* Great article on KSR by Jack Pilgrim.

link: 2021-22 basketball roster

I really hope our enthusiasm for a more guard/perimeter-oriented approach is mirrored by Cal's ability and desire to execute it, but I'm still taking a wait-and-see approach. He's just never been that guy at UK. One thing is certain -- our front line is very weak by our standards, so there doesn't seem to be much of a choice, imo. Play to the team's strengths, Cal.

* Over the years I've become a horrible car passenger. I'm not a great driver or anything, and my lass isn't a bad one, but gd if I don't nearly have a panic attack when I'm riding shotgun. Hit the interstate and I literally have to close my eyes and act like I'm taking a nap. Around town I'll slam my foot on the floorboard as if somehow I can make the car brake.

Kinda concerning? Prolly.

* <-- unapologetic James Taylor fan. Very small percentage of my listening, but I feel strongly we all need a little super light emo rock in our lives.

* Question for diehard GYERO golf fans about the Eli Barron -- was Theshowkilla sandbagging on Saturday?

** SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY **

* Got a short but stern lecture this weekend for not using a chip clip, which evidently completely seals a bag and renders it 100% airtight, as opposed to a simple multiple fold over. Won't make that mistake again, for sure.

* Heading westward on Friday.

- 2 days in Santa Fe
- 2 days in Crested Butte, CO
- 5 days in Leadville/Silverthorne/etc

* Some top Olympic moments.....

- molly seidel winning bronze (only the 3rd women's marathon medal ever for an american)
- the home watch parties, followed by interviewers pulling the surprise "hey, your family is on zoom RIGHT NOW..." stunt.
- gabby thomas and sydney mclaughlin, who are now my two favorite ebony women
- simone biles being the ultimate fangirl. i'll never understand what all went down with her, but she seemed to become the heart and soul of the team from the sidelines.
- paul chelimo falling across the finish line to pick up a bronze in the 5k.

* I mean, we're over a year and a half into this, and people still think putting a piece of dirty t-shirt over your face prevents the spread of a deadly infectious disease. Lord. Have. Mercy.

* The biggest teachers union in the country won't support mandatory vaccinations. Man, I can't even.

What a stupid hypocritical organization.

link: AFT

* Christina Applegate announces she's got MS. Wow, she has held up REALLY well over the years.

::nodding::

Now that we beat the CCP in gold medals, I'll say this -- it is BS that they were even allowed to compete in the Olympics while openly lying about COVID. If the Olympic Committee had a pair, it would have made Beijing's participation contingent on full cooperation with an open COVID investigation.

But Russia was allowed to compete as ROC because they were disqualified for cheating, so that is par for the course.

Playball's Olympic take is the worst take in GYERO history. The Olympics are awesome.

- Of all the places we visited on vacation, Santa Fe is absolutely the place that I'd revisit first. We only spent about 16 hours there, but it was amazing. Stayed at La Fonda, a 100-year-old hotel down on the plaza. Loved everything about the town...the galleries, the food, the architecture, all of it. Big fan.

- I am now "yelling at a random kid in Walmart" years old after last night. The Nicholasville Road location was overrun with families trying to do back-to-school shopping. What a madhouse. Kids running everywhere, parents not paying attention, etc. Was with my dad, who is 77, has Parkinson's, and is now walking gingerly with a cane, and a teenage girl was sprinting through the aisles while trying to hide (I guess) from siblings. Nearly knocked my dad over, so I yelled at her. Felt good, to be honest.

- Was at Walmart to get him a new printer. Can't think of a single "simple" technological task that causes more headaches than setting up a new printer.

- Guessing Kerr is the obvious replacement for Pop with USAB. League guy, experience on Pop's bench, has juggled multiple stars on the same roster, seems to be well-liked by players.

- Loved the "watch parties" NBC showed during Olympic events. Didn't love their attempts to have the athletes talk to the folks back home. Always seemed to be tech issues, and most of the interactions just seemed awkward. I'm guessing the athletes preferred to let the moment sink in and then talk to family/friends back home off-camera. Still, those watch party clips were awesome.

- Most worthless part of any Olympics...the closing ceremony. Just show two hours of highlights, with a few interviews mixed in. Show us special moments we may have missed. Then do a quick preview of what the next city has to offer. That's all we need.

-Chatted on the phone with long time poster @B Rax yesterday about everyone's favorite current hot topic, youth baseball. Sometime you can just tell a dude is solid over a phone call. B Rax is a solid dude.

-Woodford County, you know, the greatest country in the Commonwealth is allowing parents in the school system to decide if their children need to mask up or not. Having an ice cream social with the Huber boys and their respected new teachers and classmates before school starts on Thursday. For those who wear masks, how are they going to eat their ice cream? Inquiring minds want to know.

-Got phat *** seats to see the Cubs play at Great American next Monday. Because we watch so many games on the MLB package, normally at Cubs games for us in person feels like you're watching a team of old friends. Because of the kids practices and pretty much giving up any hope on the year, we haven't been watching as many games, so Monday will feel like a blind date. "Who is that guy where Javy played?" "Whos that guy pitching? I've never heard of him." "Why is Heyward the highest paid player left on the team and he's sitting again?" Major League Baseball has become all too real for boys as they are understanding that its a business and not a game at a very young age. Honestly the team getting gutted has taken some of the Cubbie sparkle out of their eyes. When we would get home the first thing they would do is look for the Cubs game on tv..... but now..........

Me: "Boys you want to turn on the Cubs game? They are playing the Sox."

Boys: "I guess if nothing else is on. Can you see if American Ninja Warrior is on first?"

-What a difference new clubs make. Went from Taylormade SpeedBlade Irons to the Sim 2 Max Irons. Not only hugely more forgiving, but having to totally relearn distances as some clubs have gone up 15-20 yards.

Same thing with the woods, going from Taylormade JetSpeed Driver to the Ping G425 Max and lord, averaged an extra 30+ yards in the simulator and again way more forgiving for a hacker like myself. Obviously crappy golfers have crappy swings and clubs can only do so much, but these things have shaved many a stroke off my game in the 3-4 times I've played with them.

-School going back this week. Seriously, where did the summer go?

-My wife has been abnormally nice lately. Makes me wonder what she did. Which one of you posters is going around and bopping married women again? I have several ARs with thermal scopes, so stay away pimp daddy.

-the fact that china isn't blackballed by the international community shows how ****** we are. The world's leading polluter/environmental hazard. They have concentration camps filled with ethnic minorities, it's 2021. Idk, cheap sneakers/laptops or whatever. Our leaders are whores...and we don't care, apparently...so long as no one yells a word that sounds slightly like another word in a public place. The US populace as a whole is lazy and stupid, we're cutting our own throats in exchange for the appearance of righteousness and cheap TV's.

-go cats.

The frontcourt is very weak? We're 6 deep in the frontcourt, all but one are top 50 recruits or higher. I think we have the potential to have a top 5 frontcourt in the country, definitely top 10. F the wait and see approach. I'm all in with this squad.

We may lack the highest end talent, but more than make up for it in experience. We’ll start two juniors who were ballyhooed Top 25 recruits.

Our top pro prospect may be our 4th/5th big.

Day before the 1st day of school with Krazy:

mind you this is just 1 day.

- decided not to try HVAC on my own(with help) as we would have been going across plumb lines and electric. So we just finished what little drywall we could.

- gave my wife 6 things we absolutely HAD to have done and by the time I took my boys to karate only 1 was done, at 530pm.

- So after karate I take the guys to get hair cuts and grab a few outfits to get thru the week since NONE of their clothes showed up in time.

- Get home, cookout, and realize my wife still only has 1 item checked off the to do list.

- Then our almost 2 year old finds a blood pressure pill my stepdad has apparently dropped. Quickly grab him and it out of his mouth, but about 30 minutes late he becomes lethargic, pale and starts babbling night night at 9:15(which he goes to bed around 11).

- I offer to do the list and let her take of kid #999 but she refuses. Ok fine I lay with him watching Mickey Mouse. After a little bit she comes in to tell me another thing is checked off...........BUT see’s the little fella nodding off and panicked screaming at me not to let him sleep!

grabs blood pressure thing and a heart beat checking thing, realizes he is alive and starts researching, and basically he is doing normal stuff for an infant who has any BP dose in his system. Then she gives him purple kool aid(55% less sugar per the pkg) and then gets back to it.

- BARF right on old dad in our bed all over our pillows and comforter.........and it’s f’ing purple!

So I deal with it, without being a jerk, at least I thought.

- As I’m finishing she comes in to tell me the kids are about to shower and go to bed by 10(on time in our house) as well as another item complete..............except I’m changing the bed wrong and if anything is getting done she has to do it her damn self and that’s why she can’t ever get anything done ............scream yell scream yell I quit listening and go grab a beer.

- finally she is done and I’m on beer 2, to which she rolls her eyes as she walks out and I remind her that her list is the one incomplete therefore straighten them eyes out and hop to it.

- Around 1130 I’m ready to crash and I’ll be damned if this little dude doesn’t get a HUGE burst of energy after the wife runs to the store for a few little things to be done with lunches and packing backpacks with supplies.

around 1am she makes it back and I’m too tired to be pissed, but happy I’m about to get 4-5 hours of sleep, sike!

- She proceeds to do god knows what on the other side of that door ALL night as my little man wakes up every 20-30 minutes the rest of the night. Eventually my 630 alarm goes off and she walks in to let me know she is about to wake everyone up, get them ready and TAKE them to school.

- 7am and my phone is going nuts and my house is a zoo so I can’t really answer. By 9am when all is said and done, I’m finally looking at leaving the house dead tired and behind and realize we haven’t done our thing and ask for a rain check!

Jesus you’d think I just told a crack head I was out of crack! Which leads to our oldest 2 calling us telling us the high school for some reason has no record of them being students anymore despite the nephew being on football and wrestling teams and the niece being in a few academic groups!

- head over to fix that so she can go to bed finally and the office lady knows me(not a good thing) and mentions I look like hell.........K let’s fix this mess so I can get to work..........we’ll sir you need paperwork to do anything for these kids and this paperwork you say is from the court only mentions a last name and not you specifically!

Me: Look, been a rough night how about these kids that are sophomore and junior go to class, like the opposite of cutting, and we figure it out later when I can get a judge or court to assist.

Her: I don’t think that’s going to work for us.

Me: so do they need to go home?........in walks the principal who I also know.......

Him: Sorry Mr Krazy, look how about we allow this paperwork to cover because obviously all they need to do is mention your first name and we’re good.

Me: thanks! See ya later! (And you know what’s in the back of my mind at this point)

- Finally 10:45 and I’m at work however my job in North Carolina messed up a whole wall worth of metal studs, my first of 6 house starts didn’t get their steel beams so all the lumber is there for no reason, another builder needs his credits(management issues) from last week, and 4 guys need bids for final pricing lock since lumber is going down.

Happy Tuesday, I’m heading to the distillery to drink right out of the barrel. F this nonsense!

That is some rather odd formatting. Typically a bullet would indicate a new subject(or random) but you just used them in the middle of thoughts, sentences and with no rational meaning. Get some rest, pal.

Also, Huber said "phat." 🤣


Clean it up, team.

I like the Clay Travis theory - he resigned and now has time to be "reformed" in time for his 2022 re-election.

Apparently his polling numbers(as of last week) are still way ahead of his next closest challenger.
