This may sound odd, but I spent a lot of time in Turkey. Most civilians who worked on base were Muslim. They would do the on their knees praying (toward the east if I recall correctly)thing, but on their breaks, they all played volleyball, not soccer.

Painful to watch. Come on Cats!
After Fredrick's three pointer one of the announcers said: "That's the Fredrick we will see most of the season". Well, he needs to get started to make that true.
If YOU abseits in America at one time YOU had to clean it up!
I will post this and make no other comment....

Senate passes same-sex marriage bill with bipartisan support
The Senate on Tuesday passed the Respect for Marriage Act Tuesday in a bipartisan vote, which will codify the right to same-sex marriage into federal law.
21 points against Bellarmine at the half. Trying to stay positive. Help me out guys.
Bellarmine beat Louisville, lost to Clemson by 10, lost to Duke by 17, lost to UCLA by 21...We were a 25.5 point favorite, I bet on Bellarmine. Cats going to have to play really good in the second half to make me lose money.
Be positive, this is ridiculous...
Do we practice shooting in practice?
Drilling in the EEO etiquette mantra.... 50% time shared in practice...
Oops...😬
I was referencing Fredricks shooting, It picked up a bit.
Cats finally playing their game.
I'd mess with you anywhere (Away from you, preferably on the internet with at least 800 miles between us.), any place (Except near you.), and any time (You are in a quasi ...decent mood. I know never, but never has various shades of seriousness...)

Yeah, I had a couple of drinks too during the game. 😋

Don't get me wrong but I'm thrilled with the win. My concern for the past several years is that UK is too easy to scout on offense. Pass the ball around the perimeter and wind up with a contested shot. Time after time. No surprises. All the other team needs to do is pack the paint and put a man on the outside shooter. Even the announcers made that point tonight.
The current style of play offensively does not give me that warm and fuzzy feeling I used to get when we played. Going into any game I might be nervous but was sure our chances were good but now...not so much.
The 1996 championship team was the only team that I rarely got nervous about. Oh sure 1978 and 2012 were great teams but 1996, I always knew they'd pull it out.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 44°F, clear and windy. Today's high may reach 57°F if we're luck. Huge difference from 24 hours ago.
Bellarmine kept things a bit too close during first 25 minutes last night. Cats woke up and pulled away. Whew!
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning all,
Still under the weather but thankful. My sleep has failed me but I am thankful. Sicker than a dog but I am thankful. Am I thankful you ask? Yes, I am thankful....
Have a great day! 😁

I have never watched a soccer match. Just checking in on it while I am channel surfing. It bores me bad.
I am a stuck in the mud ole school guy and half of my life they have been trying to shove soccer down our throat. NOPE NOPE NOPE, not for me.
Morning Legionnaires!
28° this morning with light winds. Mid 40's as the high with sunshine predicted for the day.
Going back to sleep after wife leaves for work shortly, doing a late morning workout after, walk the monster (if I don't, she gets mopey) and then...nothing.
Did my prediction for the UK vs Mich. basketball game for Sunday a bit ago in Old Reds thread and was struggling to pick the winner. Both are 5-2 with one loss we should have won so, it was a hard choice. It came down to where they are playing and being it is in the UK (London) I marked it down in my head as a home game since it is in the UK. Not very scientific but the only way I could justify my choice since it seems to be a toss-up.
That is all for this morning folks, have a nice day and God Bless.
It is a windy 37.2°F here on our way to a cool 42°F. We got .91" of rain last night and this morning, so on top of the .43" we got Sunday we are looking good on the rain part.
This team is not going to be world stoppers unless something drastically happens which I don't see. Cal has no offense.

Good morning folks. I was going to complain about pelting frozen rain and lead colored skies, but if dog-sick BBUK can be thankful, well so can I.
Didn’t get to watch the Cats. Sounds like I didn’t miss that much though I note that they beat Bellarmine by more than Duke and UCLA I think, and holding any team to 41 points is something to build on. Best to stay an optimist in life until it makes you a fool. Not there yet with this team.
Hectic work day but I can see a stretch of easier days ahead. Better be, so I can rehab from hip surgery.
Hope it’s a good day for all.

Wow, 56 right now over here in the eastern part of the state. Note to remember to take a jacket today for our shopping, eating out, & movie over in VA.

I don't watch it myself except for the WC if we are playing. Watched some and played some (not good) when stationed in Germany (3 tours). Now, I just watch college basketball and football, NFL (mostly Bengals), and baseball (mostly Reds). Oh, and let's not forget, Bass fishing tournaments on ESPN and educational Bass fishing videos on YouTube.
I’ll probably be asked to turn in my D-League Man Card but I’ve come around on soccer.
I forced myself to watch a few high-level matches start to finish, not expecting to enjoy it or even understand it at first, but gradually I started to feel the rhythms and get into the pace and anticipate the strategy a bit. After that, I began to get pulled into the tension, the huge value of each goal.
Parts of it still infuriate me -the flopping, the bullshit offsides. But those last few minutes yesterday of the US defending a 1-0 lead against some furious attacks was pretty damn thrilling.
I am in the same boat, sicker than a dog and the first time I have felt like this in years. My son texted me and said the Lexington hospitals are full of flu patients. It is not an issue down here so I will hang around the house a few days and try to get back my strength. I am weak. But I too am thankful.
This afternoon we will reach 81° and sunshine. That should help. I will assist the sunshine with chicken broth and grandma's medicine. I keep a jug of moonshine around and some fresh orange blossom honey. That should do it.
Over Thanksgiving my granddaughter said she was considering training for the Wings of Blue which is parachute skydiving club at the Academy. They are the team that jumps at college and prof football halftime or pregame shows. I told her to go for it.
I will go through life and not get into soccer either Bert. It just does not appeal to me.
This is me laughing at you with a beer doing a Whitey Herzog impression....'mostly Reds' haha...you would see better baseball watching the Toledo Mud Hens.
Nah, Lou Brown does not coach them anymore.

Now a biscuit bake-off I could understand.............In baseball you can make a guy look foolish if you play smart. In football as well. Many players can be made to look foolish during plays. Basketball as well... Heck even hockey is a sport where you at least can fight it out.
Take soccer, from the minute players take the field they all look foolish... where is the fun in that?
THAT'S BBUK's Bi-Centennial minute... 😁

What do you got against the Mud Hens???
Nah, you good. Old Austin also played soccer back in the day. Yes, yesterday's finish was extremely thrilling, especially considering Iran beat TeamUSA in soccer back in the 90s or early 2000s if I remember correctly.
Edit: 1998 World Cup. Iran def USA 2-1.
