GYERO ARCHIVE

250 a ticket? I saw some yesterday on the backstretch, just up from the finish, for 85.00.

I went to the first race at KY MOTOR SPEEDWAY, a truck race, because a buddy had corporate tickets. It was exciting hit nothing like what I’m sure the cars are like. I’m not into NASCAR all that much but I would love to see Daytona, maybe Talladega, just once if no other reason just the experience.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

I would add Fleetwood Mac showing up everywhere on Spotify.

Dream is to live in a place where I can roll out of bed and walk to bar, breakfast spot and convenience store.

How far has Daytona 500 fallen? ESPN.com only has an article from 3 days ago far down their home page.

NFL draft 2 months away. I don't care about your mock draft. That's just an aggregator of what people think will happen. I want to see where you rank players and how that pans out.

Daniel Jeremiah with the shoutout, I’ll gladly promote Kentucky CB Andru Phillips. Plays with edge & energy. I believe he’ll be a day one starting nickel..... Cornerback U.

 

[krazykats]

Dru Phillips is a consensus 2nd round pick at the moment. I was surprised by that given our secondary issues, but our secondary guys are doing well in the NFL overall.

 

[The_Godfather]

I know I've heard Larry Bird mention being interested in coming to UK, but I don't recall ever seeing him state that he "wanted to go to UK, but UK stopped recruiting me." before.



Good Lord. Imagine the 1978 team with Bird on that roster.

However, he does state that he couldn't stay at IU due to "financial reasons", so maybe he would have left anyway? Although, we were supposedly handing out $100 handshakes liberally at the time, so maybe not.

 

[august-west]

Supposedly he hitched a ride to Lexington once and Joe B told him to go back home, that he would never be good enough to play here. I guess he wasn’t ranked high enough.

 

[Hank Camacho]

If Cal was going after Jeff Goodman in the press conference, as that egomaniac implies ----- then good. Cal should have told him directly that he looks like a peanut with three kernels in his face, imo.

Pretty interesting take, imo.

I have all 3 within 2 blocks of my house.

[FearThe Blue]

Rex is correct there. Ugo did hit the dude’s arm. With his face.

 

[august-west]

I for one do not GAF about what Rex has to say about anything

 

[wildcat1973]

05 raided my CD collection today for his car, which doesn’t have Bluetooth but an old school CD player. Honestly one of my proudest moments as a dad. Seriously got a little dusty for a minute.

 

[WayneDougan]

And the amount of times they go to the monitor is embarrassing.

This is my number one issue with college basketball.

1) Bad calls happen - especially on a ball that goes out of bounds and you can't tell who it is off of. Just play the freaking game. If you want to get really fancy about it, allow each coach to have a challenge that can only be used in the last two minutes of the game and counts as a timeout regardless of whether you win or lose.

2) Goal tends shouldn't be reviewable period.

3) I am fine with going back and reviewing a 3 pointer at the break; they do this right. In the last 4 minutes stop the clock or whatever, but the ref should get 15 seconds max to make a decision.

4) And the worst of all - contact to the head. Dear God... fine, if you have to review those things review it during a dead ball.

How about reviewing a goaltend at the timeout instead of stopping play and penalizing the defense. Happened twice in the past few weeks to UK.

Joe B didn’t think he was athletic enough.

 

[bbonds]

Can we disown that sack of shit?

 

[cole854]

-I wonder where Spotify gets its algorithms. I never requested the Eagles, as they’re the epitome of soy boy rock and are awful, I mean just horrendous. But twice in the last two days they’ve popped up. 🤮.

-Other controversial takes:
Songs Hurt (Cash) and Cover Me Up (Wallen) >>> than the originals.

Big dogs>>>Anything less than #40.

Vegas: Shows>>>Gambling, you can gamble anywhere now basically.

Riding a bike to get somewhere>>>Driving a car.

Criticizing the Eagles and then mentioning Wallen....lol. Clueless.

Every size dog has it's time and place. Another clueless take.

Yes, you can gamble anywhere, but nothing beats a hot casino table in Vegas w/ the drinks flowing and the crowd excited. You're 0 for 3.

I'll take my Q8 and run over your 10 speed Huffy.

Not your best effort today big boy.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Rex Chapman sucks.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Elite troll account. Nobody is spared 🤣

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

There is no bigger attention whore than Rex. Negative attention whore at that.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Rex is just really, really dumb. But he’s never been told that so he doesn’t believe it. That’s the tragedy of it all.

That would assume you don't call the majority of goal tends when they happen and just let them play unless it's absolutely egregious. I don't really like that either.

My take is this: we pay the refs to officiate the game as they see it. Most bad calls imo pertain to fouls (which are not reviewable). I'd rather they just let everything go (no review) and getting f'd by the refs is a part of the process.

I’m with you either let the refs do their jobs or automate everything with sensors like a damn video game and do away with them totally.

 

[btodd0224]

How else would old roofers and other blue collar workers, that can’t figure out social media, get on tv with the attention they want??

Rex is an embarrassment to the state. A post natal abortion is way overdue.

How many pairs of gold painted Nike Dunks has UKO bought to pay for Trumps legal expenses?
Both are dementia patients with tinfoil hats.

60’s for the next couple of weeks means lots of fishing 🎣 now and morels in about 2 weeks.
Huber Giddy!!

Keep getting better on D and I’ll be able to take less Valiums during games.

Masters of the Air doesn’t hit like BoB so far.

Hokie’s took the Wahoo’s soul tonight. Damn!

Just remembered I turn 121 on Saturday….OLD!!
Haven’t had a drink in about 20 years and think I’ll just have one that night. At this point in my life it’s not like that’s gonna be what finally kills me.

 

[roguemocha]

I read an article trying to convince me there was more drama and intensity in MoA than BoB and I laughed. It’s a great watch, I really enjoy it but it doesn’t hold a candle to BoB and that’s fine.

Not everything can be the paragon of war shows/movies. I’d be happy with another Spielberg/Hanks collaboration for WWII.

They’ve done eastern theater, western theater, now the air, Hanks did Grayhound with warships already, maybe a North African tank story?

 

[WayneDougan]

I hate Rex as much as the next guy, but saying that Ugo play was a foul is one of the least dumb things he posts daily. Not saying he’s right. Just that it pales into comparison of his normal crap.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Wait who among us hasn’t disowned Chapman?

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Also- we need to stop using the word “moment” so much. Things were better when you’d go weeks or months without hearing the word “moment”. Used to be a “moment” wasn’t something that was “had”, it just was. Simpler times.

 

[roguemocha]

-Cool that we were Named National Team of the Week.

I’m sure it feels good for the guys. They needed some positivity I think.

Would be amazing to torch the last bit of our schedule and get the excitement really keyed up.

-Had my UK gym gear ready and then realized the game is tomorrow, bummer.

-Stuck at the house this morning waiting to see if I get a zoom court call from West Virginia, fun stuff.

-Suns out though so who’s complaining.

 

[80 Proof]

Couple of other posters here (rudd) likely knew Robby too. Dude was a one of a kind, definitely made Lexington a more interesting place, and even did some really cool stuff on the national scene.

'His gift was music': Lexington rocker remembered after battle with rare cancer

[rudd1]

-knew him well a long time ago, 80. Played a few sets with him over the years. He collaborated/was a session guy with/for my buddy Duane...who's studio was behind my office on National years ago. Solid guy. Kept cancer at bay longer than expected.

Rex stole that take.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

Why is Rex saying stupid sh!t to get attention? Well, he has a new book out, CNN with the coverage:
Rex Chapman: It’s Hard for Me to Live with Me--A Memoir

 

[Hank Camacho]

It's Hard for Me to Live with Me

🤮

I know he didn't write a word of that stupid book but the title is perfect in its cringe-worthiness.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

When Rex is no longer of use, "look how awful the state if Kentucky is", the media will dump him.

 

[Century Cat]

It's Hard for Me to Live with Me

🤮

I know he didn't write a word of that stupid book but the title is perfect in its cringe-worthiness.

Even just one "me" in the title wasn't enough for that attention-seeking low-life.

 

[anthonys735]

-Strokin nailed it. The guy is just a dolt. Ungrateful dolt on top of it.

-IG Reels are close to the breaking point. We've covered about every ironic idiosyncrasy imaginable. Still find a few good ones but we're reaching the point of no return. The "next" thing can't be far off. Probably be related to those VR googles.

-Quarterly reminder, just because you can press the "post reply" button doesn't mean you need to hit it multiple times per day.

-Highs near 70 next week, still light out at 6:30-6:45p. Almost there. I can smell spring it's so close.

-If Cal is gonna get the most out of this team, he's gonna have to unleash Dillingham.

[Rex Kwon Do]

Is everyone ok?

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Well shit. There are offcially no teams left that can win it all.

True championship teams don’t get absolutely ragdolled like this, especially not the consensus best (to which i agree) one. Well, except last year, and the year before.

1-30, there isn’t really any palpable difference outside a few away from home night to night. Different era we’re in

Get hot, get tough, be healthy, get a little lucky, and have a star player/performance to carry.

Dance gonna be wild.
