The "Dating Apps for Seniors" thread went as expected.

JFC...

There’s some depressing shit in there.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Heard MJ say on his ESPN show that if UK was a country, they’d be 9th in total medals.

That’s awesome.

 

[cricket3]

Unsurprisingly that not true. It’s more like 14th in gold and 16 total when you don’t count basketball as 3 separate golds.

 

[GrandePdre]

They're really going to make Jordan Chiles give back her bronze medal? Really?

I'd throw that MFer in the Ohio River Ali-style before I let them hand it over to another gymnast over a 4-second b.s. deadline.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Oh so only 16th in the world?

Nevermind. Bum ass losers!

 

[legalbeagle123]

Unsurprisingly that not true. It’s more like 14th in gold and 16 total when you don’t count basketball as 3 separate golds.

Well, I'm counting basketball as 3 separate golds as the Lord intended.

Debbie Downer much?

 

[cricket3]

It’s extremely impressive that’s why there’s no reason to juice the stats making people question it.

 

[Hank Camacho]

I'm proud of cricket for doubling down on a profoundly stupid take. That's some old school GYERO piss and vinegar.

 

[CastleRubric]

Is there any truth to the old legend that when Coach Rupp coached the US Olympic team - the Soviet team / agents / scouts -- stole his playbook?


I really hope it's true. - and not JUST because i mindlessly repeated said rumor to about 150 ppl over a few years

It just makes sense -

For all I know Coach Rupp probably didn't even HAVE a playbook with him?

Seems like that wouldn't be a thing - ?
Basketball is a lot simpler than football when it comes to formations plays and sets

Cricket looks like a sport that drinking buddies made up with whatever items they could find behind their barns and farms -

And curling still amazes me that ppl -- watch it and "do it" --->> that was DEFINITELY something that ppl who were snowed in and suffering fm cabin fever invented

I have a %#%^!!*% yellow jacket nest in my backyard - I HATE those little guys...and they're a genuine phobia

Would everyone pretty much agree that you pour gasoline down the hole in the ground under a cover pr darkness -- that's progress the best approach right?

Freaking eh, CatsFans - you can call me crazy or cuss my name pr whatever - I DONT CARE - i 100% believe our biggest chance for a football upset this year is :

At Texas, Mo-Fo's!

F-them -- can't BELIEVE they are moving into the conference

Daughter starting her junior year at UK next week - moved her into an apartment down near Rupp - closer to Goodfellas though -- I should probably remember the streets

Yall know about the Good Sam hospital wing with the mental patients - and how they get released and go score "The Drugs" and use their pict (sp?) line as the means of administration?

Lady at work said you can apparently get "any drug you want" --- at or near that Caseys convenience store across fm B Chandler

That Shit cant be real -

Anywho ...My future son in law is here ...I should go and think of fatherly stances to take and wise things to pass along

Weather is starting to tease us isn't it?

hope we're done with the hell-and-a-half temps now anyway

You are exactly zero fun

I was going on the fly on a national radio show. Shit happens. It’s still a fairly amazing accomplishment

But thank you for fact checking me in real time. Everyone loves those people

It’s Almost like what you did to the kid this morning with the word “contributed”. Guess that was different

I don't think the US played the Soviets at the 1948 Olympics so I don't know that Rupp had a playbook stolen . I'm not sure Rupp was considered the head coach either. One of the UK books I read years ago said the team was made up of two teams the Fabulous Five and the AAU barnstorming Phillips 66 Oilers who had beaten UK at the Olympic Trials. The details are a little hazy but I think basically one would play one half and switch to the other team for the other half during the Olympics. In the gold medal game, the Oilers played the first half against France and the US was clinging to like a 19-15 or 20-15 halftime lead. The Cats came in for the second half and beat the living $hit out of France to a final score of 65-21 and the gold medal.

 

[cricket3]

Matt, buddy I don’t listen to your Sunday morning show. I just saw the same tweet last night by Wildcat Penis Tongue or someone like that and thought “that’s sounds off” so I looked up.

 

[legalbeagle123]

The book I read said the University of Kentucky's Fabulous Five won the 1948 Olympic Gold Medal in basketball, and that's the only book worth reading.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

NBC and the Olympic Committee owe Nate Dogg an apology for robbing him of his Olympic moment in the closing ceremony

 

[bradyjames]

Some of you are just incapable of keeping politics out of here. For f**k sake, they are all dirty crumb bums. Both sides of the aisle. Take that shit anywhere but here.

 

[WayneDougan]

You know that Aussie break dancing chick, Raygun? If you only watched her clips you'd think she embarrassed herself and the Olympics. Fact of the matter is, that "sport", at least on the women's side, is a total train wreck. I've seen better dancing at a middle school mixer than the women's gold medal match. So yeah, Raygun was bad. But in the context of the entire sport she wasn't that terrible.

 

[VernHatton52]

[thabigbluenation]

There is a chick with the name Raygun, who break dances. That's awesome.

@bradyjames you money ppl need to bring this act to rupp to do a half time show

Not to nitpick, because I understand your sentiment; but isn't excluding particular topics antithetical to the "R" in GYERO?

Hey Matt - can't remember if I asked you before
Wes Blondell fm Middlesboro was my HS best friends' step father -

Would he have been related to you & yours?

PS - not sure if you've had Ike's wings in M'Boro - they're pretty freaking good

FWIW - have a pleasant Monday air-bodah

 

[CastleRubric]

The book I read said the University of Kentucky's Fabulous Five won the 1948 Olympic Gold Medal in basketball, and that's the only book worth reading.

Would Rupp have ever been an assistant with other Oly-Teams?

Prob not right?
Fm what little I know of him I doubt he would have been anyone's assistant

So - i can squarely check that one off as more legend than not -- OR someone once lied about the whole thing and i just swallowed it like sweet honey nectar

 

[WayneDougan]

I've never been comfortable with how the Olympics does the medal count so here's my proposed way of scoring it going forward. This would also make Jones's take on the radio correct so do with that what you want.

• One medal for individual and two-person events.
  • Nobody really gives a shit about doubles anything outside of the Olympics, so we're not about to award people who win the doubles the equivalent of two medals just because there are two people.
• Two medals for all relay-related events (track, swimming, etc.).
• Three medals for all non-judged team events and gymnastics.
  • Basically all team events except synchronized swimming. That gets a half of medal for being stupid.
