We always put our Christmas decorations up the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I'll probably put the outdoor wreaths and spotlights out the day after or before depending on the weather.
I really feel for the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is a state that has been over run with outsiders and unfortunately all must suffer. The residents in the Western part of the state are totally different than in Northern Virginia.
I didn't watch it and have no idea who we have on our team. But KSR will hype them and talk about National Championships, hanging number 9 and so forth. Then we have to go to Knoxville and BAM, they get hit in the mouth and come back across that Jellico Mountain wondering what in the heck happened.
When I drove back to Kentucky during the summer the rental car I drove got about the same in gas milage.
Ben, I am rapidly losing faith in Cal's formula.
I have just ignored the roster names and tried not to get to know them as I once did. Crazy. Few will be around next season. I wish all of them well and hope they have a nice pro career. I see the NBA is paying lots and lots of money and contracts are running as much as $150 million for some of them. Nice.
During my working career I rented a lot of cars, several a week, most all with AVIS since my company had a contract with them.
What did Rooster ever do to you? hahahaha
With all due respect to you Ben, you’re right, he does. But, I am at the point where I really don’t care anymore. I just miss the days of watching a team build and grow for 3-4 years, not 3-4 months. Guess I’m old fashioned and resistant to change, but that’s what I am. And it ain’t gonna change, pardon the pun. I didn’t watch madness, and probably won’t watch the first few games this year, if they play them. Can’t believe I’ve lost so much interest, but it is what it is.
Man these phones. OK I am correcting it. LOL Thank God for the edit button
With our team of greenhorns. I'd feel much better with Immanuel and Nick but I wouldn't stay if I was getting drafted. Madness stunk. Pro Day was much better (see below). So I'd think the first thing I'd do is start a classic lineup. Like a Sarr-c, Ware-pf, Toppin-sf, Askew-pg & Mintz-sg. Then say 7 or 8 minutes platoon to Brookes, Allen, Fletcher, Clarke & Boston in a position accelerated pace onslaught. Just to get the team loose before the game time teaching starts, freak out opposition coaches and the confuse the media.
That's because it's based on fallacies.
Too me, Cal consistently does what he believes is best for the players and their families. His players are like everyone else in they won't care what he knows until they know how much he cares. He only has 1 year for sure. Maybe 2, at best 3, & rarely 4/5. He can't start by alienating the boys when teaching them to think for themselves so they can become leaders not trained lemmings.
While I believe my 2007 F150 would make it, I did not want to take the chance. With over 125k miles on it and it being a V8 I figured the money spent on a rental that saved gas would come out about the same.During my working career I rented a lot of cars, several a week, most all with AVIS since my company had a contract with them.
But I never thought about renting when I went on vacation. I might do that in the future. My daughter did that last year when she went up to Memphis and it worked out well. She had just bought a new Audi and did not want to put miles on it.
I watched madness until Cal started yapping about blm so, I shut it off. If he starts that during games, I am finished with them this year. I have not watched football so far this year so...
That is a good solid plan. At my age I may never buy another vehicle. I know for sure I will not buy a new one. I restored my 2000 PU and it has about 190,000 miles but the engine is in excellent shape as is the transmission. My wife has an Audi Q5 and it is the best traveling car we have owned. Smooth and fast as a cheetah. So if we travel in a vehicle this is what we would take. But I am going to strongly consider the rental route.
I do that all the time. I relate to both the desire for liberty and equality. Lies and deceit will not advance either.
Gotta love STEAM POWER!
Well, I ain’t obliging Andy either 😒 just because that’s the way they say it has to be done don’t make it right. Sometimes you have to go against the grain to get the right finish you’re looking for. But I know what you’re saying.I really miss those days, too, but those days, as they say are "Gone With the Wind." It's a time gone by, like letting your kids play up the street without worrying that they may be abducted, or leaving your house unlocked when you went to the grocery because you knew your neighbors would watch it for you. Nowadays, you have to lock it to keep your neighbors from emptying it while you're gone. lol. The NBA has created this monster, and Cal just has to play to their rules the best he can. If you have to reload every year, and just keep one or two, to be competitive, we'll just have to live with it. I hate that you don't get to know these kids better and get to enjoy them for 3-4 years, but that is how it is in 2020. We also can only have 8 people for Thanksgiving dinner.
I just can't see Adolph Rupp coaching in this system. He was an educator and valued school work and preparing for a career. I remember going to school when Pat Riley was at UK and you would always find him with a text book in his hand studying be it in the Student Union or library. Louie Dampier, Cotton Nash and Pat Riley were All America basketball players but they were also serious students. Cotton was Pre Dental but professional sports derailed dental school.
For you old time baseball fans here is "Babe Ruth's Cabin" located in Aripeka, FL. Aripeka is a really neat little place directly on the Gulf. Very tiny. But it had / has some of the best fishing on the Gulf of Mexico. The Babe loved to fish in the Gulf. I live in the same county as the location of his cabin
