The Zags behind by 6 with 7:32 left in the game. Vitale still annoying as fingernails on a chalkboard.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Zags down by 9 with about 3 to go. Implications.
Down 11 with 50 seconds
Final 60-47 and the Zags go down. Saint Mary's to the dance. Sorry Louisville, they just took your undeserved spot.

This loss is pretty much akin to a 16 beating a 1, isn't it?
Unbelievable. Zags average win margin in conference was 27 points. Average points per game was nearly 90 and they only scored 47. They beat St. Mary's earlier by 48 points and lose by 13 tonight. They'll still get the #1 seed but DAMN!
Just got home from work. Hope everyone is ok. FCC.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F. We've got a line of storms moving in. Looking at a wet commute this morning.
Tis the season for conference tournaments. Huge upset last night. Now media will gush over UVa, UNC and Duke like no tomorrow.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

And the horse they rode in on.
The Kraken?got lotsa yard work done yesterday and I'm feeling it today. Finished taking down and cutting up some trees. Got it all cleaned up, now I should get more sun for my garden this year. Spread about 15 bags of pea gravel along one side of my privacy fence to slow down or hopefully stop rain erosion. Pulled up three bushes. Drank way to much beer and not enough water.
Bout all I got...
Good morning all. Getting up to a balmy 67 degrees in Ashland, today, and 70 tomorrow, but the rain returns. Upper 40's for the weekend. Good time to watch basketball.
These two were eaten the very next day. Will be fishing in the next few weeks myself.
Very nice. What kind of lure did you catch them with?
Use to use it for emergency destruct training for a special weapons unit back in the 80's and would actually blow all of the emergency destruct material once it neared the end of it's shelf life. Had some fun doing it too.
Good for Kentuckians. This should be true in all 50 states.
Dark blue metal flaked 71/2" stick worms. Have caught some around here like them off of Van Dam Rodents (Blue metal flake) and river bugs of the same color.
That makes me feel better about a rematch with Duke.
We once had some left over stuff and blew it all rather than have to go through the paperwork of turning it back in. Used a shaped charge to blow a hole and then put what we had left down in it. One piece was a cratering charge and when we blew that stuff, it left a hole you could put an Abrams in and not see it from 50 yds away.
It is here in Oklahoma in November.
Good morning D-League
Woke up to a nice cool 60° morning with a high projected for 81° mid afternoon. We have a slight breeze off of the Gulf that is moving the palms. It should be a perfect day to do what you need to do. I have a list
I am ready to get this SEC tournament underway. With the Gonazaga loss things should get interested when it comes to seeding. That was quite an upset on paper but we all know the Zags have been living off of cupcakes all year.
Funny news story about rich people in Hollywood paying big money to get their unqualified children into "elite schools". Who is surprised about this?
I think I will refill my coffee cup and take this outside to the pool and watch the sun come up in the East. Have a great day.

You will never see it in the NE. I had a friend who went to NY and when he crossed the bridge, they made him pull out of line and nearly disassembled his car to try and find a weapon when they saw he had a CCW license.
Shape charges, Crater bombs, C-4, M18 Claymore Mines, and a host of others were blown for the same reason, to avoid turn in. Most units I was in (Artillery) would give the command of expend all ammo on the last day being in the field just so we would not have to turn it back in. Free for all for us itching to shoot something.
Funny story about New York City. About 25 years ago I was on assignment in New Jersey and had been there a month. My son, his friend and my wife drove up and we all decided to head into New York City. I was driving in the city when a car pulled in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes. To my surprise my wife's Smith and Wesson 38 Special slid from under the seat into the brake pedal. Having a gun in New York City means an automatic prison sentence. My wife and I had carry permits but they don't work in New York City. My wife is one who will not go on a trip without her weapon. I gave her the riot act and explained what she almost caused. I got the heck out of that town. The next morning she headed back South.
Good morning D, watched the Gonzaga game last night and it was one of those games that make you go hummmmmm! Not saying they threw it but I have watched them a few times this year and thought they were very strong team, but I have seen teams get knocked off their high horse before! Thanks guys for sharing your stories about explosives. It was a very interesting job I had with DN, after I got over the initial shock of working with something so powerful it became an everyday routine with extra safety thrown in!!!! Saw new hires come in and after they saw the demonstration of what a foot of cord would do sometimes we would never see them after break or the next day!!!! I guess thinking about some of those spools having 10,000 and 5,000 feet on each one of them just didn't set well with them! Also one of my jobs was a process that made the cord shoot as fast as it does, another very interesting process!!! You don't really think about it but a lot of thing would not get built or made without explosives!! I used to look up stuff on the net about explosives and after I was done I would think I hope no one starts knocking on my door!!!! Ya'll have a safe and good one today!!! Done rambling!!!

Good Wednesday, D-league,
It's a cool, crisp 50 degrees, headed for a sunny, mild 72 later on. Perfect weather and nice to be dry for a few days. Not much else to report on right now, so if you want specifics, you'll have to ask me.
Have a good one everybody.

Yeah, my buddy said they did not take theirs, but when they saw his license, they kept asking if he had one. He kept saying no, but they made them get out of the car, went through their luggage and even took part of his dash loose, trying to find one. It was like the Gestapo.
Ah yes, good old shaped charges. We trained often on detonating those things back in the day. We were once banned from a German range (Lager Stegskopf) for firing a few minutes past a scheduled cease-fire. Glad we never shot one for real on a Nike-Herc armed with a warhead.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
New York City is the Gestapo run by a commie leaning pervert. I use to go to there often for business and I have toured the entire city several times. I will live the rest of my life by not going there. In 1995 I was offered a very high paying job to move to New York City. My office would be in Manhattan. I turned it down saying I have a wife and children and I would not make them live in a hell on earth. Best decision I made in my working career. I often wonder if I had taken that job would I still have a wife and family. Maybe not.
Good morning to all. Off today. Laundry and some other chores. Didn't see that Gonzaga game.
Cord, "threw it". Not sure I follow. You mean so St Mary could get into the Dance? Anyway, seems like I remember thinking in the past that the conference tourneys didn't effect seeding for the dance.
Oh, fishing stories. Sure like catching those slab crappies on Ky lake. One year we pulled back in a bay. They were biting so good that you had to pull up on the bank and hide behind a tree just to bait your hook. FCC.

Yea that was a bad choice of words, but was just saying I watched them play several times and the games that I saw Gonzaga pushed the ball just about every time they got a rebound, I just didn't see that last night
Don't have OCD but I do have OSC doing Occasionally Stupid Crap!
I think it's hard for any #1 team, HS, College, pro, to bring it every game. You point out an interesting thing. Golden State for example. At least playing 4 hall of fame guys. Thompson commented the other day that during the game the crowd wasn't into it. He said the team needed the energy to help them finish the season, especially being the playoffs were so close. That's Golden State. Recently won a couple of playpoffs. Has a couple of guys including thompson, Curry, Durrant, Green. They can't bring it every night and neither can a bunch of kids 18 or 19 yr olds.
All that not withstanding, a team of those kids are going to win 6 in the dance. Cats can certainly do that. Laundry calls. FCC.
Good morning D. Good night of hoops last night. Can't account for Gonzaga's pratfall. They'd looked much better in games I watched. But I do think they could be a shocking early exit. Or not. It's so tough to say. I was happy for the kids from Northern Kentucky. They are putting together a nice program there. That's the part of the state where my family moved when I was a kid, from further south and east, and I have a couple nephews at NKU. Go Norse.
Things will really start heating up by tomorrow. I love this time of year, but it makes me a nervous wreck.

Whoa. You sure about that, preacher?
The worst sunburn I ever got in my life was from a day in a boat in trunks on Ky Lake.
ditto.
They offered to triple my salary. I refused.
Soon I retired to Kentucky.
My best friend lived in Cape Cod, MA. The shortest route from Smiths Grove, KY to Falmouth, MA is through NY City. I go via Buffalo, down the MA turnpike and in. It cost a day, but the heck with a day.
When I retired I vowed never to go to LA or NYC. So far I have kept that promise.
Some things just are not worth it Bert. NYC and LA are in that group.
r
chief I agree I've been burnt time and time again on KY Lake. When I was 16 my parents let me go to Daytona Beach with 2 friends. I was amazed the next day when we hit the beach and all the eye candy. By days end and salt water I was burned more than a woodfired lobster. One of the biggest lessons of a lifetime.
