pointed out to him that one day it would be politically incorrect to refer to one's adversary as a "Jungle Bunny." I'm sure he would have seen the error of his ways and rewarded you accordingly.

Good morning!

3.5 hours til basketballlll acctionnn! Looking for Sophomore Nick Richards to show out today. I'm going to go ahead and look at Travis' knee tweak as a blessing in disguise. Easier to take that way. Extended minutes for Richards and EJ will pay dividends down the road.

I hope PJ doesn't think his new job is to try and be an enforcer and initiate contact. His job is just to hold his position and to tolerate and score through contact.

We're going to make 10 3's today.

Cats by 12 82-70

I'm like you. I am trying to put a positive spin on it. I think that Cal will have to play a smaller lineup today with Travis out, and it will be crucial to guarding the 3 pt line against Auburn. Wiley being back isn't a huge game changer since they shoot so many 3's and anyone who saw them play Arkansas knows we must guard the perimeter. Cats by 5-7.

LOL. You know the other day a WWII veteran pointed out to me America has not won a war since we defeated Germany and Japan. He said it was because our Army is political correct. He may have a point.

I entered the army in 1966 and I can't tell you what I was called by my Sgt and Commanding Officers. If I used those words St. Peter might stop me at the Pearly Gates.

I didn't enter basic training until 1971 and it had calmed down a little, but trainee was the best thing I was ever called.

Thanks for the tip didn't know it was on, ended up watching it!

Any time you know Star-Trek is on let me know! Also my wife will walk in and look at me when I am watching, just shake her head , roll her eyes and say ghee you have never seen that one before and walk away saying I just don't understand!!!! Same thing with the 5TH Element!!!!

Good morning D, raining again, looks like bad weather is heading in today so all those down around the line stay alert!!!! S-I-L is a tug captain pushing a tug from Louisiana, he told me it's going to be a hard trip back!!!! I think they change the game plan (Auburn and sweaty pearl) somewhat today at first, going inside to get the bigs in trouble then start jacking up more threes! Just hope we defend the threes really close today and hit ours!!!! Also hope Nick and EJ have good games!!!! Go CATS!!!!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Watching SEC program on the Gators consecutive BB championships. Three Gators were projected to be first round picks and one was to be the #1 pick. Yet they all came back to win 2 straight. My i wish our teams had that attitude. Money did not make those players happy, winning a championship with their best friends and team mates mattered most of all.

But that was yesterday and yesterday is gone.

We do have a problem in the Army today and it started many years ago and has gotten worse in recent years. When we set different standards for women in the physical fitness test after allowing women in the Army it started a chain reaction that continues to grow. The fitness test is used to determine if you can physically be a soldier or not. If you administer a test for you to qualify at anything, all must meet the standard. If you pass, come on in. If not, try something else. It was lowered because some were complaining that it was too tough for women but, it was only lowered for them.

Now, there are constraints on what you can do to all soldiers (on the spot corrections) that have taken a lot of disciplinary power away from leadership. Such as, dropping a soldier (Pushups) for a minor infraction. Now, just about everything is either put on paper (which impacts careers) or just let go all together which loosens discipline.

Not indifferent from civilian life, the Army is in full PC mode curtailing any and all speech that could be determined offensive. Which means, anyone could find anything offensive if misreading the intent. This takes away from the camaraderie which is very important among the military. Having to watch what you say at every turn puts too much strain on relationships.

It's been pouring rain here all morning and now, the total rain for the last 8 days now is 11.12" inches. That's more rain in one week than we usually get in three months in an average year; Please God, make it stop!!

Some folks are "liking" my comments about getting over 11 inches of rain?

I would like to announce that I am officially 58.75 years old today!

Looking up the info on the Ford truck last night and went down the rabbit hole of car chase scenes on Youtube. If you've seen this one, which isn't actually a chase, then give it a listen. Turn the sound up because that's the best part. It was made in 1976 and Paris looked a lot different than it does now. Not one hijab to be seen and no trash.

Well said, warrior-cat. When I was a DI we had several restrictions. One never hit a trainee. And two never order them to do something you could not do. So if I ordered a trainee to drop down and give me 50 I better be able to give 50. Or else.

We had a "bolo squad" which consisted of trainees who had flunked (boloed) at the rifle range or PT test. If you were a "bolo" you would be in danger of being re-cycled and removed from the company. Everyone did not get a trophy if they failed they got humiliated. "BOLO" was painted across their helmet liner and a piece of white tape was put on their back with BOLO written on it. Nothing was more humiliating than that. I have no idea if they do that in today's army.

I'm neutral on this one, but I predicted LSU wins 79-73
