#2 Ohio State vs. #5 Indiana at noon. Hoping for a tie.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Good morning folks. Cool and clear in the east.
A fun game by the Cats last night. I was watching a YouTube highlights compilation this morning with the sound down while my wife was sleeping and I was initially baffled that they included a clip of Brea missing a three —then it occurred to me: he misses so infrequently it’s one of those moments to be isolated.
Back to reality with the Stupe Brigade today. I actually think Texas is overrated and ripe to be beaten but I doubt the Cats have the team to prove that. I’ll be interested to see how Indiana holds up in their first real test.
Enjoy Saturday guys.

Good morning all. .. Cleaning on a brudders office this morning. (Needed it getting rid of junk and storing "properly".).. Had pumpkin pie and coffee... Have a fine day...

I guess if I had to pick one fighter besides Ali, it would be Sugar Ray...dude had some serious heart...
Never was a Leonard fan. The media liked him to much for my taste. I thought Hagler got a raw deal in their fight. I liked Rocky Marciano, but he was probably before your time. Many years ago, they had a computer tournie of heavyweight champs. They got Marciano and Ali together for some sparring as part of it. Ali said his arms were sore from the beating his arms took while sparring. Surprisingly Marciano won the compute fight. Ali said something about the computer being made in Alabama.
Yes Sir,
I agree on that take as well but I saw his fights with Hearns and Duran. Just had WARS in the ring and came out of them the winner. My Captain in the Army reminded me so much of Sugar Ray. Captain Jerome V. Spears.. never will forget him. Told him before I left service that I never saluted him because of his rank. (He was the epitome of a gentleman. As angry as I ever saw him (And this was on Fort Bragg.) he stated, "Well, I'll be a suck-egg mule." (Never forgot that either.)
Kind of like my fourth and fifth grade teacher at Dunn Elementary in River Rouge Michigan. David M. Nelson. They impacted me deeply, I still think in a good way...

Man, I love good baseball...
I would have paid to watch Ozzie Smith take infield and skipped the game. Defensively, the best I ever saw. In his 2000 book, Bill James (father of sabermetrics) agrees.
Yes Sir, saw some serious talent from far (mostly far) and near. I stood mesmerized at the sheer talent some players (A lot of players back then had.). Had some up close views of Aurelio Rodriguez (Tigers) and Brooks Robinson (Orioles) back then. Aurelio used a brand new glove taking fielding practice and his old tattered glove during the games. Had a complete cannon for an arm. threw from third about knee high and it ended up at first about knee high. (That alone allowed me to realize what I was not on the diamond.) Then, Brooks, just so very effortless. I went to games to watch Aurelio and Brooks play. (Many other good players but those I remember due to them playing very well during that time.) Saw Al Kaline throw many as well. Just a rocket from right and most never tried him he was that strong and accurate.
Yes, I followed Aurelio When I could because of his D. Kaline said Musial was his hero when he was young. I always liked a flimsy glove, made it easier to have soft hands.
I have to say it. I’ve followed Kentucky football through lots of dark days, deep valleys and even comic ineptness.
I’m not sure the Cats have ever had a quarterback who was, overall, more of a disappointing bust than Vandagriff. There were probably guys even less courageous, mentally tough or talented. But Vandagriff just has a knack for doing the disastrous thing at the exact wrong time.
Benched. Finally. I hope he never plays another down. Boley looks much better.

No surprise. Could have been worse. Too many really bad, momentum killing penalties. The story of the season. Not to mention undisciplined play. Boley should start against UL next week and next year. I'm afraid we're stuck with Stoops until his contract expires. Seriously, who would want the guy plus he'd take a serious pay cut if he left. After the 2021 season, which was forfeited, I really thought that UK would begin to sit at the adult table. Silly me. This is UK football.
I must....The Willie Mays basket catch! (These reels keep popping up. Just great to see...)
I attended today's game here in ATX at Darrel K. Royal Memorial Stadium. After going downstairs to the use men's room at halftime, I looked at monitor and score read 24-7. It was a few minutes into 3rd quarter. 4th down and 11. Boley replaced Vandagriff at QB. I had enough, so I left the stadium. Caught the bus. UKgrad93 texted. I later sent him a lengthy text explaining I left. Enough is enough.
Yeah, nightmarish season. Fix the O-line. Good grief, they gave up 6 sacks on two QBs today. Replace Vandagriff. He's an interception machine. Develop a decent running back room.
That's all.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F and clear. Today's high expected around 84°F. Plan on pulling on shorts little later this morning.
Rather forget yesterday's debacle. Beautiful weather during game, though.
Packing and shopping for trip tomorrow..
Watched a little "Landman" last night after returning from game. Also an addictive series. Billy Bob Thornton = perfect fit for the role. Wife is very familiar with oil business, as her ex worked various fields in Permian Basin and east Texas over several years.
Wishing y'all another peaceful Sunday.

Good morning folks.
Made the mistake of watching a bit of the Cats’ football game yesterday. Got so angry at Vandagriff and Stoops that it threatened a beautiful day. Boley looked good at times. But nothing really in look forward to until Stoops is forced out. His teams just play stupid, undisciplined and uninspired football.
So many upsets yesterday. Alabama and Ole Miss may end up on the outside looking in. I’m not sure there is a great team this year. I guess that’ll make for a crazy playoff.
I’ve been a little lazy this morning. Need to head out for a run. Have a good Sunday folks.

I quit watching at halftime too. What were you wearing to the game? I caught a glimpse of someone that was a little older than the average fan shown...maybe you?
Leonard was one of the if not the purest boxer there ever was. Alexis Arguello would be maybe the only other one that would come close imo.
Watched the whole game yesterday (I am a masochist I suppose) and saw that we were not good at most positions. Yes, coaching probably has a lot to do with it, but some passes that were very catchable were dropped on offense. Defense played ok at times but would have been better had we adjusted for the constant running up the middle. I was dumbfounded at the lack of adjustments to offset their many yards gained up the middle. The defense while tired late in the 2nd half also seemed to just give up because of the lack of ability to stop the run.
Boley actually looked good in comparison to Vandergriff and had he been the starter all season, would have probably with all of that playing time done a lot better if not injured because of the O-lines inability to protect the QB.
If Vandergriff starts and plays most of the game vs UL, our streak of now 5 in a row comes to an end. Boley starting and playing the whole game gives us a better chance imo.

I wore a somewhat faded blue UK sweatshirt. Made in USA. Purchased in downtown Lex back in 2002. Sat in section 126, row 14, seat 25. If one watched broadcast, we were in upper decks.
Not you. This guy was in a white shirt and faded blue jeans. I was hoping I could give you the time to go watch the replay.
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses-Behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road long before I dance under those lights.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 60°F and clear. Today's high expected around 80°.
Must work a bit this morning. Analytics. Crunch numbers and file a report. Leave here around 9 am for airport. Lufthansa flight departs at 4 pm.
Monday, Monday...
Wish y'all a good one.

Morning Legionnaires!
43° this morning and windy. High to be in the low 50's.
Short week for the grinders so enjoy.
Safe travels @AustinTXCat and God Bless.
Good morning all,
At home working, supposed to be off tomorrow. We shall see,
I am lurking, have a joyful day and a better week. God Bless you all and your families...

Not sure why I woke up today and thought we had a basketball game tonight. Something came up Saturday right before the game against Texas, so at least I was spared having to watch the football loss.
Good morning folks. Short week and working from home.
It was a restful Sunday. Watched a crazy Cowboys-Commanders game yesterday. It was 3-3 at the half, 10-9 well into the 4th quarter, and ended up 34-27. In the last five minutes Dallas scored three touchdowns, including a kickoff return 101 yards and a TD off an onsides kick. Washington scored an 80-plus yard TD on an impossible Hail Mary inside a minute only to have the PAT missed that would have tied the game. It was the wildest five minutes of an NFL game I've seen in my life. And as I have hated Washington for eyars, a satisfying one.
Grinding out a work day, and looking forward to T-Day. Have a good day folks.

Haven't heard this one in a long while... Liked this song... George Burns (I Wish I Was Eighteen Again...)
