It was like pulling teeth but UK got the win. I hate this playing not to lose and micro managing by Cal late in the game.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Don’t think Cal substituted in 2nd half. Don’t see that turning out good.
You guys probably get tired of me talking about boxer dogs, but your story reminded me of this. It is said if the dog world had a football team, its linebackers would be boxers. If they wanted to take you down, they would run at you and jump like a football player making a tackle. They say a sixty pound boxer can hit with enough force to take a 1200 pound horse off its feet. Augie accidentally got me in the left knee before he was full grown. My knee hasn't been right since.
It would be nice to get Wheeler and CJ back just for the back-up minutes and extra fouls. They'd be rusty but I'd rather have a full roster.
Has there been a game this year when the full roster was healthy? I don't think so.
Actually it's been years.
UK hasn't had a strength coach worth crapola in how long??? I guess the boys make too much money now to take it further... Who knows...
Remember that S/C coach under Rick Pitino? Wow, dude was a doggnne stud and a half.
Good morning D-League. We currently have a light rain and 60° here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring a mix of clouds and sun and a high of 76°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 82°F. Heck, we topped out at 89°F yesterday.
Last night's game: Happy for the W over Gators, but seemed more dodge ball than basketball. Just a weird feel. Seems like ball stayed more in front of players than above their heads.
3 games left in regular season: 2 home (Vandy, Auburn) and one road (Ark)
Neurology cleared me to fly yesterday. Watch out KY, FL, TN and Europe.
Back to work today.
Wishing y'all another happy, safe and enjoyable day.

Yeah, my wife is still limping a little, says her right knee is sore.
Never get tired of talking about dogs. They truly are man's best friends imo.
Morning D-Legionnaires!
28° this morning with 25-30mph winds. Mid to high 40's expected today.
Another win in the books and with one more we solidify an at large spot in the tourney imo. We will get that and more I believe. Would not have thought that 2 weeks or so back.
Looks like another ho-hum couch potato day for me. My student has strep so no training for her today. Will get my regular training in today and then catch a wave and surf the tube for a good movie or 2.
Well, you guys enjoy the pre TGIF day and God Bless. @AustinTXCat keep on keeping on.
Good Morning D
Currently 64° with partly cloudy skies. The sun will soon be up and get us to our high of 87°. 3% chance of rain and a slight but steady breeze off of the Gulf. Nice.
@AustinTXCat Great news from your neurosurgeon, you are going to win this one. Your mention of Europe reminded me I have let my passport expire. I will correct that ASAP.
Cats won but their defense left a lot to be desired. They better tighten that up before tournament time. 3 regular season game to go.
Tonight I have another concert to attend. Looking forward to it, it is down at Indian Rock. Should be a good one. Take care all, Hope the coffee is good. Mine is.

Good morning all,
Thankful for brother ATXC's report.
Brother Sir SC reminded me of this picture... My Darling and I have had so many moments like these...
Never forget who is walking with you. God Bless you all...
Working from home today.... I am thankful...

Great picture BBUK. I have heard sermons preached on footprints in the sand. The footprints can make a powerful statement.Good morning all,

The picture I posted is Clearwater Beach at sundown.
Yes Sir... It is powerful. This was in Norfolk Virginia at a beach there... I was working there but took My Darling with me. This was actually in late October or November. Unusually warm ... We were wearing light jackets but could not resist that day together, just.... being...
Good morning folks.
Grateful for a Cats' win. Any SEC road win in late February is one to put in the bank and head back to Lexington.
We're supposed to get some freakishly warm weather today. Whatever. Better than buried in snow, though I will confess that I sorta like winter and miss any real trace of it this year. Spring is always sweeter after being in the freezer for a couple months.
Hope you all have a good day.

Guess what letter the contestant chose? Nope you're wrong. She chose a "g". Obviously blanked out.
That was a GOOD ONE!!!! 😅 😅 😅
A photo my son posted from the game last night...
We got a lot of wind and 1.32" of rain. It is 70°F here on our way to 74°F and partly cloudy.
I just finished editing the Florida game. This firmly puts UK in the top four at the moment for the double bye in the SEC Tourney. With this team I am not sure they will continue to be in the top four, but UK should win the two home games, but I though that they would beat USC at home. Dud! I would bet Arkansas in the last game. They will be packed and looking for blood. I think A&M is living a charmed existence on a very favorable schedule. I expect them to lose a couple late.
Enjoy you Friday eve.

This morning was great for pruning before Spring - mid-60's & sunny. Pygmy crape myrtles survived the night of near -10 Christmas Eve morn. Was worried but the stems are green inside after the cut. Spreading roses already leafing and sending out shoots. Rose of Sharon tree just needed branches taken back from house. Flowering hydrangea were pretty easy. Still, it was two hours later & I needed a nap.
Did your son say anything about the crowd. Looks like a lot of empty seats. Florida does not draw good basketball crowds but the Kentucky game always seemed to be packed. It always was when I attended with as many if not more UK fans the Gators.A photo my son posted from the game last night...
It was a tough place to play.
Says 9540 for a 10,133 capacity.
I think that was a stretch. Like when they say Rupp has 21,000 with most of the upper arena empty.
Maybe they count the janitorial staff and people who sell tickets too. Plus the players and coaches for both schools.
Spring is in the air. Our March flowers are blooming big time.
I'm just the messenger of data on UK site.
Florida always lies about attendance, just like Duke.
In that photo you can nearly come up with 20% of the difference between capacity and announced attendance. In that one section, and those are good seats, in the picture there were 90 empty seats.
I beat you that the turnstile count was less than 7500.
Apologies Sir,
Been at my desk but did not have this open. He didn't say anything but looking at the picture it was pushing being half UK. (I know Florida has blue too.) My son was on the opposite side (Of course) from the picture so I imagine lots of UK people on his side as well...
I was watching, when she said g, it's like you have got to be kidding me!!!!!!Guess what letter the contestant chose? Nope you're wrong. She chose a "g". Obviously blanked out.
I read about this on Fox News site. I know Wheel Of Fortune is taped several weeks in advance but was this aired recently?
Some trees are flowering out here in Louisville. Way too early.

Great seats for the concert. 9 rows from the stage and in the center.
Should be excellent. Beautiful auditorium

Hey guys. Back with another genealogy post. It's been a big hobby of mine for a few months now. Anyway, I started my tree on ancestry a few weeks ago and have made a HUGE discovery. If you can recall I made a post on here last fall/early winter about being related to a man in the 6th Kentucky infantry CSA. William Steenbergen. Well he was related closely to Robert PENDLETON Steenbergen. My 6th great grandfather. And would be my 1st cousin.
Anyway, Robert Steenbergen's father married an Elizabeth GAINES. Of the famous Gaines family of Virginia. And her Mother was Isabelle Pendleton. (Which I'm assuming is where the Pendleton middle name came for Robert). Isabelle's brother was John C Pendleton and he had a child named Robert E Pendleton. Who then had a son named Edmund Pendleton II. Who then had a son who grew up to be a brigadier general for the Army of Northern Virginia. William Nelson Pendleton my 3rd cousin 8x removed. Who was General Lee's chief of artillery. He had a son as well.....and guess who he was? None other than the famous confederate officer Alexander Swift ''Sandie'' Pendleton....my 4th cousin 8x removed.
''Civil War Confederate Army Officer. His father was William Nelson Pendleton, a minister and future Confederate General, who settled his family in Maryland from 1844 to 1853. Educated at home and in a private school, at age 13 Alexander Pendleton enrolled in Washington College, (now Washington and Lee), at Lexington, Virginia, where his father had accepted a parish. An excellent student, he belonged to the same literary society as Thomas J. Jackson, then on the faculty of the Virginia Military Institute. Following his graduation in 1857, he taught at Washington College for two years. At that same time he enrolled at the University of Virginia to earn a Master's degree. After entering the Provisional Army of Virginia as 2nd Lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers on May 17, 1861, he left school without completing his studies. A week later he reported to Jackson, then a Colonel in the Confederate army, at Harpers Ferry. In July, Jackson requested him for his ordnance officer, and from the 19th of that month until his death he served as a capable, well-liked, and highly respected staff officer to Jackson and his successors. Historians today call him the most capable staff officer in the whole Confederate army. He enjoyed a close relationship with Jackson, whose intensely religious nature he shared. When his commission in the Virginia expired, Jackson arranged to have him appointed 1st Lieutenant in Confederate service on November 30, 1861. He served at that rank though the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862, winning Jackson's approval for manning a field piece at Kernstown when he saw its gun crew killed as he returned from carrying orders to Jackson's subordinates. Again Jackson interceded on his behalf, securing for him a promotion to Captain, in June 1862. Illness kept him out of the Second Bull Run Campaign, but he returned to duty in late summer holding a temporary appointment as Assistant Adjutant General of Jackson's II Corps. Jackson depended on his ability to convey his orders clearly and concisely, in routine paperwork and under battlefield conditions. Most of Jackson's battle reports after First Bull Run were written by him, whose efficiency resulted in a promotion to Major and permanent assignment to the adjutant generalship, on December 4, 1862. The two men became almost inseparable. It was he who dressed Jackson's body for burial after his death from wounds he received at Chancellorsville, and he was one of the pallbearers at Jackson's funeral. On succeeding Jackson as commander of the II Corps, Lieutenant General Richard S. Ewell advanced him to chief of staff with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early requested him for detached duty in the Shenandoah Valley in December 1863, and again the following June. On September 22, 1864, 3 days after the Third Battle of Winchester, he received a mortal gunshot wound to the abdomen at Fisher's Hill as he tried to check an advance on the Confederate front. Buried near the battlefield, his body was later exhumed and sent to his family in Lexington, Virginia. On October 24, 1864, his parents and his wife of 9 months attended his reburial near Jackson's grave. One month later his only child, a son, was born.
According to Wiley Sword's 'Confederate Invincibility', his last words were "It is God's will; I am satisfied."
Pendleton was an inspired choice Jackson prized Pendleton's intelligence, attention to detail, and boundless energy. When asked for frank assessments of several lower-ranking officers, Jackson replied, "Ask Sandie Pendleton. If he does not know, no one does." A. Cash Koeniger observed that Pendleton was one of only a few officers, most of them "notable for their pronounced faith in God" as well as for their devotion to duty, who got along well with the notoriously irascible and judgmental general.
Jackson recommended Pendleton for promotion to captain just after the end of the Valley Campaign. Pendleton, with Jackson at the Seven Days' Battles during the summer of 1862, missed the Second Manassas Campaign in August on sick leave, but returned to duty in time for Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North and the Battle of Antietam on September 17. After being slightly wounded at Fredericksburg in December, Pendleton was promoted to major and assistant adjutant general in the Army of Northern Virginia's new Second Corps, commanded by Jackson. He was already among the most respected staff officers in Lee's army.
Pendleton was on another part of the battlefield, and not with Jackson's party on the night of May 2, 1863, when it was accidentally fired on by Confederate pickets at Chancellorsville. Jackson was wounded and died a few days later following the amputation of his left arm. "God knows," Pendleton later told Jackson's wife Mary Anna, "I would have died for him."

Also one of Sandie's sisters. Married the 2nd cousin of Robert E Lee. A potential relation to Lee? Will have to keep researching.
