Don’t like DJ falling on every layup attempt… especially without contact. Dude will not last doing that (like Wall).

Mentioned this last night on text. Dude seems to fall with intention when he lays his body out on those left hand extensions...makes me nervous, but he seems pretty proficient at it.

Still, one awkward fall and his wrist/other is in trouble.
 
Sorry for the long post, but last night deserves it. Feel free to scroll past.

-Well, last night was a blast. Was this some Make-A-Wish thing that I haven’t been told about yet? Felt like it.

Ended up sitting directly next to our great family friends the DeWeeses. If you’re a Louisvillain you may know them or Dr. Bob DeWeese who was a state senator for decades. Mrs. D is the lady I visited in Louisville last week that was my passed Gma’s best friend. She’s like another GMA to me.

Anyway cool we sat next to them.

Plenty of food and bevs in the Champions Club for Mom and I. I ate two platefuls and some Mississippi mud pie because I have an eating disorder apparently. Really cool to see Bruiser come in and talk about the game plan before tip.

Couple across from us were loudly/quietly talking about all the free cookies and literally had at least ten they were shoving in their pockets and purses at both halftime and pregame as if they were from the Sudan and would never see food again. People…

Being able to hear Cal berate his subordinates in crystal clear HD was pretty hilarious. Dude doesn’t stop. Some players definitely tune him out during the game. Rob (I refuse to call him dilly) looked the most annoyed although did pay attention, just seemed like he was thinking shut up and let me cook. So much SGA in that dude.

And just hearing the players talking to the coaches/each other/opposing players was pretty cool. I can definitely see how people sitting that close could have a better feel for the team. You see facial expressions given to coaches and teammates that say a lot more than tv does.

Mom was Over-The-Touching-Moon with the whole thing. She’s wilder than me anymore, I’ve calmed down a lot since mid 30s (aka 2014-15 ❤️‍🩹).

She wanted to see the whole halftime show. We stayed for the whole postgame Cal radio time.

She thought he was just talking to us and not on the radio show and we happened to be there. 🤫 don’t tell her, I didn’t have the heart to as she thought we were in some special one-on-one chat with Cal that no one was else was privy to. 😆

Was so funny getting texts all game from close friends who knew I was there all the way to a few college buddies I haven’t talked to in a decade. Kept getting screenshots of my Mom and I with, “Are you in KY?” “Is this you and Mom?” “Damn, Mark, got some good seats tonight buddy.”

Couple of you rascals in the arena sent photos of a my circled pink hat, funny stuff.

Brady, I know you don’t do this for acknowledgment or praise but damn brother that was super cool. You made a 73 year old lady’s world last night as well as mine. The smile she had the whole time and bright eyes, she was like a kid. That was so special to me man, thank you. (Also, sorry I missed your call, I didn’t even see a missed call fro 1:20 til I was in the game).

That is a night my Mom (she’ll never stop taking about it to whomever will listen) and I will always hold dear.

Just her and I, watching our favorite team in the whole world from 10 feet away for a couple hours with not another concern in the universe for a short time.

Sorry to get sentimental (I’m blaming it on my heart), but you all are a really cool, smart collection of people on this random website of 1s & 2s flying through the air that I’m very happy I stumbled into two decades ago while burning time at the LCC computer lab one day. I started reading GYERO and thought to myself, these are my type of sports-loving assholes (especially back then).

If I can ever give back to anyone please ask or tell me!

Thanks for everything GYERO 👏, especially lately. 🥹💙
As an eyewitness I can vouch for all of this but the food. When I saw the pink hat I knew it was Rogue and his mommy. And yes, she was bubbly and on cloud 9 the entire game. Even the wife thought Mama Rogue looked so happy.

Very regrettable Rogue, but the opportunity to meet never presented itself. We left at the under 4 cuz the wife had to be at the hospital at 8am this morning for work. We did both enjoy kinda being a part of your special evening with your mother.
Glad you guys had a great time.
 
I see what you did there. Maybe a little too soon?

This young man, who verbally committed to Oregon in 2015- just got the NCAA to bite on giving him a 9th year.

I'm not really one to criticize anyone seeking higher education- but guys I am beginning to think the NCAA may be a bit "out of it" with the current landscape.

This guy started college around the time we were all doing the "press ONE to confirm enrollment in CS ONE-ZERO-ONE"
 
He’s a modern day Van Wilder. If you could pick a Kentucky player who otherwise couldn’t turn pro to hang around for nine years who would it be?

He's had as many season-ending injuries as most college athletes have seasons. Sounds like he's going the Dangerfield "Back to School" route.

Expected to see Jemarl’s pic when I hit the link.

Meh - national champions like to do this sort of thing. It’s a quirk of the greats.

AD and MKG
 
I only get offended when teams stomp on our logo or step over one of our players after a dunk.

Matt floated the idea that if the Bengals OC gets a new job that Coen and the Bengals HC are good friends, which could be something to watch

-Well about 2” in Georgetown so no early gym, just hoping for any gym today.

-That being that, put on some coffee, popped a gummy and calming classical on the Spotify. Might as well dig into this book for a bit.

-Speaking of reading, buddy of mine sent me a pic where he’d broke out XBox 2014(or 15) College Football.

Man I’m glad I got rid of that thing before I moved.

If I play one game of that you might as well cancel the rest of the day/night until the season is over, I’m done recruiting, my schedule for next year is made and I’ve created some new monster recruits to go after.

-Speaking of monster recruits, Malachi Moreno from Great Crossing was there Wednesday. Mom said she wanted to go introduce herself because, after all, she’s on the Scott County School Board so “he probably knows who I am anyway.” 🤦‍♂️ thankfully she recused herself from that idea.

-Taylor Sheridan apparently got picked or bought the rights to write/direct Empire Of The Summer Moon. That will be fantastic, like the movie Killers Of The Flower Moon, but actually good.

If you haven’t read the book(either of them really) you should great stuff.
