My dad and I had a lovely father daughter ***** session about how much we hate Cal now and what a dipshit Andy Beshear is. A tradition unlike any other?
If you like football in the snow you may enjoy tonight’s game.
Will be at a hotel in Paducah watching tonight’s game. Pretty excited to be holed up with a BW’s across the street.
hopefully I can stop myself from picking a fight to go enjoy the game!

You should go down the road to Flamingo Row
I might. FYI, I got that 1940 Buick for $4,000.
I can’t wait to start working on it!

The 2003 BCS Championship game was on ESPN earlier- there were some really awful storylines from a lot of those guys after that game.
Sean Taylor was murdered by a group of teenagers
Clarett's life spiraled away and he went from a sure bet NFL player to locked up
Kellen Winslow made a habit of sexually assaulting the elderly
Those were only the highlights, there were a number of other arrests and legal issues throughout those two rosters.

Just got a text from AT&T that I get Dec. 27-31 free for everything. Nashville relief is the reason given. Even though it didn’t affect me I’ll take it as a consolation prize for 2020.
it just said they’ll waive overage fees from that time. They’re not giving you a week free.
Man, I can’t even tell you how hard I’d be bragging if I just got a $7 credit on my cell phone bill.
Well damn, just like the rest of the year, looks promising then ends up being crap.
PTI, you being such a penny pincher all these years, I thought you’d have been more impressed than just bragging about it.

Frank Gore has 16,000 rushing yards (3rd most all-time) and has played in more games than any running back in NFL history. Not too shabby for a kid that blew his ACL twice at Miami.
There really is no excuse for not playing Allen against Louisville if Clarke was hobbled so badly. None.
And the schedule being too tough is garbage. We're MFing KENTUCKY. Chad, I know you're tired of hearing about Gonzaga, but those guys are playing anybody, anywhere, anytime. They'd have UT and Baylor games to play if not for COVID. They aren't bitching about the schedule in Spokane. My only beef with that school is not closing out UNC when they had their shot in 2017.

Syphilis will do that.
I mean... they kind of have to given that their conference is total dog ****. On the other hand, I wish Cal realized, like Few, that seeding actually matters. Coming to fruition in March doesn't mean a thing unless you are a 1 or a 2.

*Christmas with young kids is such a blur...the build up and then boom, your house is destroyed and you’re on the couch wondering what hit you.
*I need a healthy outlet on my phone to pass time. Maybe a good book or two to download rather than skimming social media garbage. Any suggestions from GYERO would be appreciated, nothing too heavy.
*We are so bad I’m almost in shock. We literally do nothing well, nothing positive anyway. The offense is so void of purpose it mind bottling. Mintz is the only guy I trust.
*I get the idea of potential but I don’t know how NBA GMs look at any of these guys and think anything but “he needs another year in college”. Of course we know how that goes.
*January and February are going to suck. Guess I’ll embrace the suck with a pretty aggressive diet, try to ride my bike more. If I feel like I’m accomplishing something maybe it will ease the pain of our loser basketball team and rona purgatory.

-My twitter reset was pretty successful. Took about a month off. Rather than cleaning up follows I just started over. Have a much healthier group, less political nonsense. Also, left both that and Facebook apps off and now use mobile browser. That works really well, IMO. Mario Kart app is a nice little distraction.
-I'm working on Pappyland right now. He's just such a good writer and obviously obsessed with our state.
-If I'm a bar I'm just taking the curfew fine on the chin NYE, what is it? $250?
-XMas was a blast. Exhausting. But an absolute blast. Nice bright spot in an otherwise awful year. Little dude had a ton of fun and raked.
-FW's schedule excuse is about up. Next 5 is basically the season, imo. Go 0-5 or even 2-3 against these jabronis and you can't ***** about schedule any longer. I'm fine with just burn it all down at this point. It's obviously going to take something monumental for this hardheaded bastard to rethink his strategy.
-I mean... that Louisville team is AWFUL. Good lord. 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2017 beat that team by 30+. The 2010-2014 UL/UK teams and games are embarrassed by that ******** product on both ends. What a disgrace.
-Scored a set of those Norlan glasses. They look great but still taking a bit to adjust to from a glencairn. The size difference feels weird.

Our "strategy", such as it is, has always been "we'll get guys better than your guys and then we'll figure it out." He's not going to play who we think he should, he's not going to recruit who we think he should, etc. Screaming for change is akin to his screaming "GOOOOOO!" We've run the useless weave from 30 feet away for years now. He isn't changing and I assume Tubby is still running ball-line defense with big plans to go up-tempo next year.
We don't have overwhelming talent. Our staff doesn't know what to do in this scenario. We need a coaching staff that can make good players better. The great players don't even need the NCAA at this point.

*Facebook is the creepiest of all the SM platforms. I dropped it in October, erased the app from my phone, now they are texting me directly to remind me to wish random idiots on my friends list a happy birthday. Screw you, FB.
*Prime Rib was a big hit. Sous vide lobster tails... not so much. Expensive mistake, but redeemed by red meat.
*Wife spent too much on bourbons that I am indifferent about. Oh well. She did score a WTForgiven Batch 302 that was a dusty barn find.
*Designing a bar and overall basement renovation. Display all juice and Wildcat stuff in one spot. Of course it will be much more than we can afford, but with kids getting older, we will be able to clear out mountains of toys.
*Some Eagle Scout kid did a project across the street from us where he cleaned up a 30acre woods with walking trails, dirt bike trails and basically created a beautiful park. Bless his heart. Taking my doggie for a nice crisp hike after I answer some emails.
*Cal has the look of Willie Loman

9 deep in 2 hotels as we try to stay close to my mom as she stays in the hospital.
Already 16 emails, 34 texts and 18 phone calls in.
I guess I’ll go sit in the lobby to get caught up on this BS.

For the first time since I moved away from Louisville 20 years ago, I didnt make it home for the holidays. My mother had just recovered from covid, but her husband continues to struggle a bit. Some other family members were quarantined as well. So it was a bit of a bummer of a week.
My wife and I normally dont do many gifts for each other, but she did score me a birthday bourbon which I cracked open Christmas night. Really good stuff- thought it was different than some other previous years that I had tasted, not better or worse- just a little different profile. She also got it at retail, as she knows I refuse to pay anything secondary.
Sous Vide'd a tenderloin yesterday- the end result was really good. But tbh part of what I enjoy about cooking is working the grill/smoker, and actually having to have some bit of skill to make a decent meal. It felt like cheating this way. I'm studying some ways to cold-smoke and add a few steps to at least make me feel like i'm doing something.
Wife got some air pods that I swiped to try out- I really missed the boat on those. Had some other cheaper JBL ones but didnt want to pay for the apple ones bc they will likely end up lost- but they were really nice. Noise cancellation is a luxury, man.
I had been a finalist for a couple of positions over the last few months, one got pulled after my last interview bc funding was pulled bc of budget cuts, and the other went to someone I know and really dislike. I've been doing the same thing for awhile, and the last 9 months has really got me thinking that maybe It would be cool to do something- not so much that I enjoy doing- just something that I dont actively hate doing every day.
I admire the optimism of people screaming about 2020 being finally over!!! I just cant seem to share their positivity considering the state of the world isnt going to be any different for the next year. Covid and whatnot is going to linger, but we're about to see the real impacts of economic issues, and other health-related fallout that we've been putting on the back burner for a year.
Modern high profile coaches have a 10 year window for a certain job. When you go beyond that- its just really rare to have consistent success. Burnout, increasing competition, target on your back, changing culutre, etc... so many factors working against them- it takes someone really investing in adapting, reinventing themselves, and open to changing. We dont have that guy on our sideline. In fact, for a family that literally preaches "Earned, not Given" we gave him way too much without him earning enough.

Good luck Clark. You are still young enough to get out of doing something you hate. Just go for it.
^Hopefully, that's one of the good things that come out of this mess. More people going for it rather than accepting the grind. Fairly certain the jig is up on commuting in hours of traffic everyday to a crowded office space when it can be done remotely or at worse in flex space.
-welcome to middle age, Clark.
-"doing what you love" sounds awesome...until you figure it the risks/what it pays. Not that money is everything...but life/kids are expensive AF.
^love my kids and its mostly very good...but it'd be different if i were childless. Believe that, gang.

FWIW, i'm not talking about a mid life crisis where I quit my job and start crafting my own beer or something- But over the last 15 years- working in higher education has become a chore of working double to achieve less. Probably much like a lot of professions. My job has turned into nothing but a go-between with the department of ed and our legal office. If I could turn my adjunct role into a full time gig- i'd be all in. But those jobs are quickly drying up.
High profile coaches definitely have a ten year shelf life at a job, which is why you see...

Prior to this past March I had commuted to work almost 2 hours roundtrip each day for the last 13 years. It wasn't until I had worked from home for a while that I realized what a toll 10 1/2 hours in an office with a 2 hour commute was taking. I can't see a scenario that I go back to that.
I don't think it's unreasonable or misplaced to think 2021 will be much better than 2020 because:
-Vaccines aren't just on the horizon, they're already here and we're already 2+ weeks into administering them. Soon every week will progressively get better as we vaccinate more people.
-We'll be past the holidays. When the second wave hit in early November, it was easy to write off the last ~7 weeks of the year, cancel schools, etc. because holiday breaks were coming up anyway.
-Hopefully people have had enough, leaders start to listen and it turns around.
If nothing else, we have hope and a light at the end of the tunnel, for the first time in a long time.
Yes, I'm a short-term grump, but I've always been a long-term optimist.

Lol, Cal has a better record over the last 10 years than almost all those guys. Mike Gundy.
Buffoon.
Buffoon.
And it’s just gonna keep getting worse because unfortunately we ain’t seeing any more 38-2 or 35-3 records
My oldest has decided he is all in on the NFL for some reason and - God help him - he has latched on to the Bengals because he is full of hate and shame I guess? I tried to talk him out of it, but to no avail. Please keep us in your thoughts.
The vaccines and the natural “welp holidays are over and it’s a depressing gray hellscape out there so I’m gonna stay home” time of year we’re heading into give me optimism for the spring.
I mean minus our POS basketball program.
this mock draft also gives me hope!
