Hope all is well in the D-League. I had one of those mornings.

I walked outside into the bitter wind to note that my garbage cans had been blown over and debris was spread across a couple lawns and down the hillside behind my house -- it must have covered damn near an acre.

After i got that picked up I hustled to the train station so I wouldn't be late for work. As I was leaving my car in the parking lot I grabbed my keys to lock the door -- and realized I had two sets. Somehow my wife's keys had gotten tangled up with mine and I grabbed both. No doubt even as I realized this, she was searching fruitlessly for hers as she fell behind efforts to get to the job on time. So I drive back and sneakily drop off her keys where she'll find them but I won't have to take the rap.

I get back to the subway platform and find out the one I missed was the last for 30 minutes -- breakdown along the line. So I stand on an elevated platform and let the wind knife through my clothes for a half hour. I hope I've used up all my bad luck for the day. But I'm not counting on it.
 
What iz up everyone!
Think I have finally turned the corner...bout expletive time!
I think ymmot is right, UK will cover tonight. My prediction was UK by 16 though...
Late game tonight kinda sucks, assuming it'll be official by the under 12 TO in the 2nd half tho. Should still get to bed at a decent time.
When IU loses tonight they will have only won 1 game in Jan & 1 in Feb. UK is just the opposite...only 1 loss in each month.
Pig sooie my butt.
 
Dad was down is his back today and didn't feel like getting out. I called and cancelled his shot.

In other news, while I was there my wife called me and said she was bringing home two tickets for the game tonight. I guess I'll be going by myself. I'll head over there early and try to give one of them away if I can.
 
Small ribeye and some cauliflower drowned in cheese for lunch. It was good and I should have eaten it slower to make it last longer.

Now today seems like a Monday so I suppose I'll go ahead and wash the dishes. Washing the dishes is actually therapeutic for me because the hot water makes my hands feel better. Sometimes I just go in there and run them under the hot water until I can't take the heat any longer. Just say no to RA.

Good for you. Glad you're feeling better. You've been fighting it for quite a while.
 
Listened to the Jones show off and on today and he was talking with CJ Conrad. Asked him if he heard the voices calling for him to get the ball more and what did he think about it. He was diplomatic but did say there were times when he wanted the ball and didn't get it. Also pointed out that this year he had the second most receptions behind Bowen and that we were a run first team so no one got a lot of passes. He also said we were going to be spreading things out more this year and that he thought Touchdown Terry would be the best quarterback in the SEC this year. Good stuff.

He sounds smaller than he is.
 
First physical exam in about a decade tomorrow morning at my wife's insistence. At my age (60-plus) the chances of being told, "You're good. See you in a couple years" are virtually zero, if my suspicions about the health care industry are accurate.

I am going to miss C.J. and think he has a very bright future in the NFL. He was a team player. Sure hope and think he might be right about Wilson. I think he has a high ceiling and we haven't seen anywhere near what he can do on the field.

Oh and yes, I admire you for being able to listen to Jones. I just can't do it. I hate his whiny voice and his politics. If I were to listen to him and his crew my day would be ruined. So I don't. You are a better man than me, that is for sure because if I was forced to listen to Jones I wouldn't have a radio left. They would be in the bottom of my lake.

I'm not a complacent listener. I do some very vigorous talking to my radio at times. It's amazing how ignorant he is about so many subjects.

Correct, I tried my best to listen to his show because I live about 900 miles from UK and I needed a source of news. But he is so ignorant of so many things a true UK fan should know. He has no idea of UK basketball before Pitino. One day I had him on and he was belittling an outstanding UK team from the 1970's as if nothing they did counted. He made fun of some of the UK greats in the rafters. Like who are these guys and why are they honored in the rafters. Greats I grew up listening about as Cawood described their games. Then from belittling UK players from the past he jumped to politics and again was so ignorant of the subject I had to turn him off. I have tried several times to listen to his program but it was the same every show. Now I listen to Tom Leach at 9:00 on I Heart radio and get excellent interviews and all of the UK news out there. My blood pressure remains low and my day is pleasant.

I admire you Tommy. Go Cats beat the low life Razorbacks

He is a UK fan, but at the end of the day, he is a liberal, and it shows. It's ok that he is, but don't slant what is supposed to be a sports talk show in that direction.

....and this is basically why I haven't listened in what is going on a few years now. Same content, same angle, same callers, etc..and so on and so forth. I'm not going to be one of his sheep that just goes along with the rest. Like others have alluded to, I can stream Tom Leach on iheart for some solid UK sports info.

But, to each his own.......

Oh, you'll be referred to some specialist for sure.
 
Horrible first half. No other way to put it. My guess is that these guys are either overlooking the hogs to get to the UT game or their heads are swollen from success. Regardless they better get it together in the 2nd half. Now is not the time for a "bad loss" so close to the tournament seedings. With a Duke loss a win here is big time.
