BBUK, that what I was in for 6 years, 1/123D Armor Div. I have the utmost respect for you MILITARY MEN that served our country overseas!!!! Not going to say anything else because I always get my a$$ chewed out every time I do!!!Hats off and hearts out to ...these guys...
Amazing. When I was 12 years old I nearly died of a ruptured appendix. Infection was so severe they had a drainage tube in me so my body could get rid of it. I was skinny and weak but I remember the day I got out of the hospital I went over to a cow pasture close to where I lived and watched my buddies playing baseball. Within a few days I was out there swinging, pitching and running after baseballs.
It was amazing yesterday, I heard his mother and grandfather talk about listening to his heartbeat before and after the surgery. Before they said you could hear a swooshing sound when his heart beat and now nothing but a good beating heart!!! One more thing about him, his mother said that it sounds crazy, but I can feel in his hands and feet that he is getting stronger!!!!!
#bakedscallopsday .... but what if I prefer them fried?Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F, cloudy with light drizzle and winds from the south. Expecting 84°F for today's high.
Another basketball season in the books. Severely disappointed. Wife says watch out next season because the Cats will be back. We'll see.
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Been working on a project for the last month or two....tracking my Dad's actions/path in WWII in Patton's 3rd Army. He was a tank commander. He never talked about the war and even though I have been a history buff my entire life I never asked him about it. Guess I figured he didn't want to talk about it. He died in the mid-80s and we didn't have a lot of info of his war years other than a couple pictures and 3 Army cases of medals (he had/won quite a few). As the years went by my 'bro and I were able to find more and more documents, etc and finally about a year ago we found one that pointed us in the right direction.Hats off and hearts out to ...these guys...
Amen and amen.
My son spent 20 years in the National Guard in three states, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky. He was deployed when he was in Florida. Then 18 years into his career he was diagnosed with a small hole between two chamber of his heart. Low and behold the Army advised him that he was still deployable.
thanks Joe. You knocked the price right out of the ceiling.
I too would like to give a shout-out to Joe. Went to the grocery this morning. Gas at 2.80 for regular. Meijers (chain out of Michigan with stores like WalMart superstores) had as many empty shelves as when the big panic first started. Got better but now looks like last Spring/early Summer.
Agreed. Hopefully Cal finds one or two.
Right after Desert Storm, there was a huge exodus. Family and wives became more important than careers. Hence the reason my ex-wife and I are not longer together. It also coincided with drawdown during end of 1991.
Speaking of football, looks like the Cats are getting an accomplished running backs coach from Wisconsin. Hopefully he stays longer than the last one.Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F, cloudy with light drizzle and winds from the south. Expecting 84°F for today's high.

If we don't get upgrade the point guard position in a big way, next year may be more of the same.
Dang Sawnee. If you are going to start dropping Georg Friedrich Hegel on us, I'm going to be too intimidated to post...But I agree with the sentiment.
For good or for bad Askew is coming back. 4-star PG Nolan Hickman will be coming next year and 4-star PG TyTy Washington decommitted from Creighton and has UK in the mix. Also, 5-star Skyy Clark, who has already signed with UK could reclassify to 2021 (unlikely but possible). It's not like getting a John Wall or Tyler Ulis but it's better than nothing.
Smart move, you missed out on misery and the worst season for UK since 1926 or when ever it was.
I thought I better get this on record before Cancel Culture puts it in the deep freeze. Hegel is on the short list of burying for eternity.
I just had an existential insight myself Chief.
Always have thought that football coaches are a mysterious lot...more so than b'ball coaches.Speaking of football, looks like the Cats are getting an accomplished running backs coach from Wisconsin. Hopefully he stays longer than the last one.

Morning Legionnaires!
70's on tap today with possible thunderstorms. Need to spread "Weed & Feed" before the rain to start out the yard work year. Ankle still hurting but not as bad so, I will try to gut it out to spread the mixture.
Not unhappy the season is over since I did not watch many games this year due to the reasons stated above. I know we all have standards we live by and mine is respect to God, Family, Country, then UK. The only way I have to protest the disrespect shown our country lately is to not support the culprits monetarily or by watching. I know some will say one person does not make a difference but, it does to me because if makes me feel as if I am making a difference and I am in my life. In fact, my wife likes the fact that I have not been yelling at the tv when things are going bad during a game much this year. Not only that but, she has more time to watch what she wants. Also, If more people stop watching and buying tickets, and UK gear their pocket books will suffer and perhaps they will wise up.
All that being said, I am a UK fan for life and will never change that nor did I want them to lose any game this year. I am just glad it is over and hope that they can get their act together and teach these kids what this country is really about and that most people are not against them.
Oh and by the way Austin, not a big scallop fan so...heh, heh, heh, I won't be eating that today.

The only way you see me standing there would be photo-shopped!!!!Fans on the edge
Alright, here's a favorite from my archives for you armor guys. This shot was taken by a photographer from Hearst Newspapers named Andrew Innerarity who was my pardner on a couple trips to Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s. He took this shot in March, 2003 in Kuwait at Camp Pennsylvania as the 4th ID (1st Battalion, 66th armor in this case) zeroed in their main tank guns before going into Iraq, eventually through Baghdad, Taji, Balad, Tikrit and up to Mosul.
Sadly, UK will probably have at least 3 declare for the draft off a team that won NINE games, which is unfathomable. It use to be that if you had 3 declare for the draft, then UK was coming off a deep March run.
