    Perhaps the unexpected trip to the ER saved this fan the embarrassment from that game? Tragedies always have a catharsis that help audiences put things in perspective and learn from the human experience. So . . . when a Dixie cup full of scalding hot chocolate sends you to the burn unit during...

    * Jimbo Fisher rises from his 2 piece sectional, takes one last huge gulp of whole milk out of the glass, strides to his Aiwa 5-disc CD player and gently hits play on Mariah Carey’s “A Hero Comes Along.”

    Stoops’ thwarted jump to A&M is the modern equivalent of Bear Bryant’s cigarette lighter. And the list of UK Football what-ifs continue. I’m not really sure The Big Dawg in any “administrative” role scares me. The man comes off as barely literate. But the momentum and trajectory of The Stoops...

    Felt like I was in the minority but I told anyone who asked me that I thought Sovereignty was better than Journalism. That form held. In all honesty, Sovereignty probably improved off his Derby effort. Impressive talents, both Journalism and Sov.

    - The Tilt-A-Whirl and Gravitron both ruined the rest of my day. Made the fatal mistake of looking straight on the Gravitron/RoTor (what it was called when I got on it). Never spewed, but was nauseous for about 2 hours. - Our county fair had real life pony rides for a merry-go-round one year. I...

    Change of SZNs observations: - Lower Level at Sea will probably hate this, but the last couple of weeks of school through graduation and then into June is the busiest time of the year for this public educator. If you want a list of all the things that I've done over the last fortnight-plus, I...

    That stretch run in The Preakness scared the **** out of me. I thought there was about to be a huge disaster. Great effort from a great colt. That had ‘05 Afleet Alex vibes.

    - We are wrapping up school on . . . Monday. Seniors are already doing their thing so that means I have half a day to myself. Guess I Marcus post here 'cause there's nothing to read. - I saw Turd Geyesrs at A1A in '97 iirc. - Boogie Fland hightailed it out of Arky, and DJ claims another...

    OK. . . it's testing week here and I'm in charge of a Homeroom that is not testing so I'm bored during Derby Week. If the gyeroLLC syndicate bought a horse racing stable, what GYERO inspired thoroughbred names could we up with? I'd love to see one of these names on a commemorative Derby glass...

    Final fractions came back terrible for the Bluegrass. It's always a "slowish" race, but still. They were crawling for that last 3/8s. Also, I'm almost getting to the point where I treat Bluegrass runners like I do the Japanese invaders. Auto-toss for win bets. The last Bluegrass runner to burn...

    All you need to know about the teacher/student game is that the teachers won and I am retiring forever. While I can still move and am in decent cardio shape, I cannot play against real defense apparently. Humbling. As for the hosses: - Journalism is by far the most consistent horse in the...

    About to go start stretching for a faculty v. student basketball game. I am 48 years old. Y'all pray for me.

    And the ones that stuck around and tried to hijack the thread were doxxed by herm. You really had to bring something to the table if you were a “noob.”

    I'm old enough to remember when Mitch hired Al Skinner to be our next basketball coach. Luckily, '73 put a stop to that ****.
