The 3 million lights of St Augustine. America's oldest city. If you have not visited put it on your bucket list. You will be amazed by the history and the beauty of the Old City.

Yes, gorgeous town. Didn’t know about the lights.

Depending on how you define city, the pueblos in the southwest are way older continuously occupied settlements/towns/cities.

My parents honeymooned in St. Augustine in 1955.

Did you have fun?

That is a Christmas thing. The city decorates for the season.

St Augustine was the first European discovery city in America. 1513. A common myth is the Spanish were met by the Seminole Indians but they were not an American Indian tribe when Ponce de Leon arrived. They became an Indian Nation much later.

Hello all,

Been a long day that didn't have to be. (Actually been online for a bit but kept getting phone calls...Very unusual as no one likes talking to me unless they need something.)

I ventured over on the HOB. Old Jim straightened me out. It is the rankings and seedings that matters and Cal's right there in the thick of things every year...

To give credit where credit is due, he did make me feel better. UK is doing just fine....

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Heated and insulated. Pressure switch went out.

I know most don’t care, at best, but I’ll feast on the return of English Premier League soccer today.

I've been a Newcastle fan since the days of Alan Shearer - my favourite player. Have a friend there plus I love the Ale. I don't pick top teams in any sport to follow generally. I like 'pool because they're not Manchester of any kind. But Haaland is special. I like Fulham because of Dempsey & Donovan playing there. Went to a match some 10 years ago at Craven Cottage.

As you know, Magpies have been mainly down with a couple of relegations, so this year is exciting. Smart buy by the Saudis I think. They paid just $350M vs. the Dodgers owner paying $4.5B for Chelsea. So Saudis can keep over $4B vs. buying Chelsea, invest it at 10% & have $400M/yr for buying players while still keeping the $4B. Their spending on players is showing big time. Hope they hang in top 4. Could be a contender next season.

You following the Wrexham storyline with the American actors buying them? Several part series - on FX I believe.

<- - - - - Bundesliga fan since 1985. For some reason, I've never got into Premier League.

I got into B-liga too when shown regularly for several years, but lost most contact when not aired so much. Dortmund my fav given the Yellow Wall & the way they develop young guys - Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Hummels, Pulisic, Goetze, Haaland, Sancho & now Bellingham. Don't understand why they don't or can't keep them. Completely sick of the Bavarians. Like how the Onions have come up.

Yeah, many folks sick of Bayern München. Most Germans I know pretty well are Schalke fans (Siegerland area).

Onions = Union Berlin? I mean they came out from nowhere.

When they say Union, sounds like Onion to me. Kinda cool that they're the ragtag East Berlin team vs. the well established Hertha who aren't worth a sheet. Hard to believe Berlin doesn't have more & better Bl teams though Berlin metro much smaller population percent of Germany than London metro is of England.

Belated Merry Christmas to the D-League...

Cats really need the Mizzou game tomorrow, Kansas murdered them but they just beat Illinois by 22.

Hopefully we start off the SEC schedule right, really would like to see us 11-3 going up against Bama.

I think the game will be close though.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 42°F and clear. We may top out at 70°F today. Nice.

Southwest Airlines flight cancellations still ongoing. Wow, what a mess.

Yep, ball game tonight. Rafters wants to explode if Cats lose. Go Cats!

Happy Hump Day!

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 25° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will be 53° with mostly cloudy skies.

Have a great day.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning D-League.

It's currently 40° with clear skies and will be 71° this afternoon. Plenty of sunshine. I hope America is thawing out. Enough of this.

I am headed to the gym this morning to work off some of these calories. Have a great day.

 

[warrior-cat]

Morning Legionnaires!

43° with 30-40mph winds. Today's high to be in the upper 60's.

Broke a tooth last night eating a piece of pecan pie. A piece of shell in the pie freshly made by my son who had picked the pecans from a tree near where he lives in Knoxville Tn. The tooth is one that has a filling in it so it is not as strong as the others. Will call a dentist this morning to set up an appointment. So far, no pain.

Son leaves this morning to go back to Knoxville. Had a better visit this time than last. We argued more last time but only once this time. He is a very hard-core democrat and confessed liberal. Believes in socialism and communism. Says the right kind has not been tried yet (sound familiar). Bounced around in college until about 3 or 4 years ago using loans and grants to help pay since high school (now 40). Believes all loans should be forgiven and will be. Lives rent free with an older couple who has an add on to their house. No bills other than loans, cell phone, car insurance, and medical insurance he has with Apple where he works part time in Knoxville.

Enough of that, you guys enjoy the day and God Bless.

Oh and Yeah, IT'S GAME DAY!

Good morning all,

Back at it on this supposed work day. I am at the house working, training, not a thing going on other than I need to pick some stuff up at Walmart I ordered. I will be home today to receive My Darlings cell phone. After today I am off until Tuesday... I am off most days but I show up...

Who knows what win lurks in the hearts of these Cats.... who knows.... Yeah, it "don't" feel good. Go Cats...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. I got cleared for doing more exercise at my two-week post-surgery visit yesterday, so I walked four miles this morning. I feel some soreness but I was told I couldn't hurt the repaired joint so I'm going to look at that like any discomfort that comes with resuming exercise. Still limping. I guess that just takes time.

Cool and clear in the east. Settling into another work day. Cats need a win tonight. I hope something has clicked with what should be a talented team.

Have a good day folks.

 

[BBUK]

A new years desire...... (Can't be a resolution.) That I gain back the anticipation to watch the Kentucky Wildcats Men's Basketball Team....play.... basketball...... I really enjoyed that internal yearning through so many basketball seasons....

I have very little faith in this team.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Game day! My fingers are crossed.

It is a sunny 32°F here and we are supposed to get to 53°. We still have a little snow on the ground but that should all be gone soon. I got out in the snow yesterday and refilled the bird feeders. Those little dudes really hit it hard in the winter and they depend on me.

You all have a nice Wednesday.

Take a listen to some wholesome music... (A little curdled but, are classics...)

 

[BBUK]

WHOA!!!!! TU to be a Cat assistant HALLELUJAH!!!! My New Years desire may be answered!!!

HAHA Time for TU to whip Cal's arse into shape..... IF anyone can, Tyler U can...

THANKS!

 

[TheFrontRunner]

I have very little faith in this team.

I have no faith in them either, been betting against the Cats on whatever the line is most games and winning every time with maybe one exception...Not sure I will bet this one, we are currently 3.5 point favorites...it was easy to bet against the Cats when the Bellermine line was like 25.5 but that this a close line on the road.

I will probably stay away from tonight's line, traditionally a lot of SEC schools seem to play very weak non-conference schedules so it can be difficult to judge some of those teams until you see them in a few SEC games.

 

[BBUK]

Man, I posted more on RR in the one TU thread than I have posted on RR since Cal took a knee...

My New Years desire came early and unexpectedly. BKO is trying to temper expectations but it has nothing to do with that. A UK son that wore his jersey proud is coming home. P_SS on Cal and the rest at this time and P_SS on expectations. I am just happy with some positivity around UK for once. Positivity in general...

@Bkocats (No disrespect my sister from another mister and misses.....)

I respect that my friend, I truly do.
I’m unfortunately a pessimist and have absolutely no confidence in Calipari

Believe me I’m also hoping to be wrong.

The University Of Kentucky basketball heritage started many, many years ago. Here is a very old film clip dating back to 1946 and shows a little of UK's NIT Championship game. The NIT was the "national champion" in those days.

We get a glimpse into a Kentucky practice run by Rupp and Lancaster. There were specific plays for out of bounds plays that the current team might want to take a look at.

They played with a purpose and plan. Today's teams just look like they run around willy-nilly, like they're on a playground and don't really know what they're doing.

Dave was the only working in that photo.😬 It reminded me of a scene I saw on the George Washington Bridge in New York. Traffic was backed up for miles and creeping for hours. When we finally got to the "construction area" we saw two men patting down hot tar to fill a pothole. There were at least 15 men standing around watching with 15 parked trucks they drove to the site. And two poor souls were doing all of the work. I bet it cost $250,000 to fill that little pot hole.

Go Cats!!

13 points in nearly 13 minutes. I'm tired of bitching. It does no good.

No matter what else happens, no matter who wins, Cal has to go... Teams fault, Cal's fault, no one's fault, Cal's got to go....

Best I could do at "dasturbizing" John's memory... "Big Jake"...
