UH, uh..... I GIT IT SC............. Oh dang, Oh dang...... Brother SC just give me FOUR MORE FULL DAYS>>>>>>>>>>>> I will have TWENTY YEARS on the job after that!!!

Oh that is me, that is surely me..... My name is Dave!!!!

Give a brother heart palpitations!!!!

This "ain't" EVEN funny....

😅😅😅
😬 😬 😬 😬 😬

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.
 
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.

@Bert Higginbotha ...it looks like I was dumb not place a bet on this game, I should have kept my streak going of betting against Kentucky on the line.

This team may not end up making the NCAA tournament. Bama and Kansas are likely losses...we know Rick Barnes is going to beat Cal at least once this year like always. That is 7 losses counting the 4 we already have and that isn't even considering the rest of the schedule or the SEC tournament. This team will most likely end up with double digit losses and almost no quality wins.

The over/under on the Music City Bowl is 31.5. That's low but probably right.

On BetMGM which is the site I bet on the over/under is 31...31 points is the lowest over/under of any bowl game, I would be scared to bet the under...not because I think there will be a ton of points but a couple of freak plays like a scoop up a fumble and score or an INT for a TD and you probably lose that bet.

That is such a low number I couldn't bring myself to bet the under. I'm not saying I'm going to bet the over but I won't bet the under on that low of number.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 72°F. Slight chance for showers. Another cold front moving in.

What a horrible effort last night. Oscar Combs voiced his displeasure in a Tweet about falling out of top-25. Have not visited Rafters yet. Ha ha, wow,

Southwest Airlines flight disruptions still ongoing. Heard they finally hit at around 50% on departures.

Y'all behave.

Morning Legionnaires!

53° this morning with light winds (20mph is light for us). The high to reach the mid 60's. Supposed to be this way for the next couple of weeks.

Morning workout upcoming (been hit or miss lately) then, off to the dentist to fix or pull the broken tooth (hopefully fix). If not, future implants will be the order of the day.

On the Wildcats problems...Ugh...told my wife this morning that I have already prepared for the collapse of the season so...it is getting easier. Sad.

But God is still in control so, God Bless Ye Merry Gentlemen (You too @Bkocats).

Good Thursday Morning

50° with sunshine and a high of 75° will be in store for today. There is nothing left to be said about our basketball team. Last night my wife commented to me what are they doing? I asked what she meant and she said they do not look like they have been coached. SMH She has a good point. I couldn't answer that simple question. What are they doing?

I have noting to add to the basketball conversation. I trust all are well in mind and spirit.
 
Good morning D-League.

Like all of you I’m shocked by the poor play of the Cats. For my mental well-being I’m taking a couple steps back. I didn’t watch the game, and won’t invest any emotional energy in the team right now. Over the course of 60 years as a fan, this has happened a few times before. Call me a bandwagon fan, and that’s fine. But I just have too many other parts of life demanding my attention to be obsessively angry about being let down by a bunch of 19-21 year olds who could have barely found Kentucky on a map before being hired through NIL. And let’s face it, a step at a time, over 30 years, that’s what college basketball has become.

Hope all else is going well for you folks.

Those are powerful words and right on the money. We got to where we are in college basketball one step at a time.

There is much more to life than worrying about professional basketball played by universities. I have started watching more movies in the evening with my wife. One of my favorites is Cross Creek which is illustrated in the quote below. It is about real life and things I can relate to and look back knowing I walked down that same trail in life.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings was a great author.

She is a lovely writer Sawnee. I love that quote. Change a few words and it describes the way I feel every time I get out of my SUV after leaving the DC suburbs and walk up the cracked concrete steps to the porch with the big swing at the house where I grew up.

She was required writing when I was going to school. Much like Jesse Stuart in her style of writing , her stories were based on real life experiences with the "names changed to protect the innocent". Her book The Yearling was based on a real life story of a youngster who has a deer for a "pet" and the trouble and sorrow it brings to a small community. It is a tragic story that was based on a real life event in Cross Creek. We read this in elementary school.

No one here is a bandwagon fan imo. Most are frustrated and like you want to take a step back and look for the good things in life right now. For me, stepping back keeps the stress level much lower. I have very little expectations for this team so I will expect nothing until they can show a level of winning consistency vs mid to top tier teams.
