Good Tuesday morning D-League.

We have lots of sunshine this morning, clear skies and a temperature of 51° . The high may get up to 62° if we are lucky. It will be breezy and we have a small craft advisory out in the Gulf. Humidity is dropping by the hour and will be about 39% by 3:00 PM. That is very pleasant for us.

Not much going on today other than my annual doctor's appointment. I have a good relationship with him as he is more of a traditional country doctor and speaks English.

I am listening to the radio and the state is going to eliminate the state taxes at the gasoline pump. Gas is as high as it was when Obama was president and removing the state taxes for awhile will help. Thanks Gov

Trust all had a good night's rest and a good day is ahead. I plead guilty, I only wear short britches except to church

Morning Legionnaires!

Low 70's on tap for today and for the next week or so. Only cooler day is suppose to be this Thursday (thank God). I like the colder days when it is holiday time.

Last nights game shows me again that we need another big for when Oscar gets into foul trouble. When we start playing the higher talented teams it will get rough for us. As for next year it looks to be more of the same. We are guard heavy with only a 6'7" player being the biggest we have so far. Let's hope that Cal somehow can find us a couple of serviceable big men.

A very good friend of mine never wore a pair of long britches after he retired from the Army.....no matter where you ran into him he had his army green shorts, green army socks, a pair of work boots......that were never laced and a button down collar, long sleeve, light blue Van Huesen dress shirt..............he was the most intelligent person I have ever known......

Cold morning in Smiths Grove. It is 22.6°F and frosty on our way to 46°.

I enjoyed the game last night. I still don't like to have to use ESPN+. I am a grumpy old man.
Is that 22.6°F as in really 22.6°? That is cold I don't care who you are. Put another log on the fire and get out the Reserve and just relax.

Good morning! According to Alexa it is 24° here right now. That's 5 degrees lower than it was supposed to have been all night. That's OK though, I'm way sure that they are accurate with their long range projections for global warming to the tenth of a degree.

I was watching the game last night and about halfway through the first half I told my wife, "this is some boring shit right here". She thought, because she's a female born and bred, that I was talking about the me and her dynamic was boring.

I said "no, this ball game is about as boring as they get". And since she gave me the ally oop I told her that "the word you're looking for is TEDIOUS."
 
Good morning from Shawanee, TN. Currently 25°F and clear. Sunny and crisp. Today's high could reach 42°F.

Steamed last little bit of game on my phone last night, but got frustrated with quality. Went back to radio. Tom Leach and Mike Pratt paint a great picture. Sure miss Cawood though after all these years.

Staying with relative. He's remodeling his kitchen. No sink. Plan on grocery shopping either tonight or early tomorrow morning. Visited daughter yesterday. Get to see granddaughter this afternoon.

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

No, sorry, not this trip. Returning to Nolin Lake area this coming Saturday. Plan on watching football game with cuz. He's a big UL fan. Ha ha, should be fun. Leaving Sunday morning for TX.
Is he the reason we ate across from the Yum Bucket? Speaking of hot browns, I was talking to Don yesterday and he suggested I make hot browns out of some of the turkey breast I'm cooking for Thanksgiving. Either that night or the next morning I'll be making my first hot brown ever. Should be good since they're so simple.
 
Good morning D-League. Good to see you all cooking along.

I'm back from a very enjoyable blitz trip to Kentucky - left Saturday morning, drove back Monday.

I was happy and grateful to see all of my family flourishing as well or better than expected from my 90-86 year old parents to my five siblings to all three of my children to my two grand kids. I give thanks for the fact that in my mid-60s all of my family is intact and healthy.

Settling in to do a lot of work before Thursday, then a relatively modest T-Day with my wife and one daughter and her parents. It feels like I had the Big Family Moment, so that'll be fine. I hope all is well with you all.

Yes, that's him. He's originally from Perry County, but lived in Louisville area for roughly 35 years.

Don still having problems connecting? I've not yet spoken with him since back this way.

Yes he's still having problems. He's making the adjustment from Apple computers to Microsoft for one thing. His other problem was he couldn't sign in with his old name and information. It would only let him come back as a new member.

I'm going to call and walk him through but we'll need some assistance from Jerry or John to get him his old name and stats back. I told him that once we get on there we can set his default page to the D league so each time he turns on his computer it will start with the D. We can do that, right?
 
Last night on the post game Matt was alluding to Stoops going to LSU. He's just mentioned it again and just said that things will move fast after the Louisville game. He claims that his source tells him lots of things about LSU.

As we discussed yesterday, I just can't see him leaving the best deal any coach has in America. Win 7 games and get another 5 million.

Yes, you should be able to set his home page as the D-League.

If he goes to LSU, he'll be gone in 2 years max.

He'll lose all the shiny pieces off what they have left if he goes there. Prolly have a lot of players want to come here for whoever we get.

I can't picture him going because I just can't rationalize it. Mark Stoops has the same chance to win a National Championship at Kentucky as he does at LSU. We're talking loonngg shot odds here at either place in the near future unless he can talk Saban into being an assistant. It might be a fun fantasy for him but what he has here is real and spectacular.

Coaching in the SEC East would definitely be easier than the West.

I just don't buy what Jones is selling. Stoops will have to change his coaching philosophy. No more playing down to your opposition, no more trying to run out the clock at the start of the second half with a 17 point lead.

I still think this is all agent driven to get Stoops a better contract that he already has or a new training facility and $1 million minimum for each assistant.

I would think Dave Aranda has as good a resume as Stoops and is under consideration. LSU may be in competition with USC for him though. Kiffen and Lincoln Riley also have interest from LSU.

If I am wrong and Stoops bales and takes his crew out of Lexington it is going to be more difficult to replace him because so many premier jobs are open. USC, UF, LSU are just a few

Yet another reason it doesn't make any sense. See below.

I think you're right about agent angle. Matt also mentioned that last night in regards to the training facility. Evidently there are some bad feelings about that between Stoops and Barnhartt.

If they announce a new facility right after the Louisville game...we still won't know the whole story.
 
I had my annual physical today and the results were good. I am operating good on the one kidney and the doc was amazed at my recovery from spine surgery.

I thought it nice that the doctor was not wearing a mask and he is no fan of Fauci. The last time I saw him he said he may give up practicing medicine because of all of the red tape and government influence. He owns two cattle ranches so he is not in need of money. The one in Georgia has about 150 acres set aside for a hunt club. He makes as much from the hunt club as he does practicing medicine.

I requested he hang around until I am in the history books and finalized.

Hello my friend.

You have been missed.

I am sorry that I took a lot of Bertfan and Austin's time. But they are my friends and I am very selfish of their time and I would not willingly give it up to you. :)

Good to have you back, after all this is your thread. The best thread in the business.

If Don had just called one of his grand or great-grandkids over to look at his computer the first day, he would not have been off more than a day or so.
