Billy Clyde coaching on B1G network against Michigan.

Cal vs BCG. Who you rooting for when it happens?

 

[FearThe Blue]

Clyde. Recency petty bias.

Cal. BCG tried to burn this place to the ground. Cal got fat and lazy but he never embarrassed us like BCG did.

My senior in high school having a one on one at Gatton tomorrow then joining a small group Honors Program small group tour. 31 ACT 3.9 unweighted GPA and two time Governors Scholar. (GSE and GSP.) I’m prepared for him to get the same treatment I did. “We like you a lot but not nearly as much as this kid from Illinois.”

529 for the win hopefully.

I decided long ago to block off that fact from the way I choose to feel about my (3x) alma mater.

I either ignore it or tell myself that it's just the current group of bureaucrats, not UK itself.

But the way they treat Kentucky kids is about downright insulting - has been that way for quite a while. 🤷‍♂️

OK, back to UK sports now.

Used to have an oil company client in Beaver Dam, went there a lot in the 90s and early 00s.

Also had 2 fraternity brothers from Central City, went there a lot too.

The Twin Cities.

Pretty much my hometown - Central City. Anyway, I've got some great aunts and cousins there. My dad still lives in Graham and my uncle in CC. That said, each year my ties to the area die off. Gonna be weird when I'm the oldest and we realize none of us live there now.

I've been really nostalgic since my grandfather died a few years back and it really hit when my grandmother died this year. Dad's side. Their farm in Muhlenberg was the thread that bound 4 generations together. Now we're contemplating selling it. I nearly took a slight downgrade job in the 'ville to move back to KY just to try to buy that damn thing. I don't know how I'll feel if/when we do sell it.

Anyway....I wish my grandparents had lived to see Pope. I still remember one year getting just blasted with snow and it cutting the power. We huddled in the den by the fireplace with a damn AM battery powered radio and listened to the Cats game. I remember watching '96 with my grandfather in the same den and listening to him talk about '77. I remember my grandmother saying the only two men who could probably get her out on the town besides my grandfather were Bill Clinton and Rick Pitino. Freshman year at UK, I got her tickets to see us play several games as a thank you for all they did for us.

We've had 4 games this year and its the best season I've felt since maybe 2016?

Back to lurking since 2007.

Fire the DJ at this game.

Also, BCG has had an absolutely stunning career freefall. I never realized he and JCP are the same damn age.

Penrod Eades (rip) and Paul Gilles are my fraternity brothers. John Shaver too.

Was that game you listened to in the snowy weather against UF? I remember having to listen to a game against Dan Cross(?) DaMeat Hook and Declerq where I swear it felt like we lost by 1-2 pts before UF became anything.

Could be way off but it rings a bell.
