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.

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.

Shooting occurred just two streets over from us earlier today. No one shot, but a few folks shaken up. Shooters still at large. I walk through the parking lot, pictured in the video, a few times daily.
No known injuries after shots were fired in north Austin, police now searching for gunmen
APD said the original call came in as a “reported active shooter,” but when officers got to the scene near North Lamar Blvd. and Rundberg Lane, those involved had left the scene.
Thanks. I went for my late-afternoon walk at 3:35 pm today and noticed the parking lot filled with people and police. Wife called roughly 20 minutes later. She said be careful because active shooters may be in the area.
Man, all this is making me nervous about my daughter being there. She already had her new car (college graduation present from my wife's mother) broken into. What happened to gentle, dope-smoking, guitar-picking, half-a-hippy Austin I used to visit 20 years ago?
If she lives down within 3 miles of UTexas campus downtown, she's good. We live in a rough part of ATX, which is 8 miles north up Lamar Blvd. Lookup crime rates for zip code 78753. Chronically high up here.
are you a sailor man?
There's a place in southern Illinois called Little Grand Canyon. There are several state parks in the area. One of them is called Garden of the Gods. There's a rock formations in it that is very precarious, though not as bad as the one pictured. Every year or two, you read about someone dying from a fall there.
‘I’ve had all I can stands, I can’t stands no more.’ So, maybe I am.
When I was a teenager a guy in my high school (of about 130 people) died in a fall on a camping trip to Red River Gorge. There have been roughly 80 deaths documented there since 1960, according to the park’s website.
My nephew fell nearly thirty feet at the gorge, luckily/miraculously he only broke his arm. dangerous place to be wandering around at night.
