- I lazily perused the college games on Saturday and NFL on Sunday. The only game I really paid attention to was the Arkansas State vs. Kansas State and it was a heck of a contest. The ACC and BIG 12 have some absolutely horrible teams. Also, if you give us Louisville's schedule we go at least 9-2 in that **** show.

- I tried to get into the NFL this weekend, but we really don't match and I'm not that interested in it.

- It's going to be interesting to see how college basketball will evolve this season without the tourney last year and how the NCAA will handle all of those baby d*ck ACC coaches wanting every team to participate. Due to the revenue lost last year, I fully expect the NCAA to hand out participation trophies to everyone and invite them to the "Big Dance."

- Fall is on it's way, which means great fall sipping beers. I picked up Braxton and Rhinegeist's Oktoberfest offerings last night and wasn't disappointed. I'm really looking forward to Bell's Best Brown Ale, which for my money is the best seasonal beer of them all.

- Almost lunch time.

College basketball HC predictions for the next decade:

UK- Cal will be here another 4-6 years. He will be replaced by a solid coach thus extending the great coach, solid coach, drunk coach UK hiring pattern. My guess is Chris Holtmann. Chris Beard will already have another big time job.

IU- Archie will last another 2 years. He will be replaced by Chris Beard, who of course has Knight ties. They will better than they were under Crean but not Knight level.

UL- Mack will be there a long time giving all 3 Kentuckiana teams a Chris as a HC.

Duke- K will last 2-3 more years. Dawkins will get the first shot despite better candidates. He'll last 3-5 years before being replaced by Wojo or Hurley.

UNC- Roy will last 3-5 more years. He'll dip mid-season in the midst of a disappointing season citing health concerns. Steve Robinson will take over and lead them to a respectable season. He'll keep the job 1-2 years ala Guthridge and they'll hire an up and coming UNC linked coach. I'm guessing Stack or Wes Miller.

Kansas- Self will resign after program is hit with major sanctions. Other big coaches will be scared away by penalties. They'll hire a decent coach with Jayhawk ties. Between Jerod Haase, Tad Boyle and Mark Turgeon... I'll go with Haase. He'll be out in 4-6 years and they'll hire Buzz after his very successful stint with Tex AM.

Others of note:
Florida- Anthony Grant
Tenn- Steve Forbes
Mizz- Tad Boyle
Clemson- Shaka Smart
Arizona- Brian Dutcher
Pitt- Keith Damrot
Maryland- Kevin Willard
Syracuse- Danny Hurley
UConn- Steve Pikell
Georgia Tech- Ron Hunter
Mich St- Dwayne Stephens
Marquette- Brian Wardle
Memphis- Sean Miller
West Virginia- John Brannen
Cincy- Archie
Tulsa- Cuonzo Martin
Georgetown- Jamion Christian
Texas- Gregg Marshall

First off- excellent post.

KU will luck into great timing and grab Beard who will become their greatest coach of all-time.

IU will get Marshall, something they should have done 5 years ago. He’ll be excellent.

UK will make a good hire. Not sure whom as I expect Cal to be here much longer than expected. He loves the stage too much. Our tournament luck will turn and he’ll grab two more rings, cementing himself as our best since Rupp and an all-timer historically.

UNC will get Wes Miller- a good hire with high upside.

Duke will go with Scheyer or Capel. The hire will recruit like a sonofabitch but ultimately disappoint.

No other program matters.

- Regarding college football, of course it hasn’t been great yet. We’ve had ZERO important matchups. We’re used to opening with a bang.

- Cool to see Braxton take over that Pendleton location. Great space. Braxton is easily my favorite brewery in the region.

I think USC fires Enfield in two years and hires Pitino. They have a legitimate AD now, and Enfield has been ultimately disappointing. Meanwhile, Cronin is changing the UCLA program to fit his coaching style, and his getting higher-level recruits than he's ever gotten. Job #1 for the guy is to replace Clay Helton, obviously, but then he'll turn his attention to hoops and want to hit a homerun. This will also allow Pitino to give two years to Iona instead of bolting after a single season, Petrino-style.

That really gets me thinking... how long did you/we expect Cal to be here when he was hired? I suppose it's just time seeming to past faster as we age, but it floors me that he's been here longer than Pitino or Tubby was. I guess Cal is also currently the longest tenured coach in the SEC?

Granted we thought we'd have multiple titles by now, but if the original O/U had been set at 7 years for Cal, I would have definitely taken the under.

IDGAF who Duke hires as long as they fall on their face after K leaves...that program is in for a reckoning which unfortunately hasn't happened due to K being able to be "untouchable". I'm tired of his sh*t and "holier than thou" approach. The NCAA has had multiple chances to go after him, but somehow hasn't due to him fainting during a game and coaching the Olympics. F*ck Duke.

The gentlemen's agreement is garbage, right? My BS-o-meter went off immediately when I first read those words. Very done-deal ish. If there was any kind of agreement, it will be enforced by the SEC via delayed eligibility announcement. No way an eligible Gatewood sits if we need him (and no way any SEC coach would have agreed to such malarkey).

Fall and UK football are taking way too damn long to get here. A semi-cool evening teaser here and there ain't cutting it, and neither are these slates of trash games leading up to the real deal. IDGAF bout Arkansas State or Eastern.

I can't finish a bottle of bourbon if it's above average in quality or rarity. Any decent single barrel, store pick, barrel proof and/or allocated anything gets down to 25% and I just have to move on to the next. Running out of room in the cabinet.

Batting like .950 on the WSM, but arrogance led to an epic failure on my first brisket last fall and haven't tried one since.

Post K Duke will suck.

Not buying the gentleman's agreement, at all. I'd be fine with it, but I don't believe it.

Brisket, for the most part, isn't worth the effort, imo. They're only great for about 30 minutes after cut, takes 20 hours to do correctly most times, really easy to f*ck up, expensive, etc. I don't have the desire or patience to mess with them.

Counterpoint: There aren't a lot of good places in town to get brisket, so if you can make a great one (and have enough people to enjoy it) it's worth the effort. If you live in Texas it's a different story.

The NCAA has already stated that they wouldn't use this year against eligibility. So if someone doesn't have eligibility (a transfer) and plays what can they do about it?

I'm pretty sure they meant anyone otherwise eligible won't lose a year of eligibility if they play. I don't think they meant guys that aren't eligible can play. Otherwise, let's see if Anthony Davis wants to go for another run through college.

Your Anthony Davis comp is extreme, but if transfers as a whole took it on what is the argument for them not playing when everyone else gets a year for free?*

Finally, unpaused my YTTV account yesterday(f*ck the Reds and FSOH) after having enough of the BS that is Hulu(what a POS service) and watched RZ. It's perfect for the casual fan. $10, I can deal with that.

I switched back after the CLE series when Bell didn't use his best reliever in the key moment of the game and lost them a game for the 3rd or 4th time of the season (at that point). Have only seen a portion of one Reds game on FS1 ever since then. Longest stretch of my life without watching them... and, to borrow from REM, I feel fine.

Hulu's interface and lack of an unlimited DVR drove us crazy. Dawn was willing to deal with it just for me during baseball season, but she was really glad I was willing to switch back. YTTV is great.

We have blue door. It's excellent. Not hating on anyone, if they enjoy it, just a lot of work for not a lot of room for error.

What annoys me is not being able to use it on my TV at work as well. Yesterday we lost internet at the house so I turned on the hotspot and Hulu wouldn't let me stream to my TV from a "mobile" network. GTFO. I can load YTTV up anywhere. That's on top of the browsing at Hulu being awful.

I think the argument is they aren't eligible until the NCAA says they are eligible (not being a smart *** here). The default rule is if you transfer you are ineligible until you sit out a year. This is the default unless you get a waiver. So, if no official waiver, you aren't eligible by default. Should this be the rule? Probably not. But since it is, we can't just trot him out there middle fingers flying unless we're cool with whatever penalties the NCAA wants to give us for spitting in their face.

I mean, brisket is great when done well, but yeah it’s a lot of effort. For those who struggle with basic steak, a daunting task for sure.

Poker Run this weekend was fun. Pretty much spring break/county fair/mardigras morphed into one event. Not something I’d wanna do every weekend, but it has its place...there are some different people on this earth...Had some friends play a concert on a houseboat afterwards too. #Lakelife

Stroke of luck walked in and found a birthday bourbon on the shelf. Best $119 Ive spent in a while.

Off this week if anybody wants to golf.

NFL was good yesterday.

Flat iron for boatdad tonight.

cheers
