Hopefully this game doesn’t look like the Maui invitational between Cal and Tubby which is what the first game reminded me of. Wish we could have a coach that knew how to run that Memphis offense from 12 years ago - was ahead of his time.

I also wish this team ran like they had Drose, CDR, Joey Dorsey and Rozier.

That would be amazing!
 
8 stories about Kobe Bryant, from The Undefeated:

In keeping with his nontraditional style, Richards, who worked for The Score at the time, asked Bryant if he could stay at his house the next time he was in Los Angeles. Taken aback, Bryant never answered. When Richards asked for his address later during pregame access, Bryant responded, “It’s Eight Out of Your Mind Avenue.”

[laughing] [laughing]

Eight on eight: A collection of stories of Kobe Bryant’s impact on everyday people (theundefeated.com)


"Eight Out Of Your Mind Avenue" sounds like the address anth would give Chief if he tried to stop by The Extravaganza.
 
Speaking of River City restaurants, have any of you Louisvillians ever been to any of the Koreana places?

I've been to Koreana II off Preston countless times and absolutely WORSHIP.

Good folks run that place too.

Edit: apparently its now called Koreana III so maybe its changed hands/been handed down

Meatball subs are fine. You can keep the calzones, though. Never has a food item seemed so fantastic on paper while being completely underwhelming in reality. Just bland breading with scalding hot sauce and food that's otherwise reserved for pizza toppings. Trash.

This, not even mentioning the selfishness of the order itself. Ever been to a pizza place with one asshole insisting he's just going to have a calzone? I mean what kind of narcissistic shit is that? Why did you even come? Next time order takeout and just sit in the GD car or just take it home. Selfish prick.

Ever asked for a review of a pizza joint and the monster says he got a calzone? Exactly. F that person.
 
- National sportswriters are naturally a pretty sanctimonious bunch, but the worst segment are baseball HOF voters. In most years, they already fall all over themselves with talk of who deserves to be in, the purity of the game, the steroid-era, etc. But now that Curt Schilling is up for possible induction, they're practically peeing down their leg rushing to see who can either be the WOKEST (don't put him in, we don't like his opinions) or who can maintain the "sanctity" of the Hall (it's based on on-field performance, and he didn't violate the spirit of the game). Put me in the second group, FWIW.

- Six of us (my four, plus my in-laws) are planning our vacation through the West, and I've been in charge of picking the restaurants in each city. I gladly accepted the assignment, because it guarantees that we won't be alternating between Panera and Outback the entire time. Chose a meatball place in Salt Lake City. Came with great recs and some Food Network street cred as well. I'll report back, Max.

- Did anyone else and their parents fall for the old "Who's Who Among American High School Students" scam back in the day? Man, I thought I'd ARRIVED, being "selected" for that thing. Then I realized it was just a ploy to get parents to buy the books. It was like TOPS in Lex selecting "Best Of" award recipients, and only selecting companies who buy ad space.

- Anth, I switched to the space behind the dash here at work, and it just bled over into GYERO. I still don't know how I feel about it personally, but we're in a pandemic. There are no rules.

- Tramps like us. #RIPTrapper

Who brought up calzones? You brought up calzones
 
Notes from the mainland and recovering from a Costa Rica vacation:

2 days in Fortuna, at the base of Arenal Volcano
2 days in Monteverde
2 days in Quepas

Driving: holy smokes, we basically drove one big loop around the entire country, and averaged 30 miles/hour, tops. 2-lane roads, single car-wide bridges, 30+-degree climbs and descents, the occasional dirt road. Just perfect, and a huge part of maintaining their culture.

Cost: flights were $125 apiece on Delta. Car was $115/week. Air Bnbs were $30-60/night. Beers were $2. Food in tourist areas were Applebees/Chilis/TGI Fridays prices max. And this is supposedly the least expensive country in Central America.

Can't really overstate how deep and lush and green their rainforests are. The first two stops were our favorite, with days spent hiking in the mountains and exploring the flora and fauna. Lots of waterfalls (with Fortuna Waterfall easily being the best, and they allow you to jump in and swim at the base).

Monteverde Cloud Forest = you walk out to a steep point/overlook, and legit see the clouds rolling right over top of you. Like the world's biggest rave party smoke machine.

Tabacon Hot Springs =



(unreal)

Quepas = typical beach town, and a great way to end our trip.

Traveling is so gd cheap right now, it's crazy. And I've got to think it's going to stay this way for quite a while, since you now need a negative COVID test administered within 72 hours to return to the US. That's a logistical challenge. But if you can pull it off, Guatemala, Belize, Columbia, Panama, Mexico = all about a $2-300 flight.

Next up (maybe):



Any of the Real Men of GYERO wanna go this summer?
Tabacon is awesome. Unlimited hot springs access included in the cost of the room.

1996 visit Arenal was erupting every 15 minutes. Breathtaking!

They've never been addressed and I wasn't wasting another day.

Agree 100%, but show some respect, RICHIECATFAN.

-Every time I order a Calzone, I wish I'd gotten pizza 3 bites in. Guess Slice of Chicago ruined those for me, b/c they're all virtually the same, imo.

LaRosa’s calzones are outstanding.

And I’ve been burned too many damn times taking someone else’s opinion into account on food orders. F that. I’m an independent man.

Did I mention I’m married to a vegetarian?

Everything pissing me off right now- good thing I have UK basketball to bring my joy home at 7pm.
 
It was fairly peculiar at the time and weird now but how bizarre is it going to be when people look back in 15-20 years on the late 00s/early 10s and consider the Mumford&Sons, dressing like it’s Depression era, steampunk, etc. era?
 
-tried to hit the new sausage junt(boonedogs) Saturday afternoon. Packed...was told the kitchen was taking a 30-45min break. Nope.

^settled on pasta garage...where i proceeded to steal some poor bastards chicken picatta. One of those places you pick up your own food...i hadn't heard everyone order and it was on the shelf with the rest of our stuff, whatevs. After much cajoling he let me buy him a crafty as penance. Honestly I did him a favor as it woulda been sitting out for 5-10 before his ladyfriends meal was ready. Petty larceny, gang.

-also saturday picked up lcd soundsystem's self titled offering on vinyl at Pop's*...proceeded to get a nice 180 gram copy of zz top's "tres hombres" at cd central, nice.


*place gives me the willies (dirty/too much junk/disorganized) but i support local small business...so i hit it a few times a year.

If you're not a fan of calzones, rest assured that you won't see one in tonight's game... or hardly ever for that matter.

Not to mess up your schedule, but I would recommend Red Iguana in Salt Lake if you want good Mexican.
 
The Gamestop story is crazy, read about it yesterday. GYERO should run a short squeeze scam like that and finally open up our putt putt course with the earnings.

It's bad enough that vegetarians feel the need to tell everyone about their eating habits constantly. Now they have their spouses doing it too.

February 8 is the first day in Lexington the sunset is officially after 6pm. In 5 weeks it will be March. At least we have Black History month to carry us into spring.

Reading the daily adventures of krazy has become rather enjoyable. Can't wait until Wright Thompson does a book on him.

Pop's Resale is quite an interesting spot. Haven't been in a few years, but you could always count on it for having something odd for sale.

Cats by 5 big ones tonight
 
For once can touching Cal start my preferred lineup? :mad:

Howard
Mintz
Boston
Brooks
Jackson

6th: Allen, per his request

-Look, Bama has been on a historic (SEC) run as far as shooting is concerned. They’re due, OVERDUE, an off night.

Was listening to their radio guy on Leach today talk about how it’s a “shock” the first time a team plays them due to their style. Our players essentially admitted as much. We just played them yesterday, and they were apparently talking endless shit to everyone, including our Coach lmao.

I like Cal in this kinda situation. I’m taking the points.

Go Cats.
