Mid January is the worst. What you don't just love 40 and pissing rain?


Hated the freaking 'false positive' warmth that was around here for about 2 weeks --- but don't like the endless 'whiney *** / non-committed to WINTER" mess that you're referring to either......Winter should just TRANSFER it's cheap *** out of here along with Kahille Whitey.....hell-fire it's be emacipation by division -- I DO know that much

This has been the Antowan Barbour of winters......

Breaking News: Quade still sucks


He had that one game with the cataract glasses on.....he played really good in the futuristic shades...... seems like that may have been against Va Tech in Philly?


Found Ravens Run here south on Tates Creek and started breaking the exercise drought with a good 2 1/2 hour whatever back there.....

So I'd never tried Gnocchi before -- didn't know what it was
Had it at OBC a few days ago and GOOD LORD it was amazing --

the kind of food where you realize you're making involuntary sounds.....but don't really care

just transfer that shame RIGHT ON OUTTA HERE,

Goodfellas pizza is the best pizza I've had here so far --
Need to try Ramseys I guess

- Why is it a national story that a high school isn’t letting a kid graduate because he has long dreds? Can’t the Wakawana County Register handle this one? It’s almost as if the media is trying to divide us.

- I couldn’t be more pumped for today’s ballgame. Let’s see where we are.

- Babyface was perhaps the most underrated performing artist of the ‘90s. And no need to come after me, Gary Allan fans- just my opinion.

- Old Navy of all places has a pretty solid line of athletic gym wear. And AT REASONABLE PRICES.

- Report from a couple beers with my dad last night:

* Biggest concern today is those damn refs down there in Texas, and then a rolleyes about Montgomery.
* Reds will near certainly win the pennant.
* Even Mike Brown can’t F up this Burrow pick.
* Mom’s oldest sister is still a pain in the ***.
* My work bench down in the basement needs to be more organized. Can’t even find those wrenches he bought me at the estate sale last year. It’s ridiculous.

4. I like driving. And I’m good at it. Want to race. Would love to have a performance car to play with. Out of necessity (million kids) we have SUV’s for daily drivers. Not in a position to buy a Dr Boat car for the weekend. But what about buying like a five year old Maxima or 6-banger Accord just to keep around for driving pleasure? Not unreasonable or ostentatious, and amazing driving dynamics when compared to my 10-year-old 4 Runner. Is that fair or am I missing something?

Do it.

I went with a 300ZX. So many options to upgrade, tons of aftermarket parts and a big enough network of enthusiasts that getting used parts or support is easy.

And, it's stupid fast and a blast to drive.

This is a really stupid point. Leaving for another job is not the same thing as quit in January.

It's not on the surface; agree there. Tubby also sought his next option on UK's dime during the season. That's where I'm seeing hypocrisy with him.

Actually it’s worse. Every kid Tubby had recruited and had gotten a commitment to come and play for him had the rug pulled out from under them when he left. They were stuck like it or not with their decisions while he was free to go con someone else out of millions of dollars to sink their ship. Him quitting negatively effected at minimum one or two guys each time he did it. Whitney leaving effects no one negatively except maybe himself.

Whitney stinks, knows he stinks, and knows he isn’t likely to be good enough to get himself drafted by playing here. So he leaves. Boo f*cking hoo. He wasn’t paid to play here, he has no obligation to stay here and rot on the bench when he has a very limited window to prove he should be paid to play basketball.

Whether leaving was a good idea for him personally is up for debate, but coaches claiming moral superiority about quitting (leaving for a better opportunity) when they themselves quit (leave for a better opportunity) all the damn time is ******** I’m not willing to listen to or accept. The hypocrisy is pathetic.

Tubby doesn’t give a f*ck about teaching kids not to quit, his real motive is he doesn’t want his players being able to leave if he doesn’t want them to.

-damn straight.

-ate at renata's last night with a a group of 9 couple of bday celebrations. A solid b-. Buddy's wife picked up the tab...so that enhanced the experience.

-cci at midnight is *completely* different as a teetotaler. Not bad, just different. There was clogging and some sort of pb&j shot.

-early bball game was difficult on 5 hrs sleep.

-kates in a close one.

Bill Self on Gameday perfectly playing the martyr role, while the media is swooning about how beautifully he’s managed this unfortunate situation.


He’s not just a coach, he’s a leader of men. #amex

Glad KU has been given the opportunity to move on from this and do PR damage control after dealing with it for almost 5 days

Am I the only one who doesn't really have a problem with Self's position here? I'm guessing Cal would do the exact same thing, and we'd all applaud him for it.

**This has nothing to do with Kansas or Self in general ---> F him and that cesspool program, obviously.

Let me tell you, no other coach in America (at any level) would get the kid glove treatment like Bill Self gets. Not from the media. Not from a governing body. And definitely not from their administration. Many coaches would be subject to discipline or termination at this point. Instead, he’s celebrated as martyr, as someone previously stated.

KU’s perception should be one of a rogue program with no self-restraint or discipline - a rudderless ship, if you will - but it is somehow spun into “doing what’s right by the sport and history of this great program.”

There is a George W Bush earnestness (fake or not) about Bill Self. It works for him and so he charms his way into excusing the actions of Snoop Dogg (while simultaneously throwing his athletic department/admins under the bus) and Silvio De Sousa (a great human being, apparently) as people cheer him on.

What an amazing segment. A lesson in Pravdian propaganda.

He’s playing his role perfectly. But as I said in previous post, no other coach in America at any level (save Coach K, obvs) would get the slack he’s given. . . especially by their administration. He totally threw them under the bus in that segment as he explained the “Midnight Madness” situation/perception of the program . . . because he knows he can.

I gotcha. I’d do the same thing if I was in a similar situation and I knew I could use those tactics to my advantage! He’s playing his cards perfectly.

I don’t like it and know that he’s full of crap, but yeah. As always, CYA and use the resources you have to do so.

Miami needs to be careful not to overlook North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Feels like they're not taking this one seriously. Might even be looking ahead to their matchup next week with Virginia Tech.

Roy waiting a full month to pass Dean Smith on the all-time wins list is all class. Going 0 for January is a small price to pay to show proper reverence to the legend.

@WayneDougan what's the game atmosphere at 502?

*Wife was about 2 minutes ahead of the place where the truck fell off the overpass.
[/QUOTE]

502 is solid - and they typically have the volume up for all UK and UofL games. Not as packed as Drake's, but people complain about it being more expensive than Drakes. Well, yeah, they don't serve tater tots and crinkly fries either you silly rubes. @BernieSadori - I'd join you for the game today, but my wife is making me go out with her neighborhood friends to Gustavo's at 8. Stop by for a Margarita if you want.

No one told me about the truck going over the overpass as I was out of town. Saw the picture of it last night. How that didn't hit anybody is beyond me as that time of day everybody's coming back from work.

Fights happen in sports. I believe the suspensions were fair. No one was injured.

It’s the cumulative effect of Self’s shenanigans that I find disturbing. It’s drama every year there.

Parking lot at O'Charlies here in BG was on some First 48 **** last night. Two dudes get into a heated argument inside the restaurant, decide to take it outside. A fight ensues then shots rang out. In the end, 9 shots fired, a 21 year old laid dead in the parking lot, and a 41 year transported to The Medical Center for gunshot wounds. (typing that in my best First 48 narrator voice) Of course the gunman is still at large, BUT the janky PD and Media here told us it was not a random act of violence and the public is safe. Of course we are, a casual night at O'Charlies having dinner and gunshots break out, nothing to worry about. Dude probably got mad cause the guy got his rolls before he did.

I drove by minutes after it happen. Of course I had to see what all the fuss was about. They where covering the deceased victim as I got there. Blood freaking everywhere. It was right in front of the main entrance, bullet holes in the dudes car, broken glass everywhere. Pretty scary sight when you get that close to a active crime scene. I bet there was 30 cop cars from various departments there.

Well if you would have taken the time to read instead of jumping to quick to try and be a smart *** and look cool, I stated I DROVE by right after it happened. Meaning I was not eating there, I drove by there. It is on Scottsville Road at the busiest intersection, hard not to drive by it, I do not patron O'Charleys. But IF I did, there are far worse places. I have had a many beers there during Happy Hour though. 2 for 1 is not a bad little deal. But I am sure the Hipster places are more your style. LOL, too good for O'Charleys that is worse than eating there IMO.
