Gotta question the play calling on that last possession. It was a long shot anyway.

Looks like UL will beat #24 NC State. Next week's game just got more interesting. Hate to say it but UL is on a roll. Weak conference though.
They are 7-4 right now and will be fired up. We need to come in play the whole game like we were playing offensively in the 4th quarter.
 
Drove up to Middletown in Lou today for a birthday party. Visited with a whole bunch of folks I'd not seen in decades. Good times.

Stopped at Bootleg BBQ and grabbed brisket, mutton, cooked cabbage and a nice helping of Kentucky Burgoo, which I've not ate in many years. Awesome. Listened to Tom Leach call 1st quarter of game while driving on I-65/WK parkway. Caught rest of game here on the lake.

Wow. Closer than expected. Disappointing loss.

Cuz and I watching KET right now. Great to be back home. Y'all behave.
 
The only consolation is SC seems to be a good team. Vanderbilt won as well... "at least that's something" :(
I guess the days of making fun of South Carolina are coming to an end. If you score 63 on Tennessee, ranked 5th in the nation, it is time to take a team serious.

Meanwhile down here, the Gators are falling apart with a half a dozen players entering the portal with games left to play. It is so bad a lot of Gator fans have made videos expressing their frustrations and I would love to post them on the D League. But I can't, this is a family site. Believe me they are vicious but too much profanity.

The SEC is going through a shake up.
 
Good Sunday Morning D

This is not a day for the beach. We have cloudy skies with moderately rough seas and a small craft advisory for the Gulf of Mexico. Leave your smaller boat at the dock. It is 50° at the present and the high will reach 55° with a 95% chance of rain. Just NASTY, NASTY weather. Ugh. I see where some place in New York got 77 inches of snow. So I guess we are blessed to have 50 degree weather. Count your blessing one by one.

The grandkids will be all coming home for Thanksgiving and I told them I will be there with a surprise or two. It will be nice to have everyone around the table because it has been a while since we could do that. And as time goes on it will be less and less. I am anxious to hear how life is at the AF Academy and my grandson's progression in research at the Cincinnati Children Hospital. He is working in the DNA lab over there while preparing for a career in medicine. I trust all are well and bundle up and stay warm.

No link, but on a Cardinal baseball forum, they are saying Yadier Molina while managing a team in the Venezuelan League has been kicked out of three straight baseball games. Earlier this year, he was kicked out of a basketball game for kicking a basketball. He owned the team and was rehabbing from a knee injury with St Louis baseball.
 
Good morning all,

A rough night... My grandson had a high fever, took ice packs and his mom coming home from work. She's an RN and slept here with him. He is with his grandma right now, making and eating his favorite banana pancakes. He eats them nearly every morning.

I am thankful...
 
A long time ago I ran 8 miles (or more) every day for a full year, just to see if I could do it. I was weird like that on physical things. Once you build a little body heat up, the cold doesn't bother you.
My son is a marathon runner and has competed in Philadelphia and Chicago to name a few. He qualified for the Boston Marathon and was all ready to go when COVID hit and they cancelled it.

He runs everyday a minimum of 6 miles and about 3X a week 12 miles. Before going to work. He has been doing that for many years. His best buddy has been on the UK football staff and keeps in top shape and they run together often. They have known each other for over 30 years and went to UK at the same time. They began running together then. The grandkids ran with him before they went off to school and continue to run at college. I told him to slow it down but he is not listening to the old man.

I honestly think it is an addiction but he is excellent health and has been all of his life. I guess the only way he will slow down is if his bones get the best of him. The aging process is brutal on runners. I stopped running distance when I turned 50. In part due to traveling so much and not enough time and lack of desire to run in a strange city by myself at 5:00 AM. I continued racket ball to keep in shape and lifted weights for toning and flab removal.

I have the joints of a 100 old man. It takes a brave person to get old on bad joints.

You are correct, absolutely. There is a real thing called a "runner's high". Between running and other physical activities, I went overboard on, this old body has a lot of excess miles on it that remind me of it daily.
