I love winning a meaningful basketball game. Damn it seems like a while ago since we were beating the brakes off UNC/Kansas last year.

If you changed kids to women that post would be weirder than it already is…
They’ll come around. Kids are resilient.
I didn’t say he didn’t act well… I just questioned that a dude who’s 65 has a 8 and a 5 year old kid in the 1950s. Please pay attention.

I don't get this sentiment. First, this is Kentucky football. I'm old enough to recall a time when *ANY* bowl game was reason for celebration.
As for this particular game -- I just look at it as a spring game against a live opponent. The stakes could not possibly be lower. If we lose, who cares? If we come out and run a bunch of crazy trick plays that don't work, who cares? If our QBs look terrible, who cares?
Injuries to our young corp are about the only bad thing that could happen. Between that and the UL game, that's a solid way to spend the last day of the year on the couch with one game on the TV and the other on a laptop and veg out.
* Landed a solid Christmas haul. My wife and I agreed to forego presents to put that money on finishing off the mortgage.
* I'm a big fan of "substitute" holidays for the first Monday after Christmas/New Years when the holidays fall on a weekend (especially a Sunday) if your business can swing it. It is BS to not take at least a day off work for Christmas.
I don't like the encroachment into personal time that technological innovation has caused. Even three or four years ago, there would be multiple people on GYERO bragging the first week of December about hitting sales goals and taking the rest of the month off. Now I don't know anyone who gets the week between Christmas and New Years off unless they take a vacation.

-That’s correct. I’m 40 and I remember when my folks or their friends turned 40 and they threw over the hill parties and those people even then looked WAY older than most my friends or I do now. When was the last time any of you went to an over the hill party, lol?
- @Hank Camacho i think you answered your own question by saying, “Who cares?” 3x regarding the bowl game…
-Been watching some FNL again and Lyla Garrity is straight fire but give me Julie Taylor all day.
How come all the poors on that show drive the exact old hard body trucks that I would love to buy besides anything in decent condition has 200K+ miles but still costs $40K?
Give me Riggins’ Black Chevy all day please.
-“Christmas Hauls”? So far I’ve gotten $100 from
Gma and a Toboggan with a built in light for night time dog walks (pretty dope, actually), we don’t do adult presents anymore. Did get my folks a new Tupperware set though
and of course the nieces/nephews.-7a and a solid two hour leg day is complete. Now to train 3 bros and then do the final walkthrough for my house at 1:30 then probably straight home to do nada.
In other words...punt on first down or just hand the ball to an Iowa player and let them score untouched (no sense in risking injury) Or maybe Stoops can get obliterated at Tootsie's and run the show via text to the equipment mgr.
Heaven forbid this game is actually played with a sense of purpose for those that decided to suit up instead of giving the finger to their teammates.
UKO, as a fellow huge Kentucky football fan, you gotta be as excited as I am about bringing back Coen and the additions in the transfer portal, right?
The future is bright, my friend.

We’re definitely gonna come out and run a bunch of crazy trick plays, though. For sure.
While this may be true (and depend heavily on specific industries), I think it has been a huge positive that more and more businesses are turning away from actually being open on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was absurd. Even in high school, I worked at the Cinema 4 in Middlesboro and had to go to work at noon on Christmas so 2 people could watch “Legends of the Fall” or some other nonsense. Good riddance.
I got 2 season football tickets and a $100 gift card to Top Golf and a few other things so it was a great Christmas.
I hear you. I considered going out to get food on Xmas because we’d been snow/iced in since Friday and I was going stir crazy, but I refuse to give the places money that make their employees work on Xmas because it just reinforces the idea they should be open. Gas stations are about all that HAVE to be open.

We do have the nations longest non-conference winning streak on the line. That’s enough to keep me in fan mode.

When I turned 40, my wife and kids got me a cake with a tombstone and ‘over the hill’ on it. I’m still traumatized by that…
One of the offices I work for had a location come in this morning to a flooded offices from a waterline breaking. Looks like they will be down for a few days. Also heard of a local library that had a waterline break and flooded the library. They lost over 3K books.

Watch the Video Wars doc, pretty good breakdown of the evolution from late 70's on.
Never had Atari either. Parents were big into the Sears Wishbook and family friend owned one of their catalog centers so I had the Intellivison since Sears was their major distributor.
Yeah it had around 100 games or so. You can buy a cart that has all of them on there. The die hards make new games now for the Atari 2600/5200.
Sega went the way of the publisher after the Dreamcast because consoles bleed money at cost. Xbox and Playstation made it because Microsoft and Sony can afford to take on that risk and generate profit elsewhere (live services in games, as a developer or licensing).
Nintendo just happens to have a ton of unique IP's that generations have latched onto (Mario, Zelda, etc.) and support regardless of the quality of the console they make and they can typically make a cheaper (at cost for them) console because they aren't pushing cutting edge graphics.

Last time I played a video game was about 15 years ago so was pretty surprised to see a PlayStation 5 and the like was 450 bucks when the new iPhone that people replace every couple years is like 1300. Guess they can only charge so much for a “kids game”.
Absolutely worship all things Mario. Top 10:
1. Super Mario Odyssey
2. Mario Kart 64

- Anyone else dreading the game tomorrow?
- Now might be a good time to get your **** together, Cal.
- Just listened to a podcast going over every bowl game. It’s a clown show. Hardly any team resembles their regular season selves. Whatever. More football.
- “The Kings” docuseries on Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns is worth the $0.99 Showtime deal right now. Outstanding.

-Seems like Playstation stole the Sega crowd.
-I was just giving y'all some hell because it's been insanity around here. Enjoy your time off.
-I will say, these two weeks are essentially what happened for the better part of year with Covid. If that helps people understand why we had supply chain issues and dumbass kids as the result of lockdowns.
-Our tree/gift staging area looked like Omaha Beach on June 7th, 1944.
-Truck has been in the shop for 8 days. Snow, weather, Christmas, etc delaying the repairs. So we're on 3rd round of extending or switching rental cars. Which is always a great way to spend a couple hours.
-I'm excited about the bowl game. Love seeing the young guys get some reps and 1 more for the old dudes. Great not having a big emotional investment in the game. Obviously, I'd prefer to be in the Sugar Bowl.
-Big road game for JVC tomorrow. Drop that one and the fan base is going to Audi5, especially after we get pasted by Bama in 10 days. Not sure how he can expect improvement without a real Camp Cal this year.
-That Chris Beard/Wife statement is wild.
-2 year old is hitting the griddy now.

Cal talking about lineup changes chaps my ***, just play those lineups during the game and we will notice. His line of BS is tolerable when we are winning and running lesser teams, not so much when going 9 & 16 or losing in the first round of NCAA.
Finally got around to watching Obi-Wan on Disney+. It was fine. Hope you enjoyed this peek into my life.
And unfathomably, Otto from A Fish Called Wanda got to laying the pipe so good, she essentially quit acting and raised their kids.
Kevin Kline is an underrated Higher Being.
Surprised our kids with a trip to Disney leaving Christmas evening. Roll up to Standiford Field to see SW quit at life.
Earned my Dad stripes by getting my money back, loading up the ole family truckster in the airport garage and heading south.
On a related note….a close second diaf right behind Southwest….i75 in Georgia and Florida. Good lord add some lanes or something. Good 4-5 hours, and part of my soul, lost to traffic.
-have covid for the first time (documented). Wife was first...positive Saturday, I tested positive Yesterday AM. Girls negative so far.
^extended family Xmas celebration pushed back a week. Sucks for the girls...at least they got to do NYC. Also standing rib roast on Xmas day, clam chowder on Xmas eve.
-at my age I'm over the bravado aspects of work as a reflection of "who I am"...it is a means to provide lifestyle/opportunities for myself and my family. I take as many days off as available...so long as it doesn't interfere with income.
-that said...I'm solo at the office this week...so I came in. Only so much couch/TV time can be tolerated. The positive part of having a "really good time" in my 20's/early 30's is my ability to work when I feel like *****.
*so far it's on par with a nasty head/chest cold. Fingers crossed.
^binged the ROP on prime. It's pretty good. That led to the hobbit trilogy w/lotr on deck. Whatever.
