D-League

[BBUK]

Means a lot right now to this old country boy, for sure. I’m damn proud.

we knew (or should have), at his first press conference accepting the job. He gave his priorities. But nobody listened. And still didn’t for a few years, because he was winning. Only when the product on the floor caught up with the misguided plan, did fans begin to question his priorities. But it’s been there from day one. Go back and listen to his acceptance speech if you don’t believe me. I, got one, was never on board. But I caught hell on the Rafters because of it.

I was naïve Bc, I thought the BBN would change Cal slightly. The passionate and "crazy" people that Cal came to work for never changed him. What I was looking to happen was bringing the kids Cal cares for along for the wild ride that is UK. Cal stuck to his guns, he has changed some, he did what Tubby would not and got rid of some dead weight. Not sure of Cal's motives but I thought Cal's ending generational poverty was a noble cause. Yeah, he took us where we should not have been. He is still in charge. I am hoping he gets the BBN where they envision themselves. (Yes, some BBN faithful have delusional visions of something that never was or never happened.

In any event the BBN and UK are the pinnacle of the college world of basketball. I for one hope Cal can un-kneel. I will leave it at that in a state of hope but things are going crazy all over, why should UK and the BBN be any different.... I hope "We" are...

 

[BBUK]

How bad was the 70's for home decor?

Those were the exceptions...not the rule but....they were for sure....many of these types...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I’ll state the contrary position on pro day. It was a brilliant innovation when Cal came up with it — that’s obvious because everyone from K to Self stole it.

It gave UK one more edge in getting the best recruits. And I don’t see how it is incompatible with wanting to win championships at Kentucky. If I’m remembering right, the first Pro Day was followed by a National Championship.

I don’t see a down side to it.

Decor was pretty bad in the 70's. Same with fashion. Now music and movies were the best IMO.

Hate to say it, because I’ve invested over 50 years in UK basketball, but he lost me. Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t be back at some point, but for now, I’m out. Have been since 2015. But, Uk football has been on the climb, so I’m still UK all the way. But I stick to my first impression of Cal. And it’s still the same. He isn’t for UK. He is for draft day. That don’t float my boat.

That time allowed a whole lot of degenerates to rise to power (And, aspiring degenerates to have hope and stay their course..). (Music and Movies not withstanding, this country and the world could have done without the rest of it...)

I just want to know where Cals heart is. I think by listening to Cals own words we know where that is. Yes he has made some good moves since last season but that doesn’t mean, unfortunately, that winning and winning championships is his number 1 priority. Canceling this for even 1 year would have spoken a lot.

 

[UK82]

31 days of horror movies here. Except game days of course. We'll be watching Freaks, a controversial film for its time (1932), people actually ran out of the theater. It was banned in the UK for 30 years. I love it.

ESPN is the worst. The only time I watch is when the Cats are playing.

They're too woke for my liking.

 

[bertfan31]

Won my golf match today. Didn't play the guy I thought I was going to and this guy was quite a bit better. Was good for me though to have to concentrate and play hard. Match play 4 and 3.

Told my wife that I was more proud of playing the same ball for two days in a row without losing it.

I remember it well. America's dysfunctional era for interior design.

Looking forward to just playing golf again. I’ve played once all summer, since June. My work (farming), holds me back. Have to find a way to retire . Anybody want to buy a few tractors and “rode hard and put up wet” equipment? I’m selling, cheap . Think Mr. Haney. 🥴

Our home never looked like that. My mother would have thought that stuff was way too flashy and she was trying to show off.

 

[vhcat70]

I'm so disconnected from college hoops anymore that I have to guess what Pro Days are (Though sounds pretty obvious.). Never heard of them till now. And am fine with that.

You were lucky. Trust me.

That wasn't the only dysfunctional area of the era... Some serious freaks emerged and took root during that time...

 

[BBUK]

Mom always liked you best... I liked the Smothers Brothers even though back then they were that times version of liberals. They were seriously funny...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and clear. Thunderstorms moved through around 1 am with the front. Pup woke me up because she got upset over the booming and banging. We may have received 1/2 inch rain. Today's high could reach 85°F.

Monday, Monday....

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 60° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will be mainly sunny, with a high of 84°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Monday Morning D League

The coffee has perked and the bacon is frying. Time for breakfast and a new day is rising.

The sun should be up soon bringing us plenty of sunshine with a current temperature of 67° and a high this afternoon of 83°.

I spent yesterday celebrating our win over the Bengal Tigers but today we look forward to Georgia. The world says the game is over before the Cats show up. They said the same thing about Texas A&M Saturday. You just never know.

I trust all have a great day and Southern Food Heritage Day is a day i can handle. I will have at least one of the items below today. Starting with breakfast.

Read Matthew 17 and 18

[Sawnee Cat]

Some of you may get this, some maybe not

 

[bertfan31]

Good morning! That's exactly right Sawnee. No team is above being beaten. It's not the size of the gun, it's the placement of the shot that counts.

House chores today. Grass, dishes, laundry.

No golf today. Do Not Call!

I was always proud of playing two holes with the same ball!

It is 69.4°F here and sunny on our way to 82.

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League.

Thanks for the laugh, Sawnee. After all these years, I can watch an episode of the Honeymooners and not only laugh but feel good about the way the show makes me feel. The fact that it can barely be shown in reruns because the MeToo movement has made it politically incorrect speaks to the brittle identity-based hysteria of our day. As if anyone watching Ralph and Alice interact really thought him capable of harming her. She was the calm, wise center of the family. That should be celebrated by women.

Anyway, hope its a good day for all. If you have time, here's one of my favorite Hooneymooner clips, when Ralph gets stage fright trying to sell the "Chef of the Future" on TV...

No idea where that is, but reminds me of Sunderland, MA, where we lived for two years.

I didn't know you were on your way to my house. See ya soon!

Be there in no time!

 

[bertfan31]

Bert, I don't how I feel about you going to 82's house. He lives in Louisville, one of the most dangerous cities in America. If you insist then let me know when you cross into Jefferson Co, and I'll meet you there and provide cover.

No offense intended for any poor bastard who lives there. Peace!

 

[OldEvilleCat]

Just FYI ... I did not win the Half Pot at the West Side Fall Festival.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – The West Side Nut Club drew the winning half pot ticket Saturday night.
The winning ticket is NC-9398487.
The half pot total reached over $1.5 million.
Half Pot
I only donated $20 to the cause. Wait'll next year!

No offense taken......if you need back up....call on awf......I am in the central part of the county and be most any place in the country pretty fast......

Thanks BF31! Just make sure to follow the checkpoints to St. Matthews and never stray from the major arteries within the city. And for the love of God keep your windows rolled up.

Affa noon D Legionnaires!

Wife and I both had dental appointments this morning to replace fillings that came out nearly on the same day. Then a trip to Sam's to load up on some stuff. Before coming home. Bought a big apple pie and a Pumpkin roll for dessert next few days.

Yeah Austin, storms ran through us last night too at about 1900-2200. We had some high winds and tornado warnings with some heavy rain. Wind blew rain through our storm door in the front so, time to replace it. Hail at about 3'' size. The older dogs wanted nothing to do with it but, the puppy was enjoying the wind and the slight drizzle before the deluge. She just ran around the yard before I could to talk her into getting in the house.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

You guys are wonderful. I think the world of all of you.

AWF is going to bring down some birds for me to see. I am really looking forward to that. I want to see them released and fly home. Raise those pigeons AWF.

Also, you people are in more danger than you may think; my daughter is in Shelby County and my son is in Spencer County. Beware!

 

[bertfan31]

Grass is mowed and weeds have been eaten. Dishes are clean and dryer is almost dry.

I've got 2 more hours of MY day left and then my wife gets home. Weee!

 

[bertfan31]

Thought I would check out the Sagarin ratings to see how the polls stacked up against computers and real life.

UK is currently at 21. We have the 77th ranked schedule and have 1 victory against a top 10 team at the time.

We are ranked 11.

Cincy is ranked 8 in the Sagarin and they have the 97th ranked schedule and have 1 victory against a top 10 team. They've only played 5 games.

They are ranked 3

Just sayin...
