D-League

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.
One of my favorite non-UK moments in NCAA tournament history:

 
One of my favorite non-UK moments in NCAA tournament history:

The minutes before and after that Jenkins kid hit that shot over the Cheaters -including Barkley savagely rubbing it in - is way up there with my non-Kentucky tournament moments, along with Villanova beating Georgetown in Rupp, Al McGuire’s Marquette beating UNC in 1977, the first 16-1 loss by Virginia, Northern Iowa beating Kansas in 2010 and so on.

The tournament is truly magic and last night with FDU is the latest chapter.
 
GM, (Oh that's the way the efficient do it now-a-days...) Good Morning,

Made some biscuits, and coffee. My Darling made pancakes for my two daughters AND my two youngest grandchildren... and cleaned up the mess.:mad: Biscuits don't go down as well...


I have no Cat in this fight but my druthers is that UT WHIPS puke. UT will fold of their own volition soon enough... Take out the trash UT, then fall in the hole yourselves...

Too much going on today... but I am thankful...
 
Had a memory pop up in facebook...

I think we were staying at a "nice" hotel in Seoul...

Well said. UT can take out the Dukie trash then fall in the hole. I will write that one down.
 
So a Wildcat is fighting a Wildcat… Go Wildcats!!! Only true Wildcats are the Kentucky Wildcats… no matter the outcome, they are only pretenders…

Out and about a bit but I took a good “bite” out of the crud in the garage… back at it later today… still much to do…

I needed to do this, why it took moving to make me…. I am ashamed…
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 43°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 60°F. Should warm up beginning next Tuesday.

And then 24 remained. Princeton is for real. Really thought Kansas would have played better against Hogs. Watched UT vs Duke before heading out. Chose lesser of two evils for that game. Rick Barnes' team showed up.

Come on, Coach Cal, rally the troops. Let's make the Sweet-16. Go Cats!

Finally hit up Trader Joe's late yesterday afternoon. Place was packed. Boarded bus at 4:23 pm. Purchased 3 bottles Green Goddess dressing, which are only available at TJ's unless you have a recipe. Picked up couple packs gnocchi and few other items. Back before dark.

Figured out reason I find less loose change these days. Doggone bums wised up, purchased a flashlight and now actively scout my usual areas for coins. They still miss a few. Heh. Nevertheless, good exercise.

Wishing y'all a Happy Sunday. Again, Go Cats!

Good morning folks.

Had a fun evening with my son at the Washington Wizards versus Sacramento Kings game. Fox and Monk together again. Both had decent games, and the Kings won.

We were eating dinner at a nice DC restaurant when Arky knocked off Kansas. Really loved that. Coupled with the Vols beating Duke it was one of the better tourney days not involving the Cats I can remember.

Game day for Kentucky. It’d be great to keep this season going. Go Cats
 
Good Sunday Morning on this last day of winter D League. It is Spring tomorrow. Currently 46° and our high will be 65°. We have 0% chance of rain and there have been 0 lightning strikes. Lightning strikes always come with our local weather report.

I had to look up gnocchi. I don't think we have any of that in the house but it looks good. I always look forward to Austin's food items because I have learned a lot about foreign food. So if I can find a store that carries gnocchi I am going to pick up a box and try it out. I wonder if it would taste good with milk gravy and chicken fried steak.

Enjoyed yesterday's games as a fan. Any time Duke and Kansas go down in the same day it is a joyous day. The SEC is proving to be a very good league overall. Now it is time for the Cats. Show up and play Kentucky basketball. Win and advance.

I trust all are well

MORNING D-LEGIONNAIRES!

23° (hard freeze) this morning with light winds. High to be around 50° and sunny.

Need to cut my grass but may wait until tomorrow because it is cold this morning and the game starts at 13:40 around the time we will hit the high for the day.

BIL and MIL did not leave until around 0200 this morning and wife and daughter stayed up until 0330. I know because they left the monster out all night, and she woke me up (I went to bed at 2230) at 0300 with constant barking (she has a booming bark). I threw on my robe, went out, and brought her back in. My wife and daughter were still on their cell phones on the couch looking up crap on the internet and laughing. My wife looks up at me and says, "I was going to go get her shortly." My response? "Too late" and went back to bed. My wife came to bed about 30 minutes later after I had fallen back to sleep complaining about being cold (I had turned the temp down to 60 before going back to bed) and woke me up with very cold hands and feet. It is the normal weekend ritual as the in laws hardly ever leave before midnight.

I need a man cave with a futon (Hai?).

Have a great Sunday folks and God Bless.
 
As a lifelong sufferer of insomnia, didn't even get to sleep last night. After the girlfriend of four years retired to bed and the basketball games began to conclude, went on a movie watching spree from about 11 p.m. Saturday night until 8 a.m. Sunday morning.

Was left with one undeniable, indelible impression: Marisa Tomei is the hottest, sexiest, cutest, most adorable female specimen to hit the big screen in my lifetime. That woman is the best combination of bombshell and girl next door that I've ever had the pleasure of gawking at in high definition.

From the Flamingo Kid in 1984 to the King of Staten Island in 2020, her longevity of desirability has firmly moved her into the GOAT slot of movie stars that make me salivate.
Sounds like it was a good thing that girlfriend went to bed.
