I have a few as well but, the one I would really change if I could, would be to play more organized baseball growing up. In the third grade I played and was the utility man for our team that won the city championship. After that, my stepfather would not let me continue to play because if he was close enough with work (Drywall) he would pick my brother and me up after school to help him work until late (school homework suffered). We would also have to work on weekends and most of the summer. This happened until just before my senior year when I turned 18 and moved out. He was pissed because I worked for this lawyer after school and weekends, and he put me up so I did not have to live at home. He was so mad that one evening while I was visiting my mother, he came home early and started beating me with his fist (he was 6' 4" 240lbs and I was 5' 7" 140lbs) until my brother grabbed a metal pipe and told him to stop. Needless to say, my brother moved out too.

I left for the army 2 months after graduating and the rest is history. I was a pretty good player (very good defensively) in the third grade and believe with an opportunity to play through the years I would have at least earned a scholarship to play at the college level. Who knows from there.
Way back when, scholarships for baseball were limited. A coach would have only a few scholarships for the entire team, maybe 8 or 10. A coach would do a lot of half scholarships to make them go further and a lot of spots were filled by walk ons. I was asked to walk on, but I'd had to quit working to play and if I quit working, I'd couldn't pay for college. The last year I played softball at 37 with a bum leg and shoulder, a 25 year college baseball coach told my teammates I was the best third baseman he had ever seen. Life and poor decisions got in the way, but like you, it would have been nice to know what might have happened.
 
Gave up a second and 20, a second and 26 and a third and 15 in that drive…Going off the body language, Kentucky’s defenders look like they’d rather be at the dentist than forced to play a college football game. I love the safety who gets so deep in the end zone that after a guy has already caught the TD pass, he takes three steps forward then makes a tackle. That’s a useful play.
 
I’ve been watching Kentucky football since the 1970s.

This isn’t the worst Kentucky team I’ve seen by a long shot. But it may well be the most disappointing and the least inspired. Just a terribly coached team and an uninspired, ‘don’t give a shit’ collection of players.

Let’s please try something else than Stupes. Louisville gets a new coach and in one year has a shot at the playoffs. Stupes thinks beating three cupcakes and three SEC bottom feeders is really succeeding.

Mizzou turned it around as well. The 10-win seasons in 2018 and 2021 were great but as always, UK's schedule is built for low-level bowl games. No more no less. Probably time to move on from Stoops especially with Oklahoma and Texas joining the league next year. Oh, a possible 9-game SEC schedule on the horizon guarantees a ceiling of 6 maybe 7 wins unless changes are made.

Stoops had some good years when Missouri, SC, Vandy and Louisville all got awful at the same time.

Missouri seems like they got a real coach now...and we dominated them the first quarter. I think the schedule is getting tougher and guess what...no more 8-4...back to 6-6. Stoops doesn't upset anyone. If he has as good or better talent its a game, if you got better talent...He never wins. Rich Brooks teams would sometimes show up against a great team and give them hell, Stoops never does that, he loses every game you think he will and you just hope he wins the games he should. But he just lost a game he should have won...he is overpaid, both our coaches are overpaid.

Good Sunday afternoon.

I took the day off from hunting to go to church. Shelia got a deer earlier this week so I don't have to take one to put meat in the freezer. We usually eat one per year now. I now can just sit out there and enjoy myself and won't take one unless it's a good one. After the season goes out I'll have a couple of weeks to rest up for the 3 day bear season.

BB team is still showing promise/potential. lol They are sure fun to watch at times which means a lot to me. Football...blew their chance to make for a decent season.

I hope everyone has a great day.
 
Good morning folks. Got one more medical procedure today as they continue the elusive search to find something wrong enough to keep bleeding my insurance company. Ironically, I feel pretty damn good for my late 60s, but don't tell my doctors that. Reached my summer goal of reducing my weight from 250 to 212 - my playing weight my last year in college. And that was with a trip to Skyline Chili while visiting my parents! I was glad to complete this somewhat foolish self-imposed task before Thanksgiving, and now I can fall off the wagon in a big way.

Trying to et a half-day of work in before the procedure -- which is somewhat invasive, involves a long tube and the male anatomy. I'll leave it at that.

Hope you all have a better time today.

Had one of those put in one time. I was out with a surgery when they put it in. He took it out while I was sitting on a table in his office. It hurt bad for 2 or 3 seconds. Everything turned black, then it was over and no pain.

Yeah, I'd say the sharp pain was just a few seconds. Discomfort a little longer. Anyway, it is done.

And the net result of all the tests is fairly positive. I have to have a laser surgery to trim my prostate, but the big concern the doctor had was about the possibility of cancer to the bladder or liver. That all turned out clean.

Glad it went pretty well.
