Going to retweet this from Alabama loss one last time with this addition. Then I’m going to bed. It doesn’t take Einstein to see what has happened to UK basketball program since 2015 FF. Millions have been spent & most results have been disgusting. Eli, this is now on your plate.

@wildcatnews
Final Score Alabama 78 Kentucky 52 What can I say that’s appropriate? This is not UK basketball. Don’t give me UK standard “this is not acceptable” phrase that brings no positive results. Time for the man in charge - President Eli Capilouto - to address this situation to BBN.

FAA system shutdown. Glad I'm not flying today. This will be a mess

Against the worst team in the SEC.

We are now officially the worst team in the SEC.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Quick discussion with my surgeon went very positive. He believes we caught this in time

Good morning D-League.

Great hearing from you Austin. Keep getting better.

Warrior, I’ll be praying for Benjamin. Things are happening so fast with medical science it isn’t crazy to hope for him to walk.

Nothing to say about the Cats. I have tuned out. And you know what? Life is just as sweet, family interactions just as enjoyable, good food just as savory and music just as engaging. No time to be angry or upset about the Cats - or anything else not threatening my family at this point of life.

Good day back at work downtown yesterday. Actually nice to look around the city. Hoping for another good day.

You all take care.

Morning Legionnaires!

50° with moderate winds and a high in the low 70's expected.

Got a text from my son who has the triplets (boys) last night and as stated before, one has Spina Bifida and is in a wheelchair. He (Benjamin) now 6 years old has been wearing a TLSO (Thoracolumbosacral Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis) brace for 1 1/2 years to help try and straighten his spine. It is working well as the pictures below (before and after) indicate. The after picture was taken yesterday. They are going to fit him with a new brace next Friday to continue the straightening. We are hoping and praying that somehow, one day, he will be able to walk even if it is just braces, but even if not, he has two other brothers his age to support him along the way.

Man I'm sorry to hear this...you know in life, we often get to caught up with ourselves and our own problems...and unfortunately the only way we snap out of the 'woe is me' crap is to hear about people dealing with a journey a million times more difficult than our own.

Great attitude to have. I have settled into the same pattern. Maybe it is easier to do when you don't live in Kentucky and very few UK fans are around you.

Life has taught me if you do not have any control over something then worry is for naught. It is out of your hands. UK basketball is out of my hands.

Great news. I know you are getting excellent health care in Austin , Texas. Our prayers continue for a complete recovery.

Restarted around 8:30a at some airports.

Our local talk radio has a couple of morning guys who try to be funny. Thought I'd pass on one from today. You know it is national diarrhea awareness day. Yeah, it runs in the family. Yeah I know! It's a crappy joke.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 37° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring periods of rain and a high of 54°.

Glad to hear from @AustinTXCat. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Have a great day.

Where is the best place in the Lexington, Bowling Green, Louisville area to get fitted for golf clubs where you can try different brands. My daughter has went through 3 sets of clubs in the past 4 years due to growth spurts and I don't think she has finished growing. When she is done growing I plan to spend the money to get her fitted for new clubs to finish out her high school playing days. She currently plays mainly Cobra clubs but I would like for her to try some other brands to make sure she gets the ones that fit her the best. I know Dicks and some of those places do but honestly I don't trust them as most of the time it seems to be a young kid that may or may not know what they are doing.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Contacted wife and director. All good. Discussed issues with oncologist earlier. Same gal treated me 2012. Must sleep. Running on adrenaline. Back later. Behave

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

Get well @AustinTXCat!

Well guess we can start making alternate plans for March. Number 9 isn't happening this year.

We are a very bad basketball team.

An Old Bumper Sticker From The Past

An Old Bumper Sticker From The Past

Don't get me wrong, I loved Pitino when he was here and think he is one of the most knowledgeable basketball people I have heard of. However, my uncle coached high school and lower-level college basketball for 50 years. He and a group of local high school coaches attended a coaching clinic at UK when Rick was there. The group met him in a hallway one day. He said Rick acted like they were all peons and it was beneath him to waste any time with them.

And that's usually how "they" end up.... A little foresight would have went a long way...

How's that go... Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

Louisville has a Club Champion store on Shelbyville Road. Lexington might have one as well. Highly regarded by Golf Digest.

I posted the old bumper sticker as a joke.lol. I agree with your uncle about Pitino and his entire family. His wife thought she was too good and above living in Lexington. My son was a UK student when he coached and I came up to a lot of games. I had a few interactions with Pitino and he acted like a little banny rooster aka a loud mouth Yankee know it all.

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!

Just saw where the Gulf water temperature is 65°. That is a little warmer than late December but still too cold for us natives.

If you see someone in the water at the beach they are usually Canadian or from New England. Too cold for me.

Air temperature is 78°

Funny you posted this because I was going to say the same thing about Cal. All the times I've been at press conferences, which isnt really that much compared to others i know, you're a face to him. Nameless and void. You don't exist outside the media room, and barely exist inside of it. Then he talks to people like they know nothing about basketball. Everyone is there for him. Its.all.about.him.

It is a character flaw. A serious character flaw. Many have it but it doesn't make it right putting people like that ... "In charge"...

It's frustrating that society elevates people like that rather than the humble folks that help others and help make the world better. I suppose it is success that can warp the humble as well

Success can, it takes focusing on others more than yourself. Some of the same mantra Cal uses but, it seems doesn't practice....

RIP Jeff Beck. Really sad. Been a fan for decades.

May God bless you and yours, and place you all in his hands! He loves you dearly.

Good morning D-League.

Austin, I hope your recovery is going along well.

Lost a very close friend a couple days ago named Michael "Buck" Tharp. Just now feeling like I can talk about it. We'd met almost exactly 30 years ago in Mogadishu where he was working as a corespondent for a news magazine after spending more than a decade in Tokyo for the Wall Street Journal.

We hit it off as former small college basketball players, and after that traveled together to places like Sarajevo and Kosovo and Iraq. He was about ten years older than me, and had served in Vietnam before getting into the news business. He grew up in Kansas and was a Jayhawk fan, and for him I'm glad he got to experience that final championship in March. After living much of his life in Los Angeles, he reconnected with an ex-girlfriend from college in his 50s, took her as wife #4, and moved into a big place she'd gotten in a divorce in Dallas. He lived a colorful life, and is gone too soon. I'll miss him.

Hope you folks are having a good day.
