D-League

[warrior-cat]

Here's a few things to consider. Tennessee beat a mediocre Pittsburgh team by 7 on the road and Florida by 5 at home. The same Florida team UK beat by 10 in Gainesville. Also, if UK has a healthy Will Levis in the 2 losses, UK is most likely undefeated and the narrative around this game is changed. Personally, I think the Cats cover the spread.

Also, since 2019,

• Only Alabama and Georgia have covered the spread as a favorite against Kentucky during this stretch.
• Kentucky is a perfect 6-0 ATS as an underdog with Will Levis under center with four outright wins.
• Kentucky is 11-2-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 14 games as a dog.
• Kentucky has seven outright wins over Missouri (+10, 2019), Virginia Tech (+2, 2019), Tennessee (+6, 2020), Florida (+7, 2021 and +6, 2022), Louisville (+3, 2021), and Mississippi State (+3.5, 2022) during this stretch.
• Five of those seven outright wins have come away from Kroger Field.

Kentucky is a double-digit underdog against Tennessee

When Kentucky goes to Knoxville next weekend, they'll do so as a double-digit underdog against the Tennessee Volunteers.

Good morning D-League. Hope all is well.

I know this isn’t the politics thread but one quick observation: I watched a little of the Pennsylvania senate debate last night. Are people really going to give Karl Childers (Sling Blade) the job just because he has deteriorated to the point that he can’t fix lawn mowers?

Cool and cloudy here. I’m shaking off a lot of soreness today -I slipped on some wet concrete steps in the subway station last night trying to compensate for my arthritic hip and tumbled for a while. The pain I can handle, but the people rushing to help the crippled old man stung. Just laugh at me people. I can relate to that. Hope you all have a good day.

I still remember the day I looked in the mirror and said who is that old man staring back at me.

I picked up speed tumbling down the stairs. I'd be surprised if a giant snake could match my rolling speed.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 56° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring cloudy skies and a high of 57°.

Everyone stay safe on this hump day 🐪.

Working from home today but engaged for sure. Just busy...

Wife and I a few years back kept receipts from everything for a month to determine how much in taxes we were really paying from our pay. We were near 50% for the month. I suspect it is 50% or worse now.

I am on the old railroad retirement plan, i.e. that existed before 1970. My wife paid in Social Security taxes all of her career, yet she can't get social security, because I collect railroad retirement. Railroad retirement is a lot more than SS and it's taxes for people hired prior to 1970 were a lot more; however, because my wife gets railroad retirement off my plan she is excluded from SS.

It ain't right but that is the federal government.

It is a cloudy 48.0°F here and we are supposed to get to 60° with no chance of rain. Yesterday afternoon we were graced with .46" of the precious stuff. I was praying for an inch. But I am proud of the .46.

Have a great hump day folks.

The 3 main keys to a UK victory are:
1. Kentucky must win the turnover battle
2. Kentucky has to limit untimely penalties.
3. They've got to win the time of possession by rushing for at least 150 yards and having Rodriguez score at least 2 TDs.

If they succeed in the aforementioned, UK has a real shot at a victory.

Protecting Levis and keeping him in the game and keeping Tennessee from hitting big plays goes without saying.

All that is saying we must limit the number of TN possessions.

Sir, it is criminal..

My Darling is four years older than I am (Looks thirty years younger) but in any event we are dealing with Medicare now. I have to get them some information very soon as I have an end of month deadline. (When I retire, I will have health care exactly as I do now.) My Darling has the medicare but I am looking into the costs associated. (Actually doing that today.) I sure know they have taken out medicare payments from my check since I've been employed... I think 1.5% or something like that. (From My Darling talking with friends it seems there may be a mandatory charge to us.)

On Medicare there is a charge removed from you check monthly. Plus I pay for supplemental insurance and drug coverage. The cost is about $14,000 a year for the two of us.

I really don't understand this medicare in relation to different coverage and costs around the nation. People pay different premiums and some of us pay $0

I have a Humana PPO (HumanaChoice Florida) and I couldn't ask for a better policy. Nothing I have had in my life compares to this. I get to see the best doctors and I get to choose them.

My wife and I have $0 Premium. We pay nothing for the coverage. NADA. Other than the monthly deduction out of social security.

*We have a $10 co-pay for our primary doctor and $20 for specialist.
*With a PPO we do not need a referral to see a specialist. I can pick up the phone and call one without my primary doctor even knowing. I did that when I had my spine operation and my kidney cancer surgery.
* My prescription drugs are $0. I go through Humana for that and they send them direct to my house with no charge. They also refill them automatically. If a prescription requires a doctor to authorize, Humana call them. I do nothing and I pay nothing.

In the past 5 years I have had 6 major surgeries. Cancer, Spinal stenois to name a few and they were very expensive. My cost was negligible.

I think they State of Florida negotiaties the Medicare Advantage policies with the insurance carriers. What ever it may be I am about as pleased with my medical insurance as one can be.

Got my answers on Medicare. I do thank you for your input. It did help and shook me out of my apathy/ non-critical approach.

The coal miner story of the miner who attended the UK blue white game has gone viral and there was a feature story in Tampa, FL about it. WFLA Channel 8 News covered it and gave a very nice write up.

I am proud of the father and the young man is very lucky to have such a loving family. Just a great story of Cat fans. Love it

You may have found this out already BBUK. But all you need to do as you approach 65 but plan to continue working is sign up for the FREE part of Medicare, Part A, if you are going to be using your work health care plan for the foreseeable future. That will establish you with a Medicare account and a number, but cost you nothing. Then, when you leave employment, you can start paying for more coverage under Medicare: What that might include is another question for another time.

That photo reminds me so much of my dad, who was a pipeline welder and would often get very dirty working in ditches, but he’d come directly from the job to catch me and my brothers in basketball or baseball games. I know looking back he probably felt self-conscious, he was a very dignified guy, but he cared more about watching his sons.

My Dad showed up to my championship game in babe Ruth league. I remembered it being the first time he ever saw me play. I went 4 for 4, drove in the winning run and got the winning out. The only game my Dad ever saw me play...

I guess I was lucky. Dad could be strict, but he never missed my games. He even coached a couple of teams when I was in the Khoury League.

I coached my son in little league and babe Ruth along with tee ball. Not every team he played on (on purpose) but the majority. My two daughters in Color guard, marching band, football, yadda yadda. (Never coached those but in totality they were supported. Church, men's group, nursing home visits and support. (Had a full-filling journey and was thankful then and am thankful now. Glad I owned my own business most of that time and had employees covering. I was busy busy back then but my babies and My Darling remember....

My Dad and Mom had it hard but they did the best they could with what they had...

I helped coach my daughter in basketball and softball till she got to the high school level. I think it is important to be involved in your child's life. She has turned out pretty well.
