Looks as if UK gets the Music City Bowl in Nashville .
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Brudder Sir, and I say this with all sincerity.... I'd hate to have your dog food bill.
Ya got a gofundme going on......yet? 😁
It was bad.
UK hit 10 of 20 from the free throw line. Geeze in high school we would not see the floor if we could not hit 50%. Wheeler was 2 of 6. Holy shit.
I hope that this team wins it all but I don't see them being good. Sorry.
Good rebounding, good assists but turnovers and free throw shooting really hurt them.
In high school, at the end of practice, we had to shoot free throws. When you are dragging your ass you have to go to the line. Apparently UK never has to do this sort of shit. That in practice makes you concentrate and hit the freebies.
It shows. Wallace missed the front end of a one plus one to put Michigan State away in regulation. Then his missed a free throw in the first over time to cost the game in the second over time.
You can coach against crap like that, but Cal apparently does not understand how important free throws are.
I am proud of this win, but I don't think that Michigan is a very good team. I hope that I am wrong but I have no confidence in this team or it's leadership.
It may be a long winter.
There is a colony of feral cats that lives in the area of our shop that Jan feeds. Must be 15 or 20 of them. If one is sick or hurt, she takes it to the vet. I was supposed to meet a customer there this morning and I found 3 pit bull mixes snooping around. I was a bit concerned about their reaction, but I got a couple of big sticks and made enough noise to chase them off.
I keep around four 50lb bags of Purina Dow Chow Beef and Chicken in the garage. As soon as one is emptied into a large bin to scoop out daily, my next run to the store I buy a new one.
We have 4 dogs with the smallest one being a pit mix at about 60 lbs. We will be down to 3 in the not-too-distant future since our 95lb Pyrenees mix is old (12 years old in January) and does not get around as well as she used to.

It's a rematch of last year's Citrus Bowl with Iowa. Sadly, the Music City Bowl kicks off at noon, the same time that the UK-Louisville basketball game tips off.
A great read on the subject, Thornton not the bear, is The Bluegrass Conspiracy by Sally Denton. Surprising information included about many well-known Kentuckians and not in a good way, IF it's legit. Entertaining book.41102 - Early in my career I wrote a story about Andrew Thornton -- the ex-Lexington police officer who died in a drug smuggling operation in which he parachuted out of a small plane, letting it fly on to crash on its own. He miscalculated and hit the ground before his emergency chute opened on a ridge above Knoxville. The cocaine blocks scattered through the woods. Later, the story emerged that a bear had found one of the cocaine blocks and eaten it. I believe the movie is based on that.
I spent time in Lexington and Knoxville and interviewed many people who knew Thornton. My sense is that only the tip of the iceberg on this story ever became public.
I can't figure out a way to post my story (in the unlikely event anyone would want to see this old article, post an email and Ill send it) but this link will give you some more of the basics.

Yeah that's disappointing. During the UL game and Iowa again. At least it's a short drive for the fans.
Wow, Boyd drops one all alone in the endzone for the Bengals. Right in the breadbasket on a 3rd and three. Had to settle for a field goal to tie it up.

Sir,
I WISH I could argue with you in this instance, I do...the thing is there is no excuse for leaving 50% of your points at the free-throw line. That is inexcusable. No team UK plays will leave 50% at the line. NONE, NADA, NO TEAM....
Anyone can say whatever they want but if a team cannot play the fundamentals of the game the COACH is at fault for allowing it. Haven't even started in on other parts of the game. This is a given...
Getting ready to watch Scrooged. I always thought Karen Allen was cute as a button, especially in Animal House and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Cats FT shooting horrifies me. Agreed. Inexcusable.
Agree. Watched the game. At least Bengals won.
Who Dey! Three wins over the Chiefs in a calendar year. Hell of a game.
England vs. France in the World Cup. I like soccer, not a huge fan but this game should be exciting. Fanwise. Possible brawls in the streets/stands.
Bengals are an enigma. It is hard to understand how they can beat teams that are difficult and then lose to those should easily beat. I.E. the Rams. they should have dispatched the Rams last year in the Super Bowl.
Bengals have had bad luck in Super Bowls -0-3 with two losses to Joe Montana and one against a Rams team that was pretty loaded with talent. The thing is, the Bengals could be 3-0 in those games with a handful of breaks.
But I ain’t giving up. This could be the year!
Early in season their OL hadn't played together & Burrow still coming back from appendix removal. Much more jelled & JB healthier. And #1 back from a 4 weeks vacation. 6 wins in last 7. Should go at least 3-2 rest of way & probably better.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F and cloudy. Today's high may reach 74°F. We caught drizzle and sprinkles for much of yesterday. Very much needed. Current fog advisory in effect.
Cowboys scored 33 points in 4th quarter last night, obliterated Colts. Wow.
Rematch of last season's Citrus Bowl coming to year's Music City Bowl. Ha ha.
Another weekend in the books. Monday, Monday...
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Morning Legionnaires!
48° this morning with a high of 74° expected.
Good weekend of sports discounting the WC loss but, that's just soccer.
Pfffft! Who watches that crap anyway.
My Minnesota Vikings are 0-4 in Super Bowls. I know the feeling. I don give up either. Maybe this will be the year.
Same for the Buffalo Bills and they lost theirs back to back to back to back. Simply put, successively.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 22° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. The afternoon forecast will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 55°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Getting ready to go on a group hike at Mount Rogers, Va. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Not to bothered by the game yesterday. Good game despite the Free Throws. We're hitting near 70% for the year. Cal does need to address the late game FT. But it may only make it worse. Lance Ware is our worst, followed by Wallace which is scary.
@warrior-cat loved the little bear pic. If only I could figure out how to post pics.

Vikings vs Bills would be a dream Super Bowl. At least one of them would finally win a Super Bowl.
Let's all just hope that if the Bengals make it back to the Super Bowl this year that they do not follow the 4 loss no win trend those teams have.
Good morning D-League.
Happy with the sports weekend - Cats win was a step in right direction and Bengals won a huge game for their chances. Also, AD scored 55 last night for Lakers. Nice to see him succeeding.
Today promises to be a grind -lots of work to get finished before my surgery next week, a pile of preparation for that, and I need to get some shopping (online) done before they cut me —I hear there is a lot of PT in the days after so I don’t want a lot of chores back up.
Hope it’s a good day for everyone.

Good Morning D League
60° with foggy skies and partly cloudy. The fog should life within the next hour or so. High of 76° at 3:00 PM and a 3% chance of rain.
I have a full session of workouts this morning as I build up my stamina once more. Then I must take some "care packages" to the post office to send my grandson away to college and my granddaughter at the Academy. I have some of their favorite treats and want them to get them in time for final exams and before Christmas break. He takes the MCAT early next year and will spend most of his Christmas break preparing for that, I am sure.
I trust all have a good week ahead and MdWildcat55 that is smart of you to try to be prepared as possible for your surgery and recovery time. I went through two major surgeries almost back to back a few years ago and tried to be as prepared as possible but you still are never 100% ready for the trauma and recovery time. Prayers your way.

Good morning all,
Sitting in the DC VA waiting for my MRI. I think I am well enough to get through it being still and not coughing up a lung. We shall see. I will work from home today once I finish but I sure need to be back in my office
Have a great day...

Good morning from a cloudy Smiths Grove at 32.3°F on our way to 48 with a 40% chance of rain.
@MdWIldcat55 best of luck on the hip replacement. Just take your pain meds as prescribed and walk, walk, walk. That sounds easy until they replace your hip! In a few days you will be using your cane out of habit instead necessity. The beauty of my hip replacement was that my PT office is only 1/2 mile from my house. Big help.

Time for breakfast and this morning it will be honey on those biscuits. We try to keep two types of honey around at all times. Both are local and very good for you. Orange blossom is our standard but our premium, "high society" "uptown" "high brow" Gold Standard is Tupelo Honey. That is the Cream of the Crop.
Tupelo honey is one of the rarest honeys in the world, and for centuries it was an under-the-radar delicacy eaten only in certain areas of Georgia and Florida, where the white Ogeechee Tupelo Tree blooms. That is, until the 1970s when the rock star Van Morrison released his album, Tupelo Honey. Ever since this flash of stardom the expensive sweetener has been sought out by eaters and prized for its butteriness and floral spice.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement Sawnee and Bert. This surgery will be a good thing for me -- when I'm looking back in a month. Challenging timing for it, but you could say that about most things in life, I suppose. We D-leaguers power through.
More often than not surgery can be life changing for you. I would not be walking today had I not had a complete spinal fusion and of course had I not had cancer surgery I would probably be gone from this earth by now.
Make it a good thing MdWildcat55 and we pray you will be blessed with a skilled surgeon. You will be back in business before you know it.
