Best idea I heard with the stimulus is model it after Brewster’s Millions. Everyone gets a card with your Trumpbucks on it and you have to spend it by day 8/1. No saving, no investing- pump that into the local economy with benders and impulse purchases.


If you have any balance on it I dunno you go to jail.

You can't purchase a rare stamp and use it on an envelope?

We would’ve just finished beating someone’s *** in the Sweet 16 tonight. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

This is Kentucky. We’d be the late game and at the 16:00 mark.

We would also probably be trailing 10-4 after BAH scored on the wrong bucket.

My money is on Juzang being the most improved player on the team. If Calipari quits hating 3 pointers, I can see that dude being deadly. Thoughts and prayers that he’s back next season.

It would be good to see Johnny be able to take advantage of the new transfer rules and suit up next season for a team that's already a top title contender.

We are in the business of making big dreams come true. If that means UK is a stepping stone to other programs, then so be it.

We are a Players-First Program.

- Been bored as ****, been home for three weeks. The Zoom was fun. Got hammered, saw some friends from all over the country. Raised some money for friends out of work.

- Out of quarantine now, but was positive for Covid-19 a couple weeks ago. Never got any symptoms. Didn't want to jinx it by saying anything. Out of home confinement for a shelter-in-place that started yesterday.

- #Blessed still getting paid, and will continue to be, even though every campaign in the country is on pause until mid-summer at the earliest.

- Juzang transferring to a West Coast team was an easy bet...but f***. Have a Darius Miller, glue guy, sneaky NBA career vibe. Who saw Darius playing almost 10 years in the NBA and Terrence Jones playing 3?

- Tiger King was awesome. Love is Blind, even better.

- Rewatching The Wire now for the 4th time. GOAT, used to put Sopranos and Breaking Bad ahead for dramas...but The Wire is better everytime you watch it.

- Curb (probably GOAT comedy) had a solid season. Better than last season. Still not on par with seasons 4-8...but good additions. Was really hoping for a Larry eulogy to Marty...but guess that'd be too far. Vince Vaughn did a good job filling in...but EVERY Marty Funkhouser scene stole the episode.

-I enjoyed Tiger King, first 3 episode are wild. After that it's just weird and dark. Kind of like Shittown in that regard.

-Yesterday was just what I needed. Absolutely gorgeous outside. Nice lil ride. The parks were PACKED.

-I'm bummed about Juzang but it makes sense. 400+ transfers in the portal already and he's looking at playing behind Quickley, Boston, and Clarke and battling it out with Fletcher/Allen. Hopefully Allen with 4 years left is the guy that can be Miller/Hawkins. "Way too Early Odds on Cam Fletcher Transferring after next year?"

-Watched, A Simple Favor last night with Anna Kendrick and Blake Livley. Solid B+, they kiss so that helps. Sucker for a terrible Rom Com Mystery.

-Today's webinar appears to be at 2p, not 10a. Which is fantastic. Nothing better than a 2p Friday online meeting. I should be fully attentive.

-Today should be the Off Day in Indy. Wake up, workout, mimosa at Patachou, meet the Beans at whatever chain sports bar they're at before walking around day drinking and planning Atlanta travel and hotels. :(

* Losing any upperclassman is a problem, particularly one with so much room to grow. Two things are really frustrating about Juzang leaving....

- our head coach doesn't appear to know how to use a potentially fantastic role player
- our fans seem to think we don't have room for a potentially fantastic role player

GFTO here with this "but we've got X and Y and Z in that position taking his minutes." If he sticks around and turns into a lights out shooter, we've ALWAYS got room for him in the lineup. Oh well.

* Where are they now?

* Tiger King was pretty amazing, but the drama and trashiness wore me out. I'm not sure it was quite as binge worthy or epic as many made it out to be. Some random thoughts...

- these dudes being balls deep in hot young *** is unreal (Doc and Tim)
- hey you cool cats and kittens.....[sick] (she deserved to have her head in a jar based solely on that)
- that whole brood of gay rednecks in oklahoma scares the hell out of me
- i know what i'm dressing up as for halloween. thanks for the inspiration, joe exotic.

* Reading that article above:

Germany, Chile, Qatar, Greece, Brazil, Thailand, Australia, Uruguay......I'd rather live and work in almost any of those places than slum it around in the Gatorade League.

* Boris Johnson tests positive for coronavirus.

* Turns out my next door neighbor is a talented saxophone player (in addition to being a pilot for United). Every night around sundown or so he's been playing for about an hour on his front porch. So we have a little dinner, some vino, and get a small concert while watching the sun go down. I could totally get used to this.

* Not really sure why, but I've got Tina Turner's Private Dancer stuck in my head.

* Wrapping up work around noon. Go for a little jog. Then take the bikes to our favorite local brewery, pick up some to go growlers, and go lay out in the park to get some sun. Gonna be a race between COVID and skin cancer to see which gets me first.

* I'm no grammar ball, but isn't this bad grammar...

"I'm going to try and go for a run later."

Right? Drives me crazy. Shouldn't it be...

"I'm going to try to go for a run later." ?

* I'm not wishing disease on anyone, but if you're a corona truther/science denier and you catch the virus, I'm okay with that. Assuming you survive, I'm 100% okay with that. Making a list of these people right now, actually.

Shorts:

- I prefer Thursday/Saturday over Friday/Sunday. Not even close really.

- Despite what the media would have you believe, “Crazy” is KC & JoJo’s best work.

- Can’t even imagine how much this social blackout would suck as a 16-21 year old.

- wcc’s ALL-TIME UK Smooooth Team:

Mercer
Prince
Mashburn
Miller
Monk

- You gotta admit - the Tiger King has a nice voice.

- Our wing rotation is looking stacked with Juzang or without.

- Ideally, schollies 11-12 go to Kentucky kids who will pass up PT to wear the blue and white. Tad difficult to sell I suppose but they’re out there.

- Affleck’s new basketball movie is now available digitally - think I’ll watch it this evening.

Our wing is looking stacked this offseason, indeed. In fact, every offseason we look stacked at the wing, the frontcourt, the backcourt, ballhandling, rebounding, shooting, coaching, scouting, strength and conditioning, defensively, bench depth.....
