Rupp Rafters, a lot of anger and disappointment right now.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Sadly, the only game I feel fairly confident in going forward is the Vanderbilt game.
And Vandy beat Tennessee so who knows what can happen. Unless UK mails it in they will beat Vandy in Rupp. I think.
And time is running out. As of today we are out of the tournament. Especially with UNC winning.
Florida losses to Vandy at home.
So many expectations for this season especially after the Bahamas. Granted the competition was sub-par but UK wasn't playing with a full healthy roster either. What happened? On paper this team should have been better than last year's team. The players coming in were better than the players going out. Now, in mid-February they're getting worse each game. Chemistry problems? Coaching? No fire in the belly? I could go on and on. My guess is that the Cats are just too easy to scout. Frustrating season regardless of the cause.
I can't link on this device, but a Palm Coast Florida man shot and killed a hotel employee in nearby Paducah this morning. He assaulted a couple in the parking lot because they would not give him a cigarette lighter. Then he entered the motel and shot and killed a female employee. He fired at others who locked themselves in their rooms. He was arrested at the scene.
Terrible news. So many sick people in the world today.
Victim identified; Florida man charged with murder in connection with shooting at hotel in Paducah
A Florida man is scheduled to be in court later in February following a deadly weekend shooting in western Kentucky.

There is a real cause of this too. It is not accidental...
Yep. I was born and raised in the Paducah area. Thanks.Victim identified; Florida man charged with murder in connection with shooting at hotel in Paducah

I hope Kentucky has and will use the death penalty. Taxpayers of Kentucky should not pay for this man existence the rest of his life. End it
We stop there every year when we are headed to Arkansas trout fishingThis is more my style for eating and presidents. Ronald Regean ate here. The original (and the only one I've tried) is in Sikeston. A lot of ball players from St Louis go down to Sikeston try it. The home of the throwed roll.

I agree. Today was supposed to be a W to pad the record. I just don't see UK getting enough quality W's from these last games to impress the selection committee.

I haven't had a martini in quite a while but I'm drinking them tonight. Dry as dust too.
Watched Cats vs UGA earlier today. Thought for a moment a W was possible. Nope.
Apparently, Rupp Rafters has nearly melted down in response. Wow.
Hang in there.

Morning D-Legionnaires!
Mild weather expected today with 66° as a high and light to moderate winds.
Going to a super bowl party with my softball team as I do every year and will enjoy it better than last year (less stress as the Bengals are no longer in it).
I have settled into a calmer state these past few years in relation to UK basketball when you consider the performance in the last couple of decades. The last 5 or 6 years of Tubby, the 2 years of Gillispie, and the last 4-5 years of Calipari have shown these days the program has lost much of its luster. I have gotten used to the failures and am now a lot calmer during game time and when we lose (much to the delight of my wife and daughter).
Well folks, enjoy your day. For those battling illness, prayers for a speedy recovery and to everyone God Bless.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 36° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see the clouds give way to peaks of sunshine and a high of 54°.
Have a great Super Bowl Sunday.

Good Sunday Morning
I guess I have thought about and talked enough about the poor state of my basketball team. I am convinced they have the talent to do much much better but it takes more than that to rise to the top.
We had some "thunderous" thunder storms last night. The kind that shakes the ground but most of the clouds have rolled away this morning and I can see the light of day. But we do have some wind outside that is a steady 22mph and gusts to 40 or 50. The palm trees are singing. 63° at the moment and it will climb to 64° by noon and then drop into the 50's around 6:00 PM. Only a 4 or 5% chance of rain. It did that last night and lots of it
Take care all and keep the faith on this the Lord's Day. I am thankful.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 33°F and clear here in North Austin. Possibility for a high of 67°F later today.
Could Wheeler and CJ have mad a difference against UGA yesterday? It's a question I cannot answer.
Been up since 4 am. Keeping it short this this morning because installing new SSD drive on another laptop.
Wishing y'all all the best on this fine Sunday.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday.
and last but certainly not least:

@AustinTXCat any nausea yet? If not you are one tough dude. I am going to have to be nicer to you to make sure I don't piss you off! 
It is 40°F here and mostly cloudy, thin clouds but they block the sun.
I am still down on the basketball team; however, I will not have to worry about them losing to a 15 seed! Sometimes you just gotta look on the bright side.
I look forward to my 57th Super Bowl with my wife of 57 years. Sherry and I had been married not quite five months when it happened. We watched it on Eddie and Lauretta Greene's big 19" black and white TV. Ours was only 17".
Have a great Sunday fellows.

I watched the First Super Bowl while in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft Knox. Somebody brought in a TV with rabbit ears. It was probably a 17" or 18". Black and white but we sure had fun. I guess about 10 men gathered around it in the Orderly Room. I was in charge of quarters that weekend.@AustinTXCat any nausea yet? If not you are one tough dude.

That was when we had the NFL vs AFL.
Thanks for asking, Bert. No nausea, but rather drowsy. Find myself nodding off every now and then.@AustinTXCat any nausea yet? If not you are one tough dude. I am going to have to be nicer to you to make sure I don't piss you off!

We don't need RR to tell us that.
Dandy will let him off the drugs.

Good late morning D-League.
Glad to hear no nausea for you Austin. Hang in there.
Felt like Kentucky's season died yesterday - if it wasn't dead already. I'm not willing to waste much emotional energy on it.
Cool and cloudy in the east.
And it is Super Bowl Day. Don't have a lot of interest in it. But by an odd circumstance, I have one daughter in each of the Super Bowl cities today.
My older daughter who teaches at KU is married to a big Chiefs' fan. They live in a Kansas City suburb, and today are hanging at one of the big Chiefs' sports bars in the city.
My younger daughter who lives in DC now, without giving the SB any thought, had decided to spend the weekend in Philadelphia with her college roommate who has a job there. The roommate now runs with a crowd of 20-somethings in Philly and they are all going to watch the game at a big Eagles sports bar in that city.
I'll watch from home with my wife half paying attention. I guess I'll root for the Eagles just because this running feud between my Bengals and the Chiefs have turned me off them in a big way. This should have been Burrow's year.

Good late morning all,
Not been around my phone. Had it commandeered. Not at church today. My Darling and I have a hacking cough. Been to the doctor as it is lingering. Got bunches of medicine, been tested for the china virus (They did that first though we had test kits and I sent them pictures the day before we went.) I guess they must to get the extra "government funding" 😡 . Was tested for the flu too. Nope
Mine is about gone but My Darling and I could imagine sitting in church and having a hacking attack. We'd very well be ostracized and quarantined for nearly life. (I say this guardedly but the one constant here, almost anywhere you are at is a liberal mind-set. Even in church I do not find the deep relationship with Christ versus a casual acquaintance hoping for acceptance into heaven when they die. It seems going through the motions. My Darling and I are not and will never be used to that. We have searched all within driving distance of where we live that practice the worship to the same God we believe in. Not to be found so far.) Note: I am not judging but comparing from where we've been, what we've seen, and what we've been involved in...
In any event, plenty of work to do... no days off for this ole boy. Never has been and doubt I ever will unless it is a mortal sickness. (That's okay.) I just like to sleep in an extra hour or two. If a couple days a week that is gravy. (I was able to do that this morning.)
Yeah what a waste of coaching space that is occupying the head coaching job at the moment. Just criminal BUT, criminals are rarely prosecuted now IF they are guilty. Mostly working stiffs are prosecuted to where they can be bled dry of their hard earned dough from lawyers who haven't worked a day in their lives. It sounds like I am bitter, and I am BUT, I do not hold it in to where it effects loving. I try not to spout it out to where others are effected as well. Just a strategic vent or three...
Dreary here today anyway. Have a joyous day and give thanks. I will and do....
Hope to type more later and lighten it up a bit.

The little lady was arranging with a freight company to make a delivery to our house the other day. They asked if anyone in the house had covid. She's meaner than I am. Mentioned hippa to them and said, "Besides, it's none of your damn business." I'd of just said no to end the conversation.
Went over to RR to read and support with a few likes here and there to those I have known for a long while. Getting ready to work on the taxes again... not much headway so far. (I have all the information I need now too, just cannot get motivated to do them.) May watch a John Wayne movie and see if I can get into a better frame of mind......
Oh My Darling has an appointment Thursday to review her MRI she has tomorrow evening. I just received a robot call and the bot got all into covid. The message was WAY TOO LONG..I hit #1 and it stated thank you for confirming your appointment....

While not my first watched Super Bowl the 1981 Super Bowl (Bengals first) was watched on a beach at Ft. Sherman Panama. We (320th FA Ft. Campbell) were there as a unit going through the JOTC (Jungle Operations Training Center) school and took the day off to watch the Super Bowl.
HA, drinking green tea and lemon... for the earth (quasi) health nuts the green tea is "organic". The lemon is the 100% bottled kind. It is sour but good. Do not do sugar except in cakes, pies, and sweets.
Bought My Darling a couple boxes of emergen-c or whatever. the name is.. we shall see...
No dog in the superbowl...

Thanks BBUK. You got me going. I share your views.
What is "organic"?
I was raised on a farm. We used chicken, hog and cattle shit for fertilizer to spread on our land. We also used 'bought' phosphate and a few other things. I guess if we bought the phosphate, dug up outside Tampa, Fl, we could not claim "organic". Is that correct?
The definition of "organic" is:
Produce can be called organic if it's certified to have grown on soil that had no prohibited substances applied for three years prior to harvest. Prohibited substances include most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Do you want to eat produce that the insects left for you?
What are "synthetic fertilizers"? Being a failed chemist I know all about this stuff. If you go to your garden center and buy a bag of fertilizer it will usually contain a source of phosphate, potash and nitrogen. Having called on fertilizer companies at the railroad, so I could haul their products, I know where they get the shit. They dig up the phosphate and potash from animals that lived millions of years ago. They get the nitrogen by using air and supercharging it with electricity to bond the nitrogen atoms into an association that they don't like and the plants take that energy to make FOOD. It is called "synthetic" fertilizer because of a bunch of idiots that could not pass an organic chemistry lab if their damned lives depended on it.
I am brilliant. I got an "A" in organic chemistry.
Now let us get to pesticides: Do you want to eat your produce with bugs? How many worms do you want to knock off your lettuce before you make your salad? How many rows of corn do you want to leave to avoid eating a worm when you are eating corn on the cob? Do you like eating corn on the cob that includes the juices of some wonderful worm? Of course the worm could add a little protein, so go for it EPA types.
In the last 200 years the "West" (with no help from asia, africa et.al.) just us old racist Europeans and Americans, have come up with solutions to where we can feed over 7 billion people on this earth. I was told in 1964, my first year in college, that the earth could not sustain 4 billion humans. Modern agriculture and science is now feeding nearly double that and in the evil "West" one of our biggest problems is obesity. Why? ANSWER: Western science.
So I protest every time I can't find a regular product that is not "organic" or "natural". I want to eat good stuff not half eaten crap that the bugs left. I love clean phosphate, potash and nitrogen fed food. I love food that has been protected from bugs and disease by pesticides. I want all these retards to eat "organic" or "natural" until they get sick and die. Leave the smart folks alone.
Folks, I just opened up ESPN and the first picture tells you how you beat UK.
Both hands on a player is a foul.
Look at this and recall that this was not a UGA foul. UGA got more than double the free throws to UK.
The SEC refs suck.

Sir,
I was in the bug business for about 20 years (In Kentucky) to include owning and selling my own business. I had the same sentiments as you, exactly the same sentiments.
The key was always not to be stupid with pesticides. Use just a little common sense. I kept bugs from coming in versus using sprays to kill them once they got in, unless they were already in..
Do people ever look at "organic" food. Laughable to compare some good common sense pesticide usage versus the nut jobs whose only motivation is really profit. (Of course you get the hangers on that think they are saving the planet. I wonder where pesticides "really" come from? Must be from out of this world because they cannot be naturally created... I will stop, I will stop but I could go on...
It seems everything that is made "better" is tons more expensive, I wonder why...

I usually make a pot of chili for Super Bowl but this year I just don't feel like putting forth the effort. Pizza delivery sounds like a better option.
