Started doing my online Christmas shopping for a few of the nieces and nephews and my folks. I guess there is a legitimate concern about shipping delays and supply issues on certain things so I'm trying to get out front of that.

Asked my dad what he wanted- and he sent me a picture of nice, shiny new Callaway BALL RETRIEVER. Apparently, he spends a few hours a week just snagging wayward tee shots from around Wildwood, bags them up and gives them away. So much in fact that his current retriever is busted and held together by duct tape. It will be the easiest gift I give this year- but the recipient may be the happiest.

Cutout *has* to be Blankenbaker, Zipp, Rutherford, or one of the other UL douches. I'll pay.

Celebrated LSAT's birthday dinner in the big city this weekend. Grabbed drinks at Seviche (Old Fo' 150th Batch 3) and then headed over to Jack Fry's (George T Stagg 2020). Just an awesome meal. Warm brie salad just always delivers.

Took down a ******** thin/angly crabapple in my yard and replaced with a nice 2" caliper autumnalis flowering cherry tree. They bloom 2x a year, fam. Once in the spring and once in the fall. Longer life span than the similar Japanese ornamentals. Pretty excited. *Maybe* 1 more tree in the back -- then it will be a strict 'maintain' mode from here on out.

Mom and dad finally pulled the trigger after 27 years in Murfreesboro and decided to move up here. Crazy how much Middle TN has changed in the time since. They found a nice spot out Troy Pike not too far from Booker Noe. More kid support is never a bad thing. They're rapidly aging so it's a nice peace of mind to have them so close now.

Several people said it a couple days ago but it was hilarious how amazingly different the dynamic of the offense looked with Beau Allen planting his back foot and assessing **** downfield. Of course it was small snapshot but it all seemed to slow down and dudes were running in space. Reminded me of 1L back in 2006 when I wanted to pound my head into the sand with life and Andre Woodson decided to takeover the reigns. With his poise/decision making and ability to look off his first receiver, it got me through a rough fall when I was contemplating if I wanted to be an attorney or not. Now that team did not suck.

$70 doesn’t sound too bad if you could at least get away with some funny cutouts.

No. I went thru the little checkout thingy. If you choose the Rupp premium, it is $350. And it has a nice little disclosure that for ANY reason (including the cutout not being full size) it will be denied. it also states NO refund will be given no matter if you are selected or not, even if the cutout is perfect. It also states that if fans are eventually allowed, you could lose your spot and no refund will be made. They UK athletic department will be sole judge of which cutouts get accepted, and once again, no refund if you are not selected.

It is a fleece of fans just as always. GUARANDAMNTEE you, only the premium $350 Big donors will be selected first, then on down the line. Normal BJW and his measly $70 will once again be last in line. UK should be ashamed trying to gouge fans during normal times, much less now. You would think they would be grateful MF'ers would help them fill a empty arena with cutouts portraying real fans, especially since said fans does all the work for them.

My cutout would be the black dude in the white shirt in the Marshall Henderson Auburn gif.

Actually I'd like to recreate the who gif in cutout form.

Sounds like either Rupp or Central Bank didn't like the conversation. Lol.

Central Bank is pissed.

Received a call from UK ticket office yesterday wanting to know if I wanted to buy season tickets. I am pretty far down the priority list. Offered two in section 21. $4100+ for 14 games. Thanks but no thanks Mitch.

I heard a good apocryphal story (in the late 90’s) as regards money at Augusta National:

Some young tech mogul ******* gets an invite for a round. He wants to make it interesting, but is told that gambling at Augusta is verboten. So he plays the round, but bitches about it all day. Later in the clubhouse, he’s still loudly complaining and can’t believe they couldn’t make any wagers all day.

Hootie overhears him and has had enough. He walks over and asks him how much he’s worth. The guy says the amount and then Hootie sets a deck of cards in front of him and says if he wants to gamble, Hootie will gamble against him for his net worth and he can cut the cards for it right then and there.

I like to think it’s either the Pets.com guy or a time traveling Bourbon Czar from the future.

Urban legend I’d imagine - as I’ve heard different versions of this story.

Wasn't Hootie, it was Jack Stephens. And it wasn't a tech guy, it was a car exec from Detroit.

Yep.

If you Catholics don't love this Pope, I got nothing for you. Ol' boy was caught liking (probably wasn't really him anyway) an IG models pictures today by Barstool. Every fiber of my being hopes it was him, though.

P.S. Can someone drive out to Cali and check on '73? I'm missing randoms about his kids and such. Very worried and whatnot.

I've heard some great Augusta stories, but my favorite is about Boone Knox who, for the golf nerds, is Jeff Knox's father. He was lit one night driving home from dinner at the club when he saw some cops had a checkpoint set up. Mr. Knox jumps in the backseat of his car and lays down. When the cops see a car in the line hasn't moved, they walk over to check on and see Boone Knox (a very prominent guy in Augusta, obviously) looking passed out in the backseat. They tap on the glass, he pops up, rolls down the window and says "where's Pepe?" The cops were confused- "who's Pepe, Mr. Knox?" "The little Mexican fella who drives me! Damnit, I thought he might have been an illegal...you boys must have scared him off when he saw the lights! Somebody's got to give me a ride home."

Went from drunk driving at a police checkpoint, to having a cop drive him home in his own car.

(Before one of you unoriginal idiots gets to it, no, he was not late for a wedding...)
