D-League

[Sawnee Cat]

It is a pretty sunshining day. It was 59°F when I got up and now it is 63.1° and to top out at 76°F. Fall is on the way.

Well I watched the second half again last night, just for the hell of it. The defense was on a mission.

Kentucky is now Number 9 and 10 in the polls and Notre Dame actually fell out. ND went from number 5 to zip in two weeks! But would you believe that they still got votes.

Happy Monday.

I watched the replay yesterday afternoon and that defense was special. I was disappointed in the TV announcers but I guess years of bias and no respect for UK is hard to overcome.

I can not say enough about how awesome it was to win in the Swamp. That atmosphere is one of the best in college football. Beating them in Gainesville is special. Saturday was my third UK-FL game in Gainesville that I have seen a victory for our Cats. This may have been better than 1977 which has always been one of my favorite wins.

Having so many family members with me made it even more special.

Just heard that this was the first time ever that UK, UNC, Duke, and Kansas all won a true road game on the same day. All 4 are undefeated as well.

Wishing the D-LEAGUE good health and happiness. My family member has gone on to their rest now. Her fight is over. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes over the past few weeks.

Not to be nasty; however, Kentucky beat the number 12 team on the road.

North Carolina beat Georgia State
Duke beat Northwestern
Kansas beat West Virginia

Georgia State, Northwestern and West Virginia ain’t never won shit.

Big Difference.

I just thought it was amazing that the four winningest basketball programs of all time, all won true road football games for the first time ever on the same weekend. Regardless of the opponents each played, the fact it took this long is truly amazing imo.

Hello all,

You all seem busy busy for the most part. I am moving forward. I look forward to reading more later today. Truly sorry for losses of family.

Take care... God Bless you all...

Nephew got a letter from Harvard a few weeks ago. No surprise given his GPA/accomplishments. Duke (ugh) is also interested. This isn't a guarantee but they are showing an interest. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Not a fan of Ivy League brainwashing. I'd rather see him go to a place like Vanderbilt.

Nice to see the 7pm kickoff against Northern Illinois, as I'm not a fan of noon kickoffs.

My son aced a lot of exams. He was accepted to many schools, including Harvard and Yale. He chose Western Maryland (now McDaniel in Westminster, MD.) and it has paid off. But Harvard or Yale would have been better, but not a lot more expensive. Of course he graduated in 1989, so my information is out of date.

I am a failed chemistry major from Western Kentucky (Western means nothing in the world of academia). I then studied economics at Louisville, then North Florida and then at Johns Hopkins. I am a retard, but I made it in the world of business. There are a bunch of dudes who have degrees from Harvard and Yale who made less than me. I hate the Ivy League schools.

Plus my sister has a Ph.D. from Vandy and they are darned near as bad as the Ivy League.

In my view education is important, but IQ means more.

Edit: I am sorry for being such an ass, but smarts mean more than where you went to school.

The kid is highly intelligent. Didn't get it from me. I think he's more interested in smaller in-state colleges like Centre but that could change. I also question his career aspirations. Last year he wanted to be a dermatologist now it's fashion design. I know, I know. We don't have much in common in that respect. Not sure what that major would even be. To his credit, his designs have already garnered some interest from ??? I don't even know what they call them. Fashion design companies?

My daughter graduated from Murray State with an OSHA degree.. Murray isn't much as colleges go, but they have an OSHA program that (when she graduated-don't know about now) was considered the #2 OSHA program in the United States (can't recall #1-maybe Penn State). She was president of the Honor Society. All the insurance companies were dying for OSHA people and she had her pick of numerous really good jobs, chose one in the Tampa area.

She picked her career wisely.

 

[berniecarbo]

She picked her career wisely.

She was on a jury a few years ago. Lawsuit between a couple and a bank concerning the way something was built and OSHA regs. The first poll of the jury was 11 to 1 for the bank. She explained to the jury that she worked in OSHA and explained what was done and what the OSHA regs were. The second vote was 12 to 0 for the couple. Lawyers on neither side was smart enough to actually study the regs or to get an expert. I often wondered if the couple knew how lucky they were to win by having an expert on the jury.

I edited the Florida game and Sherry and I watched it again. Greg McElroy and Joe Tessitory could not have been more biased than they were. If Florida was doing something good their voices would elevate to a higher pitch. When Kentucky did something good it was down graded.

When you live in Sales and Marketing you pick up on intonation. Those two were as biased as hell. Of course this opinion is from a very biased old Kentucky fan.

I love Kentucky being in the top ten. I hope and pray that they can stay there. This is rare territory for Kentucky football. Stoops for President.

Absolutely. Noticed this same thing in the ABC News broadcasts on WLAP. HUGE difference in how they reported the news depending on the political slant over the last 7 years

Sir,

I'm 'wit ya".... I have some paper but unless asked I never bring it up. My Dad had a hard life and a 6th grade education. I always listened to my parents. I didn't do everything they stated but I listened. The thing that stuck with me and still does is...what my Dad told me in my pre-teen years..."Be smarter than what you are working on." That's in a nutshell what I try doing in any interactions. (Mostly work but in life in general.) I am thankful...(Not sure what my IQ is but my effort is off the charts..)

Sir, I am Army through and through! That's a GREAT Locomotive!!!

OT:

I read today where John Wayne turned down the Dirty Harry series before Clint was offered the roll. Me espousing most everything John Wayne stood for and also the love of most of his near 200 hundred movies has me stating as positively as I can state, John would not have made of Dirty Harry what Clint made of those movies. I did like McQ and Brannigan but in that roll Clint knocked it out of the stadium.... (That stated, I'd have watched them if John did them.) (I have all the Dirty Harry series. Good flicks...)

I mean, I have to have some scruples about it.

Have a great what's left of your nights....

Good morning D-League. It's a cool, crisp morning here in Eastern Kentucky with a current temperature of 57° and partly cloudy skies. This afternoon will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 75°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Congrats to him on his hard work and dedication to academics. Selecting a university is difficult today and it is almost impossible to find a non WOKE school to attend. To not be influenced you have to have strong character and focus on the values you were taught at home and in the church you attended. It is not easy. My wife was dead set against my granddaughter attending the USAFA because they are as woke as any of them but she is coming around now because my granddaughter is grounded in the faith and keeps away from the "weeds of academia". So we pray and have faith in them as they go from youngsters to young men and women.

The best to your nephew as he makes important decisions on his future in academics.

Morning Legionnaires!

63° right now with a high of 94° expected. Going to Lowes today to get replacement wood for my privacy fence. Some pickets and 2x4 rails beginning to weaken and split. The monster is strong, and they are beginning to give when she fence fights with the neighbors' dogs who are let out every day to roam. They have been letting them out for years. The dogs will act tough when there is a fence but one day about 4 years ago, I was out front (no fence) with our older dog (pictured below) and they ran up barking and growling at me and she tagged one of them running them back to their house. She is getting too old for that now, but the monster will take the protector roll and even though she is friendly as can be, she has shown she will bow up when other dogs come up aggressively. It is in her nature as a protector slash guard dog being a Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix.

She thinks she is a lap dog.

Good morning folks.

I’m back on the subway for the first time in a couple weeks —our office had a two-week hiatus. I’d forgotten how much I disliked this commute.

But we’re having a free Barbeque today at the offices, so that’s something.

I’m listening to a podcast on the US incursion in the Philippines as part of the Spanish-American War. I’m sure some of you passed through there during your military careers. I’ve never been. But it’s pretty clear we failed to learn a lot of lessons there in the early 20th Century that would have been useful in Vietnam and elsewhere.

Hope it’s a good day.

I got them on Cats Illustrated and the National board. I once got in but could not post or like or anything.

I assume it was a Rivals problem not ours.

Good morning folks. It is a cool, clear 59.2°F. It was 55° earlier and we are supposed to only get to 79°. I will take it.

On the subject of colleges and the new woke shit, got me thinking. I started college in 1964 and even then in Kentucky my professors were quite liberal, especially in the arts and even history. I can't imagine what it would be like today. Of course I was sort of disconnected from it all then as I was more interested in girls than most things. Over the ten years from 18 to 28 I became quite a lot more conservative. Also times changed. Now I am a right wing nut job. But if John F. Kennedy came back to life he would be considered a right wing republican.

Both of my kids were far more conservative than me early on and now they are very conservative.

[BBUK]

Hello all,

I hope your day is on track to be great. I got an I-Phone today. My first. Haven't played with it at all yet. (Not mine, just issued.)

Been inundated with new meet and greets. Scary that I still feel good. (I started a new job.)(Back where I belong...) I am thankful...

I am working from home tomorrow as a change of pace. (I will spell others during the first two and last two days of the weeks....)

We shall see how it goes but so far, it goes well...
