Good morning all,

Up a lot earlier than I expected to be but, oh well. I got 7 hours sleep.

God Bless our military and veterans... I am thankful...

 

[warrior-cat]

Yes Sir,

I just saw that, probably the way I will go. I sure like that there is no contract. Thanks

YouTube has sports streaming and when you search for Kentucky it will pop up with a guy streaming it. I watched the first two exhibitions and the first game that way. People send him money if you want once to help him out, but you don't have to.

Morning Legionnaires!

44° this morning with a high of 74° expected.

Played 2 co-ed games yesterday and won both (10-9 and 17-6). Last 2 regular games of the fall season. We have a tournament next Sunday to finish it up. However, in the 2nd game in the 2nd inning, I hit a screamer to right center going past the center right fielder. Seeing it had gone past him I was already around first and headed for second and decided to turn it on and head for third. Bad decision, I have had a few injuries running over the years, but they were either Achilles injuries or plantar fasciitis which I still battle. I have never had hamstrings or quads pulls. Well, erase never on quads. I had a sharp pain as I started to pick up the pace and stopped at 2nd. The good thing is that we get pinch runners so, another guy took my place. Bad thing was, we had no other pitchers there yesterday, so I had to continue to play. Luckily, we run ruled them in the 3rd and I only had to play that extra inning. Maybe no tourney for me this coming Sunday.

Oh well, lazy days for me next few days. However, the monster still needs her walk. I can still walk, and she does not pull hard (most of the time) so I should be ok.

You folks enjoy the day off and God Bless.

Good morning folks.

A thanks to all the veterans among the D-Leaguers, and to veterans everywhere.

Already grinding away at the job. Mondays are the busiest day of the week.

Looking forward to tomorrow's game. I have to say I'm oddly and optimistic and calm about the outcome. We'll see soon enough.

I hope it is a good day for all.

I recall readin a story about this guy in SI when the incident happened. The shots from the 38 were all to the body. He was so thickly muscled, that none penetrated deep enough to reach any organs.

I heard the ESPN app allowed you to watch UK games. I downloaded it. We shall see. Will use the wc backup plan this go round. If I can watch it on my phone, I can cast it to my TV. (Already tried it.)

I can hope...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Big day for the Cats. We’ll know a lot more about them after tonight. I got a good feeling about it.

Heading into work. I hope it’s a good day for everyone.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 59°F and clear. Today's high expected around 83°F. We'll take it.

Cats play Duke tonight. Look forward to the game. Glad @MdWIldcat55 has a good feeling about the game. Go Big Blue!

Chemo today. Leave here at 10:30 am CT. May finish around 2:30 pm after blood draw, consult and infusion.

Monday, Monday. Heading out for a walk around 6:30 am. Y'all take care.

Austin, I hope things go well with the chemo. And I can share some good news with you —at least in the east it’s Tuesday, Tuesday, not Monday, Monday…We got that dreary day over already…

I watched the final 9:17 of the 1998 Kentucky-Duke Elite Eight this morning on a BluRay copy I have. Never fails to excite.

Couldn't find the whole run on YouTube, but here's a taste to get psyched for tonight...

I have the whole thing. let me know if you need it or call Ritchie Curtis. He will be here Saturday and let me know if he over charges you.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I have the who thing. let me know if you need it.

Thanks Bert. I have a nice copy at home. One of my 3-4 favorite Kentucky games of all time. It was my daughter's first birthday and watched it with her. When the Cats got down 17 I threw my Kentucky hat across the room...SHE TODDLED OVER AND PICKED IT UP, AND BROUGHT IT BACK WITH A BIG SMILE...Somehow I knew the Cats were coming back at that moment. Pure magic.

 

[UK82]

Probably be a late game tonight. It wouldn't surprise me if the Cats win but it also wouldn't surprise if they lose by 20. Regardless of the outcome it'll definitely be a good learning experience. They need to be tested.

 

[warrior-cat]

I am actually starting to get a little excitement and nervousness about me again. For the last few years, I had been complacent knowing how badly we had been playing and that with Calipari our chances were not good. I don't want to get too much hope going with this being a new coach and a totally new team, but if we shoot well tonight, it will be hard for them to beat us. Stopping them offensively will be the big test imo.

Wish I was a betting man. (Was a little back in the day.) I'd bet a "hunert" on the Cats....

The last time I bet was a dollar on the Ali - Liston fight. Bet on the Greatest to win.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Go Cats!!

 

[cordmaker]

Sorry I'm late with this, but HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!!! I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU!!!! I hope y'all had a great day and a free meal somewhere, mine will be at Texas Roadhouse in the near future!

 

[cordmaker]

I believe that Hunter Dickerson will be the only person that will be able to say, I retired from college basketball!!!

 

[cordmaker]

I have a question for anyone that knows politics , does all these nominee's for President Trump, have to be confirmed or do they just start working day one?

Others can give a better answer than me, but I heard Trump is threatening to use something called a recess appointment if he has to. That would bypass the senate. The last time it was used was by Obama in 2012, but the court said it was a no no.

In 2012, Congress was not in full recess, but having a few members show up each day w/o conducting business. Full recess appointments are constitutional and have been done many times. Both Houses have to recess for 10 days simultaneously & then recess appointments can begin. Those appointees can be confirmed later. I forget if the recess appts last till the end of the year, 2025, or the end of the new Congress - end of 2026.

 

[UK82]

Lack of inside play for both offense and defense. Hopefully Pope makes the necessary adjustments. Also, some really long 3s that shouldn't have been taken.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Come on Cats!!!!

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Cats Cats Cats!!!!!
Wow what a game, what a win.

 

[UK82]

Outstanding 2nd half performance! A game for the ages. This team fights. Pope can coach! No way will I sleep tonight.

 

[cordmaker]

Wow, what a game!!!! That's how you coach, make adjustments!!!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Win for the ages. No question. Mark Pope moving quickly from "good coach" to "great coach".

CATS! CATS! CATS!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 61°F and clear. Today's high could reach 86°F.

Happy Hump Day, y'all. It's also a great day to be a Kentucky Wildcat fan. Go Big Blue!

Wishing y'all a good one.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

No words, I just feel good. Go CATS! Go Coach Pope! Oh, I just said the same thing... Go CATS!!!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

What a great day to be a Cats fan! The excitement of 1966, 1978, 1993, 1996-98, 2010, 2011-15 and many other years is back in one night!

No need to hope everyone has a great day today. All of us will.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I yelled like I was 25 again. You could tell the Duke players actually thought that that game was a guarantee. To be negative, I hate the broadcast crew when the central theme is Duke is to be anointed King. Jay Williams make me want to puke, what an arrogant puss.

Pope may make us all proud Cat fans again. He is very intense but does not belittle his players when they make a mistake.

Great game that may be played often in the next week.

You all have a great hump day.

Did any of the D listen to the post game show, Jack Giving talk to a couple of the players and it was, yes sir, yes sir from the players. One of the players talked about kills, if I heard right, when KY stops the other team from scoring 3 times in a row, that's a kill! I could be wrong, Mrs. M says I am about 99% of the time!!

 

[cordmaker]

Wow, just watched espn, they hate Kentucky, all they talked about was Puke!!! Very little credit for Ky!!!!

Laugh at'em Sir, laugh at'em, haters gonna hate...

Good morning everyone

Wow, what a great game for UK. It sure didn't look good for us during the first half. Where was our great D and great shooting? But, what a gritty performance in the second half. I cringed at some of the near half court heaves (that's what they are no matter how good you are). The calmness during the madness towards the end of the game is what stands out to me the most. I think we have a team.

Hunting report....I got a decent buck Saturday and my wife got one yesterday. We have given one to our niece/nephew and will be teaching her how to cut one up tomorrow. It's not too hard but this kind of work kills my lower back. It sure beats paying more money to get it done. We already have a small fortune in our hunting and fishing.

I hope everyone has a great day. It will be a long week until next Tuesday....Lipscomb.
