You make me sick MdW. 20k before breakfast. Chump...

It's just once a week, BBUK. And if it cheers you up I'll admit to being very, very slow.

One more Ian Tyson song as we wait for football. Most of us by this point in our lives have been both the "young man" and the father who ain't got a good word to say about the young man coming after his daughter.

Judy Collins version was great, but this Suzy Bogguss version has become my preferred.

Trouble with these noon games is I can't drink this early to calm my nerves.

Yes you can, just take a few shots of whatever makes you happy and relax.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Well won’t make any difference to me now. Dish not showing game because Disney wants more money in the new contract. 🤬🤬🤬

Are you serious Dish is not showing ESPN on the day we play as an undefeated team against an undefeated team?

 

[warrior-cat]

It's game day!

On the subject of bratwurst, I was more into the Rindswurst mit senf. Much better taste I thought.

On a lighter note, my weight loss continues. Starting in August at 220lbs by Sept. 1st I was at 213lbs. Now Oct 1st I am at 209lbs. Did not lose as much as the month of August but, I will take a loss over a gain.

Add a fishing report from last night and we are caught up:

Hooked 2 landed one. The one I landed was less than a pound. The one that got away was about 3ft long slender and goes by the name of Jake No Shoulders. I was running my plastic worm weedless over the top of the water grass when Jake come out of nowhere and struck. I almost had him in when he jumped off and got away.

I really got into Johnny Cash's music in my 20s...I remember a musician saying if Cash covers your song it's not your song anymore, it becomes a Cash song. Nine Inch Nails did the song 'Hurt' and their version sucks, towards the end of his life Johnny Cash did it and it was one of my favorite songs ever.

I was introduced to Johnny Cash in late 1955. I was 12 years old. I started saving nickels and dimes and quarters and buying every record he released. I still have every one of them in mint condition. If Johnny Cash recorded it, I bought it.

He can sing about any genre out there but he is the best at telling a story. One of my favorite stories is about loading coal in Kentucky. I can't listen to this song without thinking of my grandpa. You were not a man if you didn't work in those coal mines, so said grandpa.

You know, there are people with maybe a better singing voice than Cash...but they will never be Johnny Cash. His songs had meaning and purpose and soul...whether it was a song or him being interviewed I always stopped and listened. I'm younger than many here and I'm actually not a guy into a lot of older music, but Johnny Cash was different. I love pretty much every song he ever did.

I met Johnny Cash once in the Atlanta airport. He and his wife were coming out of the VIP lounge to load the plane last. The wife and I were trying to load three young kids so we wound up behind Johnny and June. Johnny was friendly, but his wife was a real chatter box (in a positive way).

My Grandpa gave me a carbide lamp when I was still pre-teen. It is one thing I remember that I wish I had been able to keep. I loved sparking that lamp and the pop it brought when you lit it. All it took to keep that lamp going was some carbide and spit. I had my can of carbide and plenty of spit. Just an enjoyable memory. Just wish I could remember where I left it. I think I left it at my brother Jim's house when I entered the Army as he liked those type things. He's gone now and I know his relatives have taken most of his collection and turned it into dough.

He was a man's man but kind too. My BIL but he has been my brother since I was around 10.

He was an artist's artist and I watched him for hours drawing trying my best but all I could even draw was files but I learned to bathe better...

He had insulator's from electric poles, weather veins from barn roofs, and collectables he'd go to people's homes and offer to work to get the things he liked. People were so receptive to him. This is him in his time in Vietnam...


Jim Riddle... He was one of the good ones!

That is really cool, only famous person I ever met at an airport was Crispin Glover from Back to the Future when I went to LA...he was dressed all Goth (this would have been around 2002 or 2003) and his woman was too, seemed like a real weirdo. Your famous airport meeting was way better than mine haha.

 

[UK82]

I'm a little nervous about today's game. I have no idea what to expect out of Ole Miss.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Recording game and all I’m going to get is the Dish spokesman talking about how they’re getting screwed over by Disney. 😂

I saw Soupy Sales in the Charlotte North Carolina airport when I was in the Army and drove up there to meet my brother. That was a long two days... (A story for another time..)

 

[BBUK]

Come on CATS! Let me watch this game!!! Win it!

 

[BBUK]

I am turning it off now and watching the score! Sigh.. The Cats will win but I don't. (That's okay...)

 

[BBUK]

I am still watching, hoping.. The punt was while I turned it off.

 

[UK82]

That was way too easy.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Missed FG. Bah! Hope Jones is okay.

Go Cats!

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Smoke dropping that screen pass was a killer, that play was easily going to get 8-10 yards maybe even more...we had an OL who destroyed someone on that play. I have zero confidence in our kicking game right now (FG or punting)...missed kicks, bad snaps...you got to make that FG in a game like this.

If anyone is unable to watch the game, try this link:

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Damn!!! Cats need to get it together.

 

[warrior-cat]

Not looking good on defense right now.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Brown with the HUGE return.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Our defense is getting destroyed right now, hell the only time we stopped them was because of that false start that made them punt. Not a good sign when you let them have big plays like that, you gotta make them work for it.

As I'm writing this...what a Kickoff return...that is exactly what we needed!

 

[_Rooster]

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Touchdown KENTUCKY!!!

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Gawd our kicking game is awful

 

[warrior-cat]

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Damn. Is this going to be one of those days when the kicker keeps you chasing lost points all day?

 

[UK82]

I hope that missed extra point doesn't come back to haunt.

 

[warrior-cat]

DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Whew. Sweating out that flag, thought sure the zebras were going to screw the Cats.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Whew. Sweating out that flag, thought sure the zebras were going to screw the Cats.

Especially after the receiver dropped that pass.

 

[UK82]

Fair catch the damn ball!

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Whew. Sweating out that flag, thought sure the zebras were going to screw the Cats.

Years of the zebras hating us...has made us all paranoid...I assume every flag thrown is against us until I hear the ruling.

 

[UK82]

Levis is getting no protection.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Levis should have gotten rid of it sooner. Got to know where you're at on the field.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

If our kicking game wasn't garbage this game should be 16-10 right now, but regardless are OL is getting whipped. That is what we were all worried about.
