D-League

Good morning folks.

Got the tree up yesterday. It’s a beauty. String the lights and will take our time with the ornaments.

Cats pulled away late. Now the training wheels come off. If UK can go 3-1 over the next four games I think we’ll know we have a team.

Dont know what to expect from the football team. I guess I’ll watch.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning everyone

Good game to come away with a W and score over 100 even if the 3-pt shooting was poor. Loving this team but it now gets real. We'll see. I wonder why Williams only played 19 minutes with Garrison on the sideline? Surprising. Something I also noticed and haven't seen mentioned....Carr hip checks on many of the screens he sets. I can't remember him being called for it so no biggie.

Our heat pump went out last night. Bad timing, but we can make due with the fireplace and a couple of electric heaters.

I guess I'll watch the football game mainly to watch the freshman QB. I'll just turn it off if it gets too bad. I don't stick it out til the bitter end anymore if I don't want to. Same thing for Cal's later years.

I hope everyone has a great day.
 
I have to stop myself from hoping Louisville scores on every possession. Only a complete humiliation of this inept, undisciplined, unlikable, heartless, gutless Kentucky team is likely to get Stoop-Id fired, and I have no hope for this program until he is gone.

I won’t root against the Cats, even this pathetic collection. But if they are going to get stomped, I hope it puts enough pressure on Barney that his natural weakness and indecision is overwhelmed by the fan base.

Yeah, had Cal not screwed up royally he'd still be here. Just a dufus type decision-making AD.
 
Good morning from Burbach, Germany. Currently 29°F and cold. Windy. Heading down to Bamberg later today.

Yeah, Cats stunk it up in football yesterday against evil Cards. Bah! Hope Stoops makes changes.

Went to Christmas Market last night in Siegen with nephew. Got a good buzz off 3 Glüweins. Heh. Awesome on a cold winter night.

Wishing y'all a good one.

Glad I missed this game. My condolences for those that didn’t. 😁
I missed it too. I was at a karate testing for 7 seven brown belts to black belts. After going through about 3 hours of the normal process of showing they know the required material (Katas, kicks, punches, elbow and other strikes), they had to break boards and or concrete slabs. Once finished, we got back to old school fighting as we had a few busted mouths and noses with a possible broken hand. Good fighting yesterday as full contact was implemented as well as take downs and then point fighting. Each participant had to fight at least nine people at 2 minutes each with the first minute of each bout being full contact and the second minute point contact to show what is called quick kills. Fight until a point is scored and then back away to disengage and then reengage with another attack until time was up. The only break during their fights for those testing was when one the fighters helping with the test bowed out and another bowed in and took their place.

Age range was from 16 to 40 something. Best fight was against two women. One was a 23-year-old 3rd degree black belt fighting a 20-year-old brown belt testing for her black and apparently, there was a little bad blood there between the two. It was the last fight for the 20-year-old, and she was very tired. That did not matter to the 23-year-old as she went at her with everything she had. After getting knocked down, she (the 20-year-old) got up and it was on. It became a free for all and when all was said and done, the 23-year-old was hurting too. This was old school testing, and these people earned their black belts the hard way.

Have been watching some Christmas Market videos on YouTube the past few days with my wife and daughter. They said they would like to go someday because it looked so beautiful. I went to quite a few in the 8 plus total years I spent during 3 tours to Germany. Glue Wein was definitely a staple of mine during those times. Really helped keep me warm. Food was good too.
 

With the forfeiture of 10 wins in 2021 Stoops has a losing record at UK in 12 years. Horrible SEC record too. Granted his first 3 seasons were building years but with the exception of a few it's a pretty ho hum record. Definitely not worth what UK is paying him. Unfortunately, the program is heading in the wrong direction and I don't see any relief in sight. 8 straight bowl seasons but the schedule almost always guarantees a low-level bowl.​

Good morning folks.

Thanks for the laughs BB. The great LaWanda Page and the legendary Redd Foxx. There's some good NSFW LaWanda Page routines on the internet. She had a wild, fascinating career.

Cold and clear in the east, It was 23f when I headed out for my run just before dawn.

Starting the march through Christmas movies. Love this time of year.

You all have a great day.

I'd turn our stove & oven on full blast too. Did that a ski resort some 20 years ago when the temp dropped to -20 & the furnace wasn't keeping up. Did the trick.

Don't forget Die Hard and Trading Places. Every year I have to watch those, and my wife will not watch with me because she tells me they are not Christmas movies. I tell her "yes they are, they happen at Christmas time".
