Talking Civil war, interesting (to me) segment on Antiques Roadshow from Santa Fe concerning a Turner Society target rifle that was used by a member of a German Union Regiment, the well-known 9th OH. Also had a long knife similar to a Bowie. The rifle and knife were identified as made in Cincy & the rifle was converted from target shooting to real shooting. Valued at around $5K.

Turners were and to a degree still are a German athletic association that included shooting early on. Brought here in 1840's & 50's by waves of German immigrants - including most of my ancestors. They were strongly pro-Union and raised regiments that operated in the German language in the Union Army. Gr-gr-grandpa Brandt was in 28th OH, also Cincy & German. As I've said, he was shot thru the head in VA. There is still to this day a Turner club in Covington with a gym. Attended rat races the night before the Derby there a couple of times.

Wallace out tonight. This team just can't seem to completely get over the injury bug.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Must Win game . I can't imagine losing to Ole Miss

@wildcatdonf

Get well, donfather. Praying for a speedy recovery.

 

[UK82]

Well.... What can you say. Hopefully Wheeler is OK. They'll win this game but it's still the worst team in the league. They've already lost to the worst team in the league, USC. Come on Cats!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Tied at the half. This is Ole Miss. A sorry team. I am afraid UK is not very good.

But good enough to beat Ole Miss.

 

[UK82]

No clue on offense. Streetball .

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Thank the Lord for Reeves

Ole Miss is also missing their 2 leading scorers.

 

[UK82]

Cats putting it together. Yes!

Gppd morning from ATX. Currently 31°F with heavy freezing rain. Significant icing occurring, Reports of 30,000 without power in Austin due to ice and fallen trees. What a mess.

Glad about last night's win. Cats took care of business. Reeves = team MVP, possibly for the season. He went 6-7 from beyond the arc last night.

Happy Hump Day.

Wishing y'all a safe, productive day.

Good morning D-League!

A morning so warm it would make @Sawnee Cat jealous! 62° and a light breeze from off of the river...

 

[Sawnee Cat]

 

[Girthang]

No wait, 26° stiff wind, sleet/snow mix on the ground, and a long, lovely day ahead! Cats won last night, but it doesn't feel like it. RR is fixing to fall into an abyss with the next setback. Who will step in to stop it? Lol

Hope it's a good day for all of you, and I'm hoping to catch up all over the DL this evening. May God continue to bless the D-LEAGUE!

I've got family down there right now that I'll need to check in on. Haven't been following the news at all.

Looked at the stats post game last night and saw that we shot 50% from 3 and thought "awesome!" Then I noticed ONE guy got us there or it was otherwise a horrendous shooting night. A little shocked, but not TOO shocked

Good morning D-League. It's currently 27° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 35°.

Have a great day.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Morning D League

A win is a win. 60° with foggy skies. The sun will take care of that in the next hour or so. The high will be 80°. It is February already. The year is already going too fast. The first thing you know it will be NCAA Tournament time. Are the Cats ready or will they be?

Prayers for all in the ice. Nothing is worse than ice and freezing temperatures. It has been a long time since I was around an ice storm but when I lived in the Georgia mountains they were common. Always bad, especially in those hills.

Nothing much happening here other than I am headed to the gym. Today I work on the shoulder, do some curls and cardiac. The left shoulder is improving and pain decreasing.

Take care all. And WAKE UP if you need to.

Morning D-Legionnaires!

22° this morning with moderate winds and a high in the low 30's expected. Late afternoon expecting freezing rain that is supposed to continue through the night. That was supposed to happen Monday night but...we will see.

Decent game last night and as someone said, "A win is a win" and I will take it. Did fall asleep during the last 6 minutes of the game because I knew we were going to hold on because my prediction in Old Red's prediction thread was UK-75/Ole Miss 67.

Put me on top (for now) in the SEC games predictions leader board.

Good morning everyone.

We didn't get too much snow here and driveway is still mostly clear. It's still right at 32. Sometimes it's colder at higher elevations but sometimes it's warmer.

Great game by Reeves. Oscar, Toppin, Livingston played to their expectations. Wheeler did good offensively for the most part, not so much defensively. CJ disappeared. We had a few needed minutes from some subs.

Wildlife Wednesday....where's Waldo?

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I am going to give this a try. Looks good. I will add a bunch of jalapeno peppers. Real hot ones. They are good for your stomach.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Woke up with about an inch of snow on the ground tha had not been forecast. Pretty.

Glad the Cats got a win. At this point of the season, all you can do is grind ahead, hope to keep getting better, and then surprise people in the tournament from the position of a badly seeded team.

Hope it is a good day for all of you.

 

[Catman100]

Morning folks.

Roads where worse in Lexington this morning but they had school. SMH
Grinded out that tough win last night against mighty 9-13 Mississippi.
Zero faith this team wins the SEC tourney, let alone a natty.
Don't see them gelling into something that changes my mind.

No football this weekend. What do I do?

When you find out, tag a fellow football fan (me) to let them in on it, please

 

[UK82]

9 games left. Halfway through the SEC schedule (6-3). I just checked out the remaining games and it's somewhat favorable for the Cats. I still see some losses probably to UT at home and road losses to Florida and Arkansas. I feel semi-confident about the other 6 games. That should be enough to secure a low NCAA seed. I will agree with Matt Jones. Seeding won't be as important this year given the parity of college basketball. No real clear cut favorites.

Pro Bowl this Sunday if you count that.

No I don't. LOL

 

[Girthang]

The only thing that would make the Pro Bowl flag football game a must see is if their wives or a model of their choice played for them in really flattering uniforms.

Looks like Mt. Rainer. Or maybe Pike's Peak?

lol that would be very watchable.

In the bear pic on this page there are 3 of them. I think you were the one who looked for a bear that wasn't there on another post. See if you can find the 3rd.

CJ simply can't get it together. I can't believe he has been this ineffective all year.

It is Pike's Peak, note the architectural features of that building, it has Colorado written all over it.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

CJ simply can't get it together. I can't believe he has been this ineffective all year.

CJ and I had identical stat lines last night, except I didn't have a turnover and miss two shots and he didn't watch the game from an adjustable bed.

He's let the mental part of the game overwhelm him. He's like that Cowboys kicker who missed five straight extra points right now.

Sad, because the CATS cannot be an effective team without two perimeter shooters nailing shots. It takes the pressure off Oscar., opens up driving lanes for Wallace and gives Toppin some room to maneuver.

God Bless America.... Land that I love...

 

[BBUK]

Thanks. We've been in the Crystal River area the last 3 winters. Love that area, but branching out a bit. Did you hear about the drive by shooting in Lakeland yesterday?

Edit...I can't figure out out how to send a private message on the Rafters? Possible?

You have to be an HOB member. Then you have the ability.

 

[BBUK]

My little brother moved to Lakeland in 2017. He also serves as a junior exec for Publix. Now he owns 3 houses

Personally speaking, I love Lakeland area. First house my little brother purchased was a 1925 remodel. Old Lakeland is just so rustic. Many old-timers told me during my visits Lakeland reminds them of old Orlando before Disney invaded.

City is aptly named. Numerous lakes all over that town. Home prices may be a bit cheaper. Little brother go married and moved to Plant City

Not sure if it is now but Lakeland used to be the home of the Detroit Tigers spring training...

Minus the hot peppers Sir, I could go for that type food for sure....
