Good morning everyone.
@berniecarbo Animals are not stupid. It doesn't take them long to figure out a safe place or a dangerous place. I always loved to visit Paducah Shooters when I made the 8 hr drive to the western end of the state.
A few nice upsets as usual in the opening round. I did watch a bit of the Bama and Duke games. Penn State may be the team to root for other than UK. I've enjoyed watching them this month. I bet Cal is nervous this morning. I can't even imagine if................
Babysitting day mixed with some basketball and packing....meeting tomorrow afternoon and then spending the night with my parents.
I hope everyone has a great day.

MORNING D-LEGIONNAIRES!
34° this morning with the high in the mid 50's expected for the day. Good amount of rain and north winds blew through yesterday afternoon bringing a little cooler temperature. Next couple of nights below freezing temps on tap with moderate winds. Old man Winter not ready to relinquish control yet.
Did not watch any games yesterday per say, just bounced around watching some games for a few minutes at a time. SEC did well I suppose, but they were all higher seeded so we will see what happens next. Not getting my hopes up for UK, never know who will show up for the game, Jeckell or Hyde.
Well, you guys enjoy your Friday, (wife took day off so...shopping in "store" for me today) and God Bless.
Storm, you are right, they are not stupid! When I played golf, (well attempted to) there was an 13 point buck that stayed on one of the holes during hunting season, the only time he would move is when teed off!
Good Friday Morning D
Back inside the house to get some more coffee and check in. It is sunny with 52° and 0% chance of rain. The high should reach 83°. A couple of surprises yesterday. Virginia blew another opener. I had picked Texas A&M.
Happy St Patrick's Day and boy does that corn beef and cabbage look good. My ancestry came from Northern Ireland, across the North Channel from SW Scotland, but we still celebrate with the other Irish.
The Cats take the stage tonight. I hope the Good Cats show up. It is important they win today in more ways than one.
I am thankful @AustinTXCat is improving. One day at a time. I have some more messing around outside and I am certainly going to try and to make some corn beef and cabbage today to match that delicious picture from Austin. Made me hungry after a nice breakfast a little earlier.
Take care all, Go Cats

Yes, Shooters Supply in Paducah. I've been there several times. That area and really all of Paducah's west side has changed over the years. The area where Ky Oaks Mall is used to be a huge peach orchard. Picked a few peaches as a kid. I hated it when the peach fuzz mixed in with your sweat. Itched really bad.
I got to know Phyllis McCutchen (one of the original owners) pretty good and got to duck hunt with her grandson Clint years ago when he was a kid. I haven't seen him since but he has got to be in his 30's now. It's been many years since I've been there.
When they were building I-24, when they weren't working, I'd get up there and run to the Ohio River and back. Great quiet place to run and I had it to myself. I don't really know any of the folks at Shooter's Supply personally, but they've always been pretty fair with me.
OK Cats it doesn't get any more urgent than this. It's been four long years since an NCAA victory. Now is the time. Go Cats!
Close Joe but you are a little early. But we appreciate the thought.
I think we'll win. But I must admit that I'm getting a little anxious.
If we lose there will be some miserable souls here on RR. I'll probably avoid this site for a while if we blow it tonight.

Sir,
I'd laugh...................................IF, it wasn't so VERY TRUE!!!!
I think we win too Storm. If not then no way am I going anywhere near RR.
Can the Cats do something they have NOT done this year? Make some shots AND play some lock down defense.... This team should really be able to defend.... Team Defense....
Only one real statement Dickie (The call him Dick.) V... every made that I ever really liked...
Talking back when Tubby was the coach (If forget what season)
"The only defense better than UK's is Tampa Bay's...."
Go CATS!!!

Brother Storm,
This is not RR.... (Thank the Lord...) This is the D-League....
(Whew, I left RR, about 99% anyway a long while ago.)... Just too many trolls and not enough troll policing.... (I guess management decided they needed the participants, be darned what they brought with them...)
hopefully it doesn't turn out big that providence was able to cut in from 11 to 7 in the last minute with a couple big threes. good first half though.
Providence has a wee bit of foul trouble. Could play out down the road.
How is it when Cal calls a TO at end of 1H, that the announcers know UK should foul late to prevent a shot but apparently Cal & his players don't have that figured out?
Purdue not going deep in the tourney was probably one of the easiest predictable things coming in but I thought they would at least win the first one haha.
One for the books for Oscar. Toppin and Reeves had a hell of a game as well.
The 1-16 matchup, the new 5-12 upset pick.
Have a peaceful and joyous night. Almost Christmassy...
Oh, I got slicked out of watching the game... Nuff said...

Watching the Kansas State game. Good match-up for the Cats. They can definitely win.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 49°F and cloudy. Decent rain chance this morning. Today's high may reach 56°F.
How about our Wildcats last night? Loved the win. Oscar, Reeves and Toppin played huge. Next up: Kansas State.
Yesterday, I actually slow-cooked corned beef, cabbage, small potatoes and carrots. Tasted great this morning. Lunch now covered for part of next week. Plan on cooking other dishes later today or tomorrow.
Feeling much better this morning. Mouth pain nearly gone. If I can only get rid of neuropathy and cramps.
Plan on riding bus over to Trader Joe's later this morning. Pick up a few items. Taking my 1960s-era Swiss Army backpack.
Wishing all a wonderful Saturday.

Good morning everyone.
A big collective sigh of relief all over KY last night. Not the best shooting night, but a Big Ole W. Some high points...Oscar's rebounding, Reeves 3 pt shooting, Toppin's FT shooting, and Wallace's drives to the basket. No need to dwell on the low points.
@BBUK...RR is like having peanut butter in the house while on a serious diet. It will call your name until you give in. I'll take a peak in a minute....not much time.
Meeting in central KY this afternoon and I'll spend the night with my parents afterwards. I think someone is bringing sloppy joes.
2:40 Eastern on CBS Sunday afternoon.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Mr. Carbo, I helped build the bridge on I-24 there by the mall just a few years ago. Dawson Bridge Company wanted me to go with the company to Eastern Kentucky for their next job, one of the bosses too me where we were going, the sun came up at 11:50 and went down at 12:10! I told him let me think about it, NO! GOD had other plans for me.
Good Saturday Morning
A little warmer this morning at 68° and the high will be 78° This afternoon we have a 72% chance of rain. We can always use rain, never enough for this part of the world.
The Purdue loss may be the biggest upset in NCAA history because of their opponent. FDU did not win their conference or their conference tournament. The winner was not eligible to participate so they got the bid. It was a total mismatch with speed vs. Purdue's plow horse basketball. When a quick teams get hot they can beat you. And they did.
Speaking of water last year I had a deep well drilled and a few days ago decided to test it. I use it only for irrigation and to fill my pool. I was surprised at the purity of this well. The TDS was 22 and anything under 300 is excellent. No bacteria was detected. Good water is a blessing.
I trust all have a great day and it sure feels better waking up to a win in the NCAA. I hope everyone enjoyed their corned beef and cabbage. We sure did. It took 3 hours to cook it but it sure was good.

That must have been a bridge in my area. Dad still tells everyone when where I live gets brought up in conversation...."The only place he knows you can see someone's backyard by looking out the skylight". He's not far from the truth. lol
Good morning folks.
Fun night last night watching games with my son. Reminded me of the glory days between 2010-2017 when he was young.
Cats did what you have to do, grind out an opening game win. Reminded me of the Princeton game in 2011 when Knight had to hit a last second shot or 2014 when the 8-9 game with Kansas State was a grind.
Good day ahead. We’re having a nice family lunch at a favorite restaurant. Then my son and I are going to the Wizards-Kings game. Kings have Fox, Monk and Lyles so we can root hard for them.
Hope you all have a good day.

Could be seen as the world of CBB is getting closer to the parity talk that has been circulating the last 10 years or so seeing that in the last 5 years there have been 2 upsets of the 1 seed by 16 seeds (first in history of the tourney) or...those were two of the worst 1 seeds in NCAA tourney history. 12-5 upsets came yearly as did 13-4's. There does seem to be a shift in the CBB world as most of the Blue Bloods (Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Indiana,) have struggled in recent years. I include Duke because without K and the love from the nation they too would have struggled worse without the help of some favoritism. I see them falling off more in the next few years. Parity? Perhaps.
The one thing for us is, we will not get back to our standard until we change leadership. We need some new blood in the coach's box.

The Cats will win. That much we can be guaranteed.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 30° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 43°.
Great win by the Cats last night. It's definitely going to be a tournament where you survive and advance.
Have a great day.

The transfer portal and NIL are bringing the haves and have nots closer together.
MORNING D-LEGIONNAIRES!
31° this morning with a high of 51°, moderate winds, and sunny skies expected.
Went out to a bar last night for the first time in years. Old friend came in from Houston to visit with me and the guys I went to OKC with Wednesday. One of our group sings Karaoke in this place most Friday nights (not married and never has been) so, he took us there. This bar is 2 roads over from mine in the town I live, and I have never been in this place before. Looks like a small dive of a place from the outside but, was really spacious and quite nice and clean inside for a local small-town bar. Modern set up with a big bar area. But after a couple of hours, and a few beers, I realized why I don't do that anymore. Between the smoke, noise, and me being tired (past my bedtime), it just was not really fun for me.
Probably watch UT/Duke game today even though I will have to hold my nose. Picking UT because they are no threat in the long run to UK's records in basketball.
Enjoy your weekend folks and @AustinTXCat keep on truckin and God Bless you all.

The RR crowd can't stand success. After the Kansas State game many were already gloom and doom. Some people just can't be happy unless they're griping about something. My MIL would fit in just fine over there.
Kenny Smith has got to go. One of the worst and obviously a UK hater. Has he ever picked UK to win? Charles Barkley owns that dude.

Kenny Smith picked North Carolina.
I certainly agree about his need to go. I keep the mute button handy and when it is his turn to speak. ZAP - MUTE. I can't stand his voice or any words coming out of his mouth.
Commentators on a panel should be unbiased and objective when addressing the basketball viewers. He is neither, so I skip over him.
