Yeah, we have probably run into each other either from my old job or restaurants/stores in Elgin. Tell him I live on Watts Rd. east of Tony Creek Rd.Warrior-cat, found out that my cousin lives in Elgin
Safe travels. Enjoy. I have not visited Savannah in many years.Good morning folks.
Another cool clear beautiful morning in the east. I was out about 5am and the moon was spectacular, huge and bright with a subtle hint of a rose color…I know tomorrow is the “Blood Worm Moon” lunar eclipse. But it was full and blazing today.
On the subway now. Last work day of the week. My wife and I are off for a brief visit to Savannah tomorrow.
Have a good day.

Does he still work at Ft. Sill?

Fishing report: 1 strike, no hooks, so no errors as there was not much action today. Still a little chilly this morning with the wind being higher than predicted. I spent about 3 hours at 2 ponds. Ran into 2 other guys out there fishing and only one of them caught anything and it was a bass at around 1 pound. Will try again soon in the next few days.
Oklahoma gave us all we wanted in the regular season, but tonight's game is in Nashville. I hope the Cats can pull a couple good games together. I would love to win tonight and get a chance at Alabama. I think UK got screwed royally in Tuscaloosa.A victory tonight and it will be the longest SEC win streak of the year for the Cats. 3 games. Speaks volumes for how tough the league is. The Cats are 2-5 in the past 5 SEC tournaments and haven't won more than 1 game since the 2017-2018 tournament. It's been too long for the fans. Maybe this is the year.
9:30 games kind of sucks.
I see that you are an optimist!I predict tonight's game starts around 10:15.
You called that !! 🤪I see that you are an optimist!![]()
Immediate classic! Speechless!
He ghost wrote a book for Bob Knight. He told lies about Kenny Walker being paid to go to UK. I helped Joe B. recruit Kenny and was there in all the conversations. No money and no promises. John Feinstein in my book is a worthless lying sob.I see John Feinstein, the Kentucky-hating sports writer died.
Is it too soon to tell a story about him that makes me look like a jerk? I guess I'll do it anyway.
As some of you know, Feinstein graduated from Duke in 1978, and it was the Cats beating his beloved Blue Devils that year in the championship that made him a lifetime hater and critic of UK...
Fast forward to 1998. He had just written a fawning book about ACC basketball. I was working in DC at the Scripps Howard news bureau, where we put out a wire service that reached 800 newspapers across America. Feinstein was working at the Washington Post, which had offices just a couple blocks away.
In late March of that year, about a week after the legendary Kentucky comeback to beat Duke in the Elite Eight, Feinstein came up to our offices to promote his book with our sports editor. I spotted him, and so I lurked around until I saw him heading for the elevator of our 11th floor office.
I walked up to him and said, "Aren't you John Feinstein? I'm a big college hoops fans and know your work (know, not like...)" He seemed flattered and we both got on the elevator...I had him trapped...
So I said, "Hey, let me ask you: What happened to Duke in that tournament game with Kentucky last week? How do you blow a 17-point lead with nine minutes to go?" I swear his face got white and mumbled something about, "just bad luck.." But I kept it up: "Did Coach K just choke? He looked like he was pissing his pants on the bench...Man, he was totally outclassed by that Kentucky coach, what is his name again? He's new, right?"
It was the longest elevator ride of Feinstein's life. When we got to the lobby he didn't even pretend he wasn't pissed. He just made a beeline for the door...No wonder he hated Kentucky. We can be an ornery bunch...
With Butler out, anything more is icing. Yes, great season when all is considered & not bad in the absolute.About last night:
Whatever happens the rest of the way, I'm always going to love Pope's first team.
Beat Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville, swept Tenn, two games with late Oweh shots to take down Oklahoma...the first SEC game/win was a shoot-out classic with Florida.
You see character from many of these guys, without the injuries we got 2 or 3 more wins right now.
I think something special is brewing in the basketball program.
We met a guy at a craft show who made lamps that were fishing related. We sold him some shades that were fishing related. He told us later he sold a lamp and one of the shades to Joe B.He ghost wrote a book for Bob Knight. He told lies about Kenny Walker being paid to go to UK. I helped Joe B. recruit Kenny and was there in all the conversations. No money and no promises. John Feinstein in my book is a worthless lying sob.
