"I messed up an accidentally put diesel in my buddy's boat" would have sufficed.

My worst touch up was reading Rogue's post.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

My next 4 weekends:

Key West --> Destin --> San Diego --> New York City.



Face it, I'm just seasonally employed at the moment. Crushing it, too.

 

[cawoodsct]

Too long to read but thanks for the cliffs notes fellas.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Rogue's posts read like a song written by a band that opens for a Jimmy Buffet cover band.

I once tried to put Deisel into my ex-wife's car because I had pulled up to the wrong pump. Turns out that the Deisel nozzle is larger than the regular gas fuel nozzles, I'm assuming for just such an occasion. Glad I wasn't filling up her boat, I would have never heard the end of that.

Just big enough for a ping pong ball to squeeze through.

Is this a sexual metaphor? Cause that's how I'm reading it.

Seeing the word 'mate' that many times makes me uncomfortable.

After he declined payback in cash the next thought was to give him Publix gift cards? [laughing]

One day rogue will tell that story to his grandchildren and they will immediately put him in assisted living.

B Slice seems to have found his footing over at KSR. He and shitbag really needed to stick around here. What could have been, and whatnot.

Also finishing up The Noticer. I'm not huge on self reflection type books for the most part, mainly because a lot of these Andy Andrews books have been "recommended reading" for work- but this one is pretty decent. Finished re-reading Missoula, which is a scary one for all you parents with kids on the verge of college, especially those with daughters.

So Shaka is really gonna steal Bamba? Or is this the classic "Cal has him, then loses him close to the commitment time, then Cal gets him at the last minute?"

Did the Chef's table at Commanders Palace with a group on a work trip, compliments of a company after our business. Have wanted to go back for a couple years but the few times ive been back to New Orleans, reservations and nice dinners weren't really in the cards.

 

[mashburned]

Bought $500 in publix guft cards to him...negative.

Correct

 

[legalbeagle123]

Eddie Vedder last man standing.

Bamba to Texas is gaining steam but it's mostly the Duke guys who are switching from Duke to Texas. I don't think anyone who's predicted Kentucky for a while has switched to Texas yet.

 

[BBdK]

Chad doesn't know **** about food, he's filling in for somebody.

 

[UKStoleMyFish]

Looking forward to watching the Kentucky baseball Wildcats play the Florida baseball Gators on the TV tonight, with a possible SEC title at stake.

Hope that's OK.

There was this one time I "accidently" tried to PIIHB and the results were pretty much the same.

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

I refuse to believe Bamba will choose to play for Texas over a dream fulfiller

 

[cricket3]

Well sh*t

For a guy who was apparently really smart and considering Harvard in the beginning he sure is dumb.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

WELP.

 

[MrKentucky]

Whatever. Let him go to Texas and go 20-12 and lose in the first four as a 12 seed, have his peak be an upset over Kansas at home or whatever. Let's go f*ck some **** up.

 

[anthonys735]

Makes having 6 Forward/Centers a little less complicated. Sucks though. Diallo back would be nice.

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

MOP of the 2018 NIT.

At least he didn't choose Duke.

I hope Bamba enjoys taking tech classes and building robots and playing with Raspberry Pi and s*** in anonymity. I hope when he gets to Texas he takes a selfie next to the Kevin Durant statue that doesn't exist.

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Choosing Texas over UK, Duke, etc. is dumb. Just dumb. Not even defensible imo.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Shame Durant never reached his potential.

 

[Bonzo_Cat]

Can think of worse places than Austin for a sure-fire lotto pick to hang out and have his d**k sucked for a year. That city is awesome, and it doesn't matter one bit what he does on the court next year short of injury, he's going top 5.

What I'm say is - basketball, enjoy the ride.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

LaMarcus Aldridge and Avery Bradley have struggled in the NBA as well.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

He'd have reached it anywhere and so will Bamba. No one is saying he won't still be a top 3 pick. But if you know you're a one-and-done, there's really no reason to go anywhere that can't win a title. You're building a brand, you're trying to set a legacy in a single year. Here's the list of one-and-done players in the last twenty years who have a legacy built at their college: Melo, Wall, Davis. Two titles and one guy who kickstarted an empire. Many of the rest of them have reached their potential, had great careers, etc., but college fans don't really care or remember where they went.

 

[UKStoleMyFish]

I could not conceivably care less about Bamba "realizing his potential." That's mostly up to him. I do care about UK winning national titles. This makes that less likely.

In the past 60 years, Kentucky has won one national championship when it wasn't the preseason #1 or #2 team in the country.

Those things are damn hard to come by.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Meanwhile, Coach K has won 5 Championships, 2 in seasons in which Kentucky was the favorite.

 

[BBdK]

Bamba is a top 5 pick no matter where he goes if he's as good as advertised -- Texas has the #2 roster in the NBA.

...Jarrett Allen is a lock mid 1st rounder, and he played for the worst Texas team in forever.

 

[cricket3]

This years top 5 players:

Missouri
Texas
Arizona
Alabama
Western Kentucky

[laughing]

Huh? First, there is a difference between being a one and done player and being a sure-fire top 3 pick regardless of the circumstance. Its not like Bamba is a fringe 1st rounder and coming to UK would help his stock.

And you can't find two Texas fans who can name five UT alum in the NBA outside of Austin.

What's your point? Did you read my post? This isn't about his draft stock. That's not changing regardless of where he goes. That's not why picking Texas is stupid.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Myles Turner
LaMarcus Aldridge
Kevin Durant
DJ Augustin
Avery Bradley

vs.

DeMarcus Cousins
Anthony Davis
Karl Anthony-Towns
Eric Bledsoe
John Wall

Pretty competitive game tbh, though we are much stronger on the bench.
