Lots of stories from that week. I have no idea which one Matt always talks about. Could be about 1 of 10 that I wouldn't feel comfortable posting on a UK message board. I also believe you'd be disappointed in most of them. Unless I just didn't know about it, unlikely since we were right there all 8 days, nothing really crazy crazy happened. At this point it's likely become way overblown.

Swannigan is going down as a Top 2-3 Calipari recruiting miss. Wouldn've turned two teams into title-level squads.

That miss is a little easier to swallow, when you know Swannigan was Purdue's version of the Blind Side. Adopted by a huge Purdue booster followed by the whole NCAA probe.

Didn't he de-commit from Michigan State because he found out they weren't offering him a private chef?

I thought star Purdue PF Caleb Swanigan was white for the longest time. Cal probably did too, and that's why we have fn Wenyen, Tai, I-Zak, etc.

I mean, as someone who's been through it 3 times myself I get the miracle of childbirth and yes it's amazing but if Kyle Tucker is going to bring the same myopic, self-centered "NOBODY HAS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE AND YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE" to fatherhood that he brings to being a sportswriter then you can count me out.

Would love Spake back but I doubt ESPN can afford her the way they are losing money.

On the bright side, Jimmy Dykes is available again.

"This year's UK-WVU 'War on I-64' is brought to you by Skoal. 'Skoal - It's Hip to Dip.' Also by T-shirts with the Sleeves Cut Off, who want you to know that 'Sleeves Are for ******.' "


[roll] -- > that's the funniest damn thing I've seen in a month -- and I've seen some pretty funny staff this past month

come to think about it .... funny **** seems to follow me around......

-NBA Draft is stupid sometimes. I like him a lot, but Robert Williams has been 'drafted' (Tyus Thomas, Stromile Swift, etc, etc) about 30x in the lottery in the past 10-15 years, and usually from the SEC (West), ...only a few have worked out, at least relative to their pick.

Meanwhile a guy like Caleb Swanigan is putting up historic #s in the Big 10, a legit POY candidate on a good team, can shoot it, and isn't even in the 1st Rd on some mocks.


Along similar lines, is there any doubt at all Josh Hart falls to the Spurs at the end of the 1st?

don't get me wrong -- it's nice to beat a conference team and know that it MATTERS TO THEM (past just 'beating uk' - they actually have some type of care for the sport on other days)

BUT --- that **** aint right
They're not in the right geographical area - there's just no damn SENSE to it......

When I was a kid they added the dam Seahawks and Buccaneers -- somewhere in the early 90's I came to terms with them being "real BFL teams"

NOW WE PLAY GAMES IN F'ING LONDON AND MEXICO CITTY
and wear PINK every F;ing October -- for EVERY GAME
and the AMONT OF PINK IS EXPANDING

I know this from watching some Steeler replays on NFL.com
because the international sites I was using for years NOW just shows a f'ing Dept Homeland Security seal when you go there......

So stop the damn, realignment for Gods sake -- remember when the WAC was like ... 16 teams? I think they had 4 divisions and teams from Texas to Hawaii --- I think they all SUCKED TOO.....

screw that -- but we can't just push for 3 teams to leave,....it has to be an even # or someone else comes in......who else get's the AXE?

I'm thinking Miss St


damn - there goes the beer alarm......(I have to set one or else I might have another "Miller Chernobyl" in the freezer....)

I mean, at least Mizzou was spose' to bring a credible basketball program to enjoy playing against and a suckass football program to enjoy playing against...and neither really happened.

sometimes games require a fairly complex amount of evaluation to assess how they'll develop

sometimes there's a very non-scientific occurrence of "intangibles" that just lead you to a gut feeling

tomorrow's game against the Texas team is the latter for me
I think EVERY game we've had against them has been close right?

Tomorrow -- we rape them

Texas A&M is a bunch of weirds. That whole yell leader thing...you can't tell me those guys don't each have one suit made out of another person.
Can confirm:
If you "stadium-heads" haven't checked out the new Kyle field, you should: http://kylefield.com/

The plaza on the end of the stadium is a Reveille graveyard.

It faces a $450k video board on the outside of the stadium, so the dogs can see them score.

Those dudes are actually extremely uncomfortable. First experience with them last year at SECT. Just awkward. I take it back, because of the male cheerleaders I would kick them out.

every now and then I hear another guitar player do something that I just didn't expect. wouldn't have thought of myself and I'm driven to stop and cherish that moment -- then play my strat for 3-4 hours and what not

your words just did that to me in a mental way

normally....I don't like being mentally touched without anticipating it

but I that **** was dark, funny, really .....weird....but hammered home the point like John Henry on PCP



this is turning into a wonderful night -- I have other things to share -- but am going into another area of the estate here in middle GA to "drink the alcohol" and draft some additional scope control / legal limits on the RFP I'm about to sign with this Chinese steel company.......

AH!!!
BEER ALARM!!!!!!!!

Pretty shocked a lumber salesman would forget an order worth $19.

I haven't forgotten filling a 6K order in two hours before!

I was thoroughly impressed by my guys that day to get it done so quick, but I haven't heard from the guy we did it for since.

I guess he was mad we don't sell ladders!

I haven't had any big lumber orders since. And unlike bbdk, when I need ( 8) 2x4's, I go pick them up.

Hey Wyvern, first time long time here, any thoughts on pergolas?

it's pretty damn surreal that you ask
I read that reference to the TV and Pergola.......not wait........maybe it was a gazebo?
ok =- I'll finish that thought and go back and fact check BUT HERES WHAT ERECTED IN MY HEAD WHEN UOPI ASKED ME THAT

1) I'll that damn pergola/gazebo .... with the TV...is a wonderful little spot at night when the weather's right....you have a nice drink in your hand and .... whatnot.....

2) I'll bet that person (can't f'ing remember WHO it was -- will go back and check cause )...I'll bet that person gets some nice quality time in that spot

3) A good / peaceful spot matters --

I read that post and started to respond to that person cause my head was just filled with nice things when I read it

then the beer alarm went off and I forgot who posted it
I finished an article on my Blog and ate a garlic knot and then walked in to tell Brandi that Valerie Jarrett should be SHOT before a firing squad.......and.....then I came here to read GYERO ..... in my Jeff Snegegar underwear as always
