I don't know if there's a player in Kentucky history whose life is more different because of his choice than Tyler Herro. He'd be a redshirt sophomore who's coming off the bench until he can add more muscle if he'd gone to Wisconsin.

Meanwhile I bet someday Sam Dekkar finds himself thinking about Tyler Herro carpet bombing in the NBA playoffs and starring in rap videos and he'll have to close the office door at his real estate agency in Kenosha for a few minutes to pull it together.

UK Basketball Questions:

- Leading scorer- Clarke or Boston?

- Cam Fletcher transfer by midseason or make it to April?

- O/U Boston’s 3pt%: 36%

- Askew- maddening or fan-favorite?

- Geese’s second favorite Cat after Boston? I’m guessing Mintz with Allen being the darkhorse.

- Which freshman big is better- Ware or Jackson?

- What level of Cal freshman will Boston and Clarke be?

Tier 1- Wall, Cousins, Davis
Tier 2- Fox, Monk, Murray, Randle, MKG, Towns, Knight
Tier 3- Young, Adebayo, SGA, Herro, Booker, Lamb

Funny how Randle consistently is put as tier 2 at UK. He was as good as Boogie if not better. Facts.

Cousins was extremely dominant when he played but he only played like 20 mins a game due to foul trouble and had Patterson helping him inside. Hard to compare to Randle who carried that 2014 team in the tournament and if he didn’t have cramps I’m convinced we wouldve won title.

Buy the truck with cloth, have leather put in for around $1200, keep your extree $3600.

Patti's is OK, chop IS overrated, but the damn putt putt is not, hard MF'er with real water and sand bunkers. WTF ?

Mary major USED to be the best restaurant around the LBL area. Old black lady cooking up some damn good soul / country vittles.

The Pelican had a good breakfast and burger.

Willow Pond was the place for catfish

RIP to all of those fine establishments. Mary Major’s, family style meal for lunch on Sunday’s was a staple, The Pelican for a 2am burger after a night out was better than Tylenol, and Willow Pond was possibly the most consistently good restaurant around.

Yes. Randle was practically automatic down low and carried us in a TON of games. Top 10 in double doubles all time at UK, 4 more than Boogie. More points, more rebounds and was best player on team that was runner up for title.

My point is Randle is a Tier 1 guy at UK, no questions asked.

When I think about Wall and Boogie, I don’t remember individual stats, or even focus on how it ended. I just remember them taking us from being irrelevant and on the doorstep of a has-been program, to being great again, in the flash of an eye.

And for that, those two guys, and that whole team, will always be close Wildcat friends of mine.

With all the Patti’s talk I was actually thinking of the Pelican earlier. Many a drunken night in high school driving across the dam for a Pelican Burger and some finger banging action afterwards in the driveway of a girls house.

Cousins had a couple of things going for him that Randle didn't, one was the absolute enthusiasm and relief that we were out of the wilderness of the Gillespie/Tubby last years and that we were dominant from the get go all the way into the tournament. That was a season of joy until the West Va. loss. We all remember what a disaster 2014 seemed to be until the "tweak" and throw in we were coming off a NIT the year before, fans were not happy. Fans loved Cousins for the entire season, Randle for about four weeks.

My last support call tonight: A mother, on vacation with her kids, calls FCPS because she can't figure out how to connect to the WiFi at the Norfolk, VA Hilton.

I told her it was a captive portal issue, and that she needed to find a place with open WiFi (like a Starbucks etc.), have her kid login there, and then go back to the hotel, w/o turning off the Chromebook.


(she did it...)

See — I need to get to know the next level of hole in the wall / local favorite eateries but am not sure how to dig that out of gyeros collective consciousness

it’s one thing to look up places to eat but another to lean on trusted sources who go beyond the google search

If you are so inclined please mention a Lexington area bar/restaurant that’s not obvious - that you love ....cause I’m stuck in a rut now and. Need a nudge

thanks in advance , y’all
