D-League

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Back from a long hike which was enjoyable. Cloudy and cool -- a nice November day.

My sister-in-law stopped over and we were chatting about her husband -- my wife's brother. He was a fairly successful lawyer, retired in early 50s (they couldn't have kids) bought a place near the beach in Delaware, but was getting more and more bored.

So now he has gone back to technical school and passed his license as a HVAC tech. Good for him. I swallowed my instinct to joke, "finally doing something useful in life." (No offense to any lawyers in the D-League. My BIL by his own admission hated the kind of law he practiced which included getting rich A-holes off, and is why he bailed on it so young.)

Cats absolutely have to win today, but I have a bad feeling. A beating like last week is hard to reverse in a week of practice and the whole season may be about to snowball. I hope not.

For some reason, our county experienced reduced polling locations this year. Two locations I used during years past were no longer available this cycle. No biggie. I early voted last week around 4:30 pm. No line.

Since 2018 our voting process and locations have been changed. Instead of a computer printout that you sign in on at your assigned voting place, you now use a computer screen for your signature. You can vote anywhere in the country that has a polling place. The computerized system allows all country prencincts to vote at any of the 5 polling places. For this they now use large facilities, gyms etc, and it is walk in, sign in, vote and put your sheet in the scanner. All of the polling places have big parking capacity and they also have a separate section for the handicapped.

Yesterday no one was in front of Sherry and I. The total thing was about 5 minutes.

It took me longer to fill out the ballot than the wait in line to be processed.

Good Saturday Morning

Another pleasant day with a current temperature of 64° and our high should reach 84° with clear sunny skies.

Lots of nice games to watch today, should be a fun day and I trust the Cats can get back to winning. A loss today would make this season a disappointment in my eyes and probably knock the Cats out of any chance for a Florida bowl. I hope the Cats can get it together.

My wife and I are headed down to St Pete to the St Pete Yacht Club for a luncheon and speaker. It is always nice to visit that area. I trust all are well and have a great day.

This is how it looked about 65 years ago.

Had me thinking about Thurston Howell the third and Lovey always talking about the Yacht Club.

Morning Legionnaires!

38° with sunny skies and light winds. 64° for the high expected. Tomorrow will be in the 70's so, fishing one last time before the cold starts end of next week.

Oh yeah, IT'S GAME DAY!

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Game day.

Go Cats.

That cold snap will be here just in time for the deer rifle opener. Perfect (for me).

Can't start a game much better than that and we needed it. A couple of huge 3rd down conversions....and we made the extra point (!) which hasn't been a gimmie for us.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Touchdown KENTUCKY!!!

7-0 UK

 

[warrior-cat]

Why do we have so many problems when it comes to changing players in between plays? We should be getting this ball at the 35 or so with the missed field goal.

Go Big Blue!

Just gave 3 points, special teams been a disaster this year.

You're slacking Rooster

 

[warrior-cat]

Don't know why they design a play up the middle for Smoke. He should be running around the defense with his speed.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

We have had like 3 conversions on 3rd down already with the passing game...why run it up the middle? Especially considering our FG kicking has been pathetic all year?

 

[UK_fan_41102]

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Wow. Turned on the game just in time to see that kick. Did that ruptured duck get seven feet off the ground?

I hate it for that kid, but he is horrible,

 

[MdWIldcat55]

After that penalty the Cats are in 4 down territory -no point in punting and really no point in FG attempts. Design the offense accordingly.

That is, unless you lose 30 yards on the first three downs.

Easy. I'm still adjusting to being a displicable deplorable American rebel and remaining eligible to see Rupp's house.

 

[warrior-cat]

Da do run run da do run run.

 

[UK82]

So much for taking advantage of good field position today.

[MdWIldcat55]

Great call to attempt a FG from 47 after the 43 yard attempt missed by 25 yards.

Not to mention over 20 mph winds.

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[warrior-cat]

Well, we know Ruffalo will not make an NFL roster.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

I think I would rather Levis try it throw it on fourth down with his left hand than for us to try to make FG right now. Hell, just let Levis try to kick it.

Not making kicks cost us the Ole Miss game, I don't like the feel of this one right now, we look like the better team but are only up 4. We gave them 3 points and missed our two FGs, easily could be something like 10-0 right now but it's not.

We should just roll Levis out and throw to the end zone and hope for a score. If they intercept, we just stop them before they get up the field.

 

[warrior-cat]

We are discombobulated right now.

 

[UK82]

Gotta question that 3rd down decision.

 

[_Rooster]

Da do run run da do run run.

 

[UK82]

Defense playing well.

 

[warrior-cat]

Defense is keeping us in this game.

 

[warrior-cat]

SAD.
