    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Been trying to sell my warehouse for a long time. Finally got an offer I could accept, but the buyers had to have a specific license from the state of KY to be able to close. The state has been dragging their feet and closing has been delayed several times. The license finally came through and...

    Brothers, I died for 5 minutes on April 21st.

    I recall a few postings with you about some things. Sometimes life ain't easy and you have had a hard time. Hang in there my internet friend.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    On a sad note, this reminds me of Hank Williams. He was at his peak when I was a kid and dad loved his songs. I Saw The Light was one of his hits. Minnie Pearl and Roy Acuff tried to mentor Hank. Minnie said that Hank once told her, "The trouble is, there just ain't no d@@@ light!"

    Joe hall vs Mark Pope...1st 2 years

    I think there was bitterness by Rupp. I recall stories that he had agreed to coach Duke after UK forced him to retire, but perhaps over health issues did not follow through. I also think Joe had threatened to go elsewhere. I was a big Rupp fan and really enjoyed his post game radio shows, but do...

    Joe hall vs Mark Pope...1st 2 years

    I think his head coaching was prior to becoming a "coach in waiting" at UK. From memory, I think talk was he might leave UK because he was tired of waiting on Rupp to retire.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    I mostly post on the D, but I see you post on basketball. I can't link on this device, but you should check out evanmiya.com. pro scouts use him. He has MOM rated an A overall, A plus offense, A minus DEFENSE despite what everyone is saying. B minus playmaking. (Only C minus rebounding).

    The Dust Has Settled: Stokes or Momcilovic?

    Norlander Predicting UK for Milan

    Only knowing what I read about him, I agree he is probably getting a lot more money than he might have and he and his agent handled it well. I don't like college ball being pro ball, but it is what it is. Btw if anyone cares Re what money they make, my uncles grandson was eighth in minutes on a...

    Norlander Predicting UK for Milan

    I was never more than a so so player. My uncle was good enough to play D1. He got up a game one day for money and one of his players couldn't make it, so he asked me to go at the last minute. I was younger and smaller than everyone, so I was afraid to shoot. I just wanted to pass tHe ball every...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    My final six months in Viet Nam were as Asst NCOIC of security at a radar station. We took on all takers in fast pitch softball and never lost. Our huge advantage was we had a pitcher who had (when he was back in the states) beaten Eddie Feigner (The King and his Court). One time we stomped a...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Re warning track power: at a playing weight of 170, I was never a Mark McGwire , but I got all my body weight into my swing, so I hit it harder than a lot of guys bigger than me. After a couple of surgeries on my left leg, I could no longer step hard into a swing. It made me to much of an arm...
