D-League

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F and sunny. Today's high expected around 89°F. No rain forecast for at least the next 7 days.

What an awful game last night. Cats could not execute. Aside from all the sacks surrendered, injuries piled up. Many things need to be fixed. Now I'm hoping Cats finish at least 6-6 or 7-5.

Chores and grocery shopping on today's agenda.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Hello all,

Darn..,

Too cold for our trip but we wanted to. I took the clues from My Darling but I would have... At least all is cleaned up well.

Plenty to do here once we get back. Have a great day.

Onward to Mississippi State. Oh the life of a UK football fan.

On the brighter side of the news. A national record was broken for heaviest pumpkin. 2,554 pounds.

From a beer joint in Stephenville, TX not far from Tarleton State U:

Heh.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Well, so much for that special season. Can't blame Sheron. O-line as usual was abysmal. C-Rod can only do so much. No way this team beats UT or UGA even with Levis. 7, 8 maybe 9 win season. Sorry to be so negative.

It is called being honest. I had hopes for last night but it was vain.

It was a cold 33°F when I got up with a heavy frost. We are supposed to get to 67°F today.

I think I read they X-Rayed that record-setting pumpkin and there were lead balls inserted inside through a cleverly concealed plug.

Really? I read a few articles but it wasn't mentioned. The world record was set last year in Italy. Over 2,700 pounds. Wonder what the selling price would be? Is it valuable or just a big pumpkin? Can't imagine it lasting very long either.

It is probably not edible.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Well at the least in the Coaches polls UK is still in the rankings at 22.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

GEEZE.

And the two also rans that will join the SEC, OKLA and TX, only Texas is in the top 25 and they killed OKLA.

GEEZE again.

 

[BBUK]

A few good Ole boys in Beans Fork could get on a drunk and eat it. Seen those brothers go on a souse meat binge. The way they ate that they'd surely devour an over-sized pumpkin. (Had a souse meat sandwich or two myself but those Ole boys got down right disgusting.. (EWD)(Eating While Drunk)... (I hear'em now...break up an egg and throw it in...I'll sop it up with a biscuit...)

 

[BBUK]

My Darling and I just got back from the markets... we have a "few" apples. I had plenty already. McIntosh, Red Delicious, some ole green apple the BB likes, another kind, and some Korean Pears... That is all we bought but probably about 15 or so pounds worth all together... Whew.... (But, they were fresh and the new season types...)

 

[BBUK]

OT: Did any of you down Middlesboro way know a Apple Adkins? (That's what they called him... "Apple"...) I recall him working for the Middlesboro fire department.

Nah, I was just making a joke about the long thread on the cheating in fishing tourneys. You can’t trust anyone today…

I should have used a wink 😜 emoji

On fishing: I once caught a 10 pound minnow.

. . . . and I did not cheat . . . !

I caught it quickly. Cheat in a darned fishing tournament. What next...

Now I'll have to read that thread. Sounds interesting.

Probably right Bert.

 

[warrior-cat]

No, just start drinking out of that hole until the cat collapses.

Oh yeah. Quite a scandal. Guys winning $30,000 prizes by jamming lead weights down the gullets of, I think, Walleyes. Lots of appropriate outrage.

Which is why I laughed at your giant pumpkin response. Imagine how many weights would have had to have been stuck in there to get that weight.

I don't follow WKU football, but the starter today at QB for the New England Pats played for Western Kentucky.

Exactly. You got the joke. Lead weights the size of bowling balls…

It's always sexual with you... 😁 😅😅

(Sorry, I just had to do it...)


Edit: I have to start on the gizzards again... Brudders got to represent...

Just watched a satisfying NFL finish for Washington Redskin, er, Commander haters like me. You live here, you either give up your childhood allegiance (Bengals in my case) or you end up hating the ex-Skins -and that’s me.

Today they had first and goal on the 2-yard line to win the game (down 4) in the final minute -and Carson Wentz throws an interception in the end zone. I yelled so loud the cat is still hiding.

I have a friend that goes to fishing tournies. He said it happens quite a bit. He said one guy turned in fish he caught at a different lake than the one they were supposed to be fishing. he was just a working guy with an expensive hobby. At one tournie, all the people who made money were guides at the lake they were fishing. That didn't go over well with the regular guys.

 

[vhcat70]

I think I picked a good 24 hours to not be online. That's all.

Well, the Bengals started out as poorly as Kentucky so far. They have already let Burrows get sacked and can't get the running game going either.

 

[AustinTXCat]

At least our other ranked football team won. Go Cats!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F and clear. Today's high expected around 89°F.

Keldon Johnson and San Antonio Spurs suited up in Uvalde yesterday. They were on a goodwill visit "giving back to the community".

First weekend of Austin City Limits festival in the books. Event sure attracts a bunch of folks.

Bengals lost another close one last night.

Monday, Monday...

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

It is a pleasant 57° and clear and our high should reach 85° with no chance of rain. I have more PT today on that dad gum left shoulder of mine. We are trying to get it in shape without the need for surgery. I am resisting surgery because I have been cut enough for one lifetime.

I am not convinced the UK football team has the guts to come back and beat Mississippi State. The coaches have a lot of work to do. They were not ready to play Saturday night and if you can't get up for an SEC game and give your all in front of a sold out stadium, bless your heart. Stoops better take a hard look at that coaching staff. He has some slackers around him with no fire in their belly.

And forget about life time contracts. We have had one coach burn us on that deal so a lesson learned.

I trust all are well.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League. Still beautiful weather in the east. Man, it was lovely along the ocean this weekend, and almost no people so I enjoyed it a lot more than the summer crowds.

Back to the grim reality of work. But basketball season is virtually at hand, and excitement will come as a promising team gets into the rhythm of the year.

I hope all is well for you all today.

Bill James tells in one of his books how in polls taken among fellow players in both the 1940's and the 1950's, Stan Musial was chosen as Player of the Decade. Some would argue it was because everyone loved Stan and Ted Williams spent time in both decades in war and he was not very well liked till he retired and Joe Dimaggio thought highly of himself. Joe used to advertise coffee makers on TV and was always called "world's greatest living player". A sports writer (can't recall who) told of a time they had Mickey Mantle day or something at Yankee Stadium and he emceed. At the end, he was to introduce Joe and Joe would make a short speech. He ended with "and now here is Joe DiMaggio.". Joe told him he wasn't going to talk and walked over with the other dignitaries. Later, Joe caught the writer alone in the hallways of the stadium, punched him in the stomach and said, "it's Joe DiMaggio worlds greatest living player."

Good morning D-League. It's a chilly 43° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 69°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

On the UK coaching side: our offensive coordinator does the same thing over and over. It is too easy to figure out.
