Morning Legionnaires!

66° this morning with a high in the mid 90's and plenty of sunshine expected.

Not much going on this morning other than the normal daily exercise routine.

Have a good Friday folks and prepare for the extended day off.

God Bless.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Busy, busy... Have a blessed day!

Good morning folks. Busy work day but wanted to say hello. Cold and clear in the east. SOme people around here posted photos of a freak sighting of Northern Lights last night. Damn, I missed it. Haven't seen those since my Alaska days in the mid-1970s.

Glad its Friday -- and a big one for Kentucky basketball fans.

You all take care.

Good afternoon D, getting ready to watch BBM! Excited again for Kentucky basketball!!! Just want to let the D know that there is a comet that is starting to show up starting tonight, if you look to the west you will see Venus, next to your Uranus, just kidding about Uranus, but Comet Atlas will be to the right of Venus. You can Google Comet Atlas, Sky and Telescope is where I found mine, a map that will show where it is located. They started calling Atlas a great comet, which means it can be seen with the naked eye, we'll see!!!

Haven't dropped by for a little while D-League. Hope all is well with you guys. Cats have a great opportunity after beating Ole Miss. Next 3 games could really define the season. But we can't overlook anyone. Gotta take care of Vandy. Enjoyed Big Blue Madness last night, first time I have watched in years.

Vandy had the ball 42 minutes against Bama. Apparently Bama historic stats have no team ever having the ball against them that long. One reason Vandy got that win. One reason we got the win against Ole Miss was we had the ball for almost 40 minutes. We played keep away.

Be interesting if we see some big plays today or both teams having to drive it down field methodically.

Either way, let's get the win!

Good morning folks. Happy Saturday.

I didn’t get to watch BBM last night. I may go to YouTube and check for replays. Apparently the most excitement in years. And Rick Pitino is back in good graces, making an appearance to a standing O.

Man, I hope Pope can keep this momentum going. An upset of Duke in about a month would be a great first step.

Football Cats can make a splash by beating Giant Killer Vandy. I like UK’s chances.

Heading into town in a bit. Want to see some new exhibits at the Smithsonian. One of the real perks of living in DC.

Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F and clear. Today's high expected around 96°F. Never-ending summer.

Yep, Game Day. Go Cats! I will not post at all during tonight's game. None. Zero. Totally refrain. Plan on commenting after. Go Big Blue!

Contacted Willy, my brothers and cousins and friends in hurricane Milton path yesterday. Heh, eye of hurricane went right over Willy's house. He texted me a picture. Glad all are okay.

Heading out in a few for usual morning hike. Been feeding a couple junk yard dogs at end of our street. They guard auto repair shops and love me.

Wishing y'all an awesome Saturday.

Good morning, D, BBM was great last night, Coach Pope is trying to reunite our fan base and I think he is doing a great job! I wish that they would have announced each year of championships as they came out. To me Pope is a Pitino clone, same drive and excitement, but understands what Kentucky means! I think he will get the players He wants for him, the two Kentucky boys are a start, I hope we get back to a time when we had players lined up wanting to wear Kentucky Blue!!!

Good morning everyone.

I too enjoyed BBM last night. Great overall, but I think they went too long and left a bit hanging at the end. It was sad watching older players rushed onto the court and knowing that you knew who they were (by name) but did not recognize many of them.

Excited about the game tonight. HUGE GAME for both teams trying to do the same thing in the league and this game. Whoever comes out on top will have the upper hand taking that next step towards the future.

I hope everyone enjoys this great weather (well, sorry Austin & maybe Warrior).

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Morning folks. It is sunny and 61.7°F here.

I was shocked that Pitino got emotional last night. That made me feel good.

Go Cats.

 

[BBUK]

Good afternoon all,

Hit the road this morning to the BB's and my grand daughters soccer game. (The last one this season.) and then me, My Darling , and the BB headed over to the Quantico Marine Base Commissary. Stopped off on the way back to eat dinner at Popeye's.

Never got to watch the Cats last night but did follow posts. Sure hope the right UK Football team shows up today. Need a win!

Go CATS!

The legend of The Babe...

 

[berniecarbo]

Speaking of Babe Ruth, any of you ever been to Hot Springs Arkansas? Before teams started going to Florida, it was the hot spot for baseball spring training. Babe Ruth started going there with the Red Sox as a rookie pitcher and he loved it. Baseball during the day and then mineral baths and then the night clubs. I went once years ago and stayed in a hotel that in it's heyday regularly hosted the likes of All Capone.

 

[UK82]

Should be a test for the Cats tonight. I have no doubt that a victory is at hand. What's going on with the SEC? UGA and Bama not looking all that great. Texas looking like the cream of the crop.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Thinking Vandy gonna give us a game. Hope we beat 'em. Preparing to switch over here and check-in after game over.

Go Big Blue!

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Go Cats!!

 

[BBUK]

Dayum

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Nice jinx. Let’s go Cats!!

 

[UK82]

Too many penalties. Poor late game clock management. Defense not the best so far. Prayers for the injured Vandy player.

 

[storm1507]

I think this game will have big impacts for years to come for both teams..... one way or the other.

Sheesh Kentucky 😡

 

[UK82]

I’m at a loss for words.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Nice stop defense.

 

[UK82]

How many soul crushing penalties have the Cats had tonight?

 

[UK82]

How many fans predicted home losses to USC and Vandy preseason? Now back to a struggle to make a bowl game.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and clear. Triple digits forecast today. We may hit 100°F. Summer not yet letting go.

All I can say is Vandy = for real. Offense and defense both reworked. Totally understand how they beat Bama. Sure disappointed our Cats lost again at home. 6 games remain on the schedule. Let's get some wins.

Grabbed BBQ yesterday from Rudy's. Got some pulled pork. Plan on making red beans and rice along with oyster stew today and tomorrow.

Wishing y'all a peaceful Sunday.

Morning Legionnaires!

59° this morning with the high near 90° expected.

Did not watch the game last night, was invited to a cookout that started at 6pm and ended after midnight. Glad I did not see it. Football for me this year is turning out to be a bust with both the Cats and the Bengals (more cats) sucking it up. Basketball take me away! (With reservations of course new team and all.)

Have 2 co-ed softball games today at 1 and 3pm. Supposed to be against two very good teams. We shall see.

You folks enjoy your Sunday, and I hope you worker bees have tomorrow off.

God Bless.

Good Sunday morning everyone

Ugghhh....back to the Cellar Dwellers for us. I turned it off after the offsides at the goal line and the bungled FG. BB season has now officially started at my house.

I would like to see some of you go over to RR and check out the UK draft. Round 1 (2 games) has started and need some "older" fans voting. I have to say the 10 participants did a good job drafting some historical players. I think I was the oldest following the actual draft.

I'm still enjoying this great weather and may get to the lake next week.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Encouraging game last night. I’m at the point where I’m encouraged by anything that brings the Mark Stoops era one day closer to an end.

He long ago gave up any ambition to make Kentucky an elite program. His ambition now is to win one real game a year —Ole Miss this year, Louisville last year — tie that together with four OOC cupcakes and an SEC cripple and go to a meaningless bowl game. That’s the blueprint to be paid $9 million a year. I’m sick of the scam he’s perpetrating. To come off a bye week and be more better prepared than that. To commit an endless parade of stupid, drive killing penalties. Thats on the coaching staff.

Beautiful day here. I love October. Hope you all have a good day

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Bad night at black rock. Yuk.

I just went over and looked to see if anyone drafted Bill Spivey, but didn't find a complete draft list. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. He completely dominated HOF Clyde Lovellette in a UK/Kansas game for #1.

Bill Spivey of Warner Robins could have been Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, instead, he became a forgotten footnote in basketball history; a

No, he and Ralph Beard did not get drafted. They were about the only huge stars that didn't make it. Too early, point shaving scandal ????? L0ook for a post with draft Round 11 Complete in the title for the entire 10 team draft.
