My first lobster ever was in Panama (Feb 81 or 82) just after graduating Jungle Training School. That was our graduation dinner.Happy 21st
Speaking of lobster reminds me of a story about my poor wife cooking her first lobsters. I was assigned to work in Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard for about 6 weeks and when I was flying back home out of Logan Airport in Boston I picked up a couple of live lobsters at Legal Seafood in the terminal. They pack them in a container designed to hand carry on the plane.
So I get home and was ready to treat the wife to a lobster dinner. My wife had never cooked live lobsters and she put them in a turkey roaster which was really too shallow to cook lobsters. When she dropped them in the boiling water they tried to crawl out and she screamed and ran out of the house. I came running into the kitchen and saw on had actually got out onto the counter top and the second was about to. I put them back in the pot and put a lid on it and finished the job. She refused to eat hers because it was staring at her and she just couldn't do it. Live and learn.
That was early in our marriage and I told her to get over that because I would be bringing home a sack of blue crabs often and she better learn how to cook them live. Here they are and they were really good. I ate both of them.
Exactly, Michael Graham was the intimidator in that game. Patrick Ewing was Patrick Ewing but Graham was the difference. It was a nightmare.
And oh yes, Rupp Arena was at it's prime in those days and you could cut the tension with a knife. I wonder if that feeling will ever return to Rupp. If it does the students will have to get more involved. The students during that period were the best spectators on earth.
Morning folks. I am back from the mountains and I am tired and glad to be back.
Happy anniversary Warrior.
Happy anniversary Warrior.
Welcome back Bert, get some rest and take care
Of all the heartbreak losses, Georgetown was the toughest for me. Even tougher than the Laettner and Wisconsin games. I graduated 2 years earlier and had both Bowie and Turpin in a few classes. Turpin dated my roommate's girlfriend's roommate (confused?) so he got to know him well. Turpin sat out most of the 2nd half while the team shot a paltry 3 for 33 from the field. They were shut out completely for the first 10 minutes. Unfortunately most UK faithful know these stats all too well. It took me forever to get over that defeat.
I bought one of his cookbooks. Really good recipes.
Sawnee -- Graham was a bizarre character, who has led a tormented and strange life. He was kicked off Georgetown after the 1984 tournament, rumor has it for drugs and, or insubordination. He never played college ball again.
He played in the CBA for on-the-way up Phil Jackson, who eventually kicked him off the team, saying, "I tried everything. Nothing could reach him." That from the coach who got Dennis Rodman to function as a disciplined team member. Graham played overseas at a low level for a few years, but was finished with basketball by the early 1990s.
After that, he bounced around in odd jobs for years. I remember going to a meeting at a swanky hotel in DC back in the early 1990s, and there he was in some crazy, ornate dove-colored tuxedo and top hat -- the world's hugest door man! He later worked for years at a rental car company, between scrapes with the law.
Then, I remember reading in 2013 that he won a million dollar lottery prize. There were a round of stories on him then, including this long one in a DC magazine if anyone is interested in one of the Wildcat's classic villains. He's vanished again since then.
The Troubled, Tormented, Surprisingly Lucky Life of Michael Graham - Washingtonian
Let's begin with an old cover of Sports Illustrated. The issue date is April 9, 1984. The image is of a Georgetown University basketball star, big-elbowed and bald-headed, dunking over two flailing University of Houston basketball players during the Final...

In the spirit of things to eat I made a little video of one of my favorite things to eat with my bacon. Biscuits and sugar cane syrup. My grandpa taught me how to do it the right way
Sorry SC I hit the wrong number, read 10 yesterday 11 this morning. It's like he is talking to us today, same stuff going on!!!

On that Georgetown team:
I used to run with Joe B. Hall some. He was recruiting Pat Ewing. On our way to an AAU tourney Joe told me that Pat would not play division one basketball as he did not have the grades.
A while later he announced he was going to Georgetown. I mention it to Joe once and he refused to discuss it.

Dang, I thought that was Lebron again for a couple seconds...
(Cleaning my glasses now, but it was an honest mistake...OH, that's a Bass too and not a Carp.)

Ok Here is my favorite, Southwest Chicken
2- Cups crushed Cheez-it crackers- more about this later
2- Tablespoons of Taco Seasoning- more later
6- Boneless chicken breast- We cut the chicken in chunks, like it better this way and cooks quicker
1/2 cup melted butter
Favorite shredded cheese
Combine crushed crackers and taco seasoning in a gallon storage bag
Melt butter in a pot and keep warm
Place pieces of chicken in the melted butter
Place butter coated chicken in the cracker and Taco mixture in bag and shake to coat good
Place chicken in a baking pan, we line it in foil and spray with Pam
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, we always check just to make sure it's done
About 5 minutes before you think it's done, remove and put your favorite cheese on chicken, cook for 5 minutes
Now about the Cheez-it crackers, we have used the regular Cheez-it and the Bacon cheddar flavored both are good. Don't know about the jalapeno flavored ones, because I don't like spicy stuff.
The taco seasoning, if you like it spicier add more than 2 tablespoons
One thing I have found out when making this is, keeping the butter warm, because if you melt the butter in a bowl, the cool chicken make the butter gel up and it's hard to coat the chicken real good, so keeping the butter warm let's you coat it better
Also I use more than 2 cups of Cheez-it crackers, because when I get done with coating all the chicken, I put what's left of the cracker and taco mixture on the chicken, because it is really good, kind of like what's let from fish and chips. Any questions just ask me! Enjoy- Cord!!

This big boy showed up in my backyard this morning begging for food. I fed him and took a little video of his visit.

Been super busy with work and the day off for the family reunion set me back an extra day.

I apologize profusely... I'm a jerk but try not to be a jerk to others.

Happy 21st Anniversary Warrior.
Morning Legionnaires!
Headed for the Medicine Park creek walk in that rustic old town with in laws. Temp today will approach 100° but, that area has some trees along the walkway over the shops that will afford some cover. Getting out early too (around 10am) and will eat lunch there before heading back to my house for whatever they want to do until evening where me, my wife and daughter will head to Red Lobster. Not sure they want to go but, FIL will have to pay if he goes. We have been paying for everything so far and he has made it clear he wants to pay for something so, the anniversary dinner should make up for most of it.
It has been a staycation for me and the family since the FIL has come. Originally my wife was hesitant to take the week off thinking it would be a waste but said yesterday that she has actually enjoyed the resting days in between the days her father comes over. No fishing for me this week
Hope the day finds all well android for the hurting, God's hands be on you.

@BBUK you didn't click the link. Trust me, you'll like it.
A brand-new new soccer stadium opened here in Austin located just 2 miles from our place. Facility opens tonight with a game between Nigeria and US National Women's Team. Our new team plays this coming Saturday. Drove by earlier for food pick-up at Catfish Parlor. Traffic = crazy.
Have you ever watched the World Cup?
Yes, several times, both men and women. Began seriously following soccer back in 1986.
Oh I did too butt I was trying not to be lewd... It fit, it fit...China's biotch..(Using American tax dollars..)
People haven't seen passionate fans, until they watch a soccer game. I'm going to try and watch some Euro Cup this weekend.
I attended a few Bundesliga games in the 80s. Those fans are extremely passionate. Brits were the biggest hooligans in Europe back then. They started fires and basically terrorized foreign towns during and after matches. Rode a bus with some some British guys out of London who planned on attending a football match in Antwerp back during summer, 2010. Dudes acted nuts. Even other Brits apologized for those fans after they got off our bus.
I've always heard that the British had the craziest fans. Some of the chants they use during Premier League games are actually quite funny.
