LSU and Miss St wins really closed the gap. Tigers pounded Boilermakers.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Good morning from ATX. Currently 61° and partly, cloudy heading to 75°F, We hit 83°F, a record yesterday.
I guess celebratory gunfire got outta control NYE. Some little kid nearly hit. Assholes.
Spate of local food truck thefts lately. Those things are expensive.
Y'all behave.

Good morning D-League. Back to reality today.
Prayers for the Bills player who collapsed last night. The morning reports are somewhat encouraging.
I need to settle into work so I will wish everyone well and check in later.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 59° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring occasional showers and a high of 70°. What's difference a week makes in the temperatures.
Have a great day.

Morning Legionnaires!
Prayers for Damar Hamlin. Was watching the game when it happened. Probably need to just call it a draw and leave it be.
Not too much going on outside of morning workout today except loading up a trailer of old stuff (no longer functional or broken) and going to the local dump to get rid of it. Weather will comply, mid 60's, sunny and light wind.
Those of you working out there stay safe and to all God Bless.
Oh, and yeah, IT'S GAME DAY!
Nice image, 41102. Everyone should visit the Louvre at least once, even if you find the Frogs a pain in the ass. Went there on a lovely September day in 1990. I was with the woman who became, and still is, my wife, and whom I am still wildly attracted to. But I will say this just among us -- there were more beautiful women floating around the Louvre that day than I can remember seeing, to use an strong example, walking around Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on a summer day in the mid-1990s. And that is saying something.Good morning D-League. It's currently 59° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring occasional showers and a high of 70°.

In short, I don't remember the works of art on the walls, I remember the works of art walking the halls.
Warrior - That was my initial thought -- call it a tie and cancel. But the more I think about it the more impossible that seems -- as do all possible solutions.

If they call the game a draw, it immediately eliminates the Ravens as Division Champs -- basically giving the title to the Bengals for canceling a game. (as it stands now, the Ravens can win division by beating Cincy if the Bills do too.) And it POTENTIALLY could determine the 1 seed in the AFC - a huge edge you play all season to win.
But what if you decide to play the game? The regular season is over in five days. No way the Bengals and Bills can play TWO games that fast - if they did and someone else got seriously hurt the league would face its worst crisis ever. And you can't push back the playoffs easily, or have playoff teams playing games in that gap -- that's why the bye is so critical.
It'll be interesting to see what the league comes up with.
How many of the D remember the Detroit Lions WR collapsing on the field and dying, I think it was in the 70's?
Chuck Hughes. Only on-field death in NFL history. Tragic. Heard about it.
I have to give kudos to Rooster........I am but an amateur and he is.........well.......an expert.........I wish that I had someone with his background on my GPS experiments......I am not smart enough to understand all that I know.....
Good rainy day from Smiths Grove. It is 61°F here now and we are supposed to get to 65° in the afternoon. So far we have .41" of rain. We are under a tornado watch until 11am CST.
I don't follow the NFL, but the heart problem to Damar Hamlin is shocking. I did not specifically know anything about the kid but the interviews on the news indicate that he is one fine young man. May God bless him and hopefully he can get back to football.
I don't know what to expect of out Cats tonight, I am just scared!

I took the Director to Europe for our 35th anniversary............I had been in England for months and she flew over and met up with me. She thought we was staying at my daughter's place.......we did but we also spent ten days in Paris.........I tried to get tickets to the Louvre and was told that they were sold out for months............we got up one morning and got on a bus just to ride the circuit and look around......when I saw the Lourve coming up we decided to get off and look around........we walked into this big pavilion and was wandering around............. There were two women standing in line..............there was a ticket office right there so I went over inquired about tickets as the two women in line said they had bought their tickets........bought two tickets........went over and got in the line.....(3rd & 4th persons). We spent the day there..........for the first 45 minutes we were pretty much in front of the crowds........saw a lot of great art including Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.........If we get the chance we would like to go back and spend several days looking through the Paris museums.........I know zero about art but I do enjoy looking at it......Good morning D-League.

2.6" of rain in the last 24 hrs here just east of Louisville International Airport.......
Yeah a lot of rain. There's a flash flood warning until noon.
Sounds like Hamlin is doing better. Thank God.
Not trying to be Skip Bayless here, but wtf is the NFL going to do about that game?

I'm good with eliminating the Ravens as division champs.
Now if they are going to play the game it would have to be by at least tomorrow or middle of next week to give teams at least a little time to recover. But next week would screw up preparations for the playoff schedule. A real dilemma here with playoff implications.

Yeah, but the NFL will never do that. And if someone like KC gets screwed on the No. 1 seed because the Bills got a free tie? The whining would never end.I'm good with that eliminating the Ravens as division champs.
The NFL is apparently considering adding a 19th week and pushing back the start of the playoffs.
I guess you could do that and keep the Super Bowl on the same date - just eat that unnecessary extra week between Conference Finals and SB...
Yeah, I was joking anyways. I knew they would have to come up with a comparable solution. Pushing back the start of the playoffs will still screw up a lot of plans for fans.
Like the idea of eating up that extra week but, I wonder if that was really the intent of the extra week. A buffer for unforeseen problems. More structured towards weather (given time of year) than injuries of course.

Thanks for the kudos.
I was taught to fish (sit) then to read and given books to read. More important, I had to learn when to shut up. Then TVs came along and I peeped through the ventilation perforations on the rear panel to see the little people and it was glowing tubes of orange wires. I was confused, saved a few years later. By that time I was a fledgling biologist. Later I realized economy/ecology were the same word just different toolset. The GIS/GPS stuff came 30 years later. It was mapping using new tools with long eyes. I tried real hard not to choose. Still struggle with the cost of neglect of my own choosing. A friend explained my ears grew too slow.

Sir,
If you chase around "paderjizz" in flight, youse a bird brain extraordinare....
Me, I'm just simple-minded....
Yes, sir! Got us a game tonight! Go Cats!Go Big Blue!
Good afternoon D, read Colossians 3. Well the tornado sirens went off at 3:30 this morning, we were under a warning for about an hour, just makes us nervous now! Looks like we have 5.51" of rain with more to come later
Best first half of the year minus a couple of bad calls when UK was starting to take control.
I posted too soon. We went to stall ball about 10 minutes out from the end.
Cal needs to stop playing not to lose and play to win. Geeze we had them when the score was 60-50 and then UK quit playing. I don't understand it.
I haven't been able to relax with a double digit lead for a long time because it seldom lasts. That unexpected Toppin 3 was huge.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take the win but the box score is disturbing. Wheeler, Oscar, Wallace and Toppin accounted for 65 of the 74 points. Livingston had 5 points and 1 rebound in 29 minutes. The only 2 that played off the bench were Collins (9 minutes) and Reeves (14 minutes) for a combined 4 points and 1 rebound. This team is not that deep. Thiero and Ugonna are young projects, Ware is Ware. CJ and Reeves seem to be regressing and Collins is a no-show. I think the talent is there but it just hasn't developed yet.
Good night all...off to the DC VA in the morning for my regular treatment... Will work from home after that...
Good morning from ATX. Currently 46°F, clear and calm. We may hit 73°F before today is over.
Hate saying it, but this team is not that good. @UK82 is right. Box score is indeed disturbing. Double-digit leads disappear quickly.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Took LSU as a 10.5 point underdog...for 2 reasons...one, I don't see us beating many half way decent teams by 11 and the second reason...Cal takes the air out of the ball.
When the Cats were up 8 or 10, I wasn't nervous about my bet...I am always nervous this team might still lose the game because at the end UK/Cal is going to let them back in the game.
When we got up 10 I thought...'we will end up winning by only 4 or 5.' Turned out it was only 3 points, I should have lost my bet IF Cal had the mentality when he gets a lead of 'we are going to step on their throats and beat them by 17' but he doesn't do that so that is one reason to beat against him on the line.
I'm glad we won, but Toppin isn't going to play that well every game. This team better get use to trying to win close games, I don't think we are going to win many easy ones. Game was a must win for our hopes of making the NCAA tournament, had we lost to LSU with Bama and Tenn as 2 of our next 3 games our record could have got close to .500 real quick.

31° this morning with 5-10mph winds. Today's high in the mid 50's and sunny.
Don't have high expectations for this team yet, but if we play the whole game like we did the first half last night my expectations will get higher. If Toppin can get consistent and play to the level he has the last two games with Livingston and Reeves hopefully living up to their potential we can make some noise. Wheeler will look better if they do because I believe he tries to do too much as it is right now. Also, as the season progresses and Wallace gets more experience, I believe he will be the go-to guy in tight situations.
I am finished
now.You folks have a wonderful and Blessed day.
There's a fable about a fox and a scorpion. The fox is about to swim across the river and the scorpion asks for a ride on his back. The fox says, "But you will bite me, and I will die!" The scorpion says, " I would not do that because we would both drown." The fox relents, but halfway across the river, the scorpion bites the fox. As they are drowning, the fox asks, "Why did you do that? Now we will die." The scorpion answers, "I couldn't help myself. I'm a scorpion. It's what I do."
Cal is a grinder. It's what he does.
