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?
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
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.

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.
Cats Cats Cats!!!!!
Wow what a game, what a win.
Wow what a game, what a win.
Outstanding 2nd half performance! A game for the ages. This team fights. Pope can coach! No way will I sleep tonight.
Wow, what a game!!!! That's how you coach, make adjustments!!!
Win for the ages. No question. Mark Pope moving quickly from "good coach" to "great coach".
CATS! CATS! CATS!
CATS! CATS! CATS!
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.

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.

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

Hmmm... (Something to ponder...) I am no expert in this area but seems common sense...
Deer Jerky please!!! Good stuff!
We won. Why does what ESPN says matter? Trump won. Why does it matter what the MSM says? Just enjoy.
What ESPN says matters a lot.
They are supposed to be neutral. They are not. They are pro-ACC and they fall over their asses being pro-Puke.
That is not the way it is supposed to be.
I watched the game again today and it was a damned Duke commercial. Jay Bilas is as biased and any color guy can be. All the bad calls against UK were fine. Calls against Duke were pointed out.
I am glad we have ESPN; however, they are biased out the ass.
Bert, ESPN is biased - no different than MSNBC/CNN/CBS/etc MSM news. Saying they should be neutral is no different than saying the others listed should be. You think most of their on air personalities aren't libs? Me, it's not worth listening to them - and I don't. I don't engage with any sports talk shows. Just watch the games.
Man I have a dilemma...(Many would like to have my "problems".) Thought I was winding down my career. I think about retirement but it is not in my current plans. (Planned to go three more years or at least until I turn 65 if the Lord doesn't take me home.) I could retire now but there are so many unknowns. (I know several here have went through it.) I still have zeal for the work. Sick of the swampers and swampettes.. May have a chance to at least change the scenery and with a decent raise with less involvement with the S&S "bigshots" (In their own minds.) . The thing is I would be away from My Darling more than I am now being at the office.
It will work out, I am just typing. I hope all are well and resting well, as well.
(Well, I wanted you all well!) Well, well...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 56°F and clear. Light wind from north. Turning colder tomorrow. Today's high may hit 77°F. We'll take it.
Wishing y'all another great day.

Good morning D-League. Cool and clear in the east. A beautiful fall day.
Still psyched about Kentucky’s win. I watched a little of Arkansas last night. They trailed Troy (I think their nickname is ‘The Fighting Donahues’) at the half before winning. They play like Kentucky did last year and the contrast in styles with Pope’s offense is amazing.
Gotta get to work. Have a great day.

You are a better man than me. My 42% Scott and 25% Irish will not let me be causual.
I remember back when guys like Al McQuire, Pat Summerall etc did the games and they were honest and even. Now ESPN has surrounded itself with a bunch of Syracuse, Duke, UNC bozos. It even oozes out to the SEC Network.
Anyway it is a cool 55.4°F and 56° is supposed to be our high. Clouds and a good chance of rain. We got .49" of the precious stuff yesterday.
You all have a good Friday eve.
I'm sure that's not true.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F and clear. Calm. Today's high may reach 78°F.
Happy Friday, y'all.

Good morning D League. Happy Friday.
Cold and cloudy in the East. Heading out for a run, then lots of work.
With the Duke game behind us, and no Kentucky game for a few days, I’ve been watching some of my discs for a hoops fix —The 1978 championship, the 1998 Elite Eight game, the 2015 Champions Classic…From Goose Givens to Padgett, Sheppard and Mills to Jamal Murray. What a remarkably rich hoops legacy we’ve been able to enjoy, as evidenced just by a glimpse at past Duke games.
Heading out. You all have a great day…

Hey, we have a winnable football game tomorrow. 🥹 I think. I believe it will be our last win this year.
It is 51.1°F, cloudy on our way to a cool high of 51°.
I have some things that have to be done today. I hate it.
You all enjoy your Friday.

I was looking at an article about "dumb" dogs today. I think you said you have a chow. They are on the list I saw. Is it true? Sometimes a dog can be mislabeled. For instance a beagle is often listed as dumb, but that is because of their powerful sense of smell. It often overpowers them in training sessions. They may simply be more interested in a scent than what a trainer wants them to do. I was just wondering about chows. I have never been around one.
Good late morning all,
Off today (Off other days too but I am not working at my day job today.) Got up, took the BB to school, came home, ate breakfast and sit at my computer. I have a few things to do today but I plan to pick up the BB around 4 and told him I would not turn my work computer on today that it was his and my time today.
Going out in a bit with My Darling. Have a great day!
Oh, I have a John Wayne movie queued up on my computer that I have never watched. Just got through the opening of "Tycoon"... we shall see. (I have about ten of his movies I own that I have never watched. Just hasn't felt right to watch yet. May wait and drink a Yuengling or two later this evening and watch. If the Lord doesn't take me home.)

My Chow/Shar Pei mix died a couple of years ago and he was dumber than a box of rocks. However, before him we had a Chow mix named Jake who was very intelligent. He was a rescue dog, (most of ours are) so we did not know what he was mixed with, but he was a sharp dog.
Looks like Bama lost tonight!!!!
Paul Skenes is a hot shot rookie pitcher for the Pirates. Had a great rookie year and they expect him to be special. Topps made one special card and it is being sold at random in a ordinary pack. The Pirates are offering whoever buys the "so to speak golden ticket" 30 years of season tickets plus a few other things for the card.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 53°F and clear. Today's high may reach 81°F.
Murray State visits Cats today. Game on at 12:30 pm EST. GBB!

Heading out for a hike in a few. Must drop by grocery store and pick up things for Germany trip.
Wishing y'all an awesome Saturday.
