Didn't you have UNC scoring 82?

.
Seems like I did... My crystal ball has been pretty good lately. Missed the UK/UT football score by 1 point and hit the Baylor win on the nose. Just luck though.

If we should happen to lose, then people will be jumping off cliffs in regards to this season.

Thinning the herd.

Kentucky will be no higher than a 3 seed and possible as low as a 6 come tourney time. Still have to play Louseyville and Florida (and Belmont ) and the SEC tourney. Tennessee won't be an easy game either. Can see at least 2-3 more L's the rest of the season.

I haven't seen UK (or any team for that matter) play but it's not surprising this group is struggling to play as a team given all the comments those kids were making over the spring and summer. I think they still have the talent to turn it around but perhaps not the maturity right now.

I think people, and not just UK fans, need to realize what a special group that 2011-12 team was to play together as freshman and win a national championship. I'm sure Calipari does.

The answer to the question of where Roy dines when he comes to Wilson. He and Hubie were in town Wed. to check out Kinston junior Brandon Ingram (No. 13 overall in '15).

I was told that Roy was besieged with photo requests at halftime and took it all in stride but seemed a little perturbed. It was like the gold truck coming to Mayberry, a scenario I envisioned when I dropped the tidbit in the paper the day before that he and Hubert were coming to watch Ingram and Kinston play one of our county high schools.

*WHO* won the recruiting title ? Whose recruiting title is that...exactly?

Wrong Cats, sir.

Go away troll.

UK and KU both need strong point guards. It will sink them because it's the hardest thing to get in place.

Teague wasn't ready at this point in his career. Knight was also struggling but he was clutch at end game situations already.

Roy may have stopped at Parker's, but he doesn't have that swill delivered to Chapel Hill. He had Wilber's the day after he was hired. He had Dickie Baddour call Wilber that morning. Phil (Dickie's older brother and former majority leader of the state house) and WIlber went to Chapel Hill to deliver the catering for lunch, and Wilber is a huge State fan...

I guess I just hate the Harrison twins (even the one who does play smart some of the time). That's probably keeping me so down on the prospects of this squad.

you are right that our fortunes are tied to them and they aren't playing at the level they need to.

Gary Parrish compares UK's schedule to tOSU's

“Let UK spend the first five weeks playing that schedule, and my guess is the Wildcats would be undefeated right now and still ranked No. 1, and isn’t that kinda wild to consider? It doesn’t mean Kentucky would actually be any better as a team than it is at this moment. But the perception of the Wildcats would be drastically different… Kentucky’s struggles are somewhat schedule-induced.”

So I drop by the Xmas party Hedge, his GILF and his parents are throwing Friday at his and the GILF's pad. I was working so I was just going to make a 30-40 min. appearance, grab some food and head back to work. I didn't get any instructions and didn't do the math, so I just showed up wearing a plaid button down and jeans with my Black Dot tan coat.

I was shown to the front door by his dad, posted sentry-like in the driveway with a flashlight so no one would trip over the pine roots bubbling up the asphalt. I walked in and was greeted with the sight of wall-to-wall codgers, babbling merrily and drinking like fish. There must have been 30 people packed into the foyer, landing by the stairs and the front parlor (it's an old house with loads of antiques and architectural quirks) and the median age was around 78. Of course, they were all dressed to the nines, short of it being a black tie affair, so standing there in my Levis all I got were glances that suggested they thought I was some type of delivery man.

Hedge, meanwhile, was holding forth by the door, nattily dressed in a velvet or velour blazer with a bowtie while sweatily chatting with an octagenarian couple like an edited scene from "Steel Magnolias" (in which, incidentally, his mom portrayed Weezer in the local playhouse production of same).

It was as if everything Crow believed about Hedge had come to be right at that moment. I wish I had just pulled out my phone and started taking photos.

I realized I wasn't going to make it 10 feet into that mess so I hugged the GILF and his mom and headed back out to chat with his dad, still maintaining his post, before going back to work.

Later, Hedge told me 2 of the 3 kegs he had bought were stolen off the back patio, presumably by some high schoolers who were there with their parents. I say he should bring eCat in as a consultant in the recovery process.

BOUT FUCKING TIME!!!! Can anyone else take over this place who knows what they are doing?

The kegs were returned, still half full...

This website was returned, sadly still half full.

The 30 for 30 on Maurice Clarett is an inspiring story.

I never knew his football career was ended because he was an alcoholic.

Tressel threw him under the bus.

I've seen two instances in the past week where Jim Brown fucked shit up for people.

Both Richard Pryor and Clarett had him involved in their lives and his racial views cost both of them.
