D-League

Neither team played well. Duke has some talent and played to the their strengths. Our adjustments insufficient. Albeit, first game. and we played like it. Wheeler was on a island and surrounded by stars not shining too brightly, and in the end, trying too hard himself. TyTy was not ready for a game of this magnitude but not far away. Daimion obviously too immature. Toppin inconsistant. If the coachimg is as talented as our team we'll be fine. I have not been particularly impressed with Cal this past couple of seasons. Success this season, as usual will limited by team unity and cohesion. Ceiling is unlimiteted and could include #9. Personally, that's the entertaining part. Watching them mature, grow into young men and develop as a team. I'd sure like to see Cal be successful. All these fellows seem to be decent folk giving an honest effort and deserve his best.​

Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F and mostly cloudy. Front coming through late Thursday or early Friday. Today's high reaching 80°F.

Oscar really impressed me last night. He must stay out of foul trouble. Wheeler played a good game with 16 points and 10 assists, but turned it over 7 times. Cats held Duke to 1-12 from behind the arc. Unfortunately, Blue Devils still shot 50% from the field and hit 64% of their twos. Meh, much good, some bad.

Co-worker out today and Friday. Hope we're not too busy.

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

Good morning all. Can't say it's a beautiful sunny morning...because it's pitch black outside. Fewer and fewer minutes of sunshine this time of year. But it is supposed to be a nice day. It's low 40s right now in the Buckeye State...heading up to close to 60.

Like Girthang....got a lot done yesterday. Mowed the yard again and half of one of the fields. Field had grown so much during all the rain that mowing it last week was a mess....looks better now. Will this be the last mowing of the season? Shall see. Hope so.

Y'all have a good day.

No thanks Austin, I think we have enough cupcakes in this country as it is. What we need is more BEEF.
 
Not all woman are created equal. I had my share of misery too. I can tell you many many woman can be put on a pedestal and cherished.

I do agree woman can be some cold-hearted killers but not all and EVER is a long long time.

Some you might never suspect would be, however, can be.

Right up until the day she put the knife in his back, a friend's ex was the loving/doting bride and spoke glowingly of her husband on every front and to everyone. He worked 2 jobs so she could be the stay at home mom she wanted to be. After 25 years she started her affairs, stole money from their account, and buried HIM with debt and alimony payments. Christian woman who somehow thinks she's still one of God's children even after adultery, character assassination, and theft, none of which she's ever apologized for, corrected, or repaid.

All it can take sometimes is the unsolicited affection/flattery of a stranger to corrupt someone (though they have to already be deficient in self-image and certain moral values to consider and decide to commit such acts).

This woman played games with him before they were married and tho her husband didnt know, never stopped talking to the college bo who played games with her (wouldn't commit to her). There were signs, but they weren't easy for him to see.

As was well said earlier, serial cheaters rarely change enough to have a successful relationship with those they commit adultery.

On that bright note.... back to work for me.
 
In my ex-wife's case there were 4 of them so, she had a few to pick from. I thought three but one of my sons said: "No dad, there were 4". Oh well. Since then I use the positive side to that. It took 4 men to replace me.

They never can replace us. My first wife had 2, would have been 3 but 1 was after I stopped all physical interaction and kicked her out of the house. Tried to work things out because of the commitment before God, but abstained in the meantime. Found out all kinds of things about her after the separation that no one would tell me BEFORE we were married.

I booted everyone from my life that knew she was a cheater and refused to tell me beforehand, and continually booted people that were friends with her afterward knowing what she had done when we were together. People make all kinds of excuses for cheaters, maybe because they want to still have friends if they find the right person to cheat with themselves...

God protected me throughout it all, and He still does. I knew the hour she first cheated, and did my best to work through it. He kept her disposed to not take things to court where we lived back then, even tho she was house hunting with her boyfriend just before we finished the settlement. It still wasn't pleasant, but at least it's over and I don't have any lingering reminders of it. I ignored all of her attempts to woo me and contact me even years afterward. I moved on, moved away, and started over. Got a good wife and family now, all praise to God!

Kinda creepy that I'm in sync with the "National _ _ Day" calendar. We're making cupcakes for a friend's birthday tonight.
 
Good morning D-League

We have 63° and partly cloudy skies and this afternoon should reach a high of 74°.

Our governor was in the area yesterday at Weeki Wachee Springs to announce the state will be spending $481,000,000 to improve and protect water quality around the state. Of particular emphasis are the springs such as Weeki Wachee. This is state money, not a dime from the feds. This picture shows the mouth of the springs that form a river that flows to the Gulf. It is as clear as water can get

Good morning D-League. Tough night for the Cats. There were some things to build on, but it gets tough to keep putting off that moment when our patience is rewarded by winning performance.

But like most of the men here, I'm a father and a husband. Patience with things not quite being what I'd have them to be right now - and as a father especially, keeping the faith -- is what I do, and what I know you all do.

I'll echo 82 - RR is a gigantic embarrassment. I work with guys who are fans of Georgetown and Penn and Indiana and Syracuse and UNC-Cheats and Michigan State and Maryland and on and on. They all know about Rafters and dip in there to laugh at and make fun of Kentucky fans. I explain to them that at least half of the true idiots are Louisville or some other rival fans posting under a false flag. They don't see that on their fan sites because they aren't a big target.

I wish we had your Governor in charge of that boondoggle Infrastructure bill pass by Congress, Sawnee.

You were talking about the dolphin a week or so ago that had been maimed and was in a movie. Heard on the radio up here (can you believe that? must have been nat'l news) that it was really sick. Think they expected it to make it...but it was having problems.

Should have named that place "Clearwater" or something like that. Maybe "Clearwater Springs" even. I'm full of great ideas this morning

One reason, and a big one I think, RR is so big & so many outsiders check it out is that it's one of the few free sites around. I look at RR maybe 5X/yr. Never thought about till this, so may go take a look. Or not.
 
Good morning folks. Another sunny day but weather is supposed to move in tomorrow.

The refs helped Duke last night, but I don't know if they decided the game. I really get tired of Coach K ranting on them and nothing happens to Duke just some more questionable calls.

Yeah, Duke took 23 foul shots to Kentucky's 7. Big difference.
 
Not defending Duke or the refs (heaven forbid), but that is always one of our problems early in the season against good, more experienced teams. Every year we start out with 5, 6, 7 guys who have never played together so they struggle on defense. And being young, when they are out of position there is a lot of reaching and grabbing going on.
