Come on Cats... Show something to give some hope....

Florida is a strange team. I fully expect Kentucky to hammer them back to reality. How they beat Tennessee is also a mystery but you just never know how it will end until you play the game.
If I was betting I put my money on the Cats but I don't gamble.
How long has it been since you've been in the Pike Co. area? You probably wouldn't believe it now. The county clerk told me about 20 years ago that if you added Pikeville, Belfry, and another town I can't remember together it would be the 3rd largest city in KY. The Hwy between Pikeville and Belfry now is a breeze to travel.
My wife's great grandparents (maybe great, great) were from Pike Co. as well...Virgie area.
Seventh grader wins 10,000 hitting all of his shots
My last visit was early 2000's, probably 20 years ago. My last relative up there died in 2000 and I went to his funeral then decorated all of my relatives graves for several years after that. We had a family custom of doing that on Decorations Days, Memorial Day weekend. Everyone I knew from childhood is gone. Either died or moved to Michigan or Ohio. The mines are pretty much shut down too.
Grandpa's property was once owned by Ford Motor Co. A coal mine was under a rock cliff behind his house and a trestle connected it to another mine across the bottom into the side of a mountain. Ford Motor Co shut it down in the 1920's and took down the trestle. He bought the 50 acres but Ford Motor Co. kept the coal rights. He was allowed to take coal out of the mines for his personal use. So I learned early to take a bucket and shovel coal for the Warming Morning stove and fireplaces. It was work but fun for a boy.
Back then it would take half the day to get from Rockhouse Holler to the county seat in Pikeville. Three very large mountains to climb and the roads were narrow and dangerous. Now you can do 80 mph over some of the best highways in Kentucky.

Dang it Storm, now I am going to have to talk to my son and see if they even went!!!!Lol I promise I will get the story straight before I post again! Shiff I know I'm getting old but Shiff this is ridiculous Cord!! I know it was in Kentucky, just got to find out where lol!!
I was watching the very good remake of True Grit with Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn, and the ending song is this Iris DeMent version of "leaning on the Everlasting Arms."
That was my father's mother's - Mamaw Maude's -- favorite song, and hearing it took me back to her funeral in a tiny church in rural Bracken County nearly 50 years ago. Quite a moving hymn.

Oh my!
I grew up in a little Baptist church in Edmonson County. We sang that song often. We had all parts of the song. "Leaning" on Jesus "leaning" on Jesus "leaning on the everlasting arms . . . . ." even though it was not in the lyrics.
Here is a 1966 picture of my little church out in the country:
Bert —it is eerie how much that church looks like the one in Bracken County where my grandmother’s funeral was held. Or maybe not. There must be churches like that all over rural Kentucky.Oh my!

There are many.
I had a Catholic friend from Indiana at the railroad and his catholic church looked just like that. My mom loved Leo because the churches were the same. (they actually were the same church with different dogma)
Nothing personal but I didn't like it...
I've told you guys about my uncle Paul who was a WW2 hero who came home to become a preacher. This was the kind of church he was at most of the time.Oh my!

Honestly the John Wayne version was much better.
Interesting, Bert. Curious, is one door for the men and one for the women, or something else?Oh my!

Yes Sir,
I won't dwell on it but take a side by side look at some comparisons. Even in 69 they didn't try authenticating with western looks no one making the movies actually saw. Appeasement, but human nature may look at it and be pleased they have it better now. Not sure but even the hat is not believable... (Not downing anyone for liking the newer version at all.)
I thought Bridges sounded like he had too much crap in his mouth.
But I'm a Duke fan anyway.
The original for the win.
My Dad grew up in Edmonson County and belonged to a Baptist church. I'll ask him what the name was. He attended Sunfish High School through 10th grade before moving to Louisville.Oh my!

The only part that was better on the new one was that the actress that played Matty did not whine as much as Kim Darby does in the original.
Kim Darby was not even liked by John Wayne and as she grew up she got worse. (She looked the part better but that was all.)
Even Glenn Campbell seemed too rote, you could tell he was acting.
Suspected Chinese spy balloon flying above U.S. shot down off Carolina coast
The suspected Chinese spy balloon spotted over U.S. airspace in recent days was shot down near the Carolina coastline on Saturday, officials said.

Wow they shot a big balloon. Give them a medal.
(Despise the communist news trying to give a glory shot to something like this...)
Crazy day in college basketball...
Tennessee beats Auburn 46-43. Teams were a combined 5-48 from 3...5 out of 48.
Kansas gets beat by 15.
Indiana beats number 1 Purdue. I could never say I was rooting for Indiana but I know a few big Purdue fans and they have been really obnoxious so I do find them losing in such an important game for the state funny.

Okay Cats. Time to lace 'em up tonight and kick butt. Can't afford another home loss. The SEC tournament is only 3 1/2 weeks away (can you believe it) and a bye would be really helpful.
This is the craziest year for college basketball in my lifetime. Anything is possible at this point.
My daughter arrived safely from Knoxville to ATX via Charlotte.
Today, I am the happiest, luckiest most blessed man in the planet.

We are thankful for you Austin. Family is the most important thing on earth. Enjoy her company and make some great memories.
I do hope all is going well for the D-League faithful and those who would be here if they could. I am thankful...
I'm ready for the game. Cats will win this one. Got the speakers and subwoofers turned up, much to the chagrin of my wife. Don't let me down guys.
3 to 1 odds the UNC/Duke game goes into OT.
Shooting this down should sure get someone at least a Silver Star.. Heck they only had to use an F-22... That is a bad mamma jamma balloon...
Granny'd a done it for supper...

Cats have this one. Let's get going ESPN Beat those Gators
Ok Storm, finally got it straighten out, they Hunter in Prestonberg in Floyd co.
No ownership from anything UK at this time...
Too close. Cats looked in total control.
Wallace and Toppin tonight. Never a chance to breathe with this team.
No the doors were just spaced apart. Plus there was another door at the back. The men and women sat together.
How true. Oscar simply had a bad offensive night. UK actually hit free throws well for a change. Plus Florida got hot on the threes in the second half.
