He got knocked to the floor on a rebound right before limping off, think that was it.

Not to make excuses for Oscar but…last night the refs completely swallowed their whistle against him and our guards did a poor job of finding him when he had position. UT we didn’t need his offense and there weren’t many rebounds.

This is such a rhythm team on offense, when it’s humming it’s beautiful and when it’s not it seems like nothing works (which is why it was such a big deal to win last night). Sharpe is intriguing as a “nothing is working use your crazy talent to get a bucket” guy. I know PTI wouldn’t play him for another 2 years but it can’t be worse than iso for Brooks.

There is no more meaningless stat than the +/-.

That's the kind of win that great teams manage to grit out and good teams don't. I like my team. I also hope this squad shows Cal how important it is to have veteran guards, even if the star is a freshman. We don't win that game without Mintz.

The five game stretch of UT, TAMU. Allbarn, MSU, and KU will define our season. So far we are 2-0. :fire:
We’ll likely go 3-2 in this stretch, and in no way will that define our season. Geez, is this your first year following UK basketball?

-TAMU is basically the SEC equivalent of a weird Foreign Exchange Student. They dance weird, heavy homoerotic vibe, odd clothes, say **** that doesn't make sense, laugh inexplicably, seem to be overly nice. No thanks, Stefan.

-Oscar had 2 bad games in a row? He had 8pts 14 rebounds and hit all his FTs last night while be attacked by hyenas AND absolutely no help from his guards or help side rebounding. UT he wasn't really needed and still put up 9/12 while forcing floppy honk to the bench. He was the least of my concerns last 2 games. He'll be there doing the dirty work when we need him

-My eyes don't understand a + for Brooks. He was atrocious. Must have been luck.

-Grady tweaked his knee. Came back in, still limped, went back out so should be ready for the SECT(maybe).

-Toppin and Mintz off the bench is just such a damn luxury. There's just no drop off with those 2.

-Brooks/Toppin vs smith is going to be a battle. Wear that young dude out.

-Didn't mean to suggest 6 year old was a bad kid, actually he's great, he hates getting in trouble, does really well at school and sports. He's just a tornado and accidentally breaking **** while leaving a path of dirty clothes, wrappers, toys, cups, etc in his path.

-Buzz isn't Crean level weird over there but he's an odd duck. Looked like he was going to stroke out a few times.

-8:30p game means I'm still awake at 11:45p playing on the internet and rolling around at 12:30a. 🤬 Bleh.

-Never been a big vest guy but damn if they don't help keep you warm. Maybe the look will grow on me.

-Last week of enjoying the winter weather. Starting to get annoying... and cold.

-I bitched about the cost...but driving on a new set of balanced/aligned tires is a *really* satisfying experience.

-I run hot so a sweater/heavy flannel and a gilet(vest) is usually perfect...unless I'm gonna be outside for hours.

-I *love* this team and that game last night. Growth/bettering oneself only comes from pain/discomfort...Cals got a teaching tool and the kids/fans get a win. Perfect.

-snow is pretty, and I like cold weather...but it's hard to get work done when people can't get to work.

So basically, it is like having BBdK spend the night, every night.

(Without the fantasies about your wife playing 1-on-1 with Patric Young of course)

* Tough, gritty win on the road in front of a bunch of rabid weirdos. I'll take it.

* Gonna be a tough one down on the Plains. We're gonna have to fight and make shots in this one. I'm already pissed at the refs, the floppy bangs and Bruce Pearl's stupid sweaty face.

* Gonna be tough on the road for the Who Deys, too. Stop the run, don't turn it over and profit.

* Watching the Bengals game at Keystone. My nephew is having his 40th bday party there. Should be off the proverbial trellis.

* There's zero chance Mack makes up that game with us, is there? That's ********. Cardinal tears are good for the soul.

* Thursday Three: Cult of Personality - Living Colour, Lucille - Little Richard, Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns & Roses.

* Worked until 8 last night and may pull an all nighter tonight. Busy season even though nobody has any cars to sell.

* Looking forward to Tampa for the SECT. That is coming up quick.

* A little girl on my basketball team made me a UK bracelet/key chain thingee and I hung it on a cabinet behind my bar and clipped a bottle opener to it. I took it down before the LSU game. Needless to say, I immediately put it back and it will stay there... at least until we bring home #9.

* All that steak talk earlier this week has me craving a big ol' hunk of meat. (no homo)

Might have to smoke/reverse sear a ribeye on Sunday.

* Touch it. That's all I got. Have a good one.

Now that they're not quarantining entire teams of asymptomatic fully vaccinated young adults, the cancellations have dropped off considerably. Regardless, he wants no part of this. Be nice if they could weasel in the tourney and we get them in the first or 2nd round.

-Willy, when will there be cars to sell? My auto revenue line is basically at $0 and has been since June 2020.

-G woke up at 330a to see if school was out. I told him to go back to bed. He woke up again at 530a to watch the game since we wouldn’t let him stay up and watch last night with it being late. Gonna be a long day for him. 😴

- Happy birthday, SAE!

- I take my freshmen tiers seriously.

- Ran into my one of my dad’s buddies at the auto shop this morning. He apparently had just decked a guy on the side of 471 in a road rage incident. He’s 65-70 years old and his knees are so bad he hobbles around like a penguin with a bad wheel. Bellevue guys, man.

- Two straight mediocre games for Tschibwe. Gotta think he’ll play big Saturday.

- I’m sure Cal is all boned up. He loves winning that kind of game.

- Anyone notice Grady’s injury? What he do?


missed the Grady injury - wonder if it contributed to the poor shooting?

i fully expect Auburn refs to Make Their Presence Known in this one .....

i predict two UK players w/2 fouls each within 6-8 minutes

I expect at least one technical to be assessed against our guy - or possibly “the bench”

and i expect UK to take their crooked cheating - assed sleazy team to pound town

Kentucky 73
Auburn 61

To make that a little weirder…

Adjacent to the stadium, they have a border collie mascot graveyard that’s purposely located to allow line of sight to a video board so the ghost mascot dogs can “watch the Aggies score.”


oh hell no

you know as well as i do there’s more buried in that creepy assed roadside “Eddie Gein memorial” _ center than just some wayward dogs

cartel ****

or it’s a freaking demonic pet cemetery that creepy old assed politicians would secretly visit


Can we ask for another team and let TAMU go ?
I really just don’t see the SEC vibe

more like militant mormon militias who should have BYU and Baylor as primary rivals

and poor missouri is just as lost as last years easter eggs

Anyone see any of that Auburn game last night? Place was on fire for a blowout win vs Georgia...it's seriously going to be All Time Road Rowdy on Saturday. Shew

Can. Not. WAIT!
Gotta give props to a University that puts rowdy students along an entire sideline in a gym that seats 9k. But hey, at least we have the catchy eRUPPtion Zone..... 🙄

(Do they even still call it that?)

HAHAH HOLY SHAT, MAN

They ARE like a socially awkward, foreign exchange student who’s trying ENTIRELY TOO HARD to lose their balkan-village-bred virginity

A damn exchange student that keeps insisting that he’s “REALLY GOOD AT SPORTS AND GIRLS BACK HOME......in Wyrdersthan

I seriously hope something unforeseen happens that forces those weirdos and the Missou Compromiser Crew back where they came from


NO offense of course

And Texas and their idiot neighbors with the stage coach they ride around in — SOMEONE SERIOUSLY needs to meet them at the Arkansas state line and just tell them to go BACK to the Places they came from

i’m already embarrassed at having Texas and Oklahoma prance around in Ten Gallon hats talking about their STEERS and OIL and COCAINE WIVES

Had a ticket offered to me for the weekend to go sit with 3 Auburn fans and I actually wouldve gone but we are on BABY WATCH so I cant get caught a couple hours from home just in case its go time.

The thought of being there surrounded by lunatics in the event that UK wins is pretty tempting. The best walk in sports is leaving out after a nice road win.

Still remember the ‘96 Cats rolling into an absolutely insane environment in Starkville and calmly kicking the living **** out of the Bulldogs. They didn’t even F around- were up like 12 at the first TV timeout. Those reds got silent quick.
My favorite memory of that team was being down in Gainesville with my Dad visiting my nephew at UF and going to the UK-Florida game at the O'Connell. Sat way up on the side, typical super hostile crowd, and we curb-stomped them by 31. UMass lost that day for the first time all year, too, so we were going to ascend to #1 in the polls. Only UK game I ever watched with my dad in person.

-Moved to the new house the last couple days, never fun but celebrated by eating some mushies and laughing all day while jumping in the canal. Back to reality today.

-Got the sauna and cold tub setup and stoked about that. Hopped in the sauna first thing this morning and will be in the cold tub this afternoon after this workout.

-“Do you mind if I work in with you?” Yes, yes I do. There’s 100 machines and infinity exercises you can do, wait 5 minutes and I’ll be done.

-Boat is finally getting fixed, steering is done now just have to get the new stringers up in Tampa and drive them back.

-Didn’t see any of the game last night still waiting on Wi-Fi I hitch should be good to go today or tomorrow.

“What do you do for exercise?”
“I lift weights.”
“What do you do for cardio?”
“I lift weights faster.”

I just hate cardio, nothing less fun to me. Basketball, pickle ball or bike rides are good enough and you don’t think how miserable you are the whole time.

There's an exception to this. And that's if you are in a gym where you want to use the power rack and some yokel power lifter is doing 10 sets of one deadlifts outside of the power rack with a 15 minute break between sets. I have no problem just telling said power lifter that I'm working in.
