How do any of you fellow friends, who are self employed, deal with customers who call at all times of the night? I guess I understand if you are in the heating & air business/farm implements, and someone’s air /heat has gone out or tractor quit, but I work on watches and clocks (obviously, but not a necessity). People call me at all times of the night and I just don’t get it.

Dude just called me about a 100 year old clock I got going a month ago that has lost 3 minutes over a weeks time. At 7:45 at night. I used to have a customer that would call at all times of the night about her jewelry (when I did jewelry repair) but she was a pill head that was up all night. My rule is never call after 5 or on weekends if I’m having work done. Maybe I’m wrong.
Well, duh. Those people are calling their watch/clock guy at all hours because their damned watch/clock is broken and they have no idea what the hell time it is.
 
Technically I can throw that line out too. Let me think about it and I’ll call you back. But that’s not the point. How about you call me during reasonable business hours. I mean we are talking about a fu*^ing clock. Not your air/car/tractor/whiskey/running shoe.

Call GTE and add call waiting, 3-way calling, #67, caller ID, and #69. Good luck!

On the other hand, team turmoil didn’t dress like they were just coming home from going bar-hopping in Castro District of SF.
 
I watched Saul barf all over Two Keys and get carried out on his 21st birthday. Dude also loved smoking some blunts.

Tubby's Saul meter was based on what Donna instructed him to do.

Most times, public figures you admire turn out to be disappointments. Never would say that about Tubby. Worked a few of his summer camps. Genuinely a great guy. Treated everyone well. I pulled harder for him than any other KY coach in my lifetime. I still hate how it ended but he had to move on. Extremely happy he finally gets a place in the rafters.
 
Tubby was given the keys to a Ferrari when he was hired.

he has always seemed very grateful to have coached here as he should be. It would have taken a BCG like hire to **** up what he was handed.

-ive trained most people I interact with regularly to text me. Notifications are always silent...and if you reach out to me after 6 re: a work matter it better be important. Only take calls from immediate family after 9pm or before 7am.

-if you can't enjoy a nice all beef bologna Sammy with mayo/mustard/onion/American or cheddar...you need to reevaluate your life and all choices to date.

-sour cream and onion chips are the goat cold cut sidecar.

-chocolate covered peanuts and or raisins are the best "snackable" candy. Candy corn is a delicious fall treat.

More cute want to be edgy revisionist history.

The 96-98 team 3 year run is a very Cal-esque run. Every single team was different

Focal Points:

96 - Delk, McCarty, Antoine
97 - Mercer/Anderson
98 - Turner/Sheppard/Nazr/Mohammed/Padgett

Recruiting had seriously fallen off by 97 when Tubby took over and Rick had one foot out the door.

I can agree. I was able to caddie for Tubby years ago. Great man and common as dirt.

Also caddied for Pitino (cheater) and Jordan (not near the golfer he believes he is). Both were inhuman and jerks.

Tubby was such a good famous person to caddie for I can see why he didn’t make it at UK.
 
-Tubby deserved a 2nd Final Four. I hate to say that anyone *deserves* anything in March, but those teams he built that ultimately lost in the Elite 8 (or against GD UAB) were dope as hell and played hard. Amazing to think what might have been different for him and the program if he made it back after 98.

-Speaking of those years, anyone not impressed by what Stoops has done in Lexington is welcome to remember the football program back then. Lolz.
 
Reminiscing time, Tubby edition:

- Jason Parker is the biggest "what if" player in modern Kentucky basketball outside of Enes Kanter.

- 2003 is my favorite squad to not win a title. My heart broke into a thousand pieces when Keith Bogans' ankle exploded. My dad was so upset during the Elite Eight loss he started vacuuming around the television so he could still watch but wouldn't have to hear what Wade was doing to us. 🤣

- I named my first car Tayshaun.

- I WORSHIPPED the Cats Pause yearbooks in that era. I still have a huge stack of them. My grandma got me the little Cats Pause weekly newspaper subscription as a present one year and I camped out by the mailbox waiting for it, even though I had already read basically every article online someplace.

- I didn't have cable growing up and so dad and I (and sometimes my little brother) would either get in the car and try to pick up the AM signal, which really only worked if it was clear and cold, or squeeze around our dial-up computer and listen to the stream of Tom Leach and Mike Pratt. I could do without the O'Reilly's Auto Parts song being burned into my brain for all time, but I wouldn't trade those nights with my dad listening to the Cats for anything.

- Jefferson Pilot, lol.

- Clark Kellogg was turribul when he got moved to the main chair at CBS ("squeeze the pumpkin, Jim") but he used to be so solid in-studio. Especially when Seth Davis was brand new and absolutely rancid.

- Is YouKay still alive?

- I miss being this ate up with college basketball.
 
I thought Tubby, as a Pitino disciple, was going to shoot the 3 and press. He never was able to recruit big men, at the level he could at Kentucky. So, when he gets in that position, he recruits highly rated big men who don't fit the scheme. Slow down ball.
 
This is normal

So what you’re telling me is tubby inherited a bad situation and left things like he found them for the drunk?
