I got frostbite 3x over there. All while running ranges.

Good morning everyone
Game Day! I think this game is important. We need some energy/effort back and if we don't see it this game I believe it's over for the year. I predict we'll see it. Oh, saw where Pope took the seniors out to eat, but Kerr was not with them. So, red shirt this year and back next? I think so after that pic. I really think this team missed his energy and effort after he went out. He may have been a more important piece than we give him credit.
Long day yesterday driving, working at the lake, driving back. Not much on tap today except wife has some plans. I've been so busy I'm not sure what they are....going to town to get little projects done. Then I'll watch the game while she has a bible study meeting.
Enjoy your day.

I absolutely love pound cake.Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Winds kicking up. Severe fire risk. Possibility for thunderstorms.
Dell fixed my laptop. Too awesome.
Chemo today.
Wishing y'all another good one.
Ok, D, is there any way to watch the Senior night festivities? They don't ever show the whole thing anymore!
Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and clear. We lost power for 3 hours yesterday. Dust storm knocked out lots of powerlines.
Leaving in 45 minutes for hospital. Wife needs a procedure.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning folks.
Nice early March win for the Cats. LSU is not a great team by SEC standards, but they are probably as athletic and big and talented as some teams Kentucky might face in the first couple rounds of the tournament, so steamrolling them is a hopeful sign.
Warming up fast in the east. Heading into work. I hope everyone has a good day.

Fun game. It helped to partially take my mind off the chills, wet cough, sore throat, aching, etc. from the flu. Missouri coming up. May have to play them twice in 5 days. Hopefully a win will keep the Cats out of Auburn's bracket.
The Cats had fun last night and so did I.
Plus Auburn went down big and Mississippi State lost to Texas.
I dread going to Missouri. They can really be hard to beat at home.

Not to my knowledge.
Back in the Joe B. Hall era the NCAA outlawed UK showing the Senior night festivities because it was an unfair recruiting tool. Before the advent of the SEC Network we could see then on the UK network but it is gone.
They were pissed off the UK did it better than Duke, Indiana or UNC!
I was talking about it being live.
Remember those days. Guess this might be the only way to watch Senior Night now.

The thing I hate about Auburn losing is, guess who will be #1 in the polls, ESPN has drooled all year for this day! Duke will always be #1 in the toilet for UK fans!!!
To get a higher seed & away from AU, need to win & have A&M or MSSt to lose. Both at home, but MSSt has tougher game against AR.
Man, Barns is constantly gripping and riding the refs, never stops!
Good morning from ATX. Currently 46°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 73°F. Wildfire risk still in effect.
Wishing y'all another great day.

Good morning folks. Hard at work since 7am. It's feeling more like spring in the east. I hope the really cold days are behind us.
I meant to post this on Senior Night but got distracted. Cannot watch without fighting tears, even after all these years. If I make it that far, Winston Bennett's dad wiping away his tears does me in.
Have a great day folks

I remember Charles Hurt (RIP) bawling his eyes out during My Old Kentucky Home. Even Dick Enberg's and Al McGuire's voices broke after it was over. It just means more to a Kentucky man.
Ok, with MO losing, all we have to do is beat MO to get #7 seed & in opposite bracket from AU. We don't win, we deserve whatever we get.
Hello all,
It's going, oh the stories.... MTF at some point. Just keeping on, keeping on... I do pray all are well. God's healing touch to you ATXC.....

This should be the only version with Happy singing it on senior night!!!!!!
This one is for BBUK. I don't listen to much music, but the wife was listening to some today. A Bobby Bare song called Detroit City came on. When I was a baby, we moved to Detroit so dad could get a job making cars. We only stayed for one year till my folks got homesick, so I don't remember much about it. The song brought back memories.
Most of the time at DaNang, I had enough rank that I worked the ECP as head man at the bomb dump. It was on a hill a ways off the main base. Sometimes at night, a few hills away, Charlie would start lobbing rockets at the main base. They would call Puff and he would come out with his mini guns. Puff was a gunship with 3 mini guns. Each was capable of firing 6,000 rounds a minute. Sometimes even 2 or 3 would come out. With tracer rounds, it looked like streams of fire coming out of the sky. The Vietnamese thought it looked like fire breathing dragons. The Peter, Paul and Mary song called Puff The Magic Dragon was popular at the time, thus the name Puff.
Someone left a radio at the ECP and we kept it on Armed Forces Radio. I'd sit there watching Puff work out and think about the enemy on the receiving end. It seemed like they always played Detroit city while it was going on and I'd think about all those things and how nice it would be to be home.

Good story Bernie. Your line about thinking about the enemy of the receiving end reminded me of one night up on the Iraq-Saudi border, just before the Ground War part of Desert Storm. I was hunkered down with the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry (Quarter Cav) that was screening for the Big Red One. They were close enough to occasionally draw a few mortar rounds from the Iraqis, who would then haul ass before the Americans could call in counter-fire. (One day they sent over a bunch of what must have been smoke shells and the guys I was with were sure they were being gassed...False alarm.)
One night it came over the radio net to watch straight out ahead of our position because a Special Forces MC-130 was going to drop a 15,000 pound Daisy Cutter on the Iraqi positions as part of the brutal softening up process underway that included long MLRS and howitzer barrages every day. So, we're watching when the MC-130 passed overhead on our radar, and the bomb is dropped. The entire horizon lit up for either 13 or 19 seconds: I counted and wrote about it in a report but can't remember exactly. I couldn't imagine the poor Saddam-conscripted a-holes caught under that.
I went on Wikipedia to see if they had any details about the use of Daisy Cutters during Desert Storm and found this: Due to the size of the conventional blast, a British SAS unit that witnessed the explosion mistakenly assumed the U.S. had used a nuclear weapon and radioed back to their headquarters exclaiming, "Sir, the blokes have just nuked Kuwait!". That must have been a different bomb because the troops I was with were way out west of Kuwait, as part of the VII Corps Left Hook. But I understand the confusion. It was a massive blast.
