-Enjoyed the extravaganza, thanks to the shems as always. The lass and I are such amateurs anymore. We were just so happy to be out and kidless...we were bouncing around excited, the prevailing vibe of most everyone else was "let's get this shitty game out of the way I guess I'll have a beer." Not to say everyone wasn't awesome, because they were, but following such an intense start to the season, the opponent and crap weather...that's what you get. Wish I could make it next Thursday, that tailgate will be off the fleek!
-The most pregame buzz obviously came from the UL news. Richie was particularly gleeful...like his brain was moving too fast to process all the delicious angles of the story.
-That game was so close to total disaster, erasing the momentum Stoops has built and the glee of the UL dumpster fire that I don't even particularly want to acknowledge it happened. Like a near death experience that I'm just not ready to relive.
-Had to visit the UL boards today, those people have no shame. I feel like if this was going on at UK a large contingent of our fans would be calling for heads to roll...not there, the comments are largely aimed at discrediting the "whore" and downplaying the entire story. That shouldn't surprise me given the track record of that place but like Jones keeps saying "where is the breaking point?"
-Nice to have the Bill Simmons pod back. I know some of you hate him but I enjoy most of his stuff especially during NBA season. Plus, ESPN keeps killing all my other shows...removing SVP and replacing him with Kanell? Nice way for the four letter to waste one of its best talents (Russillo) by flanking him with an exjock version of Greenie.
