A little tough love never hurt anyone.😉
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Sherry and I were at the 1977 game in Gainesville.Kentucky wins in the Swamp, 26-16. First time with two consecutive victories over the Gators since 1976-77.
I will have fun editing that game and the post game coverage tomorrow morning.
I did not think the Cats could pull it off, but looking back on the game they should have won by more.

Bert, I can't remember, but had NCAA post-season sanctions already kicked in back then under Fran Curci, and were y'all aware of it while you attended the game?
I'm glad you were wrong too. 😁
I did not have a good feeling going in but, I did pick UK in the UK-UF prediction thread and picked UK in the stupid underdog pick thread so...Just lucky I guess. Could not bring myself to pick against them with the gators.
I did not know anything about the sanctions at the time. That was even before the Cats Pause.
The railroad moved our department to Florida in August of 1976. So by 1977 we had started a "Wildcat" Club and we rented two greyhound type buses to go to the game that year. We got our tickets through UK.
Bottom line we all had a great weekend.
WTG Cats..Hope all in the D enjoyed the game!
Now, we know the defense was the reason we won tonight but, you have to admit, without Levis we are not in position to win this game either. Once we get C-Rod back our offense will be better.
IF we get C-Rod back. Still not certain that will happen, This hush-hush crap is driving me crazy.
Nah. I’m acting like it’s no big deal. Doesn’t Kentucky always win in Gainesville? Seems like it lately. So routine, hard to get too excited…Believe me, that chaps the Gator fans more…
Man, I hope so. Wright did ok in the second half. Smoke is only effective if the Oline can open a hole and he can get going.
First things first, the defense looks stellar. We have 2 non-SEC opponents coming up to work on some things (looking at you OL). Hopefully we get C-Rod back in one of those games, so he can get some reps in before SEC play.
Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scott's. Tal Wilkenfeld on the bass. Just a baby at the time. I can't believe the guy is 78. My how time flies.
You talking cis or trans?
Levis is as tough as they come. Took some bad hits and got right back up.
Good morning folks.
Still buzzing about the Cats beating the Gators.
What a day of football! ND is my “Louisville or UNC-Cheats” in football, the team I always root against, and they lost. Appy State pulled a great upset. Bama pushed to the last minute. And on and on.
Now the NFL kicks off. Can the Bengals possibly top last year?

I doubt he'd be hanging around if it isn't WHEN.
I don't think he knows either. My concern is that the NCAA is involved and if that's the case they're know to drag their feet.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 67° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring rain and a high of 81°.
Great win by the Cats last night. I wonder if the Cats get the same love in the upcoming rankings as Florida did last week, I doubt it.
Everyone stay safe on this Sunday.

Who knows what anyone knows. Just a guess. My guess is UK knows.
It is 71.1°F, cloudy (80% chance of rain) and 77° is the high. It has sprinkled a little rain so far.
I am still high on last night's game. That second half was mostly Kentucky.
Enjoy you Sunday folks.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and mostly cloudy. Today's high expected around 94°F. No rain in our forecast for at least the week.
Awesome win last night. Agree with Bert. From the time Gators awarded that safety, UK scored 19 straight and unanswered points. Great poise in a hostile environment. Cats play 3 more road games this season (Ole Miss, Missouri, UT). All look winnable.
Usual shopping and chores on agenda today. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
In memory of 9/11....

Arrest him... (Yeah, I cherry-picked my information Sir.) 😁 I'd never take you out of context... Nooo...
I work with a man who stated (Thursday when I was at the tailgate party) to me he was in the Pentagon next to a man who was killed by the attack, this man had serious injuries. Sobering to me even as I am surrounded by survivors of that act of war.
God Bless America...

Remembering the Pentagon victims of 9/11 who sometimes get overlooked.
I’ve mentioned before I was there that day. Saw many things I’ll never forget. Also knew one on the passengers who was on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon - a smart and lovely woman named Barbara Olson who was a Congressional lawyer and wife of Bush solicitor general Ted Olson.

Have B&W photo of TT's hanging in my home office area. The Lady is in the foreground.
NKy 911 Memorial below in Crescent Springs at corner of Buttermilk Pike and Collins Road. Base is a pentagon with words for each site that was attacked. Brown steel is a beam from a tower. The towers shown are about 10' tall. Member of FDNY attended dedication in 2015. Our home is about 1/3 mile away 20 degrees to right of straight on. Walked by it earlier this a.m. and just drove past it.
I found a picture the BB made of a picture took of the inside of our home...
The BB loves playing with the phone at times but he just likes playing. He and his Mom get back from SA tomorrow.

Well, the NFL season has begun. Three plays so far in the Washington “Commanders” -Jaguars game, three penalty flags.
I think I’ll find a Gunsmoke rerun and check the game on commercial breaks.

Cats move to #9 in the AP poll. Huge jump.
To the Bengals faithful:
Had a chance to win it at the end of regulation with an extra point attempt and had it blocked. Had a chance to win it in the overtime period and badly missed a 29-yard field goal attempt. Steelers kicker missed the next one and the Bengals were in range again but went for more yardage and Burrows fumbled himself out of field goal range. Steelers got within a 53-yard field goal attempt range with 5 seconds left and made it look easy that time. Burrows was sacked 6 times and was intercepted 2 or 3 times. The new Oline is supposed to be better than last years but...

^ 4 INT's helped a lot. Game was pretty funny actually.
I figured they would have us right outside the top 10. Nice to be wrong for a change.
