After a long, protracted, bitter Drop Writer's Strike, (it was some long days and nights on that picket line) my contract, as well as Coach Stoops, has been finalized. Hence, the return of the Drop Report.
Details remain confidential, but I can confirm whiskey, cigars and women were perhaps included. I do not speak for Coach Stoops on this, I will leave that for him.
As for the Ballbusting Beating we gave UofLOL here are the droppings..........
UK (0)
No drops, no turnovers, no problems. We only missed for 4 passes, not much to drop while Bustin' Balls Running The Ball.
As close as UK came was with 4:40 left in 3rd qtr. we could not line up near the goal line, had to call time out. The offense gathered around Coen, it seemed he read the play off the call sheet, looked up and said "What's The Problem" and then had a sly grin. Don't know the context but I like it. UNAPPEALABLE RULING: We were killing them and had time for humor
UL (1)
But it was a doozy. 2nd qt. 0:51 seconds #1, former top Louisville WR Jordan Watkins, suffered the old "Into The Portal Drop"... right into his arms and in true "Louisville Man" fashion he threw it up all over the field....there was some mouthing from the former UK commit, former UL commit, former pass catcher and current Portal Member. Apparently not only was he unable to see the ball, he was unable to see the scoreboard as I noticed UK's #14 had to point it out for him. Valentine also gave a slight tap on the elbow when walking away, which I can only assume, pushed Watkins into the Portal. UNAPPEALABLE RULING: Dropping Into The Portal
Passing
UK 15-19 89.4% (that's damn near Miss St level)
UofLOL 19-28 67.8% (Cunningham 12-20 60%)
Season Passing........ maybe later
Season Drops........ maybe later, after the bowl
In an unrelated note, game time was an unbelievable event at The Casa Rockford. Things got carried away... or did they? Big game with a post party celebration....Burned a couch... inside ... found microwave exploded, front panel and door gone..... don't know what was inside (small animal maybe) but we did kennel all our pets before the game, so may never know.......windows smashed, electricity out, computers inoperative... couldn't find one of my sons, but when dawn broke, found some guy in a UK FB helmet passed on my back patio between the empty Old Milwaukee kegs (thought the kegs were inside, that may explain the windows).... no idea who he is....lots of paper work with cops and fire department... will probably have to get the utilities marked again... but, all in all, ...... a great night.
(UPDATE) Did find the missing son. He's fine. Mrs. Rockford will probably be able to bail him out in the morning. GO CATS!
