I’m doing yeoman’s work to further the cause. Friday though, with childhood buddies nonetheless....haven’t missed one since grade school. Had to (thankfully) give up playing tackle a few years ago because old.
To your point this year I’m bringing my eldest to get some reps off the pine. Coming off an undefeated city championship season in flag football, he’s pumped he got the call up while BRax’s hoodlums are busy rolling their bats.
Doing my best to keep alive the pomp, the pageantry of Backyard Turkey Football.
If any of you guys need some extra boys for neighborhood kid football games holla. My little animals haven't tasted blood in a few weeks. They're getting that itch
This basketball team is boring and they suck. I don't blame anyone for not going to the games. Also they all look the same. Idk who is who. Except wenyen.
Thanksgiving - the GOAT. Traditional food wth the inlaws tomorrow, Mexican at my families Friday, and Gatlinburg, Tennessee Saturday. Can't wait to ride the sky lift and look at the beautiful lights scattered like a thousand diamonds on the majestic smoky mountains. Fingers crossed it doesn't burn down while I'm there again.

Ritchie, don't forget the Justus' promotion (and NCAA rules) prevents Robic from coaching on the court.
Not surprised in the least that BRax is spending a holiday weekend in a place that quite literally was incinerated into ashes a year ago.
Trust me. I’m fully aware.
Robes is invaluable from a sideline standpoint & that’s no longer.
I was there when it burned down last year. Was hoping to get the hillbilly golf demo, but no dice.
The team is not exciting or fun to watch boohoo. Actually my interest has not waned in the slightest. The unknown of how this works out is intriguing and while I'm not sure we even win the SEC let alone the NCAA, I don't think this is a 2013 rehash.
The pace of play compared to last year is jarring. This may be the biggest adjustment most people are having to make. It is like night and day.
I think they are better defensively this year compared to last. Yeah they make mistakes that lead to easy baskets but the overall length appears to bother teams causing them to shoot poorly (Kansas just hit a school record 19 3's in a game) and it makes up for mistake.
PJ Washington has been a disappointment for me compared to the small sample size we saw of him in the preseason. It is understandable but hopefully he puts it together because he has the potential to be a nightmare.
They are shooting 37% from 3 which surprised me actually. Knox, Green and SGA all shooting 40% and above (SGA is a only 2-5 tho) that is a pretty decent clip. I think Gabriel is better than his 30% and I think Diallo's 28% is probably spot on tho. those are your main 3 ball takers.
Green is the pg. The team just runs better with him at the helm. He will learn in time how to defend but sometimes baptism by fire is the best way to do it. His teammates also need to learn what to do to help him out.
I have never really listened to Cal's post game pressers in the past. I don't know why but I have been this year and they are strangely calming for me. Maybe American Pickers would do the same but I'm not sure.
So yeah they suck but I still watch cause I'm a Kentucky Fan. I wish they were playing in this PK80 thing but I don't think they are ready for that.

When Vanderbilt comes back we will see how the cake bakes. Until then, this is just the preheat stage, don’t even have all the ingredients in the bowl to mix yet. Gonna be patient.
Here is a decent article on the importance of Robes:

This is the youngest team Cal has ever had at UK, which is saying something. There's such a small sample size, none of you college basketballs know how to "analyze" this team (/noJustice) because none of you have any idea what they are gonna do in 3 months. I know I don't.
I do know this - they would develop into a hell of a team by year 3. Unless, of course, their confidence shattered in year 2 because they had to shame themselves to come back after the draft.
Making party mix this afternoon. What do you all put in yours? If you put pretzels and/or Cheez-its in yours, you are enemy of the state.
-Rice Chex
- Whet Chex
- Corn Chex
- Cheerios
- Almonds, peanuts, pistachios, cashews, beer nuts
- Melted butter, Worchstershire sauce, garlic salt, onion powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, all-spice.

I mean it could be worse we could be watching baseball so stfu
We can become enemies of the state for what we put in our party mix now? Good lord.
*For the record, I buy my party mix and it’s glorious.

Cheez-Its make everything incredible.
Kinda have to respect the guy behind the scorer's table with straight up Roman tonsure haircut.

Need to double or triple the post every possession on D, and everyone else needs to be sagging/helping down low -- we are getting KILLED at the rim.
GOOOOO. GOOOOOOOOO.
Cal is coaching his balls off.
