D-League

Good morning all,

Sky rockets in flight....

Biscuits, bacon, eggs, and coffee...

Getting ready to head to the late service...

Yeah, never thought I'd feel it but, UK is hurting me right now. I've been hurt before but it is horrible, this feeling of despair concerning UK, knowing there's not a dang thing I can do about it....

They are forecasting the coldest Christmas down here in 20 years. Watch your head walking under a tree

The LSU - UK games were never close and Rupp just let Maravich do his thing. They were some of the most entertaining games in UK history. Issel would get 40 or 50 and Maravich 50 or 60. A whole lot of fun for fans because as a UK fan you knew you were going to win. Pistol Pete never played in a game against UK that his team won.

I would love to see an offense close to what UK ran in those days. 53 points would be a half time score.

I've seen articles where Cal describes himself as a grinder in life because that's how his family was when he grew up. That influences his basketball philosophy. UK wouldn't pay me 10 cents for my coaching knowledge, but it seems to me that if you have the most talent, you want (within reason) more possessions to allow talent a better chance to prevail. Ask most coaches what it will take to pull an upset and they will tell you try and slow the game down/fewer possessions. It seems Cal often plays more like the team with less talent. Oh well, I'm just a dumb old country boy and baseball is my game anyhow.

Grinder basketball is not UK basketball. Kentucky was a pioneer in running the fast break. That is the image of UK basketball through the ages. Get the ball out and move it down the court. The fewer the dribbles the better. Just pass and get open for the shot. And if you are open, take the shot. If you can't hit a shot you stay at the end of the bench with the turds as Rupp called them. It worked for decades but now it is gone with the wind.

Here is a little picture to maybe pick up your spirits for the Holidays. Put UK on the back burner and let's enjoy the season folks. My wife snapped this just a few minutes ago. This is her cat. When she is home this cat is almost always around her.

I love cats.................................in your house. 😁 (It is beautiful as far as cats go...)

I am glad to see some Christmas warmth though. My Darling and I just got back from church, then we hit, Walmart, Sam's, and Costco. Put the finishing touches on the things we need except for the baby back ribs we will wait to grab at Costco later this week... Ribs and roast "beast" for Christmas according to My Darling...

Have a great rest of your day(s)...

I know this is hardly a soccer-friendly zone, but I have to say that Argentina-France final was one of the craziest, and most intense sporting events I can remember. It had everything —and a satisfying ending, at least for me.

Watched entire game, including extra time, and loved it. Unforgettable championship. Fans got their money's worth.

Not un-friendly to soccer at all. It is just that I have never had legs to be able to run faster than at a trot. Hard to get into it when I was envious... ;)

Don't really like cats myself, but my wife and daughter have wanted one for years and about 2 1/2 years ago a kitten showed up on our doorstep and we kept him. Then my wife and daughter said he needed some company, so we got two more. 4 dogs and 3 cats unless you count my daughter who we call Cat short for Catarena which makes 4.

Who Dey indeed. Needed this one. Now just hold the line to keep Ravens in wild card status. What is really bad is that Tampa Bay is leading their division at 6-8.

Who Dey! Bengals have it all in their hands now to win the division and host a playoff game.

Nice recovery from dropping the opener on a missed PAT, starting 0-2 and 4-4…

I hope all have a peaceful rest of your evening. Heading into the office this week. (Was going to take leave but forgot how empty it will be and I will be able to do all the training and annual certification things I need to do... at least 40 hours worth...) ;)

Good morning from ATX. Currently 48°F and cloudy with increasing rain chances. We may have reached today's high.

Apparently El Paso suffers from a major refugee crisis. City is overwhelmed with new bodies.

Light shows all over town. Tis the season .

Another weekend in the books. Monday, Monday.....

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Monday Morning

Buddy it is cold outside. 35° is cold down here. The sun will shine and the skies are clear and the high should reach 70°.

I trust all had a nice weekend and if you are in pain it is much better than it was. I guess we are counting down to Christmas. It will be here before you know it. I am ready.

Today is a workout day and final meal planning for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our family tradition is oyster stew for Christmas Eve and I am going with the Prime Rib on Christmas Day. Now we will work out the trimmings. Life is Good and God is great. Take care all

The man on the radio is talking about buying ammo and firearms. His store has a nice supply for Christmas and a few boxes of shells should be good stocking stuffers.

He made a good suggestion, be prepared and build a bunker and load it up with ammo. Not a bad suggestion for a Monday morning.

And new housing starts are down 70%. So that is the local news for today. Something has to give.

Good morning everyone!

Slept til 7 this morning...shocking, but needed. Not much on tap and still haven't watched the first highlight or reviewed the box score of Sat's game. I think I'll just keep it that way.

I hope everyone has a great day. Not much planned here today.

Good morning D-League. Getting psyched for my Physical Therapy session at 9am. Want to earn that Gold Star for best leg lift and knee rolls.

Satisfying weekend in the NFL, for some of us. Bengals with a big comeback win. Ravens lose and look incapable of scoring. And for me, Commanders lose what may turn out to be a playoff elimination game with Giants in satisfying fashion -- two questionable calls on 1st and goal under a minute. I'll root like hell against them until their odious owner is forced to sell.

My son got back from Lexington last night. He was due in after I went to bed. My hup woke me up after midnight and went in to his bedroom to check and he was nowhere to be found. In my foggy state, I was starting to imagine a road mishap, and went downstairs to see if I could see his car. I caught him heading back down to the basement with an old high school girlfriend also home from college who wanted to say hello to him. Damn, to be young again.

Christmas barrelling down. Most of wht I have left to do is wrapping presents, which I absolutely hate. Hope the week is shaping up well for all of you.

Anybody seen anything on this? Some say "juiced" balls were used in Yankee games (Judge's hr record chase).

Study claims MLB used three different baseballs in 2022 after its admission two were used in 2021

MLB said it would have a "more consistent baseball" in 2022, but a new study has shown that a third ball was introduced just one season after the league admitted using two in 2021.

I was juiced last night, and I didn't hit any home runs so, it doesn't work. Least not for me anyways. ;)

Can't anyone just do what they say they are going to do? All a man has is his word but I guess that is now for sale, I hope not to most people. Geez, even baseball... Not just roids now it seems.

Thursday nights forecast for us here is supposed to get down to 2°. Will start dropping Wednesday early afternoon and fall throughout the night. A friend just called me about 30 minutes ago asking if I could help him move out of his apartment Wednesday because his rent went from $685.00 earlier this year to $800.00 back in June and is now going up to $925.00 the first of the year. Thanks Joe. Anyways, I hope he starts early because the wind is also supposed come out of the north and be 25-35mph with higher gusts.
