Hi All,

I hope your day has been great. I've been back and forth to DC too much. Just working. Posted more in the political thread but not much there either. (Don't have to think as much over there....) Have a blessed evening and all sleep well...

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F, clear and windy. Today's high expected around 70°F.

Musketeers came back and beat Horns last night. Wife and I watched.

Wishing y'all another great day.

Good morning folks.

March Madness begins in earnest today. Bring it on.

Very busy day at work, then I hope to ease into watching games through Sunday.

It is my dad’s birthday. Sadly he’s in the hospital still but I hope out soon. 94 today.

My daughter’s birthday tomorrow. She was born under the intense glow of Hale Bopp comet in 1997. I watched Pitino’s Cats best St. Joseph’s during the labor pains in the delivery room.

Life rolls on. Have a great day.

Morning Legionnaires!

Mid 30's this morning with moderate winds. Wind chill factor is 22°. High to be in the mid 60's. Waiting for the mid to upper 70's to hit the water again. That starts this weekend.

Guess I will just have to find something to keep me busy for the next few days. Going to look at the matchups this morning to see what might be good games. Have not looked at the matchups yet so...

Tomorrow is trip to OKC for Bass Pro Shop, Asian Market, and whatever else wife wants to do. She took tomorrow and Monday off.

Doing taxes this weekend so we have something there to look forward to. ☹️ Used to get money back, but last couple of years had to pay.

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

Brendon Donavon's barn.

Welcome to 'The Barn': Brendan Donovan's new at-home training grounds

JUPITER, Fla. -- A self-professed “homebody” -- even though he had lots of different homes growing up in a military family \-\- Brendan Donovan wanted a new property that could meet his living and workout needs when he and his wife, Aly, decided to relocate from South Florida to South

Had to post this, just enjoyed watch Ali work. Had a darn chance to interact with him once and was to young and stupid to do it. (Met his mother in law at an insurance session in Louisville years ago and she gave my his Michigan address and told me if I'd write to him he'd answer me.).. I didn't, how stupid of me.... I have very few regrets in life but that is one of them.

 

[BBUK]

Just saw this too. Thought it may be interesting. A filmed lightening strike...

Enjoyed the picture. I have fond memories of my Drill Sergeant. SFC Henson. Fort Lost in the Woods... C-4-3.... Dude was hard but fair. Cannot ask for more... I am thankful!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Louisville fans had to know as soon as the brackets came out and they were scheduled to play in Rupp Arena that they were doomed. They couldn't beat Henry Clay or Bryan Station in Rupp -- the Voodoo is too strong to overcome for Little Brother. They see the banners and fall apart.

Most people remember their DI's. I remember all 3 of mine Atchley, Paul, and Hawkins.

 

[cordmaker]

Wow, Clemson with13 points at half-time!!!!

 

[BBUK]

Made me want to share pics of my most prized possessions. My time with USAREC for two different commands USAREC HQ and the 5th Brigade... They knew I liked John Wayne back then and gave me this too...

I worked 11 years for them but ended up having to go where the promotions were though i did rise through the ranks there as well. I am thankful... (I clouded my name out but several of you know my name if you remember it.)

 

[MdWIldcat55]

The ACC is horrific so far. Louisville blown out. Clemson with 13 at the half to McNeese. 13 points at the half would embarrass their football team.

You were a hard head Sir. (Took three of them to get through to you huh???) 😁


I had a Drill Sergeant Wertz as well. He was okay but he ended up dating and marrying a recruit. (I found that out at another duty station after the fact. (He was focused it seems but I let him.....slide. Ole girl was nice but darn... He was bit to state the least.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Wow, Clemson with13 points at half-time!!!!

They now have 18 points with under 15 minutes left in the 2nd half haha.


EDIT: Also saw Georgia down 21-3 with 13 minutes left in the 1st half.

Not to Kentucky!

I remember mine, Holler, Scream and Yell!!!

HA HA Sir, initials wc...

 

[berniecarbo]

The thing I recall most about basic is on the first day, the DI asked if anybody had any college. One guy got all excited. He was kind of short, so he was jumping and waving his raised hand so he would be noticed, while hollering, "me. I do." The DI said, "Good, you are my latrine queen."

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Texas down, Clemson down and Georgia going down.

What do they have in common: the all beat Kentucky.

OUCH!

 

[BBUK]

Laughed out loud.... Thought of Brother Sawnee...

Yeah but Gonzaga rolled and Kentucky beat them. Gotta be an optimist Bert.

Sir was being an optimist. The Cats can do it. Gotta WHIP that arse!!!!

That is actually true. However, I did get promoted out of basic due to winning the High PT, High BRM, along with all first time goes in all other areas and kept the Super Troop arm band throughout basic. Super Troop arm band allowed me to go to the front of every line in our unit. Picture is a bit blurry but the Arm Band in picture has ST (Super Troop) on it. As I have posted before, I am very competitive and did not lose it throughout basic.

 

[warrior-cat]

I remember mine, Holler, Scream and Yell!!!

Yeah, I knew those guys too. Holler was a loudmouth from the sticks, Scream did it from the mountain tops and grated on your nerves, and yell was a rebel who wanted more, more, more.

SIX GAMES CATS, SIX GAMES!!!! Git-Er-Done.....

We need to watch out for that Trojan Horse.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Glad that Friday has arrived.

I haven’t been outside yet but I can hear the wind absolutely howling outside so the weather must be a little raw.

Tournament game day for the Cats. It has been a while since that’s led to a satisfying win. I hope this is the beginning of a new era.

Have a great day.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning and Happy Friday from ATX. Currently 45°F and clear. Today's high may reach 79°F.

Midwest Regional, 7:10 ET, Troy vs our Wildcats. Go Big Blue!

Wishing y'all another great day.

Morning D-Leaguers!

I Quit using the French picture to start these as the French have surrendered themselves to evil. No other way to describe it.

Enough of the political rant, now for News! (with respects to Paul Harvey) I miss that guy almost as much as Cawood (I said almost).

44° this morning with winds 20-25mph (feels like 22°). Today's high to reach around 70°.

Regular workout and monster walk this morning before heading to OKC to Bass Pro Shop and then whatever wife wants to do. OBTW, the monster turned 4 yesterday, got extra treats and was pampered. She was a happy girl.

I have mixed emotions about the Arkansas-Kansas game. On one hand, I wanted Cal to be done but on the other, I want the chance to widen our lead over Kansas. Funny name for a state Arkansas. It looks as if there were people who came from Kansas who decided that they wanted to name that state as their Kansas but left out the e in are (country pronunciation for our). AreKansas? ☺️

Hey, you worker bees be careful out there today (TGIF) and God Bless.

 

[UK82]

No real surprises on Day 1, maybe Clemson getting beat but the ACC is really bad. I expect today's games will be different. Cats should win and hopefully Butler can contribute.

 

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

I'm excited about the tourney again this year. I'm getting together with some buddies to watch the game tonight. It's been a while since I wanted to watch UK with others. Things are looking up.

I've stayed busy lately. Happens every early spring, but this time throwing in more Doc visits than usual.

GO BIG BLUE!

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Ole Miss up 44-26 on North Carolina at the half. Love to see that.

Go Cats tonight! Pope gets his first NCAA tourney win.
