D-League

Auburn/Florida for the title. Although I can't stand Pearl I'd rather have them win as opposed to the Gators. Doesn't matter at this point. Just waiting patiently for the seedings tomorrow night. Most likely a 4 for the Cats. A 3 would be much better.

Coming up on the 40th anniversary of the UK/Georgetown debacle of 1984. Certainly a Top 5 candidate for most disappointing game in UK history.

Personal reasons for me. I'd put it in the top 3 mainly because I had classes with many of them at UK. Didn't really know them but had a bond. One of the best UK teams not to win a title. Al Maguire even said before the season that if they didn't win the title there should be an investigation. Worst half of basketball ever played by UK. All of this IMO of course.

My problem with Cal is that he refuses to make adjustments, in-game and before game. A&M used the exact same game plan that beat the Cats earlier this year. Nothing changed. They drove the lane, got open 3s, etc.. This gives all teams a blueprint. Our bigs just can't handle a physical team. What I wouldn't give right now to have Bam in the middle.

Exactly, he is not coaching. Like it is a deer in the headlights come game time. Just totally sickening the talent that has passed through UK under Cal and literally nothing to show for it. AD and Co. just would not lose. Cal never coached that team either, they were just other worldly in talent at that time.

That is an egg (I now you know that. ;)) over rice and kimchi (My Darling makes the kimchi herself and does not over spice it. Just a very pleasing meal...

Edit: Made some fat back and lettuce from her garden...

Yes, yes, yes. I didn't get to watch the game closely but I was thinking we're doing the same thing that cost us the game to A&M earlier in the year. I just can't fathom no change at all for this game.

*****

I was "watching" on the phone during my nephew's baseball game. He's 15 and was the starting catcher on the JV game. He did good. I was late for the varsity game, but his varsity team is good. I knew they were working on a shutout (and they did) but found out right after the win that the pitcher threw a No Hitter. Being late and trying to keep up with the UK game caused me to miss out on the excitement.

I'll be 60 in Sept. My wife and I have always been friends with those older than us. We even are part of a hiking group where we're the youngest (by 10 years) and the oldest is...............90. It may not appear like it at first, but I fit in pretty good here. Thanks.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Kentucky’s problem at the start of the season was Defense. Kentucky’s problem heading into the NCAA tournament is still Defense. No adjustments from the $9,00,000 Coach. A change in leadership would be cheered.

I bet all you guys went to schools where each grade had it's own teacher and room. My school was one room, eight grades and one teacher. Mom knew the teacher and got me in early so I was always the smallest and youngest kid in my class and for a while in the whole school. I hated that.

Good morning D-League. Selection Sunday! Maybe not the thrill it once was, but still an interesting day. So many upsets yesterday. All the Top teams lost since Friday except UConn. That just suggests to me that the difference between the 40th best team and the Top Five teams isn't all that great in the days of the portal when everyone has a chance to construct a squad out of fifth year 23-year olds.

For casual fans this will probably make for another "exciting" tournament. For historically Elite program fans, I'm not sure the gap between the Haves and the Have Nots has ever been thinner. Look at NC State. Very mediocre season. Way outside the dance last Thursday. Then they win five games in a row, including over Duke and UNC. I'm not sure what seed they get, but a team capable of beating those two teams back-to-back (along with Virginia) is capable of beating anyone.

Ah well, we'll just have to see how it unfolds.

Hope you all have a good Sunday.

Bernie, I went to a school that had maybe 400 students from 1st through 12th, all in same building. I started in the 2nd grade, and was still a bit of a Johnny-come-lately when we were seniors.

Most of the others had been together since 1st grade. Classes would start with around 40-45 kids as 1st graders and -- in those days -- end up with about 20-25 seniors graduating. We had our 50th reunion this fall. Outside of about five who had died all but one or two showed up. I think I was the only one who had to travel more than 15 minutes to reach the venue.

Sir,

For the most part yes but,

For my third grade year my Mom and Dad moved us back from Michigan to Cumberland Gap. (We lived in the top of the old gas station nearly across the street.) (Some who drive through there may see the historic one room school. I was in the last class before they closed that school. Each row of desks in the same one room was a different grade. Went to the seventh grade as I remember...

Also played on the Iron Furnace in the Gap and the water wheel a lot while I was there about a year. Remember a huge snake had died wrapped around that water wheel. It looked ten feet long but I was about 8 or 9 at the time...

Walked the train tunnel to the Y so many times. Me and my Daisy repeater BB gun...

Just some trivia... ;)

Afternoon D, man I hate Auburn!!!!! I said I would let you know about the Shrimp pasta after I made it, it is awesome!!!!! So here is the recipe.

Shrimp pasta
1-box rotini noodles cooked
1-container of mayo (use more or less, up to your taste)
1-bottle Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
Garlic powder > adjust to your taste
Tajin seasoning > again adjust to your taste
Use 1-2 bags of large or medium shrimp, precooked, deveined, tails off shrimp thawed and cut in half
1-package of imitation lobster chunks or crabmeat (use real if you got it

Mix half the mayo and half the ranch dressing, add the garlic and tajin seasoning to your taste and mix well, then add the shrimp and lobster meat and let overnight. The next day add the other half of the mayo and ranch dressing. This makes quite a bit of salad, will be great to take to a party or get together, hope you enjoy it if you make it. Let me know what you think.

I went to Park City. In the twelve grades there were 700 kids.

It was fantastic. The greatest childhood a boy could have. I dated all the pretty girls. I was the president of my class every other year. The other guy was David Wood. Plus I was the ugliest guy in class. How does that work?

4 years ago we had our 55th and I organized it. We had a great time even though many of us are now missing.

In this picture there are only 17 of us. We started out as 51. I am the ugly guy with Neva Alexander's hand on my shoulder (Neva died last year).

I'm a little superstitious because Barkley picked UK to go to the Final 4 the past 2 years and now Kellogg is picking them this year. Break the chain Cats.

Yeah Ole Barkley who I quasi like (Not that it matters what I like.) Can't seem to stay within reason, he has to jump out and make seriously stupid comments. Seems just to remain relevant. Still waiting to hear about him slapping someone.... when he catches them wearing it...

Good morning from Burbach, Germany. Time now is 12:39 AM. Temperature outside is is 45°F (7 C°). Weather forecast looks good for Siegerland for next few days. I'm really gonna check out my old haunt this week.

- Jet lag kicking my butt. Me drinking 4 beers last night probably has not helped. Spilled beer all over computer. Heh, still works. Internet Service Provider (ISP) here at brother's place all in German. Good connectivity. My individual hot spot (4G) not working. Smart phone hot spot works great.

Also wearing long johns. Former brother in-law running heat on low (wood pellet stove) to conserve energy, but room temperature maybe 60°F. It's all good. @cordmaker : my former brother in-law still works for Dynanit Nobel in explosives.

- Visited with several folks last night here at bro's place. Good seeing everybody. Many more folks left to visit. Have not yet seen son and granddaughter. I ran outta gas before our meet-up. Had to lie down. Just exhausted after past few days. Only slept an hour on the flight.

- Happy with UK as a 3-seed. Could have been worse. Let's hope they beat Oakland. Go Cats!

Check back with y'all later.

Here you go, cordmaker. Tallest building in NYC. Snapped photo coming into Newark. Airport totally sucks a huge one. TSA threatened to arrest me there. More later.

Thank you ATX, praying for you mostly that you just don't wear yourself completely out while you are there. Is he in the manufacturing part where he works, making the dect-cord?
