Must have been nice to have that much free time.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Banged up too. Need the rest.
I was thinking the same thing. You know Stoops and Marrow will keep their ear to the ground
No doubt. We've seen improvements with him lately and I think he played fairly well yesterday. Most of the dropped balls could have been thrown better, but nearly every one they got two hands on should have been caught. I see too many guys catch them for other teams.
Too bad we didn't have Ali to pose another downfield threat they would have to respect. We had a tightend drop a pass that was easily catchable. How often does that happen? Those dudes are dying to get a pass thrown their way and they hold on tight till the end. Hence...tight end.
Just like we thought, the loss to UK broke that camels back. Read where this happened midweek after the loss to UK. Might be a struggle to get a player to come to the school that got his coach fired.
Business is business though and we could use a couple of those receivers they've got.
I could make an old joke about tight ends but this is a PG rated thread. Isn't it?
There once was a man from Nantucket....

Putting on The Exorcist right now. Halloween month continues.
Fun fact:
Much of Regan’s moaning and grunting were created by remixing pig squeals. When the demon is finally exorcised from her body, the sound you hear is a group of pigs being led to slaughter.

The biggest weakness the Cats have is their speed/athleticism at the skilled positions imo. Other than Wan'Dale, no other receiver strikes any fear into a defense right now. Wan'Dale had over 337 yards receiving the first 3 games, 229 the last 4. Defenses have learned to take him away from us, because of that weakness. Stoops is making headway on the recruiting trail at the position, with Crowdus, and most likely Key to join.
We've got some receivers coming along, but it would be better to get a couple with experience as well as ability.
Fun fact, Jesus commanded demons out of two men that went in to swine.
Good morning D, Read 26.
Our hearts are breaking , we lost our 13 year old grandson yesterday! I ask the D to keep us in your prayers. Thank you my D league friends!

I'm so sorry to hear this tragic news. Prayers sent for you and your family during this time.
Good morning D-League.
Cord, I can’t express my sorrow at such tragic news. Your family will certainly be in my prayers and in my thoughts.
I know you’ll be a comfort to your children at this terrible time.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 43° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 70°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Cord, so sorry to hear this tragic news. Our prayers are with .you and your precious family during these sad and sorrowful times. May God be with you.
Read Matthew 26
Good morning D-League.
I have been on the lanai drinking my coffee and enjoying a cool, for us, 53° and clear skies. We will get close to 80 this afternoon with sunny skies and a high of 79°.
This pattern should continue all week. I trust all have a good day and prayers for those who are hurting in body and spirit.

Nothing melts down like a big orange. (See what I did there? That whole area is funded by the nuke industry).
Good morning, D-League!
I've been kicking back outside in the upper 30s this morning in just a tshirt at first. Then I picked up my nipples and went back inside for a long sleeve thermal. What happened to Fall? Lol
I'll envy you for a few months starting in December, Sawnee Cat. Probably spend a few days in Florida if the politicians don't close down the highways and put trolls under the bridges.
It's going to be a tough winter for a lot of people. We'll be trying to help the food pantry from here through next summer. These forced shortages are gonna be rough. They're trying to start a panic so they can bring the military into it, declare martian law, and force people into Area 51.
Gotta get back to work. Never know when a golf ball will be thrown at you and keep you from getting a job done.

Very sorry for your loss, Cordmaker.
I was thinking about the death of so many loved ones these days. I think they are being taken from this world to keep them from corruption by this world and spare them the pain and suffering to come, but it makes our suffering seem all the greater. A friend lost her only son to drowning and I don't know how she keeps on, yet she does and has for years.
It will seem like an instant to them since you last saw them, for now they rest. We have to hold on that much tighter to our Savior and His ways so we can be assured to see them again one day.
Praying for your peace and that of your family

RIP Colin Powell. The ultimate melding of military man and politician. I met him a couple times and he seemed like a genuine person at that level. More impressive - when my son was about ten he seemed to have a real interest in military history and a career at West Point or Annapolis (that infatuation didn't last long.) I had good contacts in those days and was able to get close enough to Powell that he sent my son a copy of his book with a short encouraging note. So, I have nothing but respect for him.
He died of COVID complications despite being fully vaccinated, for what that's worth.

yes, we are close to starting what is our best time of the year for weather. Our humidity drops and no more 90 degree days until May or June. We are near the end of the rainy season and hurricane alerts. Bright sunshine and mild temperatures will be the norm. I do like a few days where the temperature drops into the 30's because that makes the citrus fruit sweet.
I saw on the news this morning something I had not thought of and something that does not affect us most years. The cost of heating your home. I see where heating oils, gas and electricity is going through the roof in New England. They are talking 40 to 50% costs over last year. Add that to inflation and things could get rough for a lot of people.
On the local news this morning they had a COVID update and we are very low compared to the rest of America. A ratio of 40 cases out of 250,000 population state wide. And we did not lock down or close our schools for one day. And no mask mandates or state forced vaccinations.
Too bad COVID became political and was not treated with science and common sense. Instead a political party decided to use it to scare people and harvest votes. I am of the opinion deaths would have been much less and the U.S. economy would not be tanking had politics remained out of it.
I am sorry to hear this terrible news Cord.......our thoughts are with you and your family.............
Good morning! Cord, so sorry to hear about your loss. @Bert Higginbotha you too buddy. I know this brought up bad memories.
I've got some things to do today and will probably end up doing something. I don't know.
Got 2 texts this morning asking me to play golf today. Said no and I'm proud of it. I'll be playing tomorrow and Wednesday.
Later today I'm going to take a ride in the country and just look around.
This is a bye week. Take it easy!

Thanks bertfan. The pain simply stays there.
Cord sent me a message on the phone about this and said I could tell the folks on the D-League. I did not do it because I did not know what to say.

About the football ratings:
#2 Cincinnati played Miami of Ohio, Murray, Indiana Notre Dame, Temple and Central Florida. Wow
#3 Oklahoma played Tulane, Western Carolina, Nebraska, West Virginia, Kansas State, Texas, and TCU. Texas nearly beat them and Arkansas beat the shit out of Texas. So I call bull shit on this as their schedule is as easy as Cincinnati’s.
#4 Alabama. They lost to Texas A&M; however, they beat Miami, Mercer, Florida, Southern Mississippi, Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
#5 Ohio State. Another whuss-ass schedule of Minn, Oregon, Tulsa, Akron, Rutgers and Maryland. They lost to Oregon who could not even beat Stanford.
# 6 Michigan. What a schedule. WMU (I had to look it up; it is Western Michigan), Washington, NIU (I had to look it up; it is Northern Illinois), Rutgers, Wisconsin and Nebraska. How in hell do they deserve that ranking?
# 7 the powerhouse Penn State Nittany Lions. They whipped Wisconsin, Ball State, Auburn, Villanova, Indiana and then lost to Iowa, who got whipped by a nobody Saturday. Based on that they should be in the top 15, not number 7.
# 8, Okla State. They are undefeated. Why not put them closer to the top? Missouri State?, Tulsa, Boise State (nearly got them), Kansas State, Baylor and Texas. Why are they behind Penn State and Ohio State?
#9 Michigan State. Undefeated after playing Northwestern, Youngstown State (had to look that up), Miami, Nebraska, Western Kentucky, Rutgers and Indiana. How in hell are they top ten?
How in hell are there 5 Big Ten teams in the top ten. Drop down to Iowa and there are 6 in the top 11. Pure stupidity.
The rankings suck.

Spectrum internet and TV down for us today. Service unavailable since early this morning. Using my smartphone as a hotspot. Thank heavens for a backup.
Thelma Lou passed away. I knew that Earnest T Bass was only in 5 episodes, but just found out today that Thelma was only in 26 episodes. I would have over guessed that one too.
Thelma Lou down at the Duck Pond. What man could ask for more? Here's Barney teaching us not to screw up the bird in hand by pretending to chase one in the bush...
I don't think they used "free time" to build it. Their lower ranked soldiers and conscripts used to build things for them, iirc.
Hire Coach O to coach "how not to pick up pregnant wives of administrators 101"
Took a shower and got the dishes soaking in the sink. Other than that I've been down an interweb rabbit hole for the last hour or so. I'm not wasting time. I'm passing it along to others.
It had been a while since I had read/thought about Masada.......it only took a few months to build........
I believe that about basketball. In football , it's the poorly understood nature of the ape (12 man tribal unity that rules). The tribal nature of the colleigiate atmosphere a blessing for us all.
Slaves were not free. practiced by ants. Likely where the idea came from
In case anyone cares, I was making a joke about the "free time". At least I thought I was.
