Same. Now watching Meatballs on Pluto.Turned it off, hurts too much. Heart won't take it...
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Damn you're a long way from home.
This is pitiful. How the mighty have fallen.
Oscar and Wallace. That's all this team has.
What a horrible outing. Ugh.
You were right.
Another loss. And the better SEC teams are still to come. I don't know. I just don't know. I miss Kentucky basketball
@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.

National college hoops columnist calls out Kentucky offense
A national college basketball columnist called out the Kentucky offense after a rough start to the SEC opener against Missouri.
Thankfully, we still have a football game to look forward to this weekend.
And I hate it
But as I said on Facebook
Until that fraud of coach is gone I’m done with Kentucky Basketball
I'm not so sure that all the recruits from next year's super class will even make it to campus.That was quick.National college hoops columnist calls out Kentucky offense

You are not alone.
I'm going to the Kansas game in late January. Lower level. Neighbor got tickets but he hasn't told me the cost. I'm guessing at least 300 bucks per ticket. Maybe more. Damn, I'd rather spend that money on something fun.
The over/under on the Music City Bowl is 31.5. That's low but probably right.
Damn...you don't normally see former players or their family be that honest. Good for him.
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.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 25° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 60°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Have you seen this world lately? Pluto is less inhabited.
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.

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.
I'd take the under.
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.Those are powerful words and right on the money.

Sydney McLaughlin just missed out on AP world Female Athlete of the Year on a total points tiebreaker of one fewer first place votes. Happy & sad for her at the same time.
I hear ya. That girl can fly. Amazing athlete.
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.
Hey D League,
It's been quite a long time since I've been on here. I hope everyone is still doing well or at least maintaining. Life can be stressful at times and I'm no exception lately. After watching some of that dumpster fire of a basketball game last night and reading through the comments and post-game festivities, I sure can relate to a lot of UK fans that have seen our program "circling the drain" and witnessing a completely different brand of UK basketball than we're accustomed to.
I was up in Lexington last week for a couple of days, but had to leave early and head back south before that arctic blast hit and froze up the roads. Driving around town to some of the familiar spots sure was fun and nostalgic, but, wow, Lexington has changed a lot in many ways. I hardly recognized the UK campus with all the new buildings and such. And the traffic around town!! Seems like the road system isn't able to keep up with the growth.
Anyway, here's to a happy new year.......

Good comparison with Jesse Stuart. Believe it or not, I was going to mention him too but wasn't sure how many people -- even Kentuckians -- still were introduced to "The Thread That Runs So True" in school. Loved that book. My parents used to have that long poem Stuart wrote, "Kentucky is My Land" up on the wall at home.
As in the words of Patrick Smith "A Sense Of Place". Jesse Stuart had that Sense of Place. He could get to the soul of a Kentuckians like few others. Patrick Smith wrote a fantastic book "A Land Remembered" and a great DVD explained it as a Sense of Place. This is Americana that is disappearing right before our eyes. Things have changed so much a "Sense of Place" is fading fast away.

The last lines of Jesse Stuart's long poem "Kentucky is My Land"
And for the soil of Kentucky,
That is filled with bluegrass beauty
That is not akin to poetry .. But is poetry...
And when I go beyond the border,
I take with me growth and beauty of the seasons,
The music of wind in pine and cedar tops,
The wordless songs of snow-melted water
When it pours over the rocks to wake the spring.
I take with me Kentucky embedded in my brain and heart,
In my flesh and bone and blood
Since I am of Kentucky
And Kentucky is part of me.

My father lived this. Kentucky was his soul and spirit. He was so proud to be called a Kentuckian. We need more Jesse Stuart's in this world.
On to a day in the life of one waiting on ups.....
The UPS driver pulled up in front of my house yesterday and for at least five minutes and really more I heard him in his truck rummaging around. Finally he came out and told me he had too many packages in his truck and he could not find mine. (My Darlings iPhone 14 plus...). Anyway, he told me he would be back later...
Three different calls to T-Mobile with ups then brought on the line promising delivery before 9pm. Of course this delivery needs a signature...
At 9:06pm another three-way call with ups telling me this is expected, they are running late and it could be 10 or 10:30 or later...10:47 and another call...to no avail...
Just got of another 20 minute call 12-4....
Yeah, in all of this I am watching the game until I quit watching it....
Now to write that poem...
Ode to BBUK, and BBUK finally threw a ups worker off the Tallahatchie bridge....and hit the T-Mobile representative...
I am in a good mood....I could fall out of a plane without a chute and I would kiss the ground and know it...(Yes, I know it for a fact.)
Quirks like this are nothing in the grand scheme of life but I could do without them....
just wanted to add to the drama and anxiety...😁😭🫣😕
