The teams dropping out of bowl games are not having Covid issues, they’re just being little bitches. Change my mind.

Here is the Boston College AD's statement on why they dropped out of the Fenway Bowl: "Unfortunately, due to cases of Covid-19 rising within our program since our arrival, along with season-ending injuries, opt-outs and transfers, we just do not have enough players to field a team," Kraft said. So, yeah, COVID is nothing more than a convenient excuse to get out of a crappy bowl game after getting the bowl practice time.
Per Tskware on HOB, it does not appear that UK is testing vaccinated players unless they show COVID symptoms (SEC! SEC! SEC!). Mark Stoops has absolutely no Chris Mack-level of ***** in him so I would assume we will play with walkons and team managers if we have to. I'm more worried about Big Ten Iowa using the COVID excuse. That said, I think the fact that Stoops is an Iowa alum and has deep ties there would be a factor in Iowa's decision if it is close.
If there aren't any dropouts from the New Years bowls and playoff games, we will know if Wayne is right. (HINT: he, somehow, has managed to finally be absolutely right about something.)
* I'm a sucker for year end news montages. I hope to find one about all the random insanity that happened this year like Armie Hammer getting in the news for a cannibalism fetish, etc.
Joey?
* Coming next week?

-None of these programs (or at least not most) have said who or how many have Covid which to me seems like they’re using it as a cop out. The NFL tells you exactly who and how long they’re out.
-Hoping 2022 is the year my super mature friends and everyone decide to stop sending links that end up with a large black man’s penis on my screen. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even click on many of my friends links because I already know. Not sure why some people think that’s hilarious but hey whatever flips your skirt I guess.
-Off to a fantastic stretch at the gym going into the new year. Only one day off in December (closed for Xmas). Helps when you don’t work for a month though for sure. Hoping to be where I want by my 40th bday in March, please let it be 200 pounds finally.
-This bowl game is messing with my travel plans. I want to head back asap to get this business moving and generating money but I have tickets for the Tubby game(not missing that) on the 31st or 2 days ago for @cawoodsct . Plan on driving back on the first but that means radio only or trying to watch on my phone while driving
.
Could start driving after the bball game but that means I miss the CFP. Serious pickle here gang.
-I really enjoy living/going between dynamically opposite cultures, styles, etc.
Kentucky: casual day-Khakis/Nice Jeans and a polo, loafers.
gym day- same 90s/2000s basketball shorts down to the knees, t shirt
everyone watches their favorite news channel in the evening.
Everyone watches UK sports.
KW: casual day-Board shorts and a UV/No Shirt, flops.
gym day-short shorts or tight leggings, cut off t shirt or 80s bodybuilding tiny strap tanks
No one watches any news.
So many people quit watching sports or never cared.
Just a cool way to see very different places. Pretty sure I don’t fit perfectly into either place, kind of half and half, maybe that’s why I’ve started going between so much lately.

It says Shaedon has a 46 inch vertical leap. LOL
Ummmm, no...
Ummmm, no...
Maybe one day Rouge will realize that going to a Planet Fitness (in Georgetown?) Is the reason for his gym culture difference. My KY gym is much more like his Key West description unfortunately down to the trend of guys wearing the shortest shorts possible, most of the girls are only there to do butt exercises so it all balances out a bit.
Speaking of gyms… The fitness center at our club has been littered with college smoke for the last 2 weeks. Good gracious. Just ridiculous and these dumbass dudes, which we all were TWENTY (we’re old!) years ago, hanging around them don’t know how good they have it.
Props to that old man for perfectly timed insults, and for have the control to not back hand her when she spit on him.
-Looking forward to playing 2 basketball games per week even if it's(checks notes) Wednesday/Friday
. Call me old fashioned.
-What's your preferred lineup when Oscar is in foul trouble? I'd like to see some Toppin/Brooks. Then Ware if size is killing us.
-Still want to see Mintz find his role.
-Pretty remarkable Stoops gets all his guys to play Bowl Games year after year.
-Hope to see some of the young dudes out there getting confidence on Saturday. Especially with Ali out.
-Finally back to normal after the Bill Gates juiced rocked my world.
-BBdk mailed me a Blanch Devereaux Pop! doll. Lol.
-Women and knives and garage doors and towel holders. Google search for "industrial strength drywall" anchors.
-One of the trainers at our gym left, which is great because he trained way too many people in a small space, but bad because most of those people were hot af.
-Off the rails with diet and daily workouts last week. Time to get **** right.
-Apps and cocktails with the boys at OBC yesterday during a surprise Bonz visit. First time there. Hell of a bourbon list. Wings were meh but the rest of the food was good.
-Why get that^ bent over someone wearing an ineffective piece of cloth on their face? Feel like the less people I associate with on an airplane the better. Head down, find seat, head phones on, zone out.
-Air Travel seems to be going great.
-10 days looks more or less the same. Running out of time for an actual winter. I'm sure it'll be crammed into the 3-4 weeks of darkest(late Jan-Early Feb) then linger on into mid April.
-Christmas went awesome with the kiddos. Only 1 trip to Lou. Laid around a bunch watching movies, cooking, and drinking. Nailed the roast but the bread pudding needed another 30 minutes in the oven, IMO.
-So the new Matrix is terrible? I guess that's to be expected but was hoping. Oh well, I'll catch it at some point I guess.
-We really enjoyed Ron's Gone Wrong, although I may have already posted about it.

The only intereaction with someone other than your travel party, should be the awkard, "Sorry, I'm in this row, "skooch" by"

Pittsburgh...is the only city with professional sports teams where all the franchises feature the same color scheme (black and gold)
To be fair to our 20 year old selves, girls today dress a lot more seductively to the gym.
Had a safe healthy Christmas get together with the family.

Wow… you really had us going there for a minute. You’re such a hoot!
Man, having to let a dog go is heartbreaking...
Sorry to hear that. Go with my old man’s move of picking up a new puppy the day after. It was his only way of getting over it.
-most relaxed xmas ever.
-Friday at sister's place. We eliminated adult gifts...kids only. So much better. Food was fine.
-xmas day...slept til 930. Gifts/brunch/nap. SIL took dinner duty Scallop pasta dish for dinner.
-boxing day: passed on a free ticket to Bengals game, pickleball/tennis in the afternoon. Been under the weather/ate like a pig for a few days...struggled but felt great. Only so much lounging can be tolerated. Tamales and carnitas from other SIL to close out the gluttony.
-added trading places and love actually to the holiday movie rotation...great movies. Young Jamie Lee Curtis is an all timer. Forgot about the body double storyline in love actually...very funny.

The weather this week is ********. GD it
Undo your like right now Anth. You can't have it both ways, your position is clear -- you want 100 degrees year round.
So Congrats, and Frig off

Just because you all are screwing up your weather isn't my fault. My months listen to my request, which is to be hot enough to make chad miserable.
I’m perfectly fine with the weather. The only time I like snow is thanksgiving and Christmas - maybe New Years and then cold weather can f*ck off.
When errybody leaving for Orlando? NYE plans? Seat locations?
We are in 105, leaving Thursday.

cawood got there last week and has been saving me a seat.
I’d seriously rather it’d be 25 degrees right now during Christmas time than this nonsense.
I’ve learned to enjoy winter. In fact, I worship a 30 degrees and sunny winter day.

- Off this week. Not checking email. Eff off. Wife in KY. Mr Mom time. Sausage & Peps on Balthazar baguettes this evening.
- Todays Lion King performance was canceled (we had tix). Tomorrow, Broadway reopens, however. Science. Got tix for Wednesday - so my son gets to go to museum
in morning and matinee at 2. Better seats too. LFG. See tree thereafter.
- Go kart is fast AF, boi. Kid shot me a wry smile as he ripped past me. He knows. This thing is awesome.
- Rewatched LSU game. That was the last game we really looked like a legit Top10 team. Crowd was unreal. Georgia stole our soul.
- My HS senior son’s first winter track meetwas cancelled. They run in the NYC armory, but that too supposedly reopens on Thursday. He’s ready. 800 and 4x400 are his events and should post some decent results.
- Old colleague coming over for drinks. He’s a scotch guy. Lagavulin 16 & Compass Box Menagerie on the ready.
- Suck it, Omicron.

The winter sucks. Give me every day above 60 degrees possible.
Yes. Our first game together since St. Patty's Day 2009, the NIT in Memorial Coliseum against UNLV.
Yeah, there’s just nothing like looking at women with 3 sweaters and a big coat that turns me on.
All you ladies with skimpy tops on because it’s warm in December are ruining my commercialized holiday.
Why would I want to go fishing in December without a foot of snow or it being 12 degrees?
To be honest I really like scraping my windshield and having to avoid all the vehicles sliding around and running into each other.
I’m with the fats, gimme the wonderful, cold *** winter.

- Does Hank ever think to himself, “maybe I should just STFU?” Doesn’t seem like it.
- Mintz has his role - Vinnie Johnson. He just needs to play better and hit shots.
- I’m with Anth on Toppin at the 5 with Brooks. Really anything with 3 guards.
- Have said it before but thank God Kelvin Sampson *gasp* illegally texted recruits at Indiana. Dude would have a couple championships there.
- I’m across the country in a house with 6 adults and two toddlers during a pandemic upsurge while it rains every day. I’m getting drunk every night and IDGAF what anyone says. Half a mind to crack one right now.
- Dolphins tonight. Two UK basketball games. Two playoff games. And the Citrus Bowl. Eye on the prize.
- @wildcat1973 how close are you to Pleasant Hill in the East Bay? Went to text you just to ******** but have two numbers in my phone.

I'm not worried about Mintz at all. He'll be fine.
HEY EVERYONE LETS GO OUTSIDE AND RUN AROUND IN THE WINTER MUD WHILE THE WIND HOWLS. TURN THE AC ON IT BLENDS WELL WITH THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
I don't believe in a man hitting a woman but if one deserved it she did.
:-( Ugh... I still haven't gotten over putting Henry down. Sorry for you. It tore my damn heart out.
Wait? Did we know about Henry? I feel like I missed that. Sorry clown. And Kennedy.
