i hate it but i'm uncontrollably drawn to it
That time again. This Monday at 7:30pm is hopefully my last Blue / White championship game. The beer is cheap and it should be fun. For example, I've been paying $2 for a Smithwicks up there of late. Anyways, come on out. I'll score a hat trick for you mother fuckers.

WE tocking out for Wes' B-day this weekend?
that is rocking out.
brent, rory and josh are in for monday fun-day.
didn't we run this play in flag football?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMdIHuzJRbwwarning: no sound so don't crank it up. the idiot who edited the video cut the audio out but left a loud as noise in the middle if you do try that
Did we ever actually run it, or just talk about it? As we see though, the hand grenade would have worked.
When is Wes' birthday? 11/22? Let's get a keg Wed before thanksgiving and go mullet hunting at the hill. The question will probably be, are we rocking out with or without Wes for his birthday?
Or we're just going to be old and boring, and let it pass without much ado. But here's an early happy birthday wes since I will probably forget later on.
Debate at work with Brian Guinn, if you were to pick a Nebraska QB would it be Eric Crouch or Tommie Frazier? I was pushing Frazier he was going Heisman winner Crouch.
If Monday Fun Day is the hockey game, count Laura and me as probable. I am treating this as an NFL injury report.
11/21 It is this Saturday.
Frazier. That dude could run like a freakin' deer. Florida still has nightmares of him.But if we can have anybody from Nebraska's team I want the felon Philips.
BG also wanted Thunder Collins with Eric Crouch. I immediately dismissed that statement and said I would take Lawrence Phillips and Tommie Frazier together any day.
Yeah Phillips is the trump card....by far.
So the UK/UofL game will be interesting. UofL likes to shoot the 3, UK doesn't like to guard the 3.
I was going to comment on that. People here are complaining about teams coming in to Rupp and have their best shooting games. The Miami game and the 2nd half of the SMU game that I watched, every 3 that was made was uncontested. I'd hope that D-I players can hit a large percent of wide open shots.
it definitely wasn't every 3, they hit some unreal shots, one 3 yesterday the guy double pumped in the air with i think bledsoe in his face and still made it, several of the uncontested 3's were a good 3-5 feet behind the line, past NBA range, they just shot before anyone could get there. don't misunderstand, they definitely need to work on it, and they did leave too many uncontested, but it wasn't like they weren't hitting some crazy shots either. more often than not, if a team comes in and just plans to beat UK by shooting 3's every trip down the court, they're going to lose. what has been encouraging is that they're not letting anyone get down low on them much. they're definitely a work in progress though
rider this weekend is supposed to be a better shooting team than sam houston state
I won't say much until we get past E. TN St., Appalachian state and Morgan State.
damn it, georgia's mascot died so they're gonna win one for him now:http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/...og-mascot,-dies

hey joe - rory, brent and josh are gonna be at the hockey game. you and laura should head up. people have missed her and would get a kick out of seeing her.
It would be a real hoot if she showed up Joe.
In line at lunch today:Guy I work with: "Really, skinny jeans and boots?"Random chick around us: "You talking to me?"Guy: "yeah, way to be original and show your individuality, you cunt."(insert awkward looks and silence)
Dude, I would suggest not going to lunch with that guy anymore. What an asshole.
Brent, were you that guy?
As long as you're not eating at your office for fear of a sexual harassment lawsuit, you should eat with that guy every day. You'll end up with some great stories, if not a lunch time fight.
For what it's worth, I'd err on the side of stories and fights.
We were on main street about 5 blocks from our office with no other employees in sight. He is like 32, married, 2 kids and lives in Frankfort so he has lost his will to live. Always entertaining.
just heard rumor liggins and dodson aren't playing right now b/c of failed drug test, no idea if that's true or not
Krags would have kicked them off the team because he does things the right way.
ha, we know petrino wouldn't have. it came from a UL message board so it's probably not very legitimate, but thought it was interesting, and if it's true i could understand why cal's keeping quiet about it
Dodson looked like one of the better 3 point shooters so far in his limited action.
heard the same thing, but i heard it from someone related to vandy
I heard the same thing, except I heard it on the UK site.Who knows?
anyone see the D.E.N.N.I.S. system last night on always sunny? Highly recommended.
I just got pissed off.So I was thinking about Chris's idea of getting a keg of beer and decided that if we are going to do it, we should do it right. Unfortunately, the liquor store I called cannot get a keg of PBR. WTF?
PBR is for sale, like the whole thing.
Dude, can we buy it? I got 54 cents.
the dennis system was brilliant
We should buy it and be like the dude in the High Life commercials and make sure PBR is no longer douchey. Fuck $3.50 a can and the velvet rope.
They want like $300 million dollars. That's a lot of money for some beer you can't even buy in a keg
Fucking A.I am game. We can revoke their man card entitling them the right to enjoy PBR.
I am still waiting to try Kid Rock's American Badass Beer. Anybody know when it goes on sale?
In fact if we can model it after this guy, we should.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-RLqLx1iYI
i assumed kid rock's beer came out on December 21, 2012
Ten Questions to Ask a Woman Before Marrying Her: A Balls Deep Guidehttp://deadspin.com/5409407/ten-que...-propose-to-her
Pretty important questions to ask.
why they are playing at this hour is beyond me, but depaul better step up their game or they will PLUMMET to the bottom of the standings in the big east.
whoops, game is already over. espn is just lagging behind. way to not fuck it all up, depaul
Big East still undefeated?
It appears so. I'm interested to know what the record for an undefeated conference is.It'll get interesting shortly as Cincy is playing in the Maui Invitational.
Anyone see this new Great West conference?Chicago StateN.J.I.T.South Dakota Utah Valley Houston Baptist North Dakota Texas-Pan AmericanNew Jersey Institute of Technology??! When I think West, I think the Garden State.
i guess they figured "well, we certainly ain't great either. fuck it."
nova playing Dayton will probably be a loss. I think Dayton is underrated this season. Then our shittiest two teams play alabama and South Carolina so those two will probably be losses too.
Doubtful.Syracuse playing NC is probably the biggest chance for a loss....but I like that being a home game for Cuse.
Did anybody come back to UNC this year? I know they always reload, but I haven't heard or seen much from them yet.
Headline reads "Miley Cyrus tour bus overturns, kills 1"Is it bad that I read that and thought please be someone with the last name cyrus.
Not sure. Supposedly them and Vandy played a scrimmage without keeping score (wink wink) and Vandy won 80 something to 60 something.They should have good play underneath, guard play will probably leave something to be desired as should be expected without having Lawson or Ellington.
I think they are replacing Hansborough with a white boy named Zeller.
I like my Fantasy Football perfomance last night. It was something like 36 from Ricky Williams and 20 from DeAngelo Williams. I'll take the 56 point jump on whoever I am playing.
You got that jump up on Philco.
shit, i forgot to look at my lineup. for like the past three weeks. no worries, i don't think i would have made a change. not my year in fantasy.
I can't believe I drafted him. Ricky was a good steal in the draft.
Okay so what is the format with the playoffs?What week do playoffs start?
i'm pissed b/c I completely forgot the thursday night game and didn't check my team, not worried about our league, but my pay league i'm in, i forgot to put ricky williams in for michael turner who's got a high ankle sprain, so now i can't play my backup RB and I don't have any great options to replace turner this week
Sucks for you.
luckily i'm first in that league and i've already made playoffs, but it still sucks

We were at Za's pizza last night and some old people were their with a football trophy. Turned out to be a Toy Bowl Championship trophy for 7th and 8th graders. We contemplated stealing it. I regret our decision not to.
WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was the spike not teh right move?
Les' explanation does not make anything any more clear. Apparently: 1) Les wanted to run the ball after we got to the 31, but the OC called a pass play that would at worst be incomplete (except Jefferson got sacked for the 24th time this year) 2) Les thought he heard someone call time out after the third down botched swing pass and tried to call time out but somehow "did not relay" that to the referee for a full 16 seconds. 3) No mention as to why the kicking team wasn't at least ready to go other than "we didn't have enough time to kick." 4) Doesn't know who told Jefferson to spike the ball but will "get to the bottom of it." This video may helphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B9kfnJvB6Q
make sure to watch the whole clip
here's good summary with a link at the bottom to a les miles interviewhttp://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footba...rn=ncaaf,204094
clay travis had a good write up on ithttp://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/20...onfirms-idiocy/
Phil, when is he being fired?
there should be an official countdown after the last game ends, and take odds on whether it will be minutes, hours, or days after the last game
I don't know what LSU could have done, regardless they would have had to snap the ball when the clock started. The only thing they could have done IMO (with lots of luck) is false started and scored a TD because Ole Miss would obviously take the penalty which would have allowed LSU the opportunity to kick the FG. That is as long as the clock would start on the snap.
Isn't there a clock run off with an offensive penalty at the end of the game that would have caused the game to end if they had a false start? I don't believe that with an offensive penalty the game would have continued. I think they would have taken the penalty which would negate the TD and then they run off time ending the game. This might be an NFL rule.
See I don't know in NCAA, I know that is the NFL rule not sure about NCAA.Regardless they needed to snap the ball as soon as the ref started the clock. Maybe a player should have stole the ball and taken the delay of game penalty to get the kicking team on the field. I have no clue.
If not get the kicking team on just run a legit play.
Yeah the legit play is key.
So when is Klusterfuck getting fired?
Is Klusterfuck Kragthorpe, Charlie Weiss or Les Miles?
weis made some comment how he couldn't protest if they do fire him after the season, thought that was interesting
Dan Patrick show played his introduction speech years back where he discussed how 6-5 is unacceptable. If he is gone so is every playmaker they have leading to a more disasterous year then this year.
i don't keep up with notre dame so i can't argue with that, i just thought the comment was interesting, not regular coach speak, kraggy sure ain't saying that
He will be right back in New England as the OC of the Pats.
Klusterfuck was Krags but we can include Big Fat Charlie...I can't say that Klusterfuck is Miles...sure he dropped a game on some stupid decisions...but he has won more than loss based on great decisions.
the most amazing road everhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2-RJJfV8VA
don't forget, fuckers - hockey tonight at 7:30.
Anybody doing the hockey?
I am a gametime decision
brent and his buddies should be there, trivia laura is also listed DTD. Trying to recruit lynnie.
I am trying to get out there Philco. No promises of course.So what is the deal on Wednesday?
Chris and I have a Thanksgiving dinner at our parent's house. Following that I could see us potentially going out if we aren't about to puke. Anyone else have to work on Friday or am I flying solo on here?
Anybody looking for a cruise?America. Fuck yeah!http://piratesofsomalialive.com/
I am off Thurs/Fri.
you suck
i work friday, off christmas eve, i had to choose one. basically i'm going to sit around and do my continuing education classes i have to do to keep my security licenses, so i won't be working very hard
Douglas - you still liking the job?
Damn, as of now I have to work Christmas Eve as well unless Obama has a heart and declares it a federal holiday. I also will be working all day New Year's Eve.
been here for two years so yeah i like it. actually it's treating me pretty damn good the last six months or so
Can't beat that then.
There is a holiday this week?!
i didn't know it was thanksgiving weekend until Jerome told me he was going to be gone a day early on wednesday...

article about Notre Dame's search for a new coach included this:One of the great dare-to-dream moments came when Kentucky, desperate to end decades of irrelevance, took a crack at drawing Bill Parcells out of the NFL. Not only did Parcells not hang up, he became temporarily intrigued. He even discussed the possibility of giving it the college try with friends, including then-Texas Tech basketball coach Bob Knight.http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footba...o&type=lgnsI guess the tuna did have some interest...
He was more than interested.
We are doing thanksgiving at lunch at work today. It was a put luck like thing. Should I trust my coworkers cooking?
Krags planning on coming back.I want to know what kind of drugs he is using.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...e.ap/index.html
just make sure they eat it first, and you'll be fine
Douglas - tuna was closer than people want to admit.
yeah, you always hear conflicting stories, that's what I've always heard as well
The story I heard from someone very, very close to the program is that Parcells was going to accept it but was talked out taking the job by a friend.
word on the street is that Liggins probably won't see much court time this season, and will probably transfer.
Phil - That's how i see it.
terrance jennings blocking timehttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mu.../content.8.html
Dan Patrick just declared Monday "bring your favorite trophy to work day." Would have been awesome to bring in a stolen 7th and 8th grade toy bowl trophy if we followed through Saturday night.Girl at work (anthony is her boyfriend): every time we go to a thrift store there are always tons of trophies on the "random cool stuff" shelf and Anthony said he really wants to start buying them and just handing them out to just the most random individuals. Like, find the homeless dude with the steel reserve in his hand completely trashed and give him the U7 soccer trophy for being the best homeless dude around. or find some hipster kid with super skinny jeans and give him a trophy for being the biggest douche in town.
i hate those fags, every time i see a dude with skinny jeans i don't want to give him a trophy, i want to punch him in the face
glad to see the UK game tonight will be on TV. I can't wait to see the cluster fuck of a court they are playing on live.
what? Where are they, Cancun against whom?
i'll email you the pictures. they are playing in a ballroom. The court is just laid down on some carpeting. There are chandeliers and everything. If someone shoots from farther away than 40ft they'll hit one. They have a scoreboard just dangling in the corner supported by some rope.I'd like to think Gillispie knew he was going to be gone and scheduled this just to fuck with the next coach.
the only way this court could be more of a joke is if there was a giant ass Reece's logo on it.
touche
it's on channel 531 if you have digital cable. here are pics, it's pretty bad:http://www.flickr.com/photos/rudius...8331720/detail/
there are several open bars around the court, a comment i saw said "no wonder billy gillispie scheduled this tournament"
here's some more, including some homoerotic photos of them in the pool. i must say josh harrelson is stunning with his shirt offhttp://www.heraldleaderphoto.com/20...23/cancun-cats/
anyone know if liggins made this trip? i've heard he might have some reasons to not leave the country, but I assume those have been cleared up.I like that BCG comment. I was joking that they should have shrimp cocktails at the scorers table.
to see the set-up just click here.http://www.flickr.com/photos/rudius...8331720/detail/
Those pictures were taken by Tucker Max.
ha. those are some awesome pics, wes
i liked them better when i posted them the first time...and yes, liggins made the trip. so did dodson, although dodson wasn't playing in the shootaround, liggins was dressed on the 2nd team
Well fuck Douglas, you need to quit checking Jones' site before me. I know that is where you get them.
Or atleast give your post some kind of meaning relevant to your links. I didn't know if your pics were from UK shit or fucking some beaver.
do you have beaver pics? that would be awesome
oh, and you can try clicking the link sometime to find out what's on it, i know it's kind of a novel idea, but it beats being a re-poster
woman-beaver love!http://images.google.com/imgres?img...26safe%3Dactive

For what it's worth, i just said Russell would move up to #1 during the combines...that's my story.weirder: http://www.nattysci.com/displayPost...=63#comment5954
wow, the first link on there is just full of goodness. i've been reading for 10 minutes. we used to be cool
job hunting sucks
On that note, what are the new years plans? I work New Years Eve. Lynnie and Cheryl still planning on hosting?
jobs suck
Phil-I forgot about the Maine girl. "Youre in Maine. Like the state?"
Looks like I was more wrong.Bigworm on Sunday, January 07, 2007 at 11:32 PMSteve Kragthorpe is one hell of a football coach. I was actually hoping that UK would lock him up after Rich Brooks leaves. Of course, Mike Archer UK's DC might take the same position at NC State but get paid a lot more so I say let him go. I think I could step in and coach the defense..let's be honest UK was 118 out of 119..so what if we are 119 when I take over the reigns..it was just a one spot drop.I do like Joker Phillips, but he doesn't have much OC experience to take over for Rich Brooks. Dave, UK went 8 and 5 not, 9 and 5.
the moral of the story - we are all full of shit
btw, wes posted what I was talking about. my quote was:Phil on Monday, January 08, 2007 at 12:42 AMI think Russel is the real deal. I bet by the time the combines are over he'll have moved himself up to the #1 overall pick.
about us being full of shit. i meant everyone but stewie:stew on Monday, January 08, 2007 at 2:57 PMFUCK! That's all I have to say.stew on Monday, January 08, 2007 at 3:08 PMIt's official, the Steve Kragthorpe era has begun at U of L.

So does anybody have any plans tonight?
Damn! I was hoping to make it to hockey on Monday night, but I had to take the wife to Graceland. Any legendary plans for the holiday weekend?
stew, what's up buddyone of sarah's stupid friends decided to get married on thanksgiving weekend, and she's in the wedding, so i've got to go to the rehearsal dinner at 6, i think fandino's having a poker game tonight actually so i'm probably doing that, but if anything's going on, kaelyn's having a sleepover at my mom's house so i'm available
was the stupid part getting married, or getting married on Thanksgiving weekend?
i was referring to scheduling a wedding on thanksgiving weekend, but you ask a good question.
so i got my last quote on the basement, so i'll start getting that done next week probably
expect to not see you for at least 3 years?
no, i'm not doing the wes basement strategy, I'm contracting it all out except for the painting, once I get started, probably 3-4 weeks. i'd try to do it myself, but the more i think about it, i'd rather not use my own basement as a 'guinea pig' for the first time i try it, and contractors are working for dirt cheap right now b/c they're just trying to stay in business
Poll question:Turkey or sides?
Shit man I didn't even ask for quotes on my basement. A lot of my neighbors contracted their out and they were getting $25-30K quotes for about 800 squarefeet. I have 1250 squarefeet in my basement.
I'm not completely sure what we spent on the basement total because I didn't keep track of it. But I'd estimate about $15K.The good thing is with doing it yourself, you get more comfortable doing other things. For example, Abby and I want to put up a backsplash in the kitchen and knowing my taste in things I can spend about $700 bucks to buy the materials and do it myself or contract it out for God know's how much.
knows
800-850 square feet, most of the quotes i'm getting range in the 12k-13k range, including a bar, that's everything but paint. like i said, they're working dirt cheap right now, and instead of taking a year to finish it myself, might as well pay to get it done right and fast
Douglas - is your basement framed already or are you starting from concrete walls like I did?Abby's dad was the architect behind my basement, he built his and is damn handy with wood working (I think he is kind of like that dude in Gone in 60 Seconds that gets off on wood). Also, my dad and brother did their basements so I had other options available. Plus my father did the electrical wiring and shit, which scares the hell out of me. Personally, the worst part was drilling all the damn holes and pulling wires. That shit seemed like it would never end.I did contract out the hanging and finishing of drywall. Those guys were awesome. If you are doing that separately I have a good guy you can call into your house.
Trust me, if I was being quoted $12-13K I would have jumped all over it.
joe, does the turkey include gravy?
I am assuming that the turkey is gravy covered as are the sides.
Oh and that's the other thing. We didn't have a bathroom roughed in down there so if we wanted a bathroom and wet bar, I was going to have to get them to jackhammer it up and run the necessary pipes below the foundation...all to the tune of another $6K, which wasn't that bad I guess for what they were doing.I already know once I am done with pharmacy school and have the loans paid off the major house renovations begin. All of these will be contracted out.The list is already started:1) Removing carpet from first floor (great room and master bedroom and closet) and re-placing with hardwood. Of course, who knows if we can match what we currently have and I like some of those engineered hardwoods at Lowe's so that could be pricey quickly.2) Renovate the basement to include a bathroom and wet bar down there.3) I want to overhaul the master bathroom and get ride of that stupid corner jacuzzi tub and separate 3x3 shower to do a long jacuzzi tub and custom walk-in shower.
I only like hot turkey so that is a tough choice. But it's hard to say no to mashed taters with gravey, stuffing, and biscuits/rolls with butter.
I still like the idea of buying Gloucester and renovating the entire street into a compound of only people I like connected with underground tunnels
Abby and I have already realized we either renovate the house to exactly how we want it or we move. We love our location and I figure if we stick around that will prevent us from really forking out some cash for a house because Abby would want a pool & I'd want a walk-out basement with a couple acres of land.
damn, tough choice....hmmmmmi'm gonna have to side with wes. he made an excellent argument. Sides with gravy it is - assuming of course you get the full compliment and don't have to deal with fucking cranberries getting it's period juice over everything.Fuck cranberries
Yeah fuck the cranberries.
The butter gets me at hello everytime.
Sides...turkey is for the birds. Labor is dirt cheap right now, I got my driveway done for $2850, the guy said a year ago I was charging at least $1000 more.
I am considering contacting this company in Fisherville called Kitchen Solvers. The look like they do quality work.http://kitchen-remodeling.louisvill...h-Louisville-KY
I want to have my kitchen redone similar to the way my bathroom was redone, strip it down to the studs and start over. I figure that will be expensive.
I really don't even know where to start either.
I'd start by making a phone call to a contractor. Either you have to bird dog those guys yourself or put it in the hands of a professional and you still have ot bird dog them. The good thing is he can come out with his designer (coudl be the same person) and give you some ideas and an estimate.
Yeah kitchens can be crazy expensive depending on what you decide on. Are you handy with anything or is your dad handy with anything? Hell he might get bored and come over to do shit when you aren't home?
Shit I just feel like we need to drop in a Home Depot if there's time reference in here somewhere.
Joe - these people look good. This is who I am considering bringing out for a quote on the backsplash. I bet they have a whole range of options depending on what you want to spend.http://kitchen-remodeling.louisville-biz.com/
i don't have a bathroom or the plumbing for one, so that's keeping the cost low, and i'm adding a bar, but not a sink, that'd be an extra grand and i frankly don't need it, but i could always go back and add it. the place in the basement where i would add a bathroom is staying unfinished, so if i ever get the itch to do that i still can, but it would've been an extra 4-5k to do that right now, and once again, don't really need it so leaving it alone.
if you're looking to do anything, i went to louisville.servicemagic.com, basically it's like lending tree, you plug in what you want to do, they match you to four contractors and they call you to go over it, you can get quotes from several people pretty fast on pretty much anything you want to do. i did that, and got a couple other referrals, so i've gotten like 6 quotes so far, and still waiting on the last one to get back with me.
shit, I can do your kitchen joe. Let's make it happen.what I would do is make a clear seperation between your dining room and your kitchen. So extend the countertops out a bit from the wall and put the sink there. Leave the stove where it's at now as well as your fridge. Bam, you got yourself a dinning room that opens up to your kitchen, and a motherfucking triangle set up for cooking too.order some cabinets online from ikea and put that shit together over a week. piece of cake.
Service magic is a great place. We have used them before. Definately try that site out.
Definitely. My spelling sucks anymore.
I need electrical fixed so I can run the microwave and open the refrigerator door at the same time, cracks in the wall and ceiling fixed, re-do half the floor new cabinets and countertops and install a dishwasher somewhere, at least.
The answer to yesterdays question of do you trust coworkers cooking for a thanksgiving pot luck, the correct answer is no. Quite a few people last night were feeling ill and are zombielike today, including me.
haha, didn't know your kitchen was that fucked up
Is this guy the front runner for the Louisville job?http://www.uhcougars.com/sports/m-f...in_kevin00.html
no, seems charlie strong is right now.
Always makes you wonder about Charlie Strong. Why hasn't he got a headcoaching job before. I am pretty sure he can pick and choose or maybe he just likes being the defensive coordinator for UF.
charlie strong wasn't even fucking interviewed for a job last year.
That's crazy. I know he interviewed in the past I just figured he'd always get the call or that UF paid him handsomely so he wouldn't leave.
lots of people think he's been waiting to take the UCF job
why not USF when it is available?That is the one I'd go for.
summary of the les miles call in radio show last nightMy personal favorite"Coach, did your headsets short out during the game? Or did you have a brain fart?”http://www.shreveporttimes.com/arti...2/91124018/1028
charlie strong is more of a central florida guy. 15 of the players he recruited for florida came from there. not to mention I don't think USF has ever had a coach besides Leavitt, and he was born near Tampa so I don't know if that job opening will ever be there.When George O'Leary was rumored to get canned last year it seemed Strong going there was all but a done deal, but O'Leary is obviously still there. Didn't really pay much attention to it.
I see what you are saying Philco, but wouldn't you rather be the coach at a BCS school or is that too much pressure?
Not a lot of BCS job openings available to him, it appears. No SEC school besides Florida is gonna take him, that's for sure.
I know a guy who does flooring.
Joe, if you're interested, I can give you a name of someone. Rule of thumb, if you are going to a website, its probably too expensive.
I just like my guys to be fully insured is all.
You know, incase they fuck some shit up somehow.
Certain things you need the insured for other things you don't. I also don't ask for work permits, technically that's against the law but you need to know when the bend.
yeah i didn't get the work permits either. I am a thug like that.
Damn it feels good to be a gangster.
Adrian was asking about what John Wall did in the game the other day because he missed it. I responded with all he did was "messed around and got a triple double" he had no clue what I was talking about.
I do have the painter though, and he can do drywall as well. He did my drywall in the basement and pained Austin's bedroom for me. After I get my backsplash put together I am going to have him paint the kitchen.
So Joe in other words, with Philco's handiness and mine and Brent's connections...we've got you covered. When do you want to start?
I have no problem painting myself. What is the going rate hiring out Phil for labor?
Brent - did you do a backsplash in your house or for anybody that has a tiled backsplash in their house, do they have the tile butting up to the countertop or did they grout inbetween the tile and counter top?
So Wall got a triple double?
No, double double.He had 20 points 10 assists and something like 6 rebounds.Just the fact that Adrian didn't know it was an Ice Cube song, especially after Alan followed it up with "today was a good day".
Phil's labor is dirt cheap but it follows the adage. I didn't do a backsplash but I like the look and kinda wish I had...Ive seen it done both ways and I think they both look good, personally, if you can do it just right where you have a nice evenly spaced line of grout, I think that looks better. Then again, if you're doing it yourself, you might want to just butt up against the counter :)
Never would have known the reference.
This is the basic color scheme of our kitchen (cabinets, counter top) and the backsplash we are choosing. Of course, we don't have the big window area and the walls are sage green.I like the color combinations though and from what I can tell in searching google pictures, people do both ways but I agree...if you can let it sit on a spacer and get the grout between the cabinet and backsplash it does look better.

So how are everyone's IRA's and investment portfolios looking?We're so fucking gay.
I'm married with a kid, you guys have no excuse.
weird rumor I read today regarding Kragthorpe and his replacement."According to ESPN's Bruce Feldman, Louisville is a possibility for Tommy Tuberville, although the Cincy job is much more enticing to the former Auburn coach."
So anyone considering going out? If we get 1 driver we have Laura's Expidition as out limo, it has up to 8 seatbelts.
Let me know what the plan is. I'm playing hockey at 9pm. Might head up to Joe's Older than Dirt and check out that cluster fuck.I'm too old to deal with bardstown rd or st. matthews on amateur drinking nights
Phil, are you playing at Iceland? I just got back from Memphis today and if you need some fan support or something my # is 949.378.3904.
hey stew, we just got a pick up game. the bar should be open if you are bored. I'll give you a shout.
Stanford and UK just went into OT.
So apparently it is legal to tackle a player going for an alley-oop dunk if it is going to win the game against Gonzaga.Fuckin' refs!
Happy Thanksgiving Nattysci!!!
Anybody do anything last night? I ended up watching the UK at Cuban's while people played poker. UK has a lot of work to do.
I love UK's talent level. I do not like their decision making.
Wall is a freaking stud though. Tied the game up with those 2 FTs with 2.4 seconds remaining.
Last night we came up with the comparison of this UK team to the old Cincinnati teams of the 90's, man they were athletic.
So I'm thinking about going to the UL/Rutgers game tomorrow. This used to be a no-brainer before the Kragthorpe era, but we won't get into that. I was wondering if anybody else would be interested in going. If I go, I'd like to go with some friends so that I will have a guaranteed good time, regardless of whatever crappy plays Kragthorpe calls. Plus maybe we could make a big sign celebrating the imminent firing of the most terrible coach in Div. 1.
Fuckers off work tomorrow. Drink one for me while I am working.
Stew, I'll be there tomorrow. I had season tickets this year (sure it was mostly so I could get basketball tickets), and suffered through most of the games unless I had a wedding to go to. Can't wait to finish off this miserable season with a national TV audience and another beat down at the hands of the football power-house Rutgers.
Im starting to think UK would be better off without Cousins. He seems to cause to many problems. He's too good to leave on the bench but he's not ready to be the guy to win the game but he thinks he is.
This sucks being at work.
Good news, 840 comes in clear on my radio at work. Pregame show starts at 9:30. I think this will get me through most of the day. Go Cards, go Krogering.
Fucking eh. ESPN radio is a bunch of random people filling in for the seasoned veterans.
They are painting the office today, paint fumes are getting bad.

anything going on tonight?
TD RUTGERS!
i'll keep you company for the next hour,then i'm out.
I'm down to do something tonight...sitting around the house is getting old.
i'm going to an engagement party on bardstown at like 8, so i'll be available after that
UL sucks.
I may just start drinking right when I get home from work. This place is driving me to that so far.
haha, anyone want to start the fire kraggy countdown clock? what's the over/under on how long it takes? 24 hours? 48?
28-14 now. They are making a run.
Beaumont is not moving
what happened to Tiger Woods?

Gonna miss Kragthorpe...
Nashville Predators game on Monday: 8pm ET. Phil, I have 5 tickets for your crew. I'm recommending Big River Grille for food prior to the gamehttp://www.bigrivergrille.com/Everyone is welcome to crash at our place too. We got an extra bed in the study and have a pull out couch.Let me know your schedule.
I wouldn't be surprised if strong gets hired and it leaks prior to the sec championship.
Apparently my dad and I were on the news at BW-3s today commenting on the Kragthorpe firing. Go Cards, Go Krogering!
Burkets are TV starshttp://www.wlky.com/video/index.html
Joe now has face and name recognition to make a run at St. Matthews mayor.
Would have been much more interesting had she interviewed me later after my 2nd tall killians.
I am in stage I of "Light Up Gloucester." Me, a little wind and a wobbly ladder make for a potential good disaster. i normally don't put up lights this early, but the weather is way to nice to not put them up today. It is easier when I can feel my hands when I put up lights.
roughing the passer is a bunch of bullshit
time for the possession receiver's to pick up our lord and savior - Chris Redman
243 2 TD, I'd take it.
hey brent, here's some footage of some idiot playing assassin's creed II. It's a boring tutorial mission at the beginning but you can get a good idea of what running around and jumping is like without any of the story being given away.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Hn...1E5168F0A7A8079
Anybody here today of is it me talking to myself again?
here, now that you're a TV star not sure if i'm good enough to converse with you though.
Who has today off? I want that job.
I just figured you might be working on your basement.
So is Phat Phil taking the UofL job or is Patterson?UK fans are hoping Patterson takes it so we can try to get Bumphas their DC.
Fulmer apparently contacted Louisville about the job, but Jurich wasn't interested.Still looks like Strong is the guy unless something happens
I heard the Houston Coach mentioned.
Anybody see Vince Young yesterday?
That last TD pass I give a lot of credit to the receiver for holding on.
Hell yeah. He got blown up on that play and made the catch.
He was still holding the ball in interviews and he said he only put it down to shower.
oh that's great stuff.
Douglas - how did you enjoy watching the 25th annual beatdown of UK?Joe can testify that my blood wasn't boiling...that I was just waiting for us to fuck it up.
i fucked up and was too hopeful when they recovered that fumble, but the second i saw them take out cobb on 2nd down, and then again on 3rd, i knew it was over. i knew newton wouldn't score and was yelling at the TV before the play even started. once it went to OT i knew we didn't have a chance, just waited for the inevitable. that's the 3rd loss that can be pinned directly on play calling. if we had beaten UT like we should have, and either Miss St or SC, we'd be in at least the outback, probably capital one
Yep and now we are going to our home away from home. Nashville.
Strong and Sumlin (Houston) are the two names that keep coming up and are the most likely candidates. Rumor has it that Louisville has requested to talk to Patterson at TCU, and that even Gruden is still on the table potentially (but highly unlikely).But I don't think Jurich is gonna wait too long after the regular season to sign someone, so if he can't grab Sumlin, Patterson, Gruden or whoever that Strong is gonna be the guy. Lots of rumblings about him making $2 million.I think there are some reservations about grabbing a dude that recruits west coast / texas players. Florida / Alabama players have always liked coming here because we do travel down there for the USF games, but we don't exactly make it to texas anymore.
I like Strong as the best candidate if I were a UofL fan. Strong program, Strong conference, and Strong recruiting base...Strong is Strong.
Phil, is there more info on the Shanahan guy? Did I see him as the Texan's OC?
yeah, Kyle Shanahan is the OC in Houston. He was offered the OC job at Minnesota but he declined the job because he wants to be in the NFL. His actual quote was ""I wanted to stay here, I wanted to be in the NFL. My dad has been in the NFL since I was 4 years old. That's what I've always watched. I enjoy the speed of the game, I enjoy the X's and O's part of it. I like studying ball all year round, too. In college you're spending part of the year recruiting and things like that."Not sure why his name was being thrown around with a quote like that, which is why I found it interesting that it was being mentioned at all.
the big question mark on Charlie Strong right now is that Virginia might grab him up if they don't hire Mike London out of Richmond.
Stoops is denying being accepted the job at Notre Dame.
this was posted today on ESPN's college football rumor site:Names linked to Irish * Bob Stoops: Hasn't turned it down...yet * Butch Davis: A recent rumor; no history * Chip Kelly: Would be tough to pry from Nike's home on the range * Brian Kelly: The clubhouse leader; immune to losing in recent years * Gary Patterson: Remarkable run, but has shown loyalty to TCU * Al Golden: Also linked to Virginia and (eventually) to Penn State * Jim Harbaugh: Has a new deal at Stanford and solid recruiting class * Urban Meyer: How many times must we force him to deny it? * Jon Gruden: We're just reading the papers...
kragthorpe is moving back to tulsa and apparently has some job offers down there. OC at a BCS program, whatever that could be
But his son is the junior QB in the state championship game for Trinity.
got me.
Weiss is offcially out per ESPN.
El linko.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/...tory?id=4700891
ESPN radio announced it early today. I think it was pretty much expected.
Expected. Yes. Before the bowl. Not sure.
They are meeting today to discuss teh bowl game situation
After player input I am guessing?
Or do you think admin will make the decision?
it was a team meeting. Charlie Weis not coaching the bowl game.Bowden has 2 options, become an ambassador to the program and Jimbo Fischer take over or be fired.
the notre dame AD apparently is holding a vote for the players on whether or not they'd want to go to a bowl game if invited
brian kelly is apparently already getting cards from real estate agents in south bend. they are a proactive bunch.
Butch Davis is another rumor to SB.
Remember Joe, he is going to do some "soul searching".
so no one's commented on this music festival next year at churchill:http://whas.com/cc-common/news/sect...article=6382208shot thru the heart!
the problem with butch davis is there aren't a lot of ties to him. it's not a GREAT job anymore, and ND is probably pretty weary about publicly getting turned down for a job. That can cause quite a domino effect as they've seen in the past.My guess is that Kelly is as good as gone if he wants it
Jove, Chesney and Dave is a horrible combination to bring out the biggest of douches.
*Jovi
you could contribute most of that to dave
there's also michael mcdonald, b-52's, doobie brothers, richard marx, steppenwolf, basically a who's who of the 80's and 90's
it'll definitely be an older crowd
Patterson is 5-11 from the 3 point line this year. Not shabby.
there are rumors that freaking Chris Redman was talking Charlie Strong to Louisville.Big Jay, can you confirm this shit?
btw, yeah it's 5am. Road to nashville was a huge success.
bowden retiring
Guy on the bus pointed out to me that it is December and that the decade is almost over. It was kind of creepy, depressing and awesome all at the same time thinking about 10 years ago and what has happened since.
Next time someone asks me for an interview for TV I may have to say no. It is insane how many people watch the news.
Joe - you should have taken that opportunity to announce you are running for the mayor of St. Mathews.
Look like UK is still in consideration for the Outback Bowl. It looks like Outback or Music City.
Liberty!
Give me Liberty or give me death.........
How many Liberty Bowls has it been?
Dan Patrick just went off on talking about ling-er-ee, pronounced that way. We could have a radio show.
Only one I think.
2 Music citys and a liberty?
Yep. We own TN, except on the football field.Chris Lowe said that the Outback Bowl does want a UT-Wisconsin rematch, so that might help out UK.
Update: Radio in Knoxville said it was a bidding war between UK-UT for Outback Bowl. The OB reps don't want another UT-Wis rematch and are still bitter over the empty seats in the house. They are trying to figure out which fans will travel better.
Holy crapola. Thanks for spending my tax money UofL. Krags buyout isn't a total of 2.2 million, it is more like 4.45M!!!http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...e/2009911300376
Fuck you Auburn!!!!!We beat you pieces of shit in your house.
What did Auburn do?
Just mentioning of Auburn to Outback.
Chris Redman states that Charlie Strong's kids have begun enrolling in Louisville schools.
Hey good news for UofL if true. What is Chris Redman doing in town, shouldn't he be busy playing for Atlanta since Ryan is hurt?
who still has connections at trinity? isn't that where at UL boys go?
*all
Fuck, it's not over yet but I just want to know if I can get some tickets somewhere.KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- According to a source close to the university The Outback Bowl will not select Tennessee as its SEC team for this year's game in Tampa, FL on New Years Day.The same source says that Auburn will be selected for the Outback Bowl and Ole Miss will be the choice for the Cotton Bowl.Officials with the Outback Bowl are expected to make an official announcement later Tuesday.Remaining options for the Vols include: Chick-fil-a Bowl, papjohns.com Bowl, Music City Bowl. But WVLT sources say it will likely be the Chick-fil-a Bowl or the Music City Bowl.The Capitol One Bowl gets first choice of a non-BCS, SEC team and they are expected to take LSU.It's anticipated the Vols won't find where they'll be bowling until Selection Sunday.Stay connected with WVLT and volunteertv.com for details as they become available.
apparently the outback's not choosing them b/c of so many empty seats last year, hence why they're considering UK and the music city will definitely choose them if given the chance, b/c the fans will travel. the music city chose vandy last year, thinking the home team could increase sales, and it flopped
UK fans will gobble up Outback Bowl tix in record time.
Thanks for rewording my earlier post ass.Bigworm on Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 10:38 AMUpdate: Radio in Knoxville said it was a bidding war between UK-UT for Outback Bowl. The OB reps don't want another UT-Wis rematch and are still bitter over the empty seats in the house. They are trying to figure out which fans will travel better.
Redman said this on a Falcon's radio show.
That's awesome if true.
After what Phil said, then a guy at work heard the radio thing about Redman and Strong, then I google searched and found the rumor. Who knows.
probably not true. if i wasn't drunk as shit last night, I probably wouldn't have gotten as far. Charlie Strong has two kids. Hailee (11), Hope (8).
wait, that didn't make sense. The rumor that I heard last night was that Strong's son was enrolled at Trinity.this was redman's quote:“I think they've made the decision from what I've heard,” Redman said of Louisville's coaching search. “Sources say that [it's] Charlie Strong. I've heard he's a great guy, too. That's what I heard recently.”
More updates on pointless shit:HotBowl scenarios: They seemingly change by the hour. At one point, there were discussions aimed at Tennessee going to the Cotton Bowl and perhaps Ole Miss to the Outback Bowl. Then Kentucky entered the Outback picture. The latest scuttlebutt has LSU going to the Capital One, Ole Miss to the Cotton, Auburn to the Outback and the Chick-fil-A trying to decide between Georgia and Tennessee.
Auburn to Outback.Fuck you Auburn.
as many times as you've reposted my shit I can get away with it once
is auburn official now?
Not "public" but yes it is official.
Atleast that is what my sources tell me, and they have been pretty good in the past.
i wish we were all cool enough to have sources
Of course the thing that surprised me was the other bowls did not anticipate Auburn going to the Outback considering they lost 5 of their last 7 and one of their wins was over Furman.You can have sources too Douglas, Mr. Larry Vaught is a great source.
Seriously, UK could be looking at the Liberty, Independence, or PapaJohns Bowl now because the Outback took Auburn (the 5th place team in the West) over the 2nd place team in the East. Not a good scenario.
Colin Cowherd on ESPN radio is making fun of the mangagment ring, the engagment ring for the man.

Favre scored 42 for me. How many did Brees get you, like eleventy billion?
So what's more impressive. Scoring 3 TDs in one game ala Al Bundy or throwing for 5 TDs in one game ala Drew Brees.
city championship game by far
I concur, that's the stuff that dreams are made out of.
Al Bundy scored 4 TDs in the city championship for Polk High
he also scored on the pink ladies
Fuck good point Douglas. 4 in the city championship is definitely more impressive.He even converted the hail mary in Hell.
forgot about the hail mary
If you can convert the hail mary in hell and win your soul back that pretty much means you are godlike.

did we play ball with a seth sklare at st. matthews?
So I got tired of reading articles about the Camm case and the writers not giving a reason why the case was overturned, so just now I decided to call the writer and ask him personally....pretty effective. Although its kind of hard to explain, Im guessing that's why he left it out, lazy reporting.
Douglas, if we did I don't remember him. Why?
a guy at the gym looked familiar, saw the back of his shirt and it said "sklare" on it, trying to remember where i know him from, st. matthews seemed the best option

This is a pretty good deal from BU.Friday, December 11 is Young Alumni Night at the Men's Basketball Game. This is a great opportunity to call up your Bellarmine friends and get the old gang together for a fun night.The event is $10 per person and includes your ticket to Friday night's game (7:30pm tip vs. Ohio Valley University), a pre-game tailgate in the Norton Health Science Center from 6:15pm - 7:15pm with beer, wine, refreshments, and appetizers, access to the Varsity Room at halftime (beer and refreshments available), and we are even throwing in a ticket to Saturday night's game too (tip at 7:30pm vs. IU Southeast).
The Swan Dive must be our Cheers.
Nothing inevitable. The Domers still believe that they can get Stoops.
They are still hoping to get Urban Meyer. It is like Keith Hernandez in Seinfeld. Who does he think he is? I'm Notre Dame.
Philco - because I am too lazy and I am sure you know this off the top of your head, what is Charlie Strong's buyout from UF?
i don't think Charlie Strong has a buyout clause.
i've heard that UC has a contract finalized, but not signed, by Kelly. I believe Stoops and Ferentz have turned down ND, and that ND is focusing on Skip Holtz, Harbaugh and Randy Edsall from Uconn.
Red and Blue Review said Charlie Strong had a pretty high buyout clause on his contract.
Skip Holtz is a good coach, of course UK beat him so he can't be that good. And I don't think I'd want to follow in my father's footsteps. Can he possible live up to being the second Holtz at ND?
huh, first I've heard of this. Let me do some digging.
Of course he makes something like $310K so how high could it be?

I can honestly say I have never had Spinelli's. Phil, when are you buying a house? You still doing BBC tonight, Phil?
Neither have I Joe. I saw an article and a picture of a pizza in the Business First the other day and I almost ate the paper.
I refinanced to a 7/1 ARM for 4.125%, you dont even want to know what my mortgage payment is.
US gets England
Are they better then us?
And by us I mean the United States Soccer Association if that is what it is even called. There is no affiliation between myself and US soccer. I like how IU fired their coach even though they are a pretty dominant program. I listen to way to may sports radio.
Joe - yes the English national team is better than the American national team.
The US team did beat Spain (ranked #1 in the world) and played loss to Brazil 3-2 after leading 2-0 at the halftime in the Confederations Cup last year.
Was the US able to replace the guy who is out from the car wreck? England has Beckham, is he still playing for their national team? Isn't Beckham really not that good for their national team any more? Does Beckham still have game or is just a figure that is living through his fame and persona and kind of overrated now?
England, Slovenia and Algeria is the pool. Do you have to win the pool or just finish in he top 2 to advance? I have a feeling Slovenia and Algeria may be easy matches.
Yeah US had a very lucky draw. We should finish 2-1 in pool play.
from what i understand about beckham, he's still pretty damn good, though not great. he's not a striker, or scorer, or whatever the fuck the position is, he's like a midfielder or something, so apparently a lot of his impact is not felt on the stat sheet, but rather the flow of the game, think like a great defender in basketball, he's not gonna light up the stat sheet but he's invaluable to the team and is crucial in winning games. at least that's what i've heard about him in my very limited attention paid to that sport
And he is nailing Posh Spice. That has to count for something because she is hot.
i liked this quote on the england game:"If the US wins... it's officially called soccer."
btw, the rankings for the US drawEngland #9USA #14Algeria #28Slovania #33probably one of the more favorable draws.
joe, yeah - i'll be there. trying to figure out when brent is going, but the band goes on at 11ish I think.What''s your plan for the night?
they are like a hippy jam band too. should be an interesting show
No plans as of now for tonight. Laura's parents are driving through this weekend on their way to Missouri to visit family so I need to make the house presentable/parentproof before they get here tomorrow.
Make sure you leave an opened condom wrapper on the floor.
Do they have any clue that you two are living together?I mean how do you explain the dogs and all the dog hair?
I think it is understood that just no one talks about it.
Jerry Smith is out indefinitely...my sources say achilles strain.Im going to try and get there around 11. A friend is having a birthday party at Olivers, I was going to go there for a minute if anyone wants to join me.
As long as Preston And Siva come back I can part with Jerry. 10:30-11:00 sounds like a good time to shoot for.
lynnie's a maybe too.
I guess first person to make a move to head up to BBC contact teh rest of us.
looks like they are gonna turn the old country club off river road into a full time cyclo-cross course. that should be neathttp://www.courier-journal.com/arti...iver+Road+parks
Wes- It's understood, but she lives/sleeps upstairs and Joe dwonstairs.Phil- I thought the cyclo-cross thing had been full time for some time now. There was a recent article in the CJ that a fairly big tournament/race has already been there.
I should have read the article first. The country club is going to be some sort of public park and Eva Bandman (little closer to downtown and the soccer park) is going to be converted to a cyclo-cross track. Speaking of which, we should try cyclo-cross.
Great line by Jim Caple about the upcoming MLB HOF voteand Fred McGriff"I'm not sure that's fair to him, though. I think his reputation is hurt by having played for so many teams -- he switched clubs six times -- that no fans were able to really claim him as their own. McGriff moved around so much that if he does reach Cooperstown, the most logical cap for his plaque is the goofy one he wore for the Tom Emanski fundamentals commercial."
I'm making the switch to Direct TV. Anyone currently have direct tv? "Already a DIRECTV customer? You can get $100 for every friend you refer to DIRECTV. Email them and give them your DIRECTV account numberYou can find your account number on your monthly DIRECTV bill or by logging in to directv.com – they'll need it when they order. You'll receive a $10 monthly bill credit for 10 consecutive months for each friend who activates DIRECTV service." If someone gives me their account number we both can save $100. I saw some codes online that will work, but thought I'd give any of you a chance to save $100 bucks on your bill.

GO BEARCATS! 12-0!
Tebow is crying. Pussy
Brock - just think you guys might get Tebow after Bama just pissed him off. Cheers to that.
Does Florida losing mean god hates Tebow or is this loss part of a bigger plan for Tebow?
All I know is Tim will be inspired against whatever team UF plays against in whatever bowl game they get invited to play in.Do you think Tebow will cry more after losing the SEC Championship or after losing his virginity?
Tebow losing to alabama is like jesus losing to the romans
34-10 St. X right now.
Colt McCoy almost became the biggest tool in College Football ...
Luckily, we didn't lose to these homos.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_X...mp;feature=fvsr
I would rather UC play Florida than Alabama. As you may have noticed, there is an issue with the run defense. Tebow scrambling around... that just has our linebackers salivating.I loved how Kelly said "fuck it, let 'em pass. I'm blitzing linebackers, safeties, punters, and ballboys to stop the run game." Every time UC has tempted a team to pass, they rack up the INTs. The UC defense is built for pass defense not run defense. That's why they have to score early and often on offense to make their defense effective.Did anyone else notice that Texas lost their game to Nebraska? The clock ran out and they had less points. That equals a loss, right? Oh wait... not if the BCS prefers a scripted Texas vs. SEC game or Notre Dame doesn't want to have to deal with stealing a coach in a national title game. Fuck this bullshit system. Isn't Boise State the only undefeated team to beat a BCS conference champ (Oregon?). They will still sit @ 6 and potentially not make a BCS game. If this year isn't the biggest clusterfuck for the BCS, I wish Nebraska had won.By the way... if you love Tebow's balls so much. You are more than welcome to join me down in N'Awlins on New Years to watch him be castrated.
This has to be my most hated photo of all time.3 douchebags wearing St.X, Notre Dame, and Steelers toboggans. If only I had a chaingun cannon.http://cmsimg.courier-journal.com/a...xh=352&q=60
I think that the Alabama beating florida was th only thing I wanted. I guess the Cincy game was ok. Everything else sucked.
Nebraska defensive coordinator Carl Pelini was quite heated, via Omaha.Com, as he screamed at Texas players "You should be ashamed to accept that trophy!" and "BCS, that's why they made that call!" http://www.omaha.com/article/200912...IGRED/712069849

What a horrible sports weekend
I went 4-0 in fantasy football, UK beat UNC, UL lost, Florida finally lost, I thought it was a glorious sports weekend
I haven't checked the FF scores this week but I am pretty sure if we played you beat the hell out of me considering I had Favre, Rice, Harvin and their defense all going last night.
I agree with Joe. The BCS sucks. UL basketball sucks. UK (or I should say John Wall) impressed me enough to think UL vs UK is going to be super ugly. And I don't really care about the NFL. Hopefully, there will be some good news for us soon with the coaching announcements for UL and ND.
Had John Wall not been dehydrated the UK-UNC game would have been ugly.When he came back in wasn't even the same player.
Brock is going to kick my ass in fantasy because my team projected at 160 points didnt show up, all the above other mentioned sports and throw in St. X over Trininty in the state championship is just the cherry on top of the cherry.
Phil, every time I post something on NSmobile, the font comes back huge and to the top of the page, fix that shit already
Man I can't wait for John Wall to decline millions upon millions of dollars to come back to UK for his sophomore year. If he does that they might erect a bronze statue of him while he is still playing.
yeah, i saw he said that, i'm not holding my breath. i am pissed about the BCS though, they fucking pitted boise state vs. TCU instead of giving them BCS teams, seems like a total fucking cop out to me, they don't want the BCS teams possibly losing to mid majors. i am looking forward to the FL-Cincy game, that'll probably be the best one
oh, and yes, i did kick your ass
yeah yeah.I figured if the cardinals gave up 500 yards of total offense to the titans that I'd be golden.
Congrats Schweitzer, atleast the UC/UF game should be creative.
I personally want to see the TCU/Boise State game in the Fiesta Bowl.
i want to see that game too, don't misunderstand, i just think they both got screwed, b/c whoever wins, the thinking will still be "well they didn't beat a BCS school," even though i think they could easily handle over half the other teams that got a BCS bowl. they'd prove a lot more by beating a BCS team than each other
i'm with ya douglas. nobody's gonna watch that game thoughhttp://collegefootball.rivals.com/c...asp?CID=1025452
i saw a comment in another article that said david is supposed to be goliath, david is not supposed to play david
supposed to play
brent, i'll get those bugs fixed. also, here's the house I mentioned that is ridiculoushttp://glarmls.com/GLARReports/List...g_id=7915020772
Exactly, Douglas. That is exactly why I want to see that game. I thought it was interesting instead of pairing them up in the David vs. Goliath game they said here ya go...fight each other.I wonder if they match the intensity that Boise State gave OU or Utah gave Bama.
That's not a bad looking house, I would be interested to see what the rest of the neighborhood looks like.

Charlie Strong coaching contender UVA hires Richmond Spider's coach.
Is this all coming from ESPN Radio?
yep
jurich met with charlie strong yesterday apparently, although no official offer was made
strong told jurich that he had to pray with it overnight with his wife. they are talking again today.
also, strong is in arkansas so if things do go well then there won't be an announcement until wednesday. Apparently Strong wants to make sure he has enough money for quality assistants (e.g. Billy Gonzales)
Phil, careful with house like those. Notice the heating/cooling says "other," which means its probably steam heat and no central A/C. You'd have to jimmy-rig duct work into that house b/c the walls are all plaster. I bet it has one of those cool furnaces from "The 'Burbs" though.
What else can a coach ask for from a school/program?http://twitpic.com/sj7wa
RIP WWE wrestler Umaga.
Is that Fatu?
oh yeah, it definitely would need some work. Our buddy Rory was looking at buying some new rental property. That place was selling for $190,000 until they dropped the price last week, so it was just an intriguing place based on the size and location
Pete Carrol nailing college coeds? Anyone hear taht story?
Fatu's brother I believe
he's also dwayne "the rock" johnson's cousin
ha, the pete carrol rumor was started by charlie weishttp://www.latimes.com/sports/colle...0,1504053.story
here's what weis said for those that can't read that article:A reporter asked:"Is it frustrating to you Pete Carroll, for example, portrayed in one way . . ."Weis was quoted as responding:"Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it [OK] for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."

I must say that may have been the most awkward trip to the post office ever. There is a post office at 4th Street Live. I can take a pedway from my office at the Galt House to 4th Street Live and never touch the street. In coming back I had awkward eye contact in the pedway with tennis player ex-girlfriend. I wasn't sure at first but on double take it definitely was her. At first I just thought it was a girl doing an awkward strange hair toss, but it turned out to be a notice me hair toss followed by what looked like a why won't you notice me I hope you die for not noticing me death stare.
Strong work, Joe. We wouldn't expect anything less from you. I guess we could, if you had recognized her and said or done something stupid. That was a long fucking time ago though, wasn't it?
Like senior year of high school and maybe again into sophomore year of college.
did you look at her and say "hey, did we bang?"
Is that your line?
A source at work is hearing a possible leak of a new head coach at UL tonight and an official announcement tomorrow. Any one else hear anything like this?
something like that. Strong is in Arkansas for the assistant coaches award dinner, so news of that leaking out at that time would be advantageous for him to bring in new coaches. It doesn't also hurt that news is leaking that the thing he's holding off for is a guarantee of good salaries for good coaches to come in.
speaking of lines, remember when we are at molly's and I asked the waitress if she went to bearnos trivia? I reversed that on a girl at bearnos that thursday. Told her that I made an ass of myself because of her. It actually worked.I later screwed it all up, but the initial line did work.
btw, I've also heard that thursday night at the B&W Club will be the official announcement.
Islanders defenceman Witt hit by car; will play tonight http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=301565
Curtis Granderson to the Yankees.So are you the downfall of all your own moves?
Wow Joe - ex-gfs just can't let it go can they?
ok, website back up. stupid network.so anyways, the line actually worked and moves actually worked. hung out with the girl for a few hours, had some laughs and the invited me to come bowling with her and her friends on Monday. Because I didn't go bowling last night we can see where this goes.So at the end of the night I'm walking out of the bar with her and a guy friend of hers and I needed to get her number. But my cell phone was dead. I panicked. I gave her my number and told her to call me, which she won't because girls hate doing that and I'm an idiot.I was like Greg Norman at the masters. Epic choke
stupid technology
In my defense, I was outside and the bar was closed. Indoors I would have known to grab a pen and paper...I think. In retrospect I should have told her to give me a call in five minutes.
hey douglas, when's the last time you've been to a dentist? looks like I'm going for the first time in forever because part of my tooth just chipped. It was foul. Good times.
a couple months ago, i had gone a long time without seeing one, but a couple years ago i started going back, and i've been consistent ever since then. the first time back i had to get like 3 fillings
Same story here. I go to Dr. Schoenlaub, he is a kick ass dentist.
should have followed suit.god i hate fucking dentists
i don't like going to them either
I didn't chip my tooth though, I thought I chipped my tooth but it was actually just a piece of placque on the back of my tooth that came off.
Dentist scare me. Of course that was probably because my teeth were jacked and I felt uncomfortable because of that....doesn't bother me anymore.
i know this guy - he's brent's buddy. I told him I hate dentists. he laughed and said he could gas me if needed.I think I got the same thing that happened to you, wes. Freaked me out.
Yeah really freaked me out. I thought my teeth were falling out.
UL press conference tomorrow at 3:30 or 4:00
my grandpa was my dentist growing up, he died in '01, and I didn't go back to a dentist for years after that, and after awhile it was more or less b/c i knew my teeth were fucked up so i didn't want to deal with it. so i went back to sarah's dentist finally and got my shit fixed and they're fine now. what was weird for me was how different it was. apparently my grandpa was "old school" in what he did, now they got all these fancy things, like there's no more sink next to the chair to spit in, they got this vacuum hose thingy that sucks the spit out, and the way they do x-rays is different
UL board of directors meeting tomorrow at cardinal stadium at 3:30 regarding 'personnel' decisions
Only 1 coach interviewed...not hard to figure out.
thanks guys, kinda freaked me out. glad to see i'm not the only weirdo.I'm hearing Kerry Coombs to Cinci
What are you talking about that's how they do teeth! First they go up one side, they move it over, then they go up the other side, they move it back, and then they do the rear.
Think i I did have a prison dentist. Hopefully tony will be gentle
Btw, the picture of tony on his website is awesome.
There is no way Kerry Coombs is going to be head coach if Kelly leaves. He's only been out of coaching Colerain for 3 years. Is Beatty going to be Louisville's next coach? Well... that might actually be a good idea.
where should you go eathttp://eatingtheroad.files.wordpres...eshouldieat.jpg
maybe what I read just said he'd coach the bowl game
That picture is pretty hilarious.
two thumbs up to the tony dental visit. told me like it was, told me what we had to do to fix it and made it happen quick and painless.should have gone a long time ago
I know there is a quick and painless joke in there somewhere.
Is this the first time someone stuck stuff in your mouth, told you like it was and made it happen quick and painless?
can that double as a pick up line
I think it can be a pick up line.One of Dan Patricks cohorts on his radio show went to Dartmouth. Dan just said:"The Ivy league wants you to shut up. you are diminishing the value of an Ivy League education as you speak." Should I put that quote in my back pocket and save that one for the right moment to use on Laura?
that's good, that would need to be saved for a special argument
I've already lost so why not go down in a ball of glory kind of argument?
either that, or one where you are totally right and/or she is totally wrong and she's not listening to a damn word you say
looks like charlie's en route
Dino just saw him at the Mariott. He said he is a big dude.
Rece Davis interviewing Charlie on College Football Live.
any word on people coming with him or staying? Looks like gonzalez is out
I heard FLorida wants to keep Gonzales as well. AM 1450 is planning to boradcast the press conference. His interview on ESPN was pretty vague but very good. He sounded sincere not Krag speak or Petrino bland talk. He simply said he wants to put exciting fun footballto watch on the field and establish the talent we have and build with recruiting. Lot of focus of playing hard and aggresive football.

rumors are now that interest in Kelly at ND is losing steam because of drama involving a hacked twitter account. Randy Edsall seems to be the front runner
Big East, best stepping stone in the nation.
http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...+Charlie+StrongCharlie's contract
john wall is the man
Dan Patrick just said he saw the future of college basketball in John Wall last night. Then goes on to say he is the real deal but is already leaving and will fit in well with the losing Nets.John Wall and T-Will will save the Nets.
the best thing about last night was the number of stupid fucking mistakes UK made, cuz they played anything but a flawless game, and still were able to tough it out with a good Uconn team down to the wire. when they stop making those stupid mistakes, shit's gonna get ugly
and after reading more about charlie strong, he looks like he'll be a damn good hire. he actually seems to have a lot of friends and connections in the area, so he might actually be more of a long term fit than i originally anticipated. didn't realize he and joker were such good friends either
The press conference was a great moment in Tom Jurich name dropping.
didn't see the conference, but i read the article where he talked about calling dungy, shanahan, and a bunch of other people. that seemed to be in good jurich fashion
Lou Holtz was also name dropped.
I think the Randy Edsall to ND would be a big mistake. What the fuck has he done at UConn? A few nothing bowls? Of course he would be stupid not to take it.
Has Brian Kelly turned down ND yet? Notre Dame is making the mistake of aiming low so they don't have the embarassement of being denied.
I am sure ND has put out feelers. If UC keeps Kelly that is awesome for their FB program.
Charlie Strong will have one of the best staffs in the country. He could make UofL relevant again.
I've said it once I'll say it agian. If nobody beats us now, they won't beat us later.
i thought everyone saw this, but if not here's the video of the giant ass rednecks shooting up a 60" tv because their buddy bet them that the redskins wouldn't losehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJzb...player_embeddedmy favorite part is that everyone shows up and hops out of their truck with a beer and gun in hand.
Who really gives a rats ass about notre dame football.
Ummm...NBC, 90% of Catholic men, any coach that wants the Notre Dame money that is usually millions of dollars more then other schools will pay them and sports reporters on radio, tv and in print because people like when you talk about them. If Notre Dame was irrelevant we wouldn't be having these conversations.
Notre Dame isn't relevant in college football anymore, much like UK had become an afterthought. However, with the right hire, they can become relevant again.
But UK, like Notre Dame, was still always media relevant because people want to hear about them.
shitmydadsays: "Pressure? Get married when you want. Your wedding's just one more day in my life I can't wear sweat pants."
What are you talking about Chris? Randy Edsall is the greatest coach of all time. They would be crazy not to take him. I would even be willing to personally drive all of coach Edsall's stuff to South Bend myself.
The radio just described Orton for UK as Caracter and Cousins illegitimate son. Basically, their point was that Cousins is dumb and talented, caracter was dumb and talented and would play and get 1 rebound in 30 minutes of play and Orton is simply a retarded mix of dumb and talented and worthless.
best description I've read of wall is that he's like Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez"It's pretty easy when you play with a bunch of rejects and a fat kid, hey John. Except for Wall, you're all an insult to the game."
whoever was making that description about orton and cousins is a fucking idiot and making shit up to talk bad about UK. cousins is still kind of a whiny bitch, but that's more or less b/c he's used to doing whatever the hell he wants, but he doesn't resemble caracter at all, especially in terms of talent. he straight up embarrassed UConn's big men several times last night in the second half when he got going. as for orton, he's not as polished as cousins, but he's not worthless and he's still talented as fuck. last night was his worst game this year, he played great against UNC, and he's got a pretty good bball IQ. orton's gonna stick around a few years and will be a very beloved UK player before he leaves.
They never compared Cousins and Caracter. However, if you do compare them, I see a similarity in that they have lacksadasical moments and stupid fouls getting them in foul trouble. They did say that Orton is talented. How it came up was that they were pointing out that at the beginning of the season UKs depth may have been overrated. They are noticing a quick drop off in capable players beyond Wall and Patterson. The talent is there but it is not functional talent yet. Don't even get me started on Samuels.
They also said that UK basketball is a must see in the fact that you will either see highlight basketball or you will see a complete trainwreck of basketball. Wither way it is a must watch. They are trying to do a statistical study of UK 10-0 runs compared to opponents 10-0 runs and see which one outnumbers the other.
statistical study? ken pomeroy has uk ranked #58 as of last night.
I wouldn't say UK's been heralded as being very deep, they really only go about 7-8 deep, but in terms of offensive production, it's mainly in the starting lineup, they're right about that. orton will spot you some low post points and good D down low, dodson will guarantee a couple 3's a night, and ramon harris guarantees the best defense on the team, hence why he's always in the game when it's on the line. i wouldn't call them a trainwreck by any means though. the battled both UNC and Uconn pretty hard, and they didn't put them down with 10-0 runs at the end, they put them down by grinding it out and getting some key plays and clutch free throws (calipari's apparent big weakness). what i'm enjoying more is that they're winning that way right now, so when they get more polished (stupid turnovers / fouls are what's keeping teams in the game with them), they're going to be pretty fucking hard to beat. in the last two games, there was no doubt UK had more talent / athleticism, they also made more boneheaded plays than the other teams did too, that's their biggest weakness right now. you can fix boneheaded plays, you can't fix a lack of talent

rumors that this guy would be joining charlie strong's staffhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-azgWTq3_dU
FUCK YOU NOTRE DAME! May your shitty success continue.
i still hear Coombs is the guy at UC. Although there were rumors of Coach Fulmer being interested too now
Phil, did you used to play for Tennessee?
Brock - UC can go back to mediocrity now.
Coombs will be the interim coach for the bowl game. That's it.Mediocrity? Have you noticed the talent UC has. The defense is all underclassmen and Collaros is only a sophomore. The USC transfer Hazelton comes in next year. Whoever takes over as coach is going to have a loaded cupboard to work with. UC will get a top flight coach on the talent alone.
Yeah, UC seems stacked Just like Kragthorpe and Louisville was in 2007
Tuaca and Big Red tastes like bubble gum
Is that your morning drink today or just the stale booze taste left over in your mouth from a night of drinking.
It was the I want a drink but my options are low and it is too cold to go back out to get anything so I looked at my liquor and chose Tuaca over vodka or tequila. Mixer options were Big Red, Sunkist, Blue Powerade Zero or Red Powerade Zero.
Did the Steelers really lose to the Browns?
Adrian, you in the office today? Any good lunch plans?
Everybody sucks today.
Adrian took off today. Our grandma died last night.
So UofL got a commit out of the Seneca QB, UK picks one up from the Eastern TE.
Brock - We will see.
Denial is always the first step.
Sorry to hear that Goodloes. Grandma Goodloe or other side of the family?
Condolences.
Mom's side. Pierce is the last name.
I heard Brian Kelly left because he fears Charlie Strong.
I'm scared of Charlie Strong, he looks like a big dude.
He is a big dude. He still works out and runs with his players.
I requested off for New Years Eve to see if I can make "New Years X." I doubt my request will be approved since I am low man on the totem pole and we need a certain percent of the office at work every day and a lot of people have requested off that entire week.
what are the plans for NY?
As of now it sounds like B.Y.O.E. (bring your own everything). I plan to do high life dogs and maybe chili and I am assuming cuban will bring queso. I have a little jager in the house that can go into the machine. If everyone brings a food item and a bottle of something I figure we can all share and have a good time.
nothing like a columnist for a major national publication taking a picture of your violation to damage the possibility of denying the violation...oopsSEC folks call this scandal "tail-gate"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...ting/index.html

I like drunk text messages from phil name dropping Rajon Rondo's brother and Will Perdue...WILL PERDUE!
When did IU become a national championship contender?
I do what I can. I was hammered last night
WTF? Western Carolina?
Joe, Chris, and Joanna - Thank you for coming out.
If you need a drink after tomorrow I can be there for that too.
This place is dead. I saw that your basement is coming along Douglas.
yup, recessed lights are in and attached to switches now, just need to finish installing the electrical outlets. framing's done, supposed to start drywalling probably tomorrow or Wednesday. when that's done, i'm going to take a few days off and paint before they finish the trimwork and flooring
i like my method, i think it's faster than the goodloe way of working on your basement
I was able to go in the Goodloe basement the night of the UK - UT football game and I will have to say it is nice.
it is very nice, and mine's not as big as that either, i was referring to taking two years to complete
I wish Big Jay and Marc still read the site so I could tell them that I almost literally got judgement nighted up in chicago. I got lost wandering the streets for like 20 minutes at like 3 in the morning. Good times.
not a good place to be lost that late. why were you in chicago?
Year of the road trip. Our buddy Kris is friends with Rondo's brother so he got us the hook up with Celtics v Bulls tickets and got to meet Rondo. It was a good trip.But yeah, I got separated from the herd, Rory told them he thought my cell phone was dead so no sense bothering texting me, and they continued to try and get laid. I felt loved, but lord knows I would have done the same.
hey, brent - send this link out to everyoneThe Olympia Restaurant. http://www.hulu.com/watch/3533/satu...mpia-restaurant
also, i found this funny based on our conversation. The Great Wipe Hope - Sitters vs Standershttp://deadspin.com/5424415/sitters...great-wipe-hopethe greno word on people that take their shirts off to shit
cool. i saw rondo get clothes-lined by brad miller in that game
brent can tell the story better because he was with Rondo's brother when that happened, but it was pretty odd experience being there with someone that knew the dude got hurt and 18,000 people started cheering.
tiger woods mistress caught with mr. belding:http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/13/tiger...mistress-photo/
Yeah after the game, Rondo said, "Yeah, I knew it was coming, so I wasn't worried about it."
programming alert: check out "The U" tonight on ESPN. I've been watching the 30 for 30 documentaries and they've all been excellent so far. I caught the beginning of it last night and what I saw was great.
Phil, that article is putting me in tears...my head is hurting from laughing so much.
I've heard nothing but good things about "The U." Colin Cowherd was talking about things in the past we always overreacted about, "The U" was not one of them. They were legit. If anything we underreacted to the vulgarity that was the U.
i caught part of it, want to see the rest. the one on ali was really good too, it went over his last fight to holmes and how he was already showing signs of parkinsons and should not have been fighting, but he made like 11 million (in the late 70's) and needed the money
Phil, the shotgun bet is on youtube...for those that don't know Rory, the guy on the right, I dont think any of us have ever seen this guy touch a drop of alcohol in the five years I've known him.

oh yeah phil, you see dexter last night? it's pretty rare that i'm surprised by anything that happens on a TV show, but my jaw was on the floor
oh yeah, did see it. I thought ending was kinda lame but I was so shocked that I just sat and watched the interview at the end.Next season should be pretty interesting to see how they take it. Too much of Dexter's past is coming to light so someone is going to start putting it together besides Doakes
i meant i thought the ending was lame, the REAL ending happened and I was like "hoooooooooooooooooly shit"
i had called everything up to that last scene, i called dexter being the trunk of trinity's car and sarah was pissed that i ruined that for her, but i was pretty floored. i'm actually kinda pissed b/c they killed off the only hot chick on the show, i don't want to be stuck looking at the girl from louisville all the time
... your wife?
The first round of the Fantasy Football playoffs was a freakin' bloodbath.
sarah's my wife yes, but the girl from louisville i'm referring to is jennifer carpenter, who plays dexter's sister, but is married to the guy who plays him in real life, and she's from louisville
and she's not attractive
thoughts on the killer's daughter. the older one, not the 15 year old that tried to blow dexter
she's hot, but she's dead too, i don't like that trend
i need 80 combined points from Frank Gore, Fitzgerald and Veron Davis to survive my pay league.Come on passing shootout

Alright, I just emailed the CJ about adding a webchat or a mic to the table for the reporters/journalists questions during the webcasts that they broadcast. You can never hear the questions being asked.
Courier Journal is pretty much all together a piece of shit.
Here was the response, let's see if anything changes:"Brent, I completely agree with you. I'l talk it over with my folks...thanks for the suggestion...john"
if i didn't have to shit during the day i wouldn't still get it
Douglas you need to get an iphone, its revolutionized shitting.
that is a solid idea, i've actually mulling whether or not i want to get one when i'm due for an upgrade, that might make the decision easier
hey, you might want to hold off on buying a smart phone.There are TONS of rumors of Google releasing their own smart phone that will cost $199 and come with NO contract sometime in January. It's basically the same phone I got which I think works a lot better than the iPhone (or maybe verizon isn't bullshitting about their network). The one problem is that I haven't full adjusted to having a phone that needs to be charged nightly.

sorry, first day I have had internet access in a while. My home PC is dead for the moment and I haven't been at work since Friday.
...and you are leaving your job why? You have the best schedule and you spend all day on Natty Sci and UK boards. Why would you want to give that up?
I do that because I hate my job.And I don't do that all day, just 95% of my time.
Anyone want a couple of tickets to the UL game tomorrow? One of the other residents is not going to use her tickets, so a couple are available if anyone wants.
Is that what the missed call is about? I can't answer my phone without using speaker phone so I didn't answer it while in a training class.
Yes, and damn it you should answer that call while in training. UL basketball is more important than any training. Not really, but let's hope they can pull out a win against Oral Roberts.
anyone else think that tiger woods should just come back to the PGA as "Evil Tiger"? It'd be like what Hulk did.Fuck it - no way he can recover from this. I say embrace it.
Bozich show referenced him coming back not as Tiger but as Eldrick Woods or however you spell his real name. They are saying it is like Urkel on Family Matters going into his vault that transforms him into the stud Stefon. Tiger didn't have affairs...it was Eldrick.
I like the idea of Eldrick - ladies man.So apparently Tiger was all hoped up on adderall and shit during his booty. Wouldn't adderall be a HELL of a drug to be on during golf? Shouldn't that be like the #1 banned substance?

phil, you probably read the sports guy mailbag, he said something along those lines, do like a WWE role reversal from a good guy to a full-fledged heel, divorce his wife and show up to tournaments with a bunch of women on his arms and embrace being a bad boy. ratings would probably go through the roof. he said it might be easier just to enjoy being a bad boy and live it up then spending the next ten years apologizing and watching every word that comes out of your mouth
i actually think it's a good idea really, just say fuck it and play golf, people are already going to have their mind made up, if everyone already hates you, you might as well beat their asses on the course at the same time

It was nice sitting at the same big table as our wing party where we ate $500 worth of wings right next to the picture of Scroggin's wife. I didn't eat just drank beer, but I felt like I needed to shit just by walking back to that same table.
ashley is officially not a hooters girl now, she's an executive assistant at yum now
Once a hooters girl always a hooters girl. Is an executive assistant a secretary?
a glorified secretary, yes. from what i understand she's a personal assistant to one of the COO's I think, started as a part time temp job and they brought her on full time. scroggin's pretty fucking thrilled about it though
Thrilled in a its about time she starts pulling her weight or genuinely thrilled?
both actually, but also that she's not at hooters anymore

When you getting your number retired?
they don't retire numbers at rupp, only jerseys, they'd run out of numbers
That's the difference between UofL fans and UK fans. UofL fans don't have a sense of pride to be one with their team. UK fans live UK basketball and football. If you don't say "we" and you are a UK fan, your fandom is checked.
CFN showing Coach Brooks some love, was named SEC COY.
"We" has nothing to do with fandom and team pride. You can be the biggest fan, but if you didn't play there or go to school there get over it. I don't remember any of you graduating from UK. And "live" football, I don't think so. For the longest time people just showed up to drink at games, and said wait til basketball season.
so being a life-long UK fan, against all instincts, Lynnie (UL fan) and I went to the UL game tonight. We left with 5 minutes left to go and each had a ticket stub worth a free large pizza from Papa Johns and a free queso from Tumbleweed. It was good times watching Papa John himself hit the half court shot that bought each ticket holder a free large pizza. You know that he had to be a little pissed when he hit that shot.
I never redeem my queso ticket stub, or formerly the Rally burger or Qdoba taco.
The game was even better since I realized the Qdoba taco challenge is still around. On top of the pizza and queso, we get a free chips and salsa from the Doba since the Cards scored over 90 points. If we would have scored a few more points, we would have gotten the taco. Is it poor sportsmanship to cheer for 100 points when you're already up by about 30 to get free food? I guess that's better than the sarcastic cheer for free queso in a loss by 20 points.
We're also going to be on TV in a way. Papa John was filming a national commercial at the game to be aired during march madness.
UK + fans = "we" or "us". There is a sense of pride with fans being one with their team at UK. I am sorry that you UofL fans just don't understand it and you never will. It is what it is. So you can go ahead laugh at me because I say "we" call me a dumb hick or whatever else you will. It is what it is, so fuck off.

So with the Big Ten talking expansion, who do you think they pluck away or does it even matter?
And in the who gives a shit department, Derek Character had 15 last night for UTEP vs. Ole Miss.
We're going to beat a dead horse on this subject, but as a fan, you are not really "we." You do not really get to be we unless you are on the team or graduated from the school. Even graduating from the school doen't really count. Do you think the players give a fuck about any of the fans except for self serving purposes? Do you think you have any bearing on the outcome of a game? "We" can be referred to a group of fans, but when your team wins or loses you did not. You can have pride for you team, but you do not have the some part of "we" sitting in the stands or on your couch.Either that or I'm just a jaded, cynical, ass.
Big Ten, who cares? Hoping they don't raid the Big East. And most of teh teams they're taliking about don't really seem to help the football conference too much.
I think you are a cynic. Perhaps if you played at a "legit school" with an athletic department you would feel differently. Or maybe it is your training as a doctor that is causing you to disconnect and compartmentalize the different aspects of your life. Who knows?At the end of the day, we can agree to disagree.
I think playing at a legit school would even more take away from the "we." If I was a D-I player at a legit school and I heard some idiot fan say we it would piss me off. The big lebowski sums it up well: you know the royal we as in I.
You guys are retarded.
I smell bullshit. Can you imagine if you actually played in a stadium that had 24,000 fans from your school or area chearing you on?I wonder if the Marshall football team feels the same way?
There is only one person that can say "I" and that is Atlas.

Well, my fantasy football bench is looking pretty good right now
good for me
Sims-Walker put up 15 for me last night riding the pine.
Who does UK play this weekend? I think the UL-WKU game might be a good one.
I would be excited that Maurice Jones-Drew put up 33.50 for me, except the facet that Manning put up 42.5 for whoever I am playing against.
Actually why are they playing our games for, even though were are eliminated?
consolation bracket, and i think UK plays austin peay
And then UK plays Drexel on ESPNU (with Mashburn as an analyst) as we go for 2000.
I read about the Mashburn analysis. Probably be a train wreck.
he'll have two other people in the booth with him so it shouldn't be too bad
jeannine edwards will be there too, she of billy clyde's meltdown fame
Jeannine Edwards was a UK special guest at a woman's club event that Coach Cal was at. Just another slap in the face at BCG.
harsh words from bob knighthttp://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/...tory?id=4752725
Yes coming from a man that physically abused his players and shoots his friends. I think he should shut the fuck up. He even struck Coach Joe B. Hall in person once. What an assclown.
i saw that, just reminded me why i can't stand him. the last two championships were won by a team that had just gotten off probation (kansas) and the coach that put them there (roy williams) and he calls out UK's integrity, the same guy that talking about integrity that choked players and threw chairs on the court, there's a reason he's not coaching anymore. it's amazing how much more i like indiana now that he's gone
you beat me to it i guess
You like IU with nim gone because now that he is gone because UK can finally beat them. I don't mind Bobby Knight. You know what your getting yourself into when you sign with him. Would I want to play for him, hell no.
I think this headline says it all: "Bobby Knight swings at John Caliparie and Knocks Himself Out"http://ballhype.com/story/bobby-kni...ari-and-knocks/
uh, uk used to kick knight's ass all over the floor, indiana wasn't very relevant his last ten years there, they only stayed in the headlines b/c of his antics. i agree you know what you get with him if you play for him, i was referring more to his mouth and how nothing was ever his fault, to this day he still doesn't take responsibility for his own downfall as a coach and just blamed the administration for getting rid of him, when they gave him way too many chances to change
i like crean a lot, he'll have them relevant again in a couple years, if not next year
Knight is what Knight is. We can leave it at that.
I was glad UK passed Crean over, but I agree. I like Crean and would have been happy with him at UK. Of course, now we have the best recruiter in the land so I am happy with that too.
knight's coming to UK february 13 with espn, should be fun
Also, on ESPN 1st take they said that UK could have Charles Manson as their HC and as long as they won the fans wouldn't care. Fans aren't that happy with that comment. Fans are already emailing UK's AD and the President to look into it.

Come home from work today to see a Blu Ray DVD player box on the front porch addressed to Laura. Assumed it was something else in the box shipped to Laura, but no, it is a BluRay DVD player and we have no clue who it is from. Best secret santa ever.
BluRay is nice. Dark Night just got interupted by EMS and a fire truck. Not looking good for the neighbor across the street. Poor little old lady.
Phil, how did you not post the egg nog challenge?
Joe, that truly is the greatest secret santa ever! I just got a Blu Ray player last week and it is amazing. Just watched "Inglourious Basterds" on it and it was phenomenal.
Phil, do you get NHL network? Definately worth it if you don't already have it. I watched the Leafs and Bruins followed by the Caps and Oilers on "Hockey Night in Canada".
Father Domhoff's mom, the old lady across the street that the ambulance came for Fridat night died Saturday. The BluRay player came from Laura's bro we came to find out.
Can't get the NHL network because Insight is ran by people that care more about cooking and home repair than sports. Only HD hockey I get are the FSN and the rare Blackhawks game on WGN. It's retarded. I need to get me some DirecTV for next season, no doubt.
RIP Britany Murphy. King of the Hill won't be the same.
We have a crazy scoring system in fantasy this year. Philip Rivers has less points then Vincent Jackson, one of his receivers.
rivers got sacked three times and threw two picks so that took off his score, and receivers always more points per yard than QB's in about every league. i had rivers in my pay league going up against jackson too and jackson outscored rivers there as well
Holy crap! Aaron Rogers went for 52 points! Gonna make it to the next round Joe?
I need Ganthers and Tynes to go off for like 80 or something.

Is that a quote from something?If not:Facebook is that thing that you have used in the past to anonymously stalk people. Don't deny it, Phil.
Joe-Let's be honest. You're living it now, too.
And in the news that absolutely pisses me off...Douglas you were right.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3449894...form/?GT1=43001So part of our taxes will go to Nebraska to pay for the Medicaid expansion. Fucking awesome and so much for removing the pork from getting bills passed.At this point, I might even change political parties I am so pissed.
I use Facebook, yes. Do I use Facebook in the ways of Philco in the past, no.
Joe, fancy stuff at all masses Thursday and Friday!!!
Facebook is a place where married people go to flirt with their old high school boyfriend/girlfriend and not feel guilty about it. Then when their marriages really go down the tubes, they call up their old fling to help keep them from feeling fat and ugly. Merry Christmas.
wes, that's not the tip of the iceberg regarding how fucked up that bill is, it raises taxes for four years and nothing is implemented until 2014, and introduces a shitload of taxes that no one's talking about. and you're not the only one that's doing that. every vote on healthcare has occurred in the middle of the night when no one's paying attention, LA is getting over $300 million in pork to get the vote of the LA democratic senator, chris dodd, senator from CT, is getting $100 million to finish building a hospital b/c he's facing a tough re-election next year (against probably wwe's linda mcmahon no less), and nebraska is completely exempt from most of these new taxes in order to get that vote from ben nelson, their senator, so essentially only 49 states are going to pay for this

AMERICA...FUCK YEAH!
happy to have you, it's always fun watching others see the light, once you do you never go back. my mom's another recent convert, she's spent the last year trying to figure out how she ever voted democrat. i hope you enjoy being called a racist and a teabagger by everyone in the media, that's the best part
and i forgot birthers, miitia members, fanatics, and supporters of aryan groups:http://washingtontimes.com/weblogs/...-are-birthers-/
I don't mind the people picking up some money for a hospital and the such, but to have all the other states pick up the tab for Nebraska....I mean c'mon that opens the door up for any and everything in the future.
your innocence is so refreshing. that's the idea, the hospital is a physician owned hospital, which means who stands to benefit the most? the doctors with a stake in it, so they can go back and get doctors support for the healthcare bill, and when re-election time comes, they can say "oh of course i voted for healthcare, look at these doctors that endorsed it, they know better than anybody." there are a lot more examples than just that, the bill that is supposed to be deficit neutral if completely full of handouts. of course it opens the door for more government control, that's the entire idea behind reform. now they can go back and raise taxes on say soda, or fast food, or anything that could potentially be labeled bad for you, all in the name of saving your health. if they're paying for your healthcare, then they're in essence responsible for what you do to your body. so smoking, drinking, any fatty foods, skydiving, driving, flying, anything at all that poses a potential "risk" to your body and/or your health presents an opportunity to be taxed. think of social security, or welfare, unemployment, medicare, or any government program, you start it, then over the years it keeps getting bigger and bigger, so more and more people depend on it. so people become less and less independent and more dependent on government programs. and joe can tell you how efficient the government is at administering its programs. the more you pay attention the more obvious it becomes.
oh I didn't realize it was a physician owned hospital. That sucks. I am just waiting for Texas to start a war. You know they want to.
oh, and all those government programs are bankrupt, including the post office, fannie mae, freddie mac,

Joe B said Knight was always very nice to him early in his tenure as UK's coach b/c indiana was beating UK regularly, but after UK rattled off like 12 out of 15 wins in the series, Knight became increasingly less friendly
Yeah I think Knight won 10 of 27 games against UK....and most of those wins were early.
Speaking of UK, I heard a rumor that the students had purchased 3000 blonde wigs for the UL game. Calipari was right, nothing but class.
atleast UK isn't hosting national adoption day on the same day.
god i hope that's true, that would be awesome
I don't know, right to life rally at the game might be fairly entertaining.
People need to show up to a UK game with a UMass and a Memphis Final Four banner, or fill up a student section with SAT score sheets.
Maybe next year at the new arena when UK comes here. Wait there won't be any students close enough for that to matter.
If UK plays duke in the tournament or some basketball school with a high academic regard, someone should have a sign along the lines of "the guy taking John Wall's SAT wasn't smart enough to get into Duke"
That's pretty funny.....nor is he white enough.
The other one I had was getting good tickets to a college game and wearing UK clothes and having a sign saying "John Wall's agent gave me these tickets for taking his SAT"
"I'm just glad I didn't ask Rick for tickets" is what my sign will read.
indiana was apparently doing a lot of chants along the lines of "cheater" and so forth, and giving it to wall and cousins
This girl at work brought me in a soda called "diet ski." Anyone ever heard of it?
Anybody working? I have full days today and tomorrow with a half day Thursday.
http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/skiSki is distributed regionally in the Midwest and Southeastern United States. Orange and lemon flavorsSki's unique citrus taste is attributed to the perfect combination of real fruit juices, caffeine, and smooth bodySki is most often described as having the ultimate ah factor when quenching your thirst
This place is pretty dead
i'm here today and tomorrow, off thursday, and then out all next week
I have a rough 3 day week next week.
i get to spend my week off painting the basement
Painting it pretty colors for Kaelyn?
i was thinking pink and purple, with a princess mural on the wall
I figured you'd go more with some type of nature scene with animals everywhere. You know, your utopia.
i figure i shouldn't subject my daughter to her father's bestial tendencies. the drywall is up now, they're finishing up the mudding and sanding today and trimwork tomorrow, so I'll paint probably starting this weekend sometime if I can find any time and finish up next week, and they'll come in and construct the bar and put the flooring in, hopefully have it knocked out before new year's
if I had a basement the whole thing would be decorated with this:http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/expl...uper-mario-bros
New Years party at Douglas'!
we just had a conversation at work because this girl's doberman raped her. This other woman chimes in with her dog pins her son down and humps him. So douglas, are the the alpha always or do animal's take advantage of you at times?
"If a dog is humping your leg, you have to knock the crap out of it or it'll do it forever." -Dog whisperer
alpha, always
You should have told the lady that maybe her son wants to be the power bottom
I thought this was funny.Line of the night from the Live Blog came from a reader who said: “UK basketball: From the Drink and Drive to the Dribble Drive”.
Jennings suspended for the Lafayette game.
for what?
violations of team rules.or the "annual pitino suspends someone to make sure everyone knows who is running the show"
Bozich show stated that Pitino said he was planning to start Samuels and Jennings together until the suspension to test that duo.
I overheard a few people at j gumbos today talking how syracuse would romp the cats while they had on their Louisville hats. Some things make me chuckle
basketball jones and their holiday cheershttp://video.thescore.com/watch/the...ingin-the-cheer
Motivation is hard to come by.
Anybody here? Helloooooo?
yeah i'm here, i've spent the last two hours just talking to people, will probably spent the majority of my day doing the same
I'm doing just enough. Dan Patrick show is a decade in review of best and worsts of the decade. Pretty entertaining.
none of us are even pretending to do any work today. all the bosses are gone, and they pretty much told us yesterday not to sweat working today. i'm off all next week, so my motivation isn't very staggering
I've made my monthly production already, but they are pressuring us for our station to meet our monthly goal. It is kind of lame that I must keep working beyond my monthly goal.
new Karate Kid trailer:http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/mov...karate-kid.html
I am here
Out of boredom, lets talk new years. New Years all decade team (people that have made all 9 and better make it to 10):JoeChrisJoannaWesBrockMicheleJayPhil and Brody, I can't remember the first couple if you made it? Did I leave anyone else out?
Has Adrian made them all?
No I don't think he has.
Michelle and I will probably miss this year.Anyone want to get a hoops game together this weekend? I am far less likely to destroy my body on the court than playing flag football.
I am now going to bring some Christmas cheer to the lab mice by stabbing them in the face with a big ass needle. Ho ho ho!
Where are you playing hoops at?
Come on, Brock, we need to renew our shot glass checkers game. Are you all headed to see the Bearcats? Speaking of New Year's, who is going to make it to new years this year? Anyone want to go out Xmas night? THe Big Rock Show is playing at Dutch's. I could be talked in to playing some basketball, but are we really going to play outside? If we're playing outside I'd be more interested in football if we could get the people together.
I'll play.
Basketball indoors somewhere. We have no shot of getting enough people for football. Atleast with basketball we can have brock and his brothers, me and chris and play 3 on 3 or a giant game of 21.
I didn't make it to new years until the third or fourth one
i'll play bball or football
We could show up and play football against those guys I used to randomly play with every week. They still show up to Seneca Park at noon on Sunday.
brohm is practicing with the Bills first team.Brohm vs Redman - SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!
I sRedman starting? I thought Ryan was back.
oh yeah, i forgot ryan shit the bed against the Jets last week
Jeff Brohm just confirmed Phil's statement on the radio
there was a poll on the The Buffalo News website asking who should start. Brohm was winning at 91%. I think it's funny that he's gone from a failure in Green Bay to the great new hope in Buffalo. We are a hopelessly optimistic bunch.
I want TO and Brohm to get into it.
if Brohm checks down as often as he did in Green Bay, then there's a good chance that will happen
I have a lot of potential conflicts with New Years. Potentially going to New Orleans (Getting Bent in N'Awlins vs. Getting Bent in No Tent). Michelle works New Year's Eve and Jan 2. A big party in Nashville for New Years and the Explorer has officially stranded me within the confines of Nashville.Of course, all of the above conflicts are not set in stone, so who knows.
I was thinking about playing bball indoors. One of Chip's friends can get access to the St. Albert gym (or could up until 6 months ago when we last wanted to play). Outdoor ball in the cold kinda sucks, so hopefully the indoor option will be available.How come one of you bastards hasn't made enough money to build an indoor court in their basement?
I remember sitting at your parents house waiting until we decided that your brother's friend was a whore.
I forgot about that time. Thanks for reminding me. I will punch him in the stomach next time I see him.
It is supposed to be rainy over the weekend so outside basketball is a horrible idea. If it snows I am down for football.

WORK IS FUN!
1 hour 15 minutes remaining.
How much is too much to drink before church?
I dislike working today as well.
I guess you're going to church tonight with mom and dad? What time are you headed over?
