* Low hanging fruit. Also very proud of Jerr-Bear. I sure as hell can't make the leap. I also love his naked bathroom mirror selfies.

* Expense reports are specifically designed to make it a pain in the *** to fill out an expense report.

* Been running a lot less, and doing a lot more cross-training (yoga/trx/spin). Running better and healthier than I have in a long time. Knocked out 31 on Saturday and a 16-mile race Sunday, both of which were actually pretty easy.

* "Barron Trump will be the first homeschool shooter." :joy::joy:

Quit being all grouchy, people. That s*** is funny.

* What a huge, huge game on Saturday.

* The term "white privilege" is awful. Every good parent should bust their *** in order to make their kids lives as easy as possible. Zero apologies. For those of us who have been fortunate to be put in such great circumstances, a little humility and appreciation is nice. But you should apologize for nothing.

* Jerry --> my last overnight guest was 25, for the record. #winning

I too wish Cal would use a defense he is terrible at coaching.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

- Humphries gave us maybe his best performance all year on Sat night. Maybe not by his #'s but to the naked eye he played well. Had a nice tip in, rebounded well and for whatever reason didn't look
his usual step too slow and get abused on D.

- Encouraging to see Monk find his way to the rack and get good shoots. 27 points on 14 shots... Efficient.

- John Rothstein seems like a good dude and is a Cal guy. His tweets are uber redundant, his player comps crack me up and his ability to come up cheesy catch phrases crack me up. PALABLE BUZZ.

KenPom has a feature to let you look at just the data from the conference games. Using that filter we are shooting 41.4% from 3. That's tops in the SEC for conference games only.

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

If you take out Fox's 3-point shooting, we are bombing at a crisp 87.2%.

He's actually a good sport on Twitter when you joke about his overuse of that phrase. #StayHumbleStayHongry

Not sure who kept doing it way back when, but those photoshops of Joker with a heater in his hand/lips were hilarious. SAE always got so offended by them, too, which made them more hilarious for some reason.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Fox is just so friggin good. Everything. He makes his teammates better & things easier for them, he's an unreal passer(feel for the game), great on the ball defender (some say the best in the country), maybe one of the best finishers I've seen at UK, etc.

Get that it's subjective but it's not out of the question to say he's the best point guard to put on the uniform.

I absolutely love the kid, too.

But I think his defense has actually left a lot to be desired recently. He has given up a lot of easy straight line drives in recent games.

FALSE.

Humana-Aetna merger blocked, for those of you scoring at home.

What does this mean?? No f'ing clue, quite frankly.

[anthonys735]

Fox picks his guy up at 1/2 court and cheats for steals a lot. Wish he'd settle back, use that length and keep his dude in front.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Think some of you are discounting his defense because our overall team defense leaves a lot to be desired for. He's disruptive as ish and irritates whomever he's checking without fouling all that often.

No - he's been pretty crappy on the ball, actually. Not that great at dealing with screens, either.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Starting to wonder if Cal has instructed our guards some to not foul on another team's breakaway and let them score if need be. Almost like he's taking a Roy approach that if he we get more possessions you can't score more than us. Who knows. Seen it too many times this season.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

The switching vs go under/go over dilemma has been a problem all year. Agree with that.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

The 100% switching all day is infuriating especially when we go to the bench.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Don't be mean.

 

[UKwizard]

I mean don't risk the and one I guess but I was furious when Briscoe didn't foul she **** out of them on the breakaways. Cal's teams have been known not to give up easy looks and that is all this team seems to do.

Surprised no one mentioned the ginger with a mohawk on USC. Don't see that like ever.

 

[wcc31]

-You all realize the irony of Chad's white privilege rant is that not only did his fiance attend a snooty boarding school up East, but Chad himself attended a private Catholic school that costs about $6600 per year to attend. Chad knows nothing about white privilege going to private school his entire life, he got to where he is in life the hard way!!!!!!. :joy:

-The most ignorant thing a person can do is rip on someone for having parents that want the best for them and try to provide it. Total dipship douchebag move, Chad. My motivation every single day of my life when I wake up is to go to work so I can provide everything my daughter could ever want in life. And if you have kids you'll do the same. I dont think you will be picking out the worst schools in the area to send your kid to, so he doesnt fall under the white privilege label. God what a douchebag.

Really thought the white privilege stuff was thick enough that you idiots would know I was F'ing with Richie.

NewCath, a school of blue collar ethnics, was less than $2,000/year when I was there.

Every UK player has sucked as long as Geese has been watching the Cats.

 

[wcc31]

I have seen Jerry ZERO times since he became a teatotaler. He told me our relationship wouldn't change. He's a liar.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

I'll give wcc a break because he's my friend and a good person. Ashley Judd tho...what a ******* lunatic.

Marching and protesting are completely justifiable and more power to em. I just don't understand trying to be loudly disgusting. Offending people with bloody tampons seems to be a strange approach to this.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

What Judd said about Ivanka was totally disgusting and dispicable.

 

[Wrong]

Some would say it's Nasty

 

[wcc31]

When you're a rich celebrity, it's probably pretty easy to completely lose perspective.

 

[sinker16]

That ***** can't possibly come back to Rupp now can she?

 

[anthonys735]

-Of course she can. Why on earth would anyone care if she cheers for UK and is a wacko? Don't be ridiculous.

-Duke's 2nd half a fraud or them figuring it out? They looked LONG!! Still not sure they can string together 12 of those to win a title.

-Isaac, XRM and Bacon. What a trio.

-Don't know how Cal does it but if he can pull Bamba... watch out. Shew. Loaded.

-What kind of PEDs was Trier on? Anyone clarified that weird *** situation?

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

"I expect UK fans to have a reasoned and non-partisan response to Ashley Judd when she returns to Rupp," said no one.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Personally, I'm Team Steve Zahn when it comes to celebrity UK fans. That guy GETS IT.

Been doing this at least since Harrison twins.

 

[wcc31]

Am I the only one concerned about tomorrow's trap game?

 

[GrandePdre]

When crazy liberals harass Ivanka and her family on a plane, crazy conservatives will take license to harass Ashley at a UK basketball game.

To hell with all the crazies, both sides.

Here's a great long read article by Tommy Tomlinson (the SI guy who did the Lorenzen piece) on the guy who has become renowned for the theater he puts on in Harlan.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Agree 100% with Steve Masiello about millennials being unable to deal with adversity and whatnot. When I think of the incredible hardships and struggles that guy dealt with at their age it brings a tear to my eye.

 

[anthonys735]

-Losing last year at UT is helping those concerns and this team really hasn't shown the mental lapses last years did. What weird loss. I left the office with a 20 point lead and by the time I got home we were down to just a couple points. Probably cost a seeding line.

Trap gon jump mane don't worry

You said 'on the ball defender'. A lot of our defensive ills start and end with him, plain and simple. I love the kid but it's a glaring issue.

The simple fact is he has trouble staying in front of his guy. It's hard to call someone the best in the country, despite all his natural gifts, when he has difficulty staying between his man and the basket. Dude gives up wayyy too many straight line drives to the hoop.

He gets a lot of flashy steals and deflections by gambling and playing passing lanes but the book is out. Beat him driving at his hips. He'll yield and shy away from the contact, compromising the D and leading to easy buckets or open shots. You already mentioned he makes a concentrated effort to avoid foul trouble -- I think that hurts us at times when it comes to a defensive mindset and with a will to 'get stops'.
