Joe Morgan and Jon Miller on Sunday Night crushed anything ESPN has done since!

No mention of any of the 90 Reds that SWEPT the A’s?!? Barry Larkin even? Ouch!

You’re right, Jon Miller was pretty good.

GD. Didn't think the Reds could make me feel things anymore. Damn.

Apparently we lead for Jasper currently and him pushing his decision date back a week was to give us time to come up with some commercial opportunities for him which we have.

I think this was a done deal since I posted this and now the media is finally coming around. Sisk just said it’s a done deal, Torres said he’s up to 80/85% UK, Trilly 60%.

- Few things worse than a bad old fashioned. Had one tonight- tend to follow the same script- cheap cherries and too much fruit and muddling.

- In French Lick. It’s fine. No interest in ever coming back but it’s doing what we needed - only a few hour drive and our girls are having fun. Oldest road a pony, swam a lot, found a love for arcade games, has eaten ice cream, french toast and hot dogs. The simple things and whatnot.

- Always wonder what these okd Midwestern rust belt towns must have been like in their 50s/60s heyday. I mean these are some impressive hotels for a town like this.

- Because we have a 6-month old, night is over around 8. So just me up sipping bourbon and surfing cable- which I haven’t done for years. Sucks … until you come across Field of Dreams. It got me again. Think I’ve gotten teary eyed every single time I’ve watched that movie.

Seeing this Pic still upsets me reminding me how feldaus and pelfrey backed down and let laetner shoot his wad unopposed.

The best old fashioned I ever had was at the Evan Williams bar upstairs in Louisville, it had a topper of stout beer and chocolate liquor.

Rick dared them not to foul and didn’t have a guy guarding the unbounded.

And didn’t call for one in front and one behind like any typical normal double of any superstar.

I can remember sitting in the MTSU old ass librar. Hitting refresh to see if DJ picked UK over Notre Dame. Now his son is about to do the same thing. Crazy how fast life flies by.

Oh I blame Rick. I want to kick him in the balls then grab and hug him, thank him for mark pope, and say welcome back.

'92 Duke
'97 Arizona
'15 Wisconsin

Are all going to 4ever sting a little harder than the others.

Hypothetically, the unforgettable beat one of the greatest teams ever

'97 would have resulted in a 3 pt

2015 would have lived in the history books

Hypothetically

 

[krazykats]

92 was before our time, and we still needed to beat IU and Michigan.

97 I mean F!!!!

2015 Cal is a idiot.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Smart fan knew walking out of Lucas Oil Stadium in 2015 that the end had arrived. Unfortunately took the people in charge who should know these things 9 more years to finally realize what the smart fan knows.

Pope definitely closer to the Smart Fan Lexicon then the other side. The Commonwealth's Team is in good hands.

Manhattan>>>>>>>>>>Old Fashioned

My grandmother had a Manhattan at 5:30 PM every night of her life as long as I knew her. You could set your watch to it.

 

[WayneDougan]

97 didn’t sting as bad as the other games because:

• We won the year before
• DA was injured
• Mercer was running out of gas
• Most importantly, we felt Pitino was never going to leave and we knew we were going to be good forever.

All that said, a high school aged Wayne Dougan got in big trouble for winging the remote against the wall during the game.

Being the last of five children, I never met either of grandmothers.

One of life’s gentle gifts I didn’t receive.

Ditch the cheap ass Martini & Rossi (too sweet, not enough spice) and splurge on Carpano Antica.

All the difference in the world, as one is drinkable and the other is pure shit.

I really enjoy walking from KY over the bridge into Cincy. For the Reds game and last night though the walking bridge wasn't open i wonder what's up? Ill assume construction of some type.

Walking by those bars down there seems like an awesome spot if u live in the area in KY or Cincy to go and have an app and drinks with a great view of river and city.

Votto got a shout out last night:

 

[ukwizard]

What pisses me off about 97 was that Zona didn't make a single basket in OT. They just shot free throws to win the game.

Padgett was guarding Bibby out top on the second to last play of regulation because Turner had fouled out. Just a blow by leading to a basket to put Zona up 3.

Epps then hits one of the most clutch 3's in UK history to send it to OT.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

JDrum, you got a look at the Memorial Coliseum renovations yet?

97 game pisses me off…. Nazr free throws and FT diff. You’ll never convince me we weren’t the best team, even without DA.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Joey Votto could have gotten called up this year, gone 0-477 and still had a higher career on base percentage than Tony Gwynn.

Best Reds hitter of all time. I’ll take Frank Robinson as an exception, but beyond that you’re gonna have to bring some facts.

 

[AIChatGPT]

1997 was a fixed game to get Lute a title.

Arizona was 34/41 and UK was 9/17 from the line.

Speak for yourself.

97 stung because Bibby and Simon played out of their minds, and Mercer, Turner, Padgett and Prickett all fouled out meanwhile it felt like Arizona got to play without fear of the whistle. Maybe that wasn’t the case but as a 17 year old I sure remember feeling our whole team was on egg shells while they scrapped and hacked all game without hesitation.

Also barring any comps to the UCLA run you can’t convince me Turner didn’t have one of the best college career runs ever!

(stolen from twitter)

Tony Gwynn had 3141 hits w/ a career .338 avg. He also had only 6 less career RBI's than Votto....1138 to 1144. Why?.....because he hit the ball instead of looking for walks. Yes, Votto was a good hitter, but please don't even try to rationalize a comparison with Gwynn by using OBP. Votto could have had MUCH better hitting stats with a different approach.

Votto never won a silver slugger award.
Gwynn won it 7 times.

Votto struck out 120 or more times in 7 seasons.
Gwynn never struck out more than 40 times.

Just stop here before you get into a really deep hole.

I didn't say it didn't sting. I said it wasn't as bad (for me) as the other two (92 and 15).

It was just painting a very simple illusion by using an extremely surprising statistic. Surely to god you were smart enough to figure this out?

Or not.

84 Georgetown is one of my biggest kick in the nuts. 3/33 from the field the second half. held Georgetown to 53 points and LOST. We didn't need to hit 40-50% from the field, just not 10%. On top of the woeful shooting, second half Dicky Beal shit the bed. Georgetown came out and pressed to start the 2nd half, Beal had 6 (SIX) turnovers.

Lots of positives on the Jasper Johnson front. Land him, already have Moreno, get Yessoufou, Ament, and a true PG like Mikel Brown and 2025 will look very good.
PG - Brown #15 (ON3)
SG - Johnson #22 (ON3)
SF - Yessoufou #11 ON3
PF - Ament (#3 ON3)* I think is a bit high for him, but whatever.
C - Moreno (#21 ON3)
Maybe Mullins #35 if we miss on one of those. All very realistic. The Boozer / Peterson / Dybantsa trio is not realistic. IMO.

BIG high school football double header Saturday at WKU.

#1 Boyle Co. V/S #20 Lexington Christian Academy
#3 Frederick Douglas V/S #4 Bowling Green (your defending state 5A and dominate 5A school)

Doesn't get any bigger than that for a double header.

- Had an open house on Wednesday night and two private showings last night. As we strategically only want Open Houses because of the struggle to and from for 30 minute showings and keeping the place “show ready” it sounds like the play this weekend is renting a damn hotel.

- The trap UK and Pope fall into with these FR recruits is if it blocks portal upperclassmen from interest then we know our fate depending on FR. Moreno sounded like a good kid and plans to be here multiple years, Jasper not so much.

That said I have 100% faith in Pope and think he goes down as a KY legend 20 years from now.

- Marrow as a NIL manager sounds like a home run forward thinking play by Jones. Not sure he’d want to stay if Stoops left, but he’d be worth his asking price to do so IMHO.

- Was offered very privately the first chance to buy a winery in 2 years when the current owner is ready to give it up. I mean, thanks and I’m honored, but………F it why not. I don’t have enough issues as it is.


- tickets to Austin aren’t bad at all. Not sure the next time we’d play @Texas either and I don’t make many roadies. Showing any constraint is such a challenge.

- Why would anyone need to show facts as to Pete Rose being the best hitter in Reds history?

- BVG please be “him” as the kids say. The rest will take care of its self.

- Getting Down Home website back up as we are finally inching closer to being ready for business.

took my son to the Smashing Pumpkins/Green Day show last night, both bands were much better than I was expecting

Pumpkins- last time I saw Billy Corgan live he was doing a solo show wearing a cape and he was terrible. He was much better last night with 3/4 of the original band and actually seemed to enjoy playing music. The shout out to Joey Votto before Cherub Rock was a nice touch.

Green Day- last time I saw them they were a little pop/punk band playing mid level shows and I guess they’re full on arena rock now. Didn’t realize how much I missed shows with full on pyro and inflatable props.

F*** it! I'll just buy a winery. Why not?

Might be the greatest humblebrag in GYERO history. That's like truck nuts on a Ridgeline, imo.

* My wife, who is in her mid 40s, just had her first bite of a Big Mac. She has some weird hang up about burgers with double patties so she had never tried one before. I knew I married a lunatic but that one set me back a bit.

Her comment was "So the only difference between this and a regular burger is they replaced mustard with Big Mac sauce?" I guess, honey.

* Did RFK really think he was going to be elected president when he talks like that? Listening to homeboy is rough.

If Trump appoints him as the head of the CIA, that would be hilarious.

* Can someone in Blue and White tackle someone and/or hit a jump shot for my viewing entertainment? This has been a fantastic summer but I'm ready for some War Damn Wildcats.

I haven't been this excited for a basketball season since 2014.

Biggest mistake in business is promoting a big producer to a job they don't have the skills to succeed. Thus, hurting productivity and management.

Vince is a great recruiter, he needs to keep doing that.

And f'ing extra bread, toots. Completely changes the taste profile.
