Big Jim Andrews was on the pre game radio the other night. He was talking about how Pope was trying to bring back the older players into the family. He told a story about he and others visiting Tom Payne in prison and how much it meant to Payne. Jim seems like a great guy.

Speaking of favorites this team is quickly becoming one of mine.
Otega Oweh really has a chance to be my favorite player from this century. I love his game.

Love his game too. If I'm not mistaken, Otega Oweh has a year of eligibility remaining after this season.
Good morning from ATX. 45°F and clear. Today's high expected around 78°F.
Game Day! Go Big Blue! I'm headed for the bus stop around 8 am. Plan on grabbing Chick-Fil-A down by university then walking over to parking lot for tailgating. Enter DKR stadium about an hour early.
Cats dominated at Rupp last light. Brea was on fire, as was Oweh. Love this team.
Wishing y'all an awesome Saturday.

Yes. Oweh and Garrison will have decisions that will be important to Pope's future here at UK. I sure hope they stay.
Enjoy the game. I'll be watching....mainly to see how good Texas is this year.
Between Oweh and Butler, we have the Tasmanian Devil and Ricochet Rabbit out there. Both of those guys are all over the place. They are fun to watch.
Same. Need something to watch today anyway.
#2 Ohio State vs. #5 Indiana at noon. Hoping for a tie.
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...
Evander and Mike...

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...
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.

Here's one for the records... Luke Appling at 75...
He only hit 45 homers in his MLB career, but hit one at 75 years old.
I am posting these separately because...they deserve it... Pete...
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.
