* COVID thoughts.....
- the CDC continues to spread MISINFORMATION, releasing a study yesterday that shows natural infection alone provides significantly better protection from the virus than vaccination alone. Read it
HERE
- I guess Calipari is committed to wearing his KN95 (which, fyi, the CDC estimates are 60% fake/counterfeit) 100% of the time, so long as it's not during a game, in the locker room, while be interviewed, in public....well, he's basically gonna wear it ALL the time while isolated in his office and just long enough to upload a quick video to Insta.
* Game thoughts...
- my biggest concern, by far, is the way Wheeler was completely shut down by bigger, stronger defenders. We are so #blessed to have a deep bench, but that's given our future opponents a strong game plan
- there's no player I enjoy watch go "hero ball" more than Davion Mintz, and when he plays that way, it's because we desperately need it. there's never been another UK team where the "go to" player in a tough game is the 6th man.
- jones said in the postgame show he's never seen a bigger student section, and that they took up half the arena. so i'll say it again......that crowd was terrible. totally underwhelming, and we never let them be a factor.
- I've always hated buzz Williams for totally ridiculous personal reasons = hair plugs, his stupid dancing, and his insistence on wearing a vest.
* We gonna just let it go unnoticed that the Olympics tip off in 3 weeks, and that the powers that be are not allowing any outside ticketed guests?? Talk about a hometown crowd. Every single venue will be packed to the gills with communists.
* You cannot overstate how weird the gyrations and antics and yells and traditions of those dorks at A&M are. Probably not a bad idea to update your cheers at some point over the past 100 years. The finger pointed up in the air like youre shooting a gun thing is sooooooo f'ing strange.
* My plan today = easy 12 miler. Then a 30ish minute weight sesh. Nothing over 35 pounds, and just rounding out the ole physique. Maybe go knees over toes at some point, too. Hopefully I'll have a chance to insult some other less sculpted exercisers while I'm at it.
