It really pisses me off when ditched O and Rod for this crap. Tanked our recruiting and entire culture so Joel and Tony could have a job.

Dude needs to focus more on finding better players. Why was his wife even on the trip? Is that common? Our lack of business trip attitude, casual style, and overall contentment is really starting to show its face. No one is "hungry".

As Bill Belichick would say, "Do Your Job."

Lol

Questions for the Juzang guys- where/how do you play him? With what lineup?

I understand the why and of course he’s a much better shooter than he’s shown (I hope), but he’s pitiful on D and a terrible ballhandler and passer too. Can’t really play him with Sestina. So- what’s the call here?

PTI is spot on with his criticism about getting kids to re-classify. It almost guarantees that the kid underperforms at UK and probably can't compete over a full season against seasoned collegiate veterans, even if the veterans are far less talented.

See, for instance, Skal Labissiere.

It also feeds the narrative that players do better in the NBA than at UK, which causes fan resentment.

I hope Joe Burrow, being from Ohio and all, is okay with playing for the Bengals. Because if I were his agent I’d tell him to pull an Eli. However, with the Brown family, they may try to just ruin his career instead of letting him go elsewhere.

Had a friend lose her house today in a fire. For any of you runner folks, she and her husband organize races in the Louisville area, so some of you know them. Someone started a GoFundMe page, and it passes another $1000 increment every time I click on it. Almost $18k so far, and it’s only been up a few hours.


Truly great people, and a rather heartwarming reminder in this holiday season.

Cool that people are donating, but did they not have insurance? Pretty awesome if they did and they just pocket the 18K in donations.

I mean the smart thing would be for the Bengals to draft Chase Young 1st, wait or trade up to get Tua later and let him sit for a year but that won’t happen.


And reclassifying is sketchy and sucks as hell.

*Late, but last weekend the wife and I went to a street party hosted by two dudes a couple of houses down. Pretty cool, actually. Got to meet a bunch of neighbors and found out pretty close connections with 2 of them.

Afterwards. wife said she was "proud" of me. 10 years ago that would have been a hard pass. Now, the more relaxed and libertarian Bernie went and had a great time.

*Made my 1st Old Fashion during halftime of the UK game. Pretty damn tasty. Overdid the sugar a bit, but not enough to ruin it.

*Nosey son figured out the Amazon password and knows basically everything he's getting. **** head. At least he feels bad about it.

*Off until Thursday with no plans other then Christmas. Perfect.

- Headed to Charlottesville this morning to check out Monticello, the UVa campus and downtown. Nice little day trip. Have always wanted to visit the home of John Crotty.

- Any Vegas stories?

- Since no one answered my Juzang question- I go:

Hagans
Maxey
Richards
Brooks
Quickly

Rotate Sestina with Brooks.
Rotate Montgomery with Richards.
Give Juzang some run when Brooks is at the 4.

And try like hell to get Allen back.

Not great and our rebounding will suck but that’s my lineup.

I mean, I only got one Snapchat in a limo, kinda disappointing.

Saw Rise of Skywalker, enjoyed it.

Really getting into the Witcher on Netflix. :fire:

Would like some snow on Christmas Day, then it can get pumped the rest of the year.

-Losing to OSU is fine. Fine. Whatever. But dropping games to Evansville and Utah is ridiculous. The 2013 team didn't even lose games like that. Not being a *****, just realistic. When you swing and miss on 6 front court recruits... you get this. Hopefully it leads to a similar run like we had after 13 because I just don't see much hope from this team. Short of Maxey becoming a superstar and 1 other player really making the leap... we're in for a long season.

-I'll just ignore the team for a bit. Next couple weeks should be fairly easy to accomplish.

-I just worship Las Vegas. I'm also really good at riding the wave at this point. 12a cutoff... unless it's going to be an epic night. Worked out every morning. Lunch, then roam, and play for the next 10-12 hours. :raised_hands: Feel great today.

-Top Golf is really cool, but the scoring was all over the place and often wrong. I was also with a big group that had no interest in actually trying much less gamboling on it. We had a blast but would love to give it another run with some gambols.

-Appreciate my buddy Adrian helping me out at the Blackjack table. Know the rules but never took the time to understand how to "play" correctly. Always helps when you have a great dealer. Got the bug a bit so been working on strategies and such. Be nice to have another alternative to craps while out there.

-The BBNVegas crowd is great. Very similar to the SEC Tourney crowd. That arena is badass other than $17... seventeen dollar... draft beers. It's so outrageous it's almost funny.

-65/45 on Xmas? Boo. 1 day per year I want to be really cold and snowing. Instead maybe I can sneak in a nice lil ride, some crispy boys, and fire up the grill as we were already playing tacos for feliz navidad. Hopefully get those temps to stick around for the bowl game.

* 10 year old wanted a UK football jersey for Christmas. Wife was onboard... til she saw the checkerboard on the sleeves. "Why do they do that? That looks janky."


* Curious to see what the line for the UK/UofL game will be. Somehow, I think we'll be favored by a point or two.


* Ryan Fitzpatrick became the first Dolphins QB to throw for 400 yards and 4 TD's since Dan Marino. Who Dey.


* Helluva year for CBB to be so down this season. 2017 UK would've been far and away the best team in the country this year. 2019 UK would've been right up there as well. Both would've been 1 seeds.


* Always take three work days off for Christmas and New Year's. When it's on a Wednesday, it's Tues/Wed/Thurs, which means no more consecutive work days til 2020.



-I'll just ignore the team for a bit. Next couple weeks should be fairly easy to accomplish.

Don't know how that's possible with the Louisville game coming up. Lose that one, then yeah, checking out for a few weeks should be a piece of cake. Sucks that I can't listen to any CBB podcasts, though.
