Thank you, @BBUK
Things are good here, but a relative has just gone through a 2nd round of chemo and getting beat up by it. Just drive 16+ hrs for a brief visit in case we didn't get another chance, and only one of us was able to see them. Don't know how I feel about any of it just yet.
Thankful for the visit
Wow, these Cats looked great. Nice 50 point W. Looking forward to tomorrow night's game.
Impressive! Collins was a human highlight reel. Thiero is a nice surprise. Reeves has a great touch. Granted the competition isn't that great but who cares. I wasn't expecting much for an August exhibition game but I was wrong.
The real problem for America is that the only people left in positions of power and service in this country will be people that hate this country and the people that aren't as indoctrinated as they are. We're talking about an "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" level catastrophe is taking place.
Glad the Cats are off to a fast start. Didn’t get to see much of it because I had to work late but the consensus is Thiero, Collins and Livingston were impressive. Not bad for guys projected to be the 6th, 9th and 11th men.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and clear. May get some rain this afternoon. Today's high predicted around 97°F.
Enjoyed the heck out of last night's game. Let's kick more butt tonight.
Doggone cable is down. Using phone hotspot to connect.
Heading into the office. Trying to leave by 6:30 am. Keeping it short.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning folks.
Was up early so a skipped my walk today and watched the second half of the Cats game on ESPN. A little ragged but lots to like. A deep, athletic, talented team. As I understand it, the competition is a little tougher today so maybe we’ll learn more.
Heading to work. Hope it is a good day for all.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of a 83° .
Everyone stay safe on this Thursday.

I really enjoyed the game last night. Saw some stuff that I did not expect to see in August.
It is overcast and 75.9°F. We are supposed to get to 85° and only 10% change of rain. We got .73" yesterday, so the corn crops around here are going to make a lot of corn. The late beans are kicking butt also.
The guys are out cleaning up the downed limb. They are two guys that do odd jobs for me occasionally and I had not seen them for over a year so the first hour was spent talking and catching up.
You all enjoy your Friday eve.

Good Late Morning all, (I do hope you are well.)
Been to the swamp and back this morning. I don't miss it. (But I love the architecture!) Should be my last trip for at least a long while. Drinking coffee and planning to go out with My Darling in an hour or so to Fort Belvoir. This day was earned, not given. Tomorrow is my regular day off.... Have a great day.
(I was able to watch most of the game yesterday. I can get excited about this team. That 360 was just amazing and I think it was done specifically for the crowd of the BBN in attendance. (Just seemed that way to me from the expression on his face afterward.) I don't remember seeing that in a game before. (I know an exhibition but those either.)
Will try typing more later...

Another memory of my hoops days. My coach called me Blue Bayou.
As in, "Dammit, your man just Blue Bayou again!"
OK, I won't say our hotel room had a view of it from across the Danube.Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of a 83° .

You are wrong. That was our tenant house down by the creek!
Hello,
Never made it to Fort Belvoir... Went to a couple grocery stores instead and picked up the BB.
My Darling made this for me just yesterday: (I am an over-easy egg man but in this case when you stir up the egg into the Black Bean sauce and noodles...Yes...)
Some other meals within the last ten days or so...
Slightly spicy but not too much...
A squash pancake...

Sounds like the Cats have a cake-walk ahead of them tonight. And Cal is forecasting some intriguing line-up variations to take advantage of it. Apparently he's going to run out two 5-man platoons in the first half, then shuffle the deck and run two different configurations in the second half. Sounds like a good receipe for building cohesion and comradeship. Who cares if they win by 20 or 60? Just stay healthy guys.
What a luxury for a coach to have and to think, Onyenso isn't even in the equation yet.
Very true, 82. I think Kingsley Onyenso may be mostly a practice player this year unless, god forbid, something happens to Oscar. Ware looked very good last night and is a capable substitute center. Certainly, UKO is a very valuable insurance policy.
I know some are worried that the kid will practice for a year then bolt, but I believe there is very little chance of that. He's as different from Shaedon Sharpe as he could possibly be in almost every respect.
We'll see how it plays out but if UKO gets better for a year practicing against the NPOY and moves into the rotation next year, I'll be fine with that.

I think UKO will get some playing time this year. He's raw on offense, mainly a defense guy right now. A true rim protector. No way in hell is he NBA ready. Should get at least a few years out of the big man.
I guess I'm a sentimental old fool, but the Field of Dreams Game pre-game show got to me bigtime. Dad & I tossed a lot & long distance too. Go Reds !!
I know it's too early. Christ it's only August and a lot of these guys haven't played together very long. Weak competition, sure, BUT damn these guys are good!. Cautiously optimistic though.
53-21, Cats. Flow seems different in this game. They get back quickly on D. Looking good.
Go Cats!
Go Cats!
Meanwhile, the Reds are playing the Field of Dreams game now —badly, but it is still a fun game to watch - switching back and forth to the Cats.
I woke up last night to an eerie voice: “If they play it, Reds will lose.” You can’t ignore those ghostly voices. They are rarely wrong.

Good interview with CJ. Love his candid approach. Glue guy.
Nice blow out. Have fun tomorrow. Come back and whoop up on the Canucks.

Lodolo got screwed in 1 inning when they didn't call a 3rd strike on the pitch batter was hit. He & Reds have been out of the inning with that. End of bat was point to 2B man. But no, 3-0.
Best game the Cats have played this season!
I'm clearly a football first person, but JC saying UK is a hoops school disgusts me to no end. Get his as$ out of there. Him staying in Bahamas for the rest of his life would suit me.
< - - - Pulled hard for the Reds in '90. Returned home on leave and all my Ohio relatives wore Reds sweats when they came down for a visit. Ha ha. Loved it. Height of the Marge Schott era.
But, sorry, I've been Braves fan since '69.
I’ve been a Reds fan since 1962. The only time the Reds won it all since the Big Red Machine days when I was a teenager was 1990- and I was in Baghdad the entire series, with a blackout by Saddam of all incoming communications. Never saw an inning and didn’t even know the Reds had won for a couple weeks after. How’s that for luck?

A shout out to Wheeler. For a lot of the Rafters crowd he’s a whipping boy. But he’s a unique talent in the college ranks in terms of speed and ability to find the right teammate at the right time and place.
14pts 10 assists 1 turnover tonight.

In on about 40 points?
I hate to say it but I agree with you. Should not have been said by Cal. I don't agree however that he needs to leave.
Wow! If I remember correctly, we received deployment orders around Thanksgiving or thereabouts back in 1990. I remember watching final game on AFN very early morning Central European Time in October?. Can't forget Chris Sabo: "We beat 'em fair and square".
What a cluster f*ck loading up all those tracks on ships out of Bremerhaven back then. Ah, good old days...........
