We were definitely making a run and that charge took all our momentum. That team such great team defense but Bogans playing with a bad wheel really crushed the machine.

Carrier always sticks out to me for some reason. Maybe it is my best friend's nickname for him, Flex Crapman.

About to go smug life with private school tuition because our local “hybrid” system is completely undoable for 2 full time working parents.

Blevins had a big game against eventual champ Michigan State in December 1999.

Always appreciate when Kentucky kids- even with marginal careers- have their one shining moment. Harrison against Florida, for instance. Hawkins against UNC.

And people forget Meals shooting F’ing 70% from three during the ‘97 championship game run.

Oh and Willis could’ve had his shining moment if he would’ve hit that three against Carolina in the E8. Still redassed about that one.

I truly believe Blevins would have had a much better career in Pitino’s system. Tubby ball just wasn’t meant for a player like him.

I watched him hit 7 threes against Cumberland county in the ‘97 distinct finals...........in the 1st quarter.

Then I got to watch him - up close and personal - score 11 points against me (*kinda) in the ‘98 district finals.

*we threw a weird zone at him which had me (or our other guard) picking him up about 2 steps across half court. Tie game at halftime and we proceeded to rattle off 16 straight in the 3rd while never missing a shot as a team.

Glory days!

You don't make the Parade All-America THIRD team if you're supposed to be the next Bill Walton. Good grief.

It was a joke. you know like Porter playing for USC. Good grief, sorry I wasn't more obvious there Charlie Brown. Good grief, and by the way, Kenny Walker and Jack Givens was also a measly ole third team, they turned out all right. So using that measuring stick was not in your favor. Issel was 6th team.

Tony Delk - 4th team

That 97 Cumberland County team was stacked too iirc.

They actually had a kid named Rico Carter (?? - is that right Strokin’?) who all of Cumberland county wanted at UK.

They would call in to Pitino’s radio show and beg him to extend an offer. [laughing]

And in fairness - that CC team put us out in the first round (best game of my career, too). They were loaded up with a decent group of seniors.

And you can piss on the 4th region all you want (ESPECIALLY the old 16th district), but Blevins tore it all up his jr year. Everywhere he played. His Sr year was simply disappointing.

- Article on ranking the 11 worst baseball card sets of all time. Personally, I never liked the 87 Topps wood-grain set.

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb...a-of-baseball-cards/9ek6k16xba4v17z9hqkhyxeny

- Term I heard all the time as a kid but can't remember the last time anyone around me said... "heat lightning".

- I listen to several golf podcasts each week and it's really cool how entertaining and open the younger, mid-level pros can be. Crazy talented guys (like Max Homa, Joel Dahmen, etc) that haven't reached uber-levels of wealth or had their personalities drained out of them by sponsors are really entertaining listens for golf honks.

- Full bathroom renovation should start soon so I have divorce to look forward to.

- I generally like chaos in sports so I'm kinda hoping the Marlins just throw a minor league team out there and see what happens.

In pretty sure Rico was 4th region POY that year

Like I said - those f*ckers put us out (and actually beat us 3 times that year o_O) so I gotta put some respect on it.

But, yeah, we could combine the entirety of that district (Monroe, Cumberland, Clinton, Metcalfe) and still not compete for the 4th title.

Cracks me up to see C suite folks, managers, etc., playing around on Linkedin all day, particularly as I recall how much **** the average employee has gotten over the years for their internet usage.

::LInkedIn Post::

Exec: TOTALLY AGREE HERE. I SEE IT ALL THE TIME PEOPLE NOT MANAGING THEIR PRODUCTIVITY BETTER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND <self-help business author>. ALTHOUGH HE IS IN THE SOFTWARE SPACE THERE ARE TWO SIX OCLOCKS EVERY DAY AND ITS UP TO US TO DECIDE HOW WE USE IT. <industry peer> AND I WERE JUST DISCUSSING THIS LAST WEEK.

The American 50 HOUR WORK WEEK culture/employee control has never been more exposed as complete ******** than it is now.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Shannon the Dude's 50 mile walk tomorrow night. It's played out like multiple GYERO bets.

PTI does he have any chance with little preparation?

20 hours 10 pm to 6 pm

In decent shape

Has 5k for motivation

Has walked as much as 18 miles in preparation

Route is KSBar to MOW, MOW to Verailles, turn around to Richmond Rd, Richmond Rd/Main to Broadway back to the bar. Repeat

Will have fresh shoes/insoles/clothes/food/water at his disposal.

It's supposed to rain all night tomorrow night though so it's probably not even going happen. No chance I'd try with the weather forecast even if I had done it before.

I'm reading the Al Michaels autobiography now and some interesting stories about his three years in the Reds' booth, U.S. Hockey, etc., but he was doing the play by play of the 1989 Bay area earthquake series and it turns out sportswriters and columnists have a long history of sucking so it's not a generational thing but rather a legacy.

He said that he was doing the rounds of morning TV like GMA urging the World Series go on, that the people of northern California were resilient and wanted it to go on but that sportswriters across the country were demanding it be cancelled because it was making light of the deaths, that traffic would be too big a nightmare, the stadiums may not be safe but Michaels said the truth was these guys just didn't want to be bothered with it and wanted to go home.

6th and 7th Region basketball thinks this discussion is hilarious.

I have no idea where the 4th Region even is btw.
Click to expand...

May want to check it out. I know there is no known cure for folks that grow up in Louisville to acknowledge other areas of the state, but pick up a book and check it out.

4th region has produced 2 state champs, one runner up, 2 semi-finalists in the last 15 years. That’s just off the top of my head. Could be better.

The 4th had a 5 year run of producing 3 Mr. Basketballs. Not bad for us lesser peons from po-dunk holler. Wish we could fit y’all’s stereotype better. Sorry.
