-Thursday me a co-worker in Lou to do grab lunch, tour Stizel Weller, then grab dinner at Ruby's. Stayed at The Grady, really nice, awesome location. Then back to Louisville to hang with the crew all day Saturday.
-Ate Sidebar for lunch both days. Great burger.
-Stizel Weller is a really cool property, the new bourbon there sucks, but the history and being a stones throw from where I grew up made it worth it. Just imagine the regret of selling the names to all those bourbons.
-Stopped in Neat, new bourbon bar on BTown Rd, believe the guy is buddies with Krazy. Good looking bar, sells mostly dusties. Give it a look.
-Cocktails at Hell or High Water, love that place.
-Watched the game Saturday at... drumroll... Tin Roof. Hell of a day. Bonz, PTI, BBdk, Turbo, WCC, Beans(and their crew), ap.com, rich showed up later.
-Bounced around until it was just turbo and I trying to track down White Castle or Taco Bell.
-That will scratch the sit around a bar and drinking all day itch. I'm good for a bit.
-I deserve a hard time after my Bengals hate over the years. Burrow makes it hard because I really like the kid and he's just a cool mf. I got them +4(3*) to win the SB, feel like that was a steal. They're just better than the Rams.
-Sweat 4 Surgeries was success again. 2 good workouts. Really fun event.
-Tomorrow marks the beginning of the worst month, however it's one step closer to the promised land. Also, ever so slightly the days are getting longer. I'm done being cooped up in the house with a ravenous 6 year old.
-The game, JFC. I was really confident going in(once I knew Washington was playing), probably a little too much, but I figured it'd be a war being at PA. We just overwhelmed them. If you don't have the horses to pressure our guards then you really don't have a chance. Experience to be patient and find a wide open Brooks all night is the difference in upperclassman leadership and say a back court of Wall/Bledsoe. Junk zone perplexed them. This crew figured it out in just a few possessions then took em to task. Now teams aren't going to be able to leave their man, should free up Grady and Washington even more.
-If we don't see Sharpe Wednesday then we never see him in a UK game. JMO. We're in a much better place than a week ago to bring him along, and I think we should, but I don't get the sense it's happening.
-Kenpom #3 and CBS #3.
Win this weekend and let's go play Auburn in Tampa for that 1 seed.
-Brooks got the love, and he deserved it, but:
*Oscar outclassed them with a ho-hum 17/14
*Grady played awesome D, sometimes guarding a POY candidate, and hit every big 3 he took
*Washington, goes to show you how good he is, ice cold from the field but doesn't shoot us out of the game and dishes 5 assists.
-Wheeler his typical self, 8 asst, goddam pest defensively, knocked down 2 big 3s.
-Eating a lot of humble pie lately but Ware has really made some strides. He's a serviceable backup at this point. Which is huge so we can keep Oscar fresh and out of foul trouble. Early this season he looked AWFUL. Good for him. Cal has his 8.
