D-League

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.

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

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

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.

Hey buddy! So glad to see you finally get back. Seems like it's been longer than it has been.

Speaking of has been...where has Ben been?

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.

Good afternoon D-League!

On a brief vaca. Hope y'all have an incredible Thanksgiving, giving thanks for all God's given us! May He be with you and your families this week as you go to and fro

This is a good post. Today is my daughter's anniversary. Here she is today with her man. He was her high school sweetheart.

This is as true as true can be. I would be dead in the water if I could not call my grandkids for tech support.

One big damn turkey.

 

[UK82]

I find this hard to believe, Ripley's stuff:

"The heaviest turkey ever recorded was living large at 86 pounds for a stag named Tyson. The giant gobbler was reared by Philip Cook of Leacroft Turkeys Ltd, in Peterborough, United Kingdom, and won the “Heaviest Turkey” competition in London in 1989. It has held the record ever since."

Good evening from Tri-state. We're already at freezing. Tis chilly out. Went grocery shopping today. $200 for Thanksgiving dinner so far. I'm not complaining. Family time together = invaluable.

Drinking a Guinness Nitro Stout. Life is good.

Welcome Back Don. Good to have your back.

Below is my 8 month old Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees mix. Still a puppy and growing like a weed. Pictures taken today.

He (or she) has you trained. Great looking dog!

Anyone here remember Cas Walker? He was a colorful character who had a chain of supermarkets in East Tennessee/SE Ky back in the day. He had a popular TV program on out of Knoxville and Dolly Parton got her start on his show. Here he tells how he is going to handle thieves that come to his stores. It's a riot.

View embedded media

We discussed Cas Walker again today. Apparently my ex-wife's grandma knew him from WAY back in the day. Her, her husband and my former brother in-law drove down from Shawanee to one of his Knoxville stores once a month or so just to visit him and shop there. She'd call him before her visit. Heh, Former bro in-law told me his grandma would say, "there's my old boyfriend".

Apparently, old Cas was still a popular write-in candidate for Knoxville mayor until the mid 2000s. Ha ha.

Got a wild hair this afternoon and baked up a couple loaves of bread. Hope to do more baking this season.

Bert, Cas Walker knew how to deal with opposition in City Council meetings.

She. Anatolia or Ana for short as my wife calls her. I just call her the monster. According to experts, they stop growing at around a year and a half. She will get bigger.

Zags over UCLA 33-12. Fine by me.

Supper or Dinner? I pissed a guy off here once when I ask what he was having for lunch. "We don't eat lunch here, it's called dinner" I said: "That's what I eat at night. He said that was wrong and that is called supper. Dinner is the midday meal. He really got mad at me for telling him that supper and dinner were one and the same.

Clumper

We took a lot of time for Dinner. My dad would also take a nap before going back out. He said he avoided the hottest time of the day.

Smart

Regardless of what you think of Stoops you have to, at the very least, think he hasn't lost his damn mind.

Sometimes I wonder.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 24° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 53°.

Everyone stay safe on this Wednesday.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Day Before Thanksgiving morning D-League.

"If I ever needed a cup of coffee before, I sure do need it now"

We have a crisp 42° with clear skies down here in Dixie Land. We will warm up to a blistering 69°. The skies will be sunny and humidity low. Not a bad day. I still have not turned on the heat in the house and it is a comfortable in the low 70's. We never turn it on before January and even then the house is insulated so good most afternoons we do not need it. With the cost of fuel around the country I am thankful.

A little bad news to report. Nancy Pelosi has bought a house ( a $25 million dollar mansion) in Jupiter and plans on retiring to Florida after she destroyed California. She bashes us on the House floor and then is ready to move down here. What a hypocrite.

She wants to retire in Florida to enjoy low taxes, mask free hair salons, and Republican freedom policies, while literally destroying all these good things for the American people.

What a way to mess up Thanksgiving.

With her mug you would think wearing mask would be something she would want to do forever.

Wake up Legionnaires! It's time to roll out of them racks and form up for chow!

Just had to do it folks. Nothing more except enjoy yourselves the next few days.
Everyone except me and the cats are still down for the count at this time and they are chasing each other around the place.

God Bless you all over this holiday and if you are traveling stay safe. The nation needs people like you D leaguers.

It was a happy day until we found out Nancy Pelosi is moving down here to retire. I think when O.J. Simpson moved here from California he was more welcome than Nancy will be. What a hypocrite she is.

Jupiter is quite a distance from me so I guess I can be happy about that.

I wish we could actually send her to Jupiter. Put her in some type of sleep module and wake her up after landing on Jupiter with just a day's supply of food and no make up with all of the inner walls mirrored. Heh, heh, heh, She would die of fright.
