Still cracks me up seeing Maxxx and UCF argue with themself.
Internets are weird but awesome these days.
Met a great dude (80 obviously)from here today and met up with a chick from IG today at Country Boy in Gtown. Not weird at all about it.

Did you get lucky with one or both?
Paternity leave over, back to the grind (although helping with 2 kids is worse a lot of days). 596 unread emails, should be a fun couple days.
Most usually in GYERO, once I think of a reply to a subject that's being discussed (sometimes 4-5 subjects at a time), someone else has already replied with a post that was better than what I was going to post anyway. My place is a lurker with the occasional post on youth sports. That's the season of life I've been in for what seems like half my life and I feel like I've seen it all and heard it all. This weekend I had a very different sports parent experience than what I'm used to.
My 19yr old ran the No Business 100 which starts and finishes at Pickett State Park in Jamestown, TN and circles up through KY and the Big South Fork area. It's some sort of qualifier for a race out west so there were runners there from all over the eastern United States. His only other race besides high school XC was a fun run type half marathon where people dressed up like Santa and elves and ran through Pigeon Forge. We were hoping he would just finish the 100 miles before the 33hr cut-off as he's never really ran trails competitively or ran for any length at night. Before we got to the race location, I had given him a 50% percent chance of finishing in my head. After seeing the other runners and just how big of deal these things are, I dropped to a 30% chance of completion.
The hardest part for his crew was the waiting. Is he ok? Did he get bitten by the copperheads or have to wait on the momma bear and her cubs the other runners were talking about? Did he fall off the 3 or 4 ladders they had to climb? Did he get lost in the dark with his Ace Hardware headlamp? (Talk about feeling like a terrible dad by putting him out there with Ace headlamps.)
He ended up finishing 14th out of 206 runners in some of the toughest terrain that the Big South Fork, Scott State Forest and Pickett State Park could throw at them. Several of the seasoned runners said that this was the toughest terrain they have ever seen for a 100 miler. It was pretty cool to hear the buzz in the aid stations about the 19yr old kid out there doing so well as the race progressed. It was even cooler to hear other crews cheer for your kid by name as he came into and then left the aid stations.
To see him finish that race in 27:05 and become the youngest person to ever finish the NB 100 was like seeing him hit ten 3 pointers, rush for ten touchdowns, hit two holes in one, and pitch 5 straight no hitters all in the same weekend. The feeling of seeing him burst through the woods at each aid station that we could crew is a feeling of relief that I can't quite put into words. Then to actually see him cross the finish line left me speechless for the first time in my life.
UKO still sucks.

Being a dad is a kick ass ride for sure. Unless your kid is UKO.
That's pretty badass. I assume that gets him in Western States?
Straight PTI porn.

That's my understanding. I'm really new to all of this. I will say that the running community are some of the most helpful people I've ever been around. They could obviously tell that my wife and I had no idea what we were doing and were really helpful to us. My kid was really grey at mile 88 which was just after daybreak. One of the runners that has done like 20 of these things took time before he left the aid station to give us advice on how to help him and gave him a pep talk. Those are people that you never forget.
Went to see Marcus King Band last night… dude is a guitar phenom. Voice ain’t bad either. 2.5 hours of smokin tunes.
he’s opening some of Chris Stapleton’s tour - so if your seeing that show… get there early and buckle up.

Yea, the post game show was deleted from the internet. Sorry about that. Was a really fun hour, though. Loved everyone who called in. We'll do it again sometime, for sure. Maybe I'll keep it a little less "raw and uncensored."
-Dangerous, dangerous game this weekend. Moving on from celebrating last weekend. Whole town has an anxiety hangover. Feel like we're notorious for the follow up let down. We've been here before with that same thing. UF in 07. I think we nut up, mainly because we've never had this type of quality depth, but I think it's an absolute rock fight. Coach O fighting for his life down there coming off an embarrassing home loss. Want a special season, you can't let this type of game get you. Time to take another step.
-Yeah, that content was a bit much to have floating around out there these days. Hilarious though.
-Turned the page on baseball. Straight in to shooting, dribbling and passing drills. Kid can ball and I have no idea where he gets it. Getting harder to just let him win at horse, as he's just doing it these days.
-Found a murdered mole or large mouse, kinda hard to tell missing it's head, on the back deck. Investigation underway. Next to the crime scene were a couple peanut shells the neighbor feeds the squirrels, which are now my prime suspects. This happened right under one of our cameras, so I'm going to be reviewing footage this afternoon. Will keep you updated.
-Buddy bought a little 2 man sauna for his place. I'm intrigued. I love a good sweat just need to find somewhere to put it.
-How has fall break turned into an all week thing? We didn't even have that shit in grade or high school.
-New Kids on the Block was my first concert. 😮
-Those SEC Short folks are amazing. They crush it.
-Merry Christmas from the CDC, here's how you should plan to celebrate your upcoming Holidays, plan accordingly: Host a video chat party with family and friends to share in the celebration, Plan a special meal with people who live with you inspired by the holiday or event, Have an outdoor celebration with everyone at least 6 feet apart, Watch virtual events and celebrations, Drive or walk around your community to wave to neighbors from a safe distance, Take food or gift to family, friends, and neighbors in a way that does not involve contact with others, such as leaving them at the door, Throw a virtual dance party and collaborate with friends and family on a playlist, Celebrate outside with neighbors and friends, Attend a virtual ceremony or celebration.
🤣
No "Christmas with the Ratpack" while tossing back bourbon and stuffing yourself stupid. Even if you're triple vaxed and double masked. Don't see or touch people outside of your home just have a virtual dance party. BWAHAHA. Jesus tapdancing Christ with these people. What a clown show. Sorry, Rach, I'm cooking a big ass rib roast with my family and stuffing myself until I'm on the verge of puking. Especially the ones I didn't get to see last year. You can go right ahead and f*ck off.

SAE dropped so many f-bombs at the end of that postgame podcast, I half-expected him to wrap it up with the Lord's Prayer.
*makes note to NOT invite anth to my annual MaxPowerrr Silent Disco Zoom Holiday Throwdown*
Full week fall breaks are the norm outside of Lexington and I guess Louisville. We had a full week starting in the late 90's.
Silent Discos make me angry and is so typical for this new generation of kids.
One of the main beauties of music is enjoying it and the vibe it puts out with other people in a social gathering.
Seeing a bunch of disphits dancing in silence with headphones on literally makes me want to rip off the fng headphones and start smashing them.

*takes Richie off list too then*
I thought those things only existed in movies scenes based in NYC. Those don't happen in real life, right?
As someone who went to universities in the south, Midwest, Appalachia, and out West I can say full week fall breaks are absolutely not the norm whatsoever.
I’m loling at the image of you dipshits drinking 6 Miller lites before a silent disco. Learn appropriate drugs. Silent discos are amazing.

About to go pour an Old Forester. Might hit the pen. And then, uh, get some sleep after that. Y'all be good. Go Cats. F em. Hey, F em. F Florida. F Dan Mullen. Honest to God, F the entire SEC. I'm so F'n sick of it. I am so F'n sick of it. Like we have to be polite and ask to win these F'n ballgames. F Florida. Like they deserved it or were entitled to win that F'n game. F em. We won that GD game because we F'n outplayed em. We were tougher than em. Don't take shit off these people. Don't take shit off Florida. We're going to beat em a lot more moving forward than these people ever even F'n imagined. Let's F'n go. Go Big Blue. I'll see y'all next week. Go Cats.
Tebow knew what was up before the game on Saturday. He was the first of those talking heads to bring up not sleeping on the Cats. I have a feeling he's not a fan of Mullen and I bet he sees more Tebow attitude in the Cats than he does the Gators. Like I said, he knew what was up. He wasn't confident in his team.
Update: The unidentified rodent wasn't murdered on the porch as previously suspected. The f*cker has his head bit off and then dropped from the tree onto the porch at approx 5:16am. Cold blooded. Does cast a small shadow of doubt now, could the birds be in play?
Anth, if you determine that it's actually a bunny, let me know.
It's called a cat. Cats be killing everything....including gators.
Potential chrome/anthracite BLACKOUT! this Saturday…
Whatever. Just know if something goes bad, that’s the reason, and it was 100% preventable. We just broke down barriers wearing all blue, crowd split beautifully in blue/white. Would be too easy to do that again. I’d like to know who’s ultimately responsible for that crap.
The only solution is to WIN BABY WIN.

Love this part about Hopkins, which jives with basically everything we've been hearing all summer.
Hopkins is the one to watch. Do not be fooled by the fact that he’s the least-heralded of Kentucky’s three freshmen. Calipari says Hopkins is “way better” than expected and handles the ball as well as the team’s guards.
“I’m going to be honest: I didn’t think Bryce was that good either until I saw it myself,” Mintz says. “I mean, we knew he was good. He goes to Kentucky. But Bryce is for real. Bryce is really good. If he can get comfortable and play the way he’s playing in practice every day, he won’t be here long. That’s just me being honest with you. I thought he’d strictly be a down-low player, but Bryce is a guard. He can really shoot the ball, and he thinks the game really well. And when you tell him something he’s never done before, he’s like, OK, show me so I can learn it. He doesn’t play like a freshman. That’s a young man out there.”

We've all been there Urb. Woke up thinking you had a pocket full of cash only to find a dozen receipts, no shoes, torn shirt, random bruises or gashes, and 2 missing credit cards. I'd suggest some coconut water.
Juxtapose this with the 12 year-old SAE fan letter from back in the day. You’ve come a long way, baby!
Also maybe i'm missing something but was Urban Meyers behavior *that* bad? Obviously not a good look for a married guy, but this is the NFL here.... there's a lot worse that people have done/are doing within that league
The problem is he’s 0-4, pretty clearly doesn’t want to be there, players get disciplined for all sorts of nonsense and he skipped the team flight after a loss (granted to an outstanding Bengals team) to throw on his OSU pullover and troll Harry’s.
I mean Tyreek Hill is still gainfully employeed. This reaction is purely because of his pompous attitude, which I I can't help but chuckle about.
Urban Meyer and his wife (a NURSE) both knew his asst coach’s wife was getting the crap beat out of her and did nothing about it. He’s taking more grief for this. A stupid world we live in.
And no, I don’t feel one bit sorry for him.
And no, I don’t feel one bit sorry for him.
Big Cat had a pretty good take on his wife being ride or die to a problematic level on “The Yak” yesterday.
ahem...a HERO
