- I really feel for JHB4UK this week. Dude probably can't sleep, can't eat.
- Honestly do feel bad for you Louisvillians right now. Hang in there. Cal will be 9-1 against Pitino here in a few months.
- It's amazing how far my attitude toward UC sports has come in the last 20 years. I went from Louisville-level hatred for them to a patronizing "pat on the head" liking to see them do well condescension today. I don't actively root for them, but I don't care enough to want them to lose. They have no effect on UK at all. All their fans hate Kentucky, but it's more of a slap in the face to them when I respond with indifference. I love it.
My heart is open to future hatred, though, if either program becomes relevant.
- Nippert is cozy and a good spot to catch a game. Always shows up well on these Thursday night tilts.
- Michigan State continues to come strong on the recruiting trail, landing Jaren Jackson, a top 15-20 kid.
- I worship Norah Jones. Love everything about her. Also think "Norah" is a Top 5 female name- right there at the top with Claire and Audrey.
- Headed to Kroger the other night- ask the lass if she needs anything, "yeah, pick me up 3 honeycrisp apples." Ok. Get there and these MFers are $2.99/lb. Each apple is right about one pound. I'm not spending $9 on 3 apples. It's the principle of it. Absurd. I'd feel like a dumbass.
- Wiener dog races today at lunch to kick off Oktoberfest. 100s of dachshunds wearing buns racing each other. Cracks me up every year.
- Oktoberfest itself is a shit show. Silly crowded. Dumbasses trying to roll strollers through the crowds at 7pm on a Saturday night. Bad tats. Etc. But I still like making an appearance and love the food and beer.
- How is the Bourbon Festival in Bardstown? My buddy and his wife are checking it out this year.
- Any of you NKy/Cincinnatians been to
Newberry Bros in Newport- right across from Pompilios? Cool spot. They have more bourbon than any bar on the planet.
