    Who here has done time...

    Always moving (Navy) but currently live in the northern suburbs of Memphis. Healthy split of UT and Memphis fans here. There's occasionally some good natured ribbing back and forth. But nothing anyone takes serious and nothing gets personal. Have UK vanity plates, wear a lot of UK shirts and...

    Memphis blows a 20+ point lead at home

    It’s all good. Temporarily stationed here For a couple more years. I’m a little north of the actual city where it’s not too bad. There’s some good BBQ, a lot of nice people, and a few other redeeming qualities. Not a place I’d ever stay long term by choice, though. Have been to Cordova a...

    Memphis blows a 20+ point lead at home

    Agreed Memphis fans are horrible. I, unfortunately, live here. That being said, the empty arena was most likely due to weather. Had a Few inches of snow recently that turned to ice today. Piss poor government infrastructure isn’t equipped to deal with it so the roads are pretty bad. Most...

    How would you feel about Grayson Allen if he were a Wildcat?

I was talking to him this morning about last nights games and he said, “The best thing about this season is that I’ll no longer have to see Grayson...

    How Extensive is Your UK Collection?

    Some of the usual items. Most valuable is probably the Joe B Hall Makers bottle with both the printed signature, and his actual signature. I have a few interesting items I picked up a couple of years ago when I was stationed overseas. A UK football Russian nesting doll that I found in Prague...

    Overall Ranking for P5 School Athletic Programs

    That's fair....and those are the sports I follow too. At the same time, some of those "lesser" sports athletes are giving it their all every day for little to no recognition. My dad swam for U.K. back in the mid-late 60s. He was a great athlete in his time even though he can't play basketball...

    Lawrence, KS police - ouch

    Funny. A little salt in the wound maybe, but it grabs attention which is what they're going for. In the grand scheme of things having your favorite team lose is better than getting a DUI or hurting someone because you wanted to do something stupid.
