Morning Legionnaires!

43° with 30-40mph winds. Today's high to be in the upper 60's.

Broke a tooth last night eating a piece of pecan pie. A piece of shell in the pie freshly made by my son who had picked the pecans from a tree near where he lives in Knoxville Tn. The tooth is one that has a filling in it so it is not as strong as the others. Will call a dentist this morning to set up an appointment. So far, no pain.

Son leaves this morning to go back to Knoxville. Had a better visit this time than last. We argued more last time but only once this time. He is a very hard-core democrat and confessed liberal. Believes in socialism and communism. Says the right kind has not been tried yet (sound familiar). Bounced around in college until about 3 or 4 years ago using loans and grants to help pay since high school (now 40). Believes all loans should be forgiven and will be. Lives rent free with an older couple who has an add on to their house. No bills other than loans, cell phone, car insurance, and medical insurance he has with Apple where he works part time in Knoxville.

Enough of that, you guys enjoy the day and God Bless.

Oh and Yeah, IT'S GAME DAY!

Good morning all,

Back at it on this supposed work day. I am at the house working, training, not a thing going on other than I need to pick some stuff up at Walmart I ordered. I will be home today to receive My Darlings cell phone. After today I am off until Tuesday... I am off most days but I show up...

Who knows what win lurks in the hearts of these Cats.... who knows.... Yeah, it "don't" feel good. Go Cats...

Good morning folks. I got cleared for doing more exercise at my two-week post-surgery visit yesterday, so I walked four miles this morning. I feel some soreness but I was told I couldn't hurt the repaired joint so I'm going to look at that like any discomfort that comes with resuming exercise. Still limping. I guess that just takes time.

Cool and clear in the east. Settling into another work day. Cats need a win tonight. I hope something has clicked with what should be a talented team.

Have a good day folks.

Belated Merry Christmas to the D-League...

Cats really need the Mizzou game tomorrow, Kansas murdered them but they just beat Illinois by 22.

Hopefully we start off the SEC schedule right, really would like to see us 11-3 going up against Bama.

I think the game will be close though.

I have very little faith in this team.

Game day! My fingers are crossed.

It is a sunny 32°F here and we are supposed to get to 53°. We still have a little snow on the ground but that should all be gone soon. I got out in the snow yesterday and refilled the bird feeders. Those little dudes really hit it hard in the winter and they depend on me.

You all have a nice Wednesday.

I have no faith in them either, been betting against the Cats on whatever the line is most games and winning every time with maybe one exception...Not sure I will bet this one, we are currently 3.5 point favorites...it was easy to bet against the Cats when the Bellermine line was like 25.5 but that this a close line on the road.

I will probably stay away from tonight's line, traditionally a lot of SEC schools seem to play very weak non-conference schedules so it can be difficult to judge some of those teams until you see them in a few SEC games.

Man, I posted more on RR in the one TU thread than I have posted on RR since Cal took a knee...

My New Years desire came early and unexpectedly. BKO is trying to temper expectations but it has nothing to do with that. A UK son that wore his jersey proud is coming home. P_SS on Cal and the rest at this time and P_SS on expectations. I am just happy with some positivity around UK for once. Positivity in general...

I respect that my friend, I truly do.
I’m unfortunately a pessimist and have absolutely no confidence in Calipari

Believe me I’m also hoping to be wrong.

The University Of Kentucky basketball heritage started many, many years ago. Here is a very old film clip dating back to 1946 and shows a little of UK's NIT Championship game. The NIT was the "national champion" in those days.

We get a glimpse into a Kentucky practice run by Rupp and Lancaster. There were specific plays for out of bounds plays that the current team might want to take a look at.

They played with a purpose and plan. Today's teams just look like they run around willy-nilly, like they're on a playground and don't really know what they're doing.

😬 😬 😬 😬 😬

Dave was the only working in that photo.😬 It reminded me of a scene I saw on the George Washington Bridge in New York. Traffic was backed up for miles and creeping for hours. When we finally got to the "construction area" we saw two men patting down hot tar to fill a pothole. There were at least 15 men standing around watching with 15 parked trucks they drove to the site. And two poor souls were doing all of the work. I bet it cost $250,000 to fill that little pot hole.

@Bert Higginbotha ...it looks like I was dumb not place a bet on this game, I should have kept my streak going of betting against Kentucky on the line.

This team may not end up making the NCAA tournament. Bama and Kansas are likely losses...we know Rick Barnes is going to beat Cal at least once this year like always. That is 7 losses counting the 4 we already have and that isn't even considering the rest of the schedule or the SEC tournament. This team will most likely end up with double digit losses and almost no quality wins.
