Holy shit this place got classy
Didn't notice the www.catscott.com in the corner
Quickest way to hell, taking out the pop:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpDffQJjm9c
best puns I've read on da freaking pope:I thought the Pope was inFALLible."He said she also knocked down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who was taken to hospital for a check up." - I don't think anyone was expecting her to pick up the spareDude called her an "unstable person", but she didn't even fall over. I think the Pope is the real unstable person here.Looks to me like... mass hysteriaand my favorite:Sounds like somebody has been playing a little too much assassins creed 2
top ten nhl plays of the week. check them out only especially if you missed drew miller's goal that i posted earlierhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsgN...e=youtube_gdata
Merry Xmas!
Weren't we supposed to be out doing something this weekend like basketball or football?
If anyone ever uses the auto clean feature on the oven, be careful. I may be dead in an hour from these fumes I am breathing in that are pumping out of my oven. I have the windows open but the wind is blowing the fumes back into the house.I wouldnt mind playing something later today.
Chip played basketball Christmas Eve, so we may be able to get access again today. I'll keep you all posted.
Gym has been in use all day by grade school teams. May have to nix those plans. We are planning to head out later though.
UC is fucked against Florida now that they are going to win one for the gipper. Is this a win or i'll die situation?
ESPN just mentioned bobby petrino to UF.
House is pretty much clean for new years. All we need is food and booze. Any volunteers?
New Years who all is coming and what all are you planning to bring?So far it sounds like:Should we pitch in for a keg for drinking games?Me - chili, high life dogs, a breakfast dish for anyone that crashes and wants it and the houseChris - meatballs, shrimp and jello shotsCuban - Tortilla chips, queso and rumDo you all want the Jager Machine hooked up? I have about half a fifth of jager and a few red bulls. if so who wants to bring Jager and Red bull? Also, Brock isn't coming so who is bringing champagne for drink its tradition? Just trying to tie up some loose ends? Chips and soda are needed as well.
unfortunately i'm out this year
you suck
wish i could disagree
i will be bringing jalepino thingies, and other snack food. and beer.
the entire fantasy football season comes down to the very first pick in the draft. need about 30 from AP tonight
Phil crushed me in the 3rd place game. I didn't stand a chance.

So did anybody else watch the UK-Clemson game? I know when UK (we) got the ball on the their side of the field and we went 3 and out we were fucked.On a side note, having the wind gusts up to 23 mph with already an erratic passer is not a good thing.
I turned the game off at the end of the 3rd quarter when there was a clock issue, timeout, penalty that wasn't a penalty and all kinds of other delays. I believe Brooks called a timeout with 2 seconds left in the quarter so that Clemson would be punting into the wind instead of letting the clock run out and pinning them deep.
Adrian, you in the office this week?
yeah, it wasn't a pretty game. i was confident as hell when UK scored at ease on the first drive, but they never got that back. clemson kept UK in the game with a lot of penalties, UK had a chance to bring it close on two seperate drives in the fourth quarter, but randall cobb dropped an easy pass on a third down conversion so they had to punt, and of course the fumble mccaskill lost. I wasn't too optimistic about the game, clemson's not a bad team, could easily be in a BCS bowl. what's more encouraging is that all the key components on offense will be back, newton's progressed a lot since his first start and is showing signs of being a very good, versatile QB, cobb of course is a stud, locke will be back, along with all their receivers.
how about meyer pulling a billy donovan and changing his mind...something about those FL coaches
fucking receivers need to learn to catch the ball.
Yep
I just think Urban Meyer knows next year could be a down year.
that's what happens when you lose jesus as your QB
Calipari taking next year off after John Wall leaves?
a lot easier to reload in bball. if you thought this year's recruiting class was good, wait until the 2011 class, juniors now. The #1, 2, and 3 recruits are all heavy UK leans. Michael Gilchrist is that year's John Wall and everyone has pretty much UK penciled in already, and the #3 guy, Quincy Miller, has posted videos on his twitter doing the john wall dance. calipari will be okay for a few years
I thought there was no other John wall?
you are correct, my mistake. john wall is the black tebow, he does no wrong. but gilchrist is that year's unquestionable #1 player
Kind of like Samardo Samuels, top high school player in the nation.
kinda like derrick caracter and brandon bender too, weird how they only flame out at UL
i've missed shit talking, couldn't do it the last couple years, and it just felt wrong to do it during football season, like kicking a dead puppy
Everybody can't be Sebastian Telfair and Amir Johnson
If Derrick Mason wasn't a retard and could catch an open pass, I would have the Fanatasy Football championship locked up and the Steelers would be out of the playoff hunt. Ryan Grant picking up 2 more yards would have also netted an additional 7 points.
This season was a disaster. I wouldn't say I had a bad team, I blame the scheduling comittee.
i tried the fiery grilled wings from kfc. they are quite tasty. Full of shit about them being healthy. One wing has 4 grams of fat (the regular hotwings have 5), and have 50mg more sodium than the hot wings too.But they were yummy.
Whatever we ate on Saturday night kicked my ass on Sunday.
I passed out on the couch Saturday night. I was waiting to hear from Paul and/or Barry who were in town. I liked some of the texts I got.
my stomach was too full of booze to be hurt by any food on Sunday.I slept until 5pm.
rumors of Andree McGee coming back to do some coaching for Louisville...
why?
who knows. I know that Pitino has dumbed the press way down - maybe he's coming in to help with that.
I just want a Carlton dance.
so I am working on NYE, when do festivities start?
I am leaning towards anytime after 6ish. What does anyone think about that? i figure that will give us plenty of time to drink after we get things ready and I believe Laura is working on Thursday for a while too.
i will probably be there at 7ish after I prepare the delicious food
awesome.
I am ready to drink Thursday. Mentally I am ready to drink Thursday, physically, it might be a disaster.
This kind of sucks since they were a pretty good band. Avenged Sevenfold drummer dead at 28.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3461780...music?GT1=43001
sorry joe, miscommunication. thought you were going to call me. saw Avatar with Kim and the fam.
Is it any good?
That really sucks about Avenged Sevenfold. They are about one of the only "newer" bands that I really liked. Joe-I liked Avatar, but I don't know if you would like it. I recommend seeing it in 3D if you do.
Jay, you coming thursday?
You know I will.
Fuck yeah. I had my doubts, but you stepped up. Strong work Jay.
Joe hit me up when you want to do lunch
I got plans today already. Tomorrow is my last work day of the week. Lets shoot for next week.
pretty good. only if you like sci fi though
is it new years yet, this place is driving me to drinking.
this was on drew maggary's twitter feed: "Purple Jesus has holes in his hands like real Jesus."
Happy Birthday Phil Scott, may he stalk women for another 31 years.
Is it today? I knew it was inbetween Christmas and new year. Happy birthday. Any plans?
wicks. get drunk
the more the merrier, btw
Is this the 7:00 Wicks trivia?
yeppers
Happy birthday Phil.Congratulations to me on a Fantasy Football league championship thanks to Adrian Peterson's fumble in OT last night.
you guys got luck that Joe and I got hosed in the playoffs. Two best teams my ass.Oh, and thanks for the birthday wishes, fuckers!
Must have been a fluke that the team sitting atop the standings all season wins the title. Allow me to gloat on this since I usually get screwed over by Joe in the playoffs.
I still blame the scheduling committee. I believe I was tops in points.

TOTAL TRIVIA DOMINATION! Who knew that Birthday drunk Phil, Brent, Trivia Laura, Laura and I could be so smart?
i'm hearing some pretty significant rumors that UK boosters don't want Joker Phillips and are pushing for Mike Leach if he gets fired...
Phil, you are alive and moving this early?
i'm an old man now. that's what we do
It's good to see you're still alive, Phil. You're an old man like me, now. It is a frigging ghost town at work today.
Wooooo, it's my Friday! 1 day till New Years Eve. Get psyched! Shot through the heart.....!
I burnt the roof of my mouth on Wicks pizza last night. Go figure.
Brock - Technically you weren't atop all season. Somehow my band of merry assclowns was in first place for a week or two.
Happy Birthday Philco. Sorry I was off yesterday and don't have a functional PC at home at the moment.
I need a drink followed by a vacation.
Oh and every UK fan's favorite son of a prophet is leaving Illinois.In news that his mother Tweeted out three years ago, Alex Legion is leaving Illinois after one year and his future destination is unknown. You may remember Legion as a Clyde recruit who committed to Michigan, then decommited…came to UK and then left after one semester. It looks as if Illinois didnt work for him either and now he is headed to another pasture that may or may not be greener. At least his shoes will be blessed by his mother the Prophet.
You can get Civilization IV for $6.79 or $13.60 for Civ IV with all the addonshttp://store.steampowered.com/app/3900/
Brock - Cinci can go after Mike Leach now. Word on the street be he got canned.
Shit nevermind, didn't they hire the guys from CM?
Turns out today is my fridya. The old man is letting us have off tomorrow.
ESPN just broke Leach is gone. Leach's lawyer states "the fight has just begun." He was do an $800,000 bonus tomorrow if he coached.
Yep.
He put the wrong kid in the closet. His dad is the ESPN analyst for college football, lots of opportunity for bad publicity all the way around.

murder spree?
Good thing it is the last day of the work week for me. Rage Against the Machine Killing in the Name of came on the radio on my way home and made it better.it was already an obnoxious week, then I got a call into a supervisors office. He was on the phone. He put it on speaker phone with the Lexington hospital. They were wondering what happened to this case. I was labelled the idiot prematurely. In the long run it turned out I had sent a case back to a guy to send back to the hospital because he scheduled the veteran for the wrong exam. The guy reordered the same wrong exam. The hospital called him and said I told him to and that he would talk to me and get it straightened out. He then ordered a different wrong exam and the hospital called him back. he threw me under the bus and said he talked to me and I told him to do it. On speaker hone I had no clue all this happened and I told them I hadn't spoken to this guy all week and then I told them I would figure it out. Turns out I save all documents and I went back and read my exact directions I told him to the hospital over the phone and my directions said to order the correct exam all along and the guy is just an idiot. after further investigation the guy had spoken to the wrong joe in the office and the other joe had actually told him the same thing my directions said.
beer, drink it, its good, beer.
grant writing is fun
I bet
No, grant writing is super fun. As in the same kind of super fun it is to drop a cement block on your testicles.
a good write up on the house that frank of genny's just can't get rid ofhttp://brokensidewalk.com/2009/12/3...t-avenue-house/
Joe, if you aren't working today, does the party start earlier.I still won't be able to make it, but someone should definitely buy a giant bottle of cheap champagne and pass it around.
Carl, you shall be eating your words... funny words though...http://video.adultswim.com/carl/car...ml?cid=FBAUCTAD
Phil, the beef jerky guy has a fan page on Facebook
Brock, you suck. Show up.
Hey Brock, I am trying for a post doc position in Maryland. Got any advice on job boards? I've been hitting mostly Science, Chronicles of Higher Education, Texas A&M, some marine boards...
Biocareercenter.com, NatureJobs.com, Biospace, nationalpostdoc.orgAre you looking to work with the group doing the environmental study on Chesapeake Bay? I've heard a lot of money is going into that.
Joe, if they ever take on my idea to build super-trains or monorails between cities, I'd be there. The 3 hour drive would just waste my day off tomorrow.
Yeah its work in the Chesapeake. They have huge problems with oysters and blue crabs. I study both
have fun tonight boys
Buzz accomplished. Here I come Thunderdome.
I just realized I will be celebrating an hour later than you all. Kickass!
Holy shit. How am I stll alive> America@ Fuck yea!
I stopped broadway from a riot by offtering my face to be punched, but no one had the marlbes. RAOR!
I am never getting out of bed
kitchen picked up. I have all kinds of cuts on my hands but I dont know what from. I am also bleeding profusely from my foot from just stepping on glass. House has not yet burnt down from the electrical mishap yesterday. Disaster avoided.
I can bring chili queso, and booze and cookie/cookie cake to whomever is hosting UL/UK game tomorrow
How many people trashed your place?
I'd say in the 25-30 range?
last thing i remember was beer pong with champagne.woke up with the hangover about 15 minutes in by myself. how the fuck that happened i have no clue
You had me set up the DVD player so you could watch the hangover
huh
Joe,you going over lynnie and cheryls tomorrow? if so can you bring the redbridge gluten free beer jess brought over last night?
Hippie
Happy new year Natty Sci...looks like the GBITT traditions are still going strong, at least if Phil's latest posts are any indication!
Bearcat wins Mascot of the Year!http://www.capitalonebowl.com/
I will bring teh entire cooler of beer over as well as the cookie cake and possibly some other food I have left over.
Everyone is welcome to come over to our place for the game tomorrow. There will be a good mix of UK and UL fans so tempers aren't welcome =) Call for directions if you need to. We will have some appetizers and can order pizza if you want.
Someone should call Brock, he might try to hurt himself
Wow, I'm getting harassed by all these UK fans. Didn't Clemson just embarrass you all?
damn this is ugly, although i'll cut cinci some slack, no head coach...the difference is clemson was thisfar away from playing in a BCS bowl but bowden retiring screwed them, so they dropped to the music city, that's the ACC's #2 team. clemson is no doubt better than UK, but it was far from an embarrassment. florida is flat out demolishing cinci, up 27 so far before halftime
and besides, the football team was playing without john wall, so expectations were far lower
damn that was a hit!
i know exactly what hit you are talking about.
Uk football with john wall - great team or greatest team ever?
John Wall in a rocking chair vs. Tim Tebow?
The fans at Kentucky have always been the classiest fans in the country,” Calipari said. “Always. And my hope is that it's that way. But if it's not? I'm coaching a basketball game. I will not look at the seats. I never do. At that point, I'm coaching my team. I'm not the Rupp police; I'm coaching my basketball team.”Class speaking about class
Thugs! Thugs! Thugs! Thugs! Thugs!
guess who scored tickets to the Sugar Bowl last night...but left at halftime. It was still fun to watch the game in the dome. Sorry Brock my tigers lost yesterday too if it makes you feel any better
Eh, basketball season is underway and the Bearcats just knocked off the #10 team, so at least there isn't much of a hangover.I do have to say that the UK-UofL game is more brutal than the UC-Xavier game this year. It surprises me how a class-act player like Patterson doesn't rub off just a little on Cousins. That boy has some issues.
wow, bad game!! No intensity at all from Louisville. Edgar Sosa is a garbage basketball player...can we give his scholarship to someone else?
When is football season?
Adrian, i still have the gluten free beer in my cooler
fuck bobby petrino
i love everyone calling cousins a thug, i fucking love it. he got kneed in the head, and yet he's the thug b/c of the forearm, i fucking love being back. i've never had as much fun on the internet as i've had since the game was over. i'll take his thug ass along with his 18 and 18 all the way to the next NBA draft. so glad the rivalry's back, that game was getting boring
Yeah they have a picture of the knee to the head on the C-J. Only thing better would have been if Sosa was on the receiving end of that forearm.
i was disappointed with the way UK played, they didn't play well at all, but with that said great teams win the ugly games. i'm happier since the game was over, i've heard more hating on UK in the last couple hours than i've heard all year, that alone makes it worth it
The forearm looked a little more deliberate then the knee to the head. I will let the neutral Brock make the final decision since he knows a thing or 2 about thug basketball being a bearcat fan.
Honestly no one at Lynnies even mentioned a knee to the head that I recall. This was the first I heard of the knee to the head. Adrian never even mentioned it.
Cousins forearm bouncing a guys head off the floor after a whistle is okay yet Laettner stepping on a guy isn't?
the reason you didn't hear about it is b/c the only angle that CBS showed you could see the forearm clearly, but they played it at another angle only once, where you could clearly see the knee. here's a picture:http://www.courier-journal.com/apps...0012&Ref=PHthat's why he didn't get ejected, if it was just the forearm i'd agree with you, he shoulda been gone, but he retaliated. he also got pushed twice when he stood up. they kept talking about the damn forearm, but never bothered to show the replay that clearly showed the knee more than once, and of course kellogg wasn't going to say anything to support or defend UK. we were yelling at the TV for them to show it again and they never didand yes, the knee was just as deliberate, his had no reason to kick his knee all the way up to cousins' face
and laettner never got touched before 'the stomp' so your comparison is irrelevant
who gives a shit, UK won.
I wish Laettner would stomp Sosa's face.
fan video of knee-forearm.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8Dc...=youtu.be&a
ESPN is bad mouthing UK on Outside the Lines about how they dumped all the scholarship players when Calipari came in.
What happened in the beginning that got Bledsoe so riled up? I missed that...btw, did the elbow ever hit him? It looked liked it missed anyway.
bledsoe and delk and sosa were running it, they only showed bledsoe on TV. that ESPN piece has been a long time coming too
It is all just one big anti UK conspiracy.
Apparently jawing started during warm-ups and UofL basketball players were yelling we're bad muther fuckers before the game. I just wonder if UofL can sustain that attitude...if so, they won't get completely destroyed in the Big East.
Alright, I just watched that fan video of the "knee to the head." If that was intentional, it was the weakest kick I've ever seen (which wouldn't surprise me coming from a skinny guy). However, its obvious the reason his knee came flying up is because of the body blow Cousins delivers as he is diving onto the ball. Conclusion: reflex.There were actually two forearms delivered in the scuffle by Cousins: one unintentional and one intentional. Therefore, both UK and UofL fans have a Cousins' forearm that they can point to as evidence.
I'm waiting for Douglas to start posting fuzzy videos claiming that he saw bigfoot.
or wes
bigfoot would've just eaten swopshire for a snack. but yeah, i'm over the whole knee/elbow thing, the refs made the right call, people can keep calling us thugs, i don't give a shit. talked to my aunt who was there, she saw smith and sosa running thru UK's layup lines and bumping cousins during warmups, the cameras never got that, and forget the courier, in every single article this morning they talked about the forearm, but not once mentioned the knee in any of them. the knee wasn't the hardest hit ever, but neither was the forearm, cousins could've easily knocked swopshire's skinny ass the fuck out. i forgot this is always what happens when UK's on top, just happy to be back to being the most hated (well 2nd most, there's always duke). hope you UL fans enjoy your only trip into national relevance this season, we'll be there all year
the media's just running out of wall is the greatest freshmen ever stories, so now they need a new template, cousins the thug is it. nothing he does off the court speaks to that.
It's not that Cousin's is a thug, but he whines like a little bitch. With as much as he cries, you'd think he wasn't a fucking giant out there. At least he doen't play like a little bitch like UL's "big" man. Samuel's might actually turn out to be a decent player if he grew a fucking pair and played like a man.
Retardo Samuels lacks spurtability
and a spectaculating presence
He does have a tremondous upside potential
great length
Dribble Drive.
Cousins a thug? I say fuck that. Cousins just doesn't back down and why should he? He is 6'11" and 270 pounds of whip your ass. Not since Magloire have I ever been so happy with one of our centers. All non-UK fans love the days when Sheray "Canadian" Thomas and Bobby "The Future" Perry manned the middle. Because they were soft. Smaller opponents constantly hit Cousins; him reacting doesn't make him the bad guy. If you don't want Cousins taking care of business then don't hit him, it's really that simple. I'd rather be the thug than the bitch. There's a reason why Doug Christi is famous. Pitino's plan was brilliant, foul the shit out of everybody, slow the game down, and try to piss Cousins off. Well they might of pissed him off but he settled down and manned the middle to 18 and 18.
And this is why I love him.http://blog.al.com/press-register-s...sins_on_th.htmlMobile's Demarcus Cousins told Jason King of Yahoo! Sports he is not planning to change the way he plays as he steps out onto the court for the Kentucky Wildcats.In other words, he's making no apologies for the temper of physical style of play he brought to the game during his high school years at LeFlore in Mobile.King's article -- headlined "Relating to Cousins," and you can read it online at Yahoo ! Sports -- points attention to the 6-foot-11 freshman's temperament during his high school days.Don't expect anything different on the college court, Cousins told King."On the court," Cousins says in the Yahoo! Sports article, "I'm a bada**. I'm mean. I'm there to cut your throat. I'm not there to be nice. Off the court, I'm cool. I'm chill. I play around with you. I'm nothing like people say I am. Anyone that's taken the time to get to know me will tell you that.""But on the court ... like I said, I'm there to cut your throat."
word be brooks coming back next year, presser at 11am
Thanks Douglas - I saw the presser but these homos on here got me distracted talking about our man DC.
whas just said on the radio they're expecting him to announce him to stay, which i've been thinking he's gone, so who knows
a herald leader columnist just posted that brooks is gone, so i don't think anyone has a clue
I would think a press conference says he is is gone, but who know's? If he is announcing he is staying, then I am guessing he will be announcing he is staying for 1 more year then turning if over to Joker (for recruiting purposes I guess).
I am looking at purchasing a new tv for a bedroom. I am looking at a TV in the 32 inch range that can mount to the wall. What are anybodies thoughts on 720p vs 1080p for a 32 inch TV for a bedroom and does anybody know how much a month it is for a 2nd HD box from insight? I am seeing 720p in the 350 range and 1080 in the 550 range. is the $200 worth it for a second TV for the bedroom?
on a 32 inch screen do not pay the extra for 1080p, go with 720p, the difference between the two isn't really noticeable until you get to bigger TV's. i just got a panasonic 32" 720 for my bedroom a couple months ago and everything I read about 32" is that it's pointless to pay the extra $ for a 1080p. also according to the guys at best buy, the difference between the brands at that size are very minimal, so whether you do panasonic / sony / samsung whatever, they'll all pretty much be the same. the differences occur on the larger screens. no idea on the HD box prices though, I still don't have HD, not going to get it until I upgrade the TV in my living room and get one for the basement
i wanna say i spent like 380 or so on mine, though all the prices were pretty comparable, probably a bit cheaper right now as they're on sale thru the holidays and for the super bowl
That is what I was thinking, 720 vs 1080 on a smaller TV doesn't matter and the post holiday super bowl sales might be nice.
and brooks is gone
Email received at work today:So Saturday night me and a couple of my buddies go up to BJ's in Oxmoor Mall to eat some dinner after the game. And low and behold they sit Charlie Strong and his entourage at the table right next to us...I could reach out and touch him. Well, we finally decided that if we did not ask for a picture or say something we would all regret it. So before he started eating I went up to him, because I have no shame in situation like these haha, I said that we are really excited about next year and how happy we are to have him as a coach shook his hand and ask him if we could get a picture with him. Well after he crushed my hand with his handshake he said sure not a problem. He is a super nice guy and now I have a picture with him. if you want to come down and shake my hand that is cool with me.

strong seems like a genuinely nice guy, hopefully for you guys he's a cross between krag's personality and petrino's ability
I'll be honest, I like the Strong hire a lot.
Joe - you should go shake his hand. Then you can be a celebrity and be the guy that met the man that met Charlie Strong.
more adventures in eating lunch.today I try the new domino's pizza. Nicole began making my custom order at 1:21.
already in the oven. I'm excited.
uh oh. the pizza just went from quality check back into the oven
wait, this bitch nicole has the order as being put in the oven at 1:42. She's a witch!
Satisfaction is guarenteed. Be careful
well at least I know it won't be underdone
double checking the order for the second time. come on nicole! I have faith!
Todd has left the building!
huh, it says it is here. i don't believe them
still not here. I beginning to worry about Todd
uh oh. i wrote the wrong cell phone number. I am at fault!
pizza is here. it's a miracle.
John Wall would have had your pizza made and to you before your order was in but then Demarcus cousins would have knocked it to the floor, spit on it and then made you eat it anyways.
in either case it gets there faster than what todd got it there

nice article about rail in Louisvillehttp://brokensidewalk.com/2010/01/0...t=Google+Reader
Check out the view from the new arenahttp://www.seats3d.com/ncaa/univers...ens_basketball/
my question on that house is what is up with the enormous driveway?
It appears the house has a 1 car garage that was converted into a room and the driveway was merged with walkway to the front door.
email I received at work today:Did you hear Emily Ramser is engaged…?
that was fast
john wall's the new SI coverboy
A'doy. It even looks like they put windows on a garage door in that picture. I bet that room they added is a shithole.I wonder what it would cost to undo that abortion of an addition. No wonder there are no additional pictures with the listing.
There is a cool deck on the back and there is an upstairs bedroom with a door to the back with a little balcony that is pretty interesting to say the least. Other then what the house looks like from the back I can't really say much about it. I believe Winchester has a few houses that did that renovation of the 1 car garage. I bet the room is only accessable through the kitchen as well, kind of odd.
no basement means there is no major concern with the river that runs through my yard.
I guess you could turn bizarro garage into a mancave. It'd be above ground, so I guess it would be the man-grotto or something to that extent.
we need another flood, that was fun. suburban canoeing at its finest
http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpps/news/of...-manure_5415058this is sweet
That's a pretty shitty birthday message if you ask me. Why shorthand it?
The house on one side recently sold so I don't know them, the other side is an old lady that I get along with well. then behind it you have Mr. Preher, Nancy and me. Can't ask for much better neighbors.
A negative about that house are the annoying dogs all over the place behind that house.

John Wall Declares Intention to Enter Drunken Freshmanhttp://www.sportspickle.com/article...runken-freshman
I agreed to do a skit at work on the grounds that in the script it was required that I say "how u doin'" since my supervisor writing the script randomly decided to call me Joey Tribiani from Friends. I bailed on the skit when she informed me that my character was Spock and she couldn't write that line into the script and I would be required to wear tape on my ears like Spock. Good move? I draw a line on stupidity at work since unlike Phil I can't drink at work.
ah, the deadspin mailbag. so much better than the sports guy. how i lived without you, i'll never knowhttp://deadspin.com/5440710/you-can...eadspin-mailbag
Yeah I say good mood. I mean we don't mind making asses of ourselves, but save a little face.
shit good move.
My Wednesday morning can be summed up by this work email:Good Morning and happy Wednesday. Kindly "read and heed" the following:The 4th floor unisex restroom is designated for wheelchair use only. I just want everyone to be clear that you are to use one of the other restroom facilities unless you are in a wheelchair. I've not been advised of any exceptions.If any one is unclear about which restroom is designated for wheelchair use only, then please me. Likewise, please let me know if you see anyone using this facility other than those in a wheelchair.Let's be respectful of those who really need this facility.
Is the wheelchair only restroom next to the coloreds only one too? What if you roll over to that restroom in your office chair - does that count?
If you want, I can come over to your office and drop a ball full of crude oil out of the window.
i guess the obvious question is how many handicapped people work there? that is a bunch of bullshit though, political correctness at its finest
One.
The funny thing is that we have gotten this email before and it didn't stop people so they put up a sign and that didn't stop people so they sent out another email.
i like the idea of rolling over in your chair
or bring crutches to work to keep in your office, and whenever you need to use the restroom, hop on your crutches and fake a bum knee
interesting, avatar is really pocahontas in disguise:http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/01/04...neys-pochontas/
or just dispose of the one handicapped person. Problem solved.
so the cowbell girl is blind:http://deadspin.com/5440385/last-ni...hot-enthusiasts
Okay, I'll be the asshole. Can blind people not smile?
it's okay, you can be the asshole. i'm sure she just didn't know the cameras were on her
Maybe she uses that sonar tracking ability and she was just really confused with all the sound waves and all.
I just peeled an orange and a bunch of worms fell out on my desk.
I'm never eating oranges again.
anybody else see where PETA's trying to put a statue of a bloody chicken on crutches downtown? those people are insanehttp://www.courier-journal.com/apps...AID=20101030336
That's awesome. Maybe they will make it out of metal so some fool can jack it and sell it to a recyclying company.
i would make a trek downtown to specifically buy a bucket of chicken at lunch, sit in front of it and eat the whole fucking thing, and leave the bones on top of it
4th and Market is my bus stop and the proposed site of the chicken. That would be awesome.

phil, LA's trying to poach your team:http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/sh...?urn=nfl,212070
those dicks!
you know the Bills are praying it's them.
i would guess the Jags would be the more likely culprit to get moved, at least initially. They've been trying to get a new stadium financed and it ain't gonna happen, and they have zilch for fan support
of course L.A.'s been trying to get a team unsuccessfully for a long time now, so I don't see it happening for awhile
I was thinking from the player's standpoint. Stay up north and play in the snow or move to L.A.
TO in LA would be AWESOME!
Shit I didn't even think about that. I think we found a city big enough to house his ego......maybe.
Cornell up on #1 Kansas at the half. The upset could help UK.
Damn TARC bus was a half hour late.
JCPS should have closed just to get a few people off the road. It isn't that bad out, just people freak out. Get teh buses off teh road and a few people not going to work to watch their kids and everything would have been fine.
I had no problems getting into work at all...maybe 20 minutes later than I typically would. For the people having problems in the snow, they need to check their tire tread to see if their tires are bald.
dropping kaelyn off at school was fine, it was getting from her school to work that sucked b/c i got stuck behind 3 separate buses, a 10-15 minute drive took me almost an hour
I had a yellow cab that was basically driving 5-10 mph and just spinning his tires the whole time. The asshole needs to sink about 400 bucks into his car for new tires. Fucking jerk.
Sorry if I am a little bitter but stupidity really gets me going.
I tried to spin out in the K-Mart parking lot waiting for my bus and couldn't
Abby and I rode together today just so she didn't have to walk 4 blocks in the cold....so we have the AWD car out but it truly is mind boggling.
Looks like public schools are dismissing an hour early ... http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/
when i dropped off kaelyn her principal told us they wouldn't close early, even if JCPS did. said it would inconvenience too many parents
there are people here scrambling trying to figure out what to do with their lil' bastards.
in other news, carpet's down, so the basement for all intents and purposes is done. he's coming by to put the finishing touches on, doorknobs, vents, bar top, etc., but it's usable now
Party at Douglas'?
right now it's nothing but a play room for kaelyn, just paid to have it done, it ain't furnished yet, so it's pretty much just a fancy storage room. eventually though yes
ran home for lunch, secondary roads are total shit
So my credit card bar code is damaged so it won't go through any machines. I called Mastercard to order a new one and I had to give my info to 4 different people on the phone. So I either ordered a new credit card or just went through I very fancy credit card stealing scheme. I hope it is the first one.
I got a phone call this morning saying "Hey, we got you scheduled for a washing machine repair job." So I thought "whoops, wrong number"And then the guy says "I just can't find your address on our GPS. We got you as living on ____" and said my addresses.I have no idea how this could have happened. I think it might have been some weird scam or something. Very weird.
Totally took a snow day. The parking lot and danger hill are a mess over by my place. I am not a good enough driver on a RW car right now to deal with it if I don't have to. Poor accord frooze up on me. Guess I forgot to put anti-freeze in it. Whoooooooooops.
My car is probably buried at the bust stop. Rolling down Breckinridge when I get off the bus in a truck with no weight. Could be fun.
hunsinger was a little tricky when i went home at lunch, there's a pretty big dip in the middle that was slow getting to the top
Phil, don't kill the Accord just yet. I think Michelle really wants to take it for a test drive.
I miss the snow. Tennessee closed schools last night and when I got up this morning, not a bit of snow on the ground. We have gotten a dusting, but that's it. I looked at the Cincinnati news and they are declaring snow emergencies. Its so lame in the winter down here.
Buses are running 15-25 minutes behind which, like a resteraunt, means more like 30-45 minutes at the least.
Are you sure the battery just isnt dead? You havent driven it in months, might just need a jump.
We established following the bachelor party in Memphis that Phil might not know how to jump a car.
it's definitely not the battery. pretty sure the fuel line is frozen right now. i tried it a while ago to see if I couldn't get it started to head up to trivia but it was a no go.it'll be fine in a week or two, I suppose. Smells like hockey stuff though.
best part of the bowl games? how taco bell employee denise.
hot! damn it
great onside kick. wow.
refs sure are helping bama here...
i take back what i said about this being a shitty bowl game
barry - honest to god, i've heard rumors that good ol' Kragthorpe is gonna OC at LSU
yeah that was a rumor too. 1) they haven't fired Crowton yet. Rumors flying, just rumors. 2) Hired WR coach Gonzales from UF to be "passing game coordinator"-pretty lateral move if you ask me. If I had money I'd say either Crowton stays or if he goes Gonzales is the new OC
I am considering trying to get my X-box 360 repaired. Anyone know of a place to take an X-box 360 to be repaired or does anyone recommend shipping it somewhere? Any thoughts at all?
I think Microsoft has a monopoly on that stuff. What's it doing?
http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/20...-jim-leavitt%2FJim Leavitt fired.I haven't used it in over a year since it started freezing up and went all rings of death or something. There are random places that you can ship it to to fix it for a fee. I'd prefer taking it to a place that I recognize instead of shipping it off somewhere. I called microsoft once and they were making me jump through hoops and stuff to try and fix it over teh phone and it was a mess.
yeah, when I called them they had me jump through the hoops too.I felt like the guy in the KFC in the family guy "I tell you it dead!"But they eventually mailed me a box, and then I had to mail it back to them. But it was still under warranty and stuff I think.This dude has a way to repair a broken one: http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repai...x-clamp_fix.htmWho knows if it works. My buddy Dave says it does
I know Joker Phillips has already let two assistant coaches go, Petri and Heggins. Both were solid coaches, but neither recruited worth a damn. Speculation is that many more will be let go.
Yeah, sucks to be theme but one was so old and the other had some personal stuff that kept him from traveling. Uk always did have solid line play though
at this point though the only way to get over that hump they're stuck on now is recruiting. they've proven to be a decent mid-level SEC team that's capable of never being an easy win, but to win all of those games that they've been in position to win, they just need better players and more depth. they've already proven they can coach the hell out of 2-star recruits, that only gets so far in that conference
plus with charlie strong now at UL, they're going to have more competition for the top in state recruits
tyler smith booted from Tennessee bball
Joe - you probably have to send your xbox into microsoft. what is wrong with it?
It freezes after a couple minutes. it is one of the 3 or 4 rings or death. It has been broken for a year. Cuban bought a new one when mine broke and after he moved I never brought mine back out and just decided that maybe I should get it fixed.
is it the breaking benjamin one?
yep.
I have guitar hero, smackdown, madden and nhl hockey and 2 controllers that I let Cuban take since I didn't have a working xbox 360. I thought it would be nice to have a working Xbox 360 and get all my stuff back eventually. I was curious whether i could actually get it fixed or whether I would be better off just buying a new one.
I would contact microsoft and see if it is still under warranty, same thing happened to ours and it was under warranty, they sent me a box to mail it in. They changed out the fan for free and mailed it back to me in a few weeks.
Mine was off warranty so I bought a 360 arcade. I had the hard drive and wireless chumpies from my old one that worked fine - i just swapped them out.
you can get an xbox 360 elite (comes with a 120gb hard drive) and two games for $240 at amazon right now. It also comes with a year of xbox live. That's a heck of a deal.What's gay is that the 360 doesn't do wireless out of the box so you also have to buy that adapter or run a cable into your spare bedroom if you want to play online or download new songs for rock band or shitty little games like Peggle.
I really don't do all the wireless, hard drive or xboxlive stuff. I just want it for Smackdown and Guitar Hero
is there anything else really?
I can get into madden occasionally and hockey is always a blasy on video games. I wanted to get a baseball game but my xbox died.
the only reason the internet is good is because you can download free demos of games and some cheap $5 games that are pretty solid. I never play on the internet, although Cheryl almost has me convinced to buy Call of Duty
was over at dino's when he was playing call of duty and it looked pretty cool, i can't get into much more than what joe was talking about
true. For $80 I could justify it. But for Joe or you it's probably retarded.But if it was built in they'd be more likely to get more sales because a lot of people view it as "I don't really play games online" but they are missing out on a lot. For example, I can stream Netflix movies or movies I downloaded to my computer to it. Kinda nice.
whenever i end up getting a couple new TV's I want one of those new ones that you can stream netflix directly to
Ty's Xbox had the same issue. He followed the online repair and fixed it. That lasted about 6 months before it completely pooped out.I saw that the new Madden has a cool Xbox Live feature where you can play dynasties with your friends. They even have weekly highlights from the previous games so you can gloat.
well this is awkward.I can't get my car up the hill into my condo. Tires won't grip. Then it got stuck trying to get into the kroger parking lot in a bunch of slush and ice. I had to turn off the limited slip differential and just slide the ass end of the car in.The car came from Georgia, so I'm assuming the person who previously owned them had summer tires. God damn it.
ok, tire's scheduled to be replaced. now i just need to hope that no one broke into my car down in the kroger parking lot while it sat overnight.
Even though the Explorer can't go in reverse or faster than 35mph, the 4-wheel drive still works, so I've got that going for me.
fun fact: I can drive it in in reverse in the snow just fine. The weigh shift to the back gives it enough grip that the LDS doesn't engage and shut off the power to the drive train. Hopefully Kroger isn't too busy so I can back around easily...
disregard that. I parked on an incline with the car facing forward. Can't pull out of the spot. I am stick in a tenth of an inch of slush.The tires are slick as shit. Not totally surprised.
Well, well.... hello Georgia.
something found on the interweb:woman asks the basic why is it ok for a man to be a whore but not a women?response = "if a key can open a bunch of locks, its viewed as a master key and is awesome to have. but if a lock is opened by a lot of different keys, well thats a pretty shitty lock if you ask me."http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/....asp?p=17390487
I saw "the dude" from the Big Lebowski on the strip in Vegas this weekend!
Sorry to hear about all the weather woes y'all have been having back east...btw, today it was 76 and not a cloud in the sky in beautiful San Clemente...beach weather in January.
oh, and to weigh in on the video game system argument...although I'm sure Phil knows all the technical ins and outs way better than I do, I actually prefer PS3. I had a 360 and I finally got rid of it in favor of the PS3. It's net ready out of the box (no adaptors or anything) and Playstation network is free. Plus you get Blu Ray and all you need is a free disc from Netflix and you can stream all your movies.
It will be interesting to see how the Charlie Strong-Joker Phillips thing plays out in-state. I have met Joker several times and was really impressed. The guy is 110% class. I'm happy UK gave him the job. I think he will at the very least continue the success that old man Rich had the last couple years. Having said that, I am a Cards fan, so I can't say I wish him great success in recruiting KY.
And now I'm exceeding my annual quota of posts, but knowing that there are a few hockey fans in the 'Sci community, I have perfected a strategy for seeing some great NHL games in SoCal. The Ducks usually draw pretty well, but not like places like Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, etc. So they offer some pretty decent ticket specials. They offer the "victory pack" in the second half of the season (which is when the Ducks always play phenomenal hockey). You buy tickets for 4 games and every one of those games the Ducks win, you get free tickets to another game. So far Ducks 2, opponents 0. Which means I get 2 free games. It's almost a scientific formula. New year= Hiller gets hot, the ageless Selanne comes back from an injury and still scores goals at the rate of a star half his age, and the slow starting Canadian Olympians Perry and Getzlaf start finding the back of the net with freakish regularity.
I HATE GRANT WRITING!
I like grant writing a little more now...gimme money!
UT beats Kansas with 6 scholarship players. Didn't see that one coming.
Stew - I agree that it should be interesting to see how Strong and Joker handle their programs. Both guys are absolutely classy guys and I hope both do well....just UofL can suck it up against UK for several more years.So far Joker has added 1 coach in Mike Summers (been with Petrino for last 7 years) as OL coach. Joker offered MSU DL coach the job (David Turner) and all indications point to him taking that job. Dan Mullens did counter that offer so who knows for sure.
After Cornell almost beat Kansas it wasn't suprising.
At one point I think the waterboy and Pearl's son was on the floor at the same time.I guess that is what happens when Rock Chalk keeps playing gimme's at home.
yeah i was pretty pumped about that game, i was pretty stunned
I thought UK was going to be hit by the SI jinx
Has Cousins gotten that guys nuts out of his mouth yet? He got posterized pretty bad, full teabag.
Yeah that was an awesome dunk for sure. Cousins tried to take the charge and just got obliterated. I was hoping to see Leslie try it again to see if Cousins would have tried to take the charge or try to kill him but we never got to see it.
i actually went to the GA game, i have a new appreciation for how good cousins is. he is fucking phenomenal down low, every time he touched the ball with only one defender on him, the play was over. you could see the new strategy that will likely be deployed on a regular basis, that teams will try the hack-a-shaq approach on him. one thing i liked more though, and i'm not sure if this played on TV, but whenever cousins picked up a foul (there were two especially that were awful calls, the whole game was horribly officiated), he would just keep on jogging away from the refs so as not to argue. when he picked up his second foul in the first half, he just trotted straight back to the bench w/o even looking at the refs, it was quite amusing
UK was never in real danger though
How loud was the "Ooooooh" from the Rupp Crowd when his headband got knocked off and he flung it over to the bench after his teammate retrieved it for him?
The other good thing is Cousins is shooting over 70% from the FT line in the last 7 games.
Here's the dunk Joe is talking about.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBKyoSBEAnQStill a bad ass dunk even though Cousins was late to arrive.
Douglas - I tell you what man, did you think Patterson would be able to play this way? I didn't. I am surprised with how Patterson is playing. He has really developed as a player.
it was pretty big, it's the first game i've been to this year after going to a bunch last year. the difference was unreal in the crowd and atmosphere. much louder than anytime last year. and they beat the shit out of cousins down low too. their game plans was solid actually, they played a collapsing zone, stopped wall from penetrating and doubled down on cousins whenever he came near the ball and hacked him to death. sure he'll see that more and more. but those guys that fouled out, I think there were 3, should've fouled out much earlier than they did. and i've never seen so many travelling calls in my life, on both sides of the ball, the officials really fucked up the flow of the game, and that helped out GA a lot.
he's a stud, his only knock right now is he's not rebounding as much, but that's more b/c cousins is down there as well playing on the post, while patterson's more on the wing. pat's been real quiet this year, all the attention's on the freshman, but then you look up and see he's got 17 points out of nowhere
Other teams can no longer double team Patterson
I have only been to 1 game this year as well.I went to about 10 last year and only 1 this year. I guess people actually want to keep their tickets this year.I made the comment the other day that Cousins is even blocking Patterson out of the paint which is pretty impressive. I guess if Cousins gets 18 rebounds there isn't much left over for Patrick.
For anybody wanting to buy a car in the near future, Ford is planning on bringing over the European version of the Ford Focus to the states. I wonder if they will bring up the RS version which is a pretty badass little car. Problem is, it will probably cost in the $30K ballpark.
there are all kinds of little dinky cars over there i'd never seen before that car companies develop just for Europe.
The major difference in the small car market in Europe vs. USA is attributed to the cost associated with the car in Europe. Cars are extremely expensive to own there and with high gas costs they pack a lot of performance and options into their smaller cars. I like smaller cars but with a family it is hard to get a smaller one that still accomadates the lifestyle.Surprisingly, Abby's RDX isn't all that big but we can fit a shit load into it because the seats fold flat.Consider me getting old, but I am starting to like some of the wagons.
my car is currently stuck on 2 sq ft of ice. it's getting absurd.
my buddy pat is on his way to help "dig it out". He said he'd bring shovels and shit. I told him we just need to push it like 2ft and I'd be good to go. I haven't been frustrated by 2" of anything since my dick.
i know this has been discussed eighteen-million times but i never paid attention to any of them. Does anybody have dish network or AT&T phone service? I feel like my insight bill is just absurd for the services that I have (phone, internet, cable) and am looking at other options.Does anybody have any thoughts?
I left AT&T to Insight when Bell South merged with AT&T because they screwed all kinds of stuff up with long distance charges when I didn't even have long distance service available to my phone. It was a mess what AT&T did to me.
My car is fre. It is a miracle
They are offering a 3-11:45 2nd shift in my office. It sounds horrible.
Wow, are they going to make some of you people work different shifts now?
They were taking interest in the idea as to whether people would volunteer for the idea. No clue whether they will make people do it.
McGwire admits to steroids in the 80s
will they get some sort of shift differential?
If you could get a supervisor job would you take it??? or do you already have a supervisor job?
10% shift differential. Supervisor jobs were addressed as a question but wasn't answered. I am not eligible for a supervisor job yet.
I would think you guys would need atlest one if not two supervisors on 3rd shift. What does your company base supervisor eligibility on? Service or being able to do all jobs within the department?

So it looks like we are going to be refugees for 5 weeks.
Are you going to Haiti?
Is this related to your condo issue?
Yeah, since the condo got flooded, they are moving us into another unit down the street for at least 5 weeks so they can gut the place, replace the insulation, electrical, and drywall that got soaked.
Brock - what caused your condo to flood?
GOD HATES NATTY SCI!
The pipe feeding out fire protection sprinkler system busted because of the cold. It happened last year, but there wasn't much damage. This year was a complete disaster. It was raining from our vents, light fixtures, and sprinklers for hours.Luckily it happened right before Michelle went to work and she was there to save all of our stuff by covering it in plastic when the fire dept arrived.
Wow, that fucking sucks. I am sorry that you guys have to deal with that shit.
Douglas is your basement furnished yet?
If not, Smith's Furniture is going out of business and you might be able to get good deals on some furniture there. The one on Shelbyville Road had a lot of shit already sold might check elsewhere. Also worth trying is Oak Express/Furniture Row. They have really upgraded their quality in the past few years.
I thought it flooded from UT fans peeing on t-shirts
I was not impressed with Smith's. The shit was all damaged and the prices were just brought down to what other places normally are. I saw something at Smiths and pointed out all the damage to basically try to get them to lower it a lot. I said 300 they said 450 I said 300 they said 475. Fucking tards. They then said we are going out of business not out of our minds. Burdorfs of all places had similar stuff cheaper then what smiths was for damaged shit.
the thing about furniture 'going out of business' sales is that all the prices are marked up, and then they put a clearance tag with the original price on it, so you think you're getting a deal. when i bought my condo i used to go to those all the time when i was furnishing the place and not once did i ever find a good deal.
as for the basement, it's done. the only thing that's not done is i'm waiting for the bar top, a formica sheet they're putting on top of it, that's it. i've already stained the bar, i'm waiting for the top before i finish it off with the polyurethane finish, and then i need to finish painting the trim around the bar where they put the hardwood floors down and the hand rail, which won't take me long at all, i just need to find the motivation to spend one more hour painting. kaelyn now has one of the greatest play rooms a kid could have. i plan on having my man cave this summer, just need to recoup the savings a bit first for a couple months. i'm going to have them come out put in a built in entertainment wall in the basement and in my living room around the fireplace and hang a TV above the fireplace. it's actually cheaper to get built ins than it is to go buy a good entertainment center
I like built-ins....good stuff if you ask me.
I bought a couple cans of paint which was okay, but the expenses that that can lead to are amazing. One thing leads to another and next thing you know you have spent an extra hundred of dollars in no time.
To go along with my questions on TVs earlier, TV wall mounts, anyone have opinions? Tilting good or is fixed okay? Cheap place to get one? I believe I heard lynnie say he got his on Amazon? That a reliable place?
I buy everything off amazon. I have a fixed mount, but it points right at my couch which doesn't move so I didn't need a tilt (or even think about getting one). In retrospect I should have bought a TV console with a back mount just so that I didn't have to drill into my drywall. If I want to move my TV it's a real pain in the ass now.
e.g. something like this, but like half that pricehttp://www.crateandbarrel.com/famil...151&f=35708
how hard was it to put the wall mount up, i've never done it...
Apparently they are remaking Clash of the Titans. No way it is better than the 1980/1990s version.
Wall mounts are pretty easy to put in, just make sure you hit the studs. I think my father in law has one that tilts which makes it nice and easy to connect the damn chords behind the tv.
yeah, easy enough to install. Not that fun to move.Btw, Clay Travis has a good article up on Kiffinhttp://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/20...aced-tennessee/
that console with back mount is pretty darn sweet.I didn't mount my plasma screen. I have it sitting in an entertainment center incase I ever wanted to move it around.

God damn you all are boring today.
So I went to McDonald's to try the Big Mac Wrap. It wasn't listed as a numbered combo so I panicked. No way could I say the words "I'd like a Big Mac Wrap" without feeling shame. I could order it by saying "A #16, please" though. Then I wouldn't have to say the actual wordsWent with the Southwest Chicken Sandwich instead because you can order that shit with PRIDE.
from the atlanta journal constitution about charlie strong recruiting some GA kids, shenanigans already?:“Earlier this week, defensive end Malcom Strong and defensive back Chris Sharpe, both of Stephenson, said they committed to new coach Charlie Strong during an official visit to Louisville this past weekend. But apparently Strong saw it another way and the two players have yet to be acknowledged as commitments. Stephenson assistant Corey Johnson said it remains a fluid situation but clearly is not happy about the way events transpired. Meanwhile, the players are continuing to take visits. Stay tuned. . . .”
I'm not sure Strong offered, not sure I'd call that shenanigans...Here's a quote from all I've heard of them (from 5 days ago):Louisville, though, wasn't quite ready to accept verbal commitments from Strong, a 6'3, 230-pound defensive end, and Sharpe, a 5'11, 165-pound defensive back, this weekend. Strong told both recruits that the Cardinals are interested and that he plans to check in with their parents and coaches before signing day.“I told Coach Strong I wanted to be a Cardinal. He said we have to get his coaching staff down to Atlanta to meet my parents before we finalize anything,” Sharpe said. “He said he didn't want my parents to think I was being pressured on my visit. He also said he was going to call my coach.”
Skip Holtz to USF.
One of Alan's classmates got an autograph from Charlie Strong last week. The kid's dad said Strong was very kind and accommodating. When they got home, they looked at the autograph. It said, "Go Cards!" right underneath a scratched out "Go Gators!" Old habits ...
He could've meant it as a joke, in his defense...
I think that is hilarious.
Radio discussing Dr. James Andrews and what exactly he does. They went on to say (paraphrased) he does everything..he is the John Wall of sports medicine.
i don't like that comparison, you can't make john wall comparisons b/c there is no one in his league to compare him to. john wall is the only john wall of sports medicine
If John Wall got hurt John Wall would perform surgery on himself, but John Wall can't get hurt because John Wall is John Wall. If John Wall wanted to break his own leg to see if he could feel pain could he break his own leg?
Prince of Persia movie trailer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8EA..._rev-rn-3r-1-HM
Could John Wall break his own leg or is his leg so strong that John Wall couldn't break it is a question that will haunt us forever. I think that theoretically he could break his own leg, but only if he knew that it would be for the glory and tradition that is UK basketball.
I believe he wouldn't break his own leg for the glory and tradition of UK basketball. If anybody is breaking their leg, it would have to be a cinci player and only if they were the clear cut #1 to win it all.....in the glory and honor of their tradition.
john wall is the only one capable of breaking his own leg, but He would do so only as part of a higher plan for Himself and the esteemed glory of the University of Kentucky. However the fact that he is capable of breaking His own leg is a moot point anyway, as even with a broken leg, John Wall would still proceed to fuck around and get triple doubles
With a nickname like Blue Jesus, I believe he can mend his own leg.

Exfoliate That Ass! Great Moments In Drunken Hookup Failurehttp://deadspin.com/5449018/exfolia...-hookup-failure
so i started looking around deadspin and found this on the whole mcgwire/steroids thing, which ranks as the single most compelling criticism i've ever read on the whole steroids era and how sports journalists and politicians have fallen all over themselves to talk about how outrageous steroids in baseball are without having a fucking clue what they are talking about http://deadspin.com/5446141/five-of...eroid-admission
Who was the senator referring to Sosa as sammy sooser?
kennedy
some 13 year old kid has a good gambling column on deadspin too.the comments are pretty good on it. My favorite was "This kid is like the younger brother from Better Off Dead."
er, http://deadspin.com/5448584/bad-bea...ne=true&s=i
if anyone listens to 84 whas in the morning ever, francene died
Was she ill?
apparently, i keep a radio on at my desk just for background noise more than anything, it's a cheap piece of shit i got at target so 840's like the only station i get clearly so i hear her show everyday, kinda sad. she's been out all week with a sub in and earlier in the week they said she was out sick, apparently she's been in the hospital all week. terry meiners has been talking about it now, no details on what she had though. she was only like 43 so she had something potent
oh wow, that sucks.
goddamn, she had a heart attack on monday, and apparently on wednesday they found a brain aneurysm
wow, that is way to young for a heart attack and brain aneurysm.
I think Bud Selig should be fired and forced to sell off his ownership. Anybody who has admitted use or caught in the past should have their records revoked and be omitted from the Hall of Fame. If you use a performance enhancing drugs in a sport, then you're cheating, plain and simple. Floyd Landis won the tour de France, busted for PEDs, stripped of his title and banned for 2 years, Michael Rassmussen just lied about his where abouts (against regulations), never was busted for PED's stripped from winning the tour and banned for two years, Marion Jones her and her teammates stripped of their medals...yet baseball players all get a slap on the wrist. I don't know how they can argue Pete Rose's case anymore.
The difference is that the Olympics and Cycling had explicit drug bans and testing in effect for those individuals you listed. The baseball players never technically broke any rules because there wasn't explicit bans on the 'roids.Should we start revoking Nobel Prizes because those people drank coffee to stay awake later and study more? They are obviously enhancing their performance as scientists.
I think another thing to remember is that cycling is 50% an endurance race. If you are racing while using PED you are giving yourself a distinct advantage during the actual competition. I have no problem with baseball or football players using PEDs to get them ready for their next game - baseball games aren't an endurance race - you hit a ball and catch a ball. If you can take a pill or a shot, be it advil, cortisone or steriods that let's you get on the field and compete sooner I have no problem with that.Like Brock said - I went on a few dates with a girl who would take aderol before each exam in college. Should her degree be invalidated? What about a basketball player wearing contact lenses?
Why did I agree to work OT
Is this $100 after taxes worth the 4 hours and effort put in is the question I will be asking myself the rest of the day.
I hate UL games.
UL found a way to give the gamw away once, I see it happening again in OT
Louisville isn't tanking as much as my Bearcats. They have to beat those thieving Domers today or the season is about shot.
I figured UofL would beat Pitt.
this is a late response about the steroids, but if they invalidated everyone's records in baseball that cheated, there would be no baseball records. the general public doesn't have a clue how widespread steroids in baseball are / were. people harp on mcgwire doing them and some other big names, but they don't harp on the 75%+ in the minor leagues that take them and never make it to the bigs. steroids alone do not make you better, they might make make some of your home runs go farther, but you still have to be able to hit the home runs. plus the baseball season is 162 games long, you're playing almost everyday, and the days you're not playing, you're on the road. it's a lot tougher sport than people give it credit for. i'm not excusing it, i'm just saying, if you're a professional athlete and your paycheck depends on you getting every advantage possible, and you look around at your peers and the majority of them are doing steroids, HGH, popping greenies and other pills to help them out, all trying to get an advantage on you, you're almost a fool not to do it yourself. if your livelihood depends on you coming back from an injury faster so someone doesn't steal your roster spot, you're more likely to say fuck that and do what you need to do. not saying it's right, just saying i understand
and what pisses me off even more is everyone harps on baseball players, yet no one says a word about 300 pound linemen in football that run 40 yard dashes in 4.5 seconds. that's not natural. with as physical as pro football is, you pretty much have to take some shit just to survive week in and week out
and UK sucked today, but they still pulled out a road win in conference, if / when they ever get their shit together for an entire game no one beats them unless you're the lakers. i'm almost beginning to wonder if i wouldn't mind seeing them drop a game just to get the undefeated monkey off their back. after the '96 team lost in the SEC tournament after running out like 26 straight wins or something, they destroyed everyone in the NCAA. the last several games they've played with a stick up their ass until the very end.
holy fuck. my shoulder / neck area hurts so bad i feel like i'm going to puke. this sucks dick.if I broke my collar bone, i wouldn't have been able to finish the game, right? Broke is broke.
database of 200,000 er patients and products they have been admitted withhttp://www.sun-sentinel2.com/featur...erby=anarrative#8 reminded me of B-Mac, but if you want to read some horrifying stuff try searching for rectum, anus, vagina, etc. There really are a lot of people falling on bottles.

So I was browsing Best Buy's outlet center for HDDVDs...yes I have an HDDVD player and a Blu-Ray. So I figured if I wanted to get some HD DVD movies that I should be able to pick them up for a couple pennies on the dollar. Boy was I wrong, Best Buy is selling them discounted at like $29 bucks down from $36. Thanks a lot fuckers.
But John Wall isn't mortal
he only said kind of
Exactly.
Its a sign of weakness.
john wall only shows weakness on purpose to make others feel better about themselves
just like he did at auburn, he wasn't having a bad game, he was making auburn, the worst team in the SEC, feel better about themselves. it's a sign of his great compassion
John Wall is a benevolent god.
I don't feel comfortable typing his holiness's name. Can we create a symbol to represent him?
We can just remove vowels like the hebrew Y_w_h. So, from now on, HE is J_hn W_ll

Followup on Church's baby...Samuel L. Church. Unlike Samuel L. Jackson's L, the L is for Leonard not Leroy.
Buying a PS3 tonight, I havent bought a gaming system since N64. I'll probably pick up COD: modern warfare too.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is suppose to be an awesome game.
So what would be the next best Xbox game to get? Modern Warfare? NCAA Football 10? I'm torn.
I want to get Dante's Inferno when it comes out.Of course, playing Darksiders as one of the Four Horsemen wouldn't be so bad either. But it is always hard to say no to kicking ass and taking names.
Fallout 3 is fucking awesome
I've been wondering about Fallout 3, as I have never played ther other two.Has anybody played Prototype? It gets pretty good reviews and if you like parkour this is the game for you.
NCAA Football
I never played Fallout 1 or 2 either. The game is pretty straight forward. You start off in a Vault that was created before the nuclear holocaust as a kid. You do some stuff, and create a character. You can be good or evil, you could focus on being a smooth talker which lets you get cool shit from people for cheap, or you could focus on stuff like explosives or small weapons.Then you escape the vault and you are in the middle of a completely destroyed Washington DC. Easily 100 hours of game play. Get the game of the year edition which has all the addons too which has more shit that is fun.I'm torn between GTA IV and Fallout 3 as the best value game ever. Just so much to do.
Wow that is pretty awesome. I might have to check it out then.I know Prototype if a free roaming game and you have endless abilities. Like you can run up buildings, you can see people's memories, etc...
Phil - do you prefer the first person or 3rd person view in Fallout 3?
I just kept the first person view. The animation was weird in third person.But seriously. The game is cool. One of the first "missions" you can do is to detonate a nuke and blow to shit the first town you come to. If you do it then you get some nice stuff. If you don't the town is a good place as a home base the rest of the game. You could play through it two or three times and not see everything the game has.
Brock - I recommend Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it's pretty addictive online.
That's cool, I might have to go to gamestop and pick it up.
And if UK can beat Arkansas on Saturday. UK will be #1 as Texas just lost.
Chan Gailey?
These guys are shitty.
He was an Eagle Scout, therefore, probably a pretty good hire.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Gailey
Suprisingly UK was just referred to UK instead of we, what happened?
They are interchangeable.
apparently b-mac works in Pennsylvania now? I just got an email with his new work email address. I got a phone call new years eve about it but I didn't realize he was moving so soon. Is this Camp Hill near Hershey?
I wonder if he drives down the Hershey Highway?
There is one team in college basketball that I do not want us/UK to play.....SYRACUSE. If we/UK learn to play an entire game staying focused, then bring them on....otherwise I hope they lose early in the tourney.
got the same email, didn't know he had officially moved. i talked to him several weeks ago and he said he was very close to moving, that he already had a job lined up and lauren almost had one, just waiting on the offer. apparently it's between hershey and harrisburg, the capital. i asked him what he was going to do about his condo in jacksonville b/c he can't sell it for near what he paid for it, he said he'd probably do a short sale or try to rent it out.
I wish him good luck with that sale.
Too early for tournament talk.
Joe Lunardi has been talking bracketology for months.
And it is retarded, kind of like preseason polls.
Yep. But what else is there if not sports to kill our productive contributions to society?
Since we can't talk sports, I received a two day notification from Pottery Barn saying free shipping ends for organizers. So if you need your shit organized send me an email and I'll forward it.
why in the fuck do you get emails from pottery barn?
So I can jump all over free shipping for organizers. Duh!
Dan Patrick is discussing what NBA player to compare Luke harongody to. The best they came up with is Gugliata (sp).
So are all eyes on Massachusetts today or what?Other than mine of course being on Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel.
Harongody is Frankenstein's Monster. He is quite possibly the most unathletic center playing the game, but he is a phenomenal shooter.
Actually Aldrich is the most unathletic.Or maybe Harongody is just deceptively athletic/
SI has an article about impact transfers and a lot of the article is on Caracter. The article hasn't touched on Jasper or Legion yet.
Legion is a joke.Jasper I feel badly for that guy. When he got to UNLV the coach was surprised the kid could even walk much less play basketball. Gillispie probably ruined his chance at a pro career.
In honor of the TV show Jersey Shores a coworker began referring to Mike Marra for UL as Mike "The Situation" Marra.
Has that dude hit a three yet?
He is suprisingly actually starting to show a nice shooting touch.
Josh Carrieresque?That dude was a summer all-american. Every year I read reports how he was the second guy picked up in summer scrimmages and he never missed. I think he hit a billion threes one summer shooting 100% from the arc.
Sosa and Smith are killing UL right now.Swopshire I see no potential with. Marra I look at and think he can be a Larry Obannon kind of guy meaning a Pitino project and by his junior senior year he could potentially be a productive member of the UL basketball society.
i watched jersey shore for the first time the other night and i'm ashamed to say i watched it for pretty much the whole episode. i became a much stupider person and i was powerless to stop it
Douglas - I was trying to watch it ther other day. Those guys are bunch of douchebags but it's funny to me. Apparently the big guy got in a fight...that is when Abby turned it.
that's the one i watched, it's so totally retarded that is has to be scripted like the rest of their 'reality' shows. it can't be possible to achieve that level of douchiness
Trust me, it cracks me up. It is so over the top I am just thinking "No, this can't be real".

that is why I stick to single player games. My ego is too fragile to handle online. Plus when I play drunk no one yells at me.
I have no ambition to take this 6 hour test at work tomorrow
for what?
Some kind of certification. Use to be voluntary and if you pass you get a $500 bonus. I am the first person required to take it and pass to get promoted to the next level.
Douglas: Harrisburg, PA is 570 miles away, roughly 9 hours. Flying to the wedding in June?
i'm too old to drive that fucking far, figured i'd talk to you about it as we got closer. is the wedding in harrisburg, i couldn't remember if it was there or hershey. i'm flying solo that weekend too, sarah's in a wedding here in louisville the exact same day
Gotcha. Flying sounds like the smarter way to go. I still need to try my clothes on to make sure they fit. I figured I'd eventually get that straightened out. I think my shirt is too big.
i havent tried them on yet either, theyre still in the box in my closet
exactly where mine is
shitmydadsays: "No, I'm not a pessimist. At some point the world shits on everybody. Pretending it ain't shit makes you an idiot, not an optimist."

Hey Phil,The house across the street from us went on the market today. For sale by owner. I didn't call to see what they are listing it at.
1986 Championship game replay on TV last night was awesome.I am taking the J_hn W_ll SI cover in with me to the test I am taking today as inspiration.

I am convinced that John Wall didn't like healthcare reform, and awarded the seat to the GOP last night.And being I am not muslim nor a Louisville fan, I can write his name in its entirety without the fear of being stoned to death.
I lost it when Ed Orgeron started speaking.
I watched Letterman last night because I'm in love with Kristen Bell. I stuck around to watch The Heavy and they fucking killed it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jirhtas7imEI've never seen Letterman that excited after a performance, and I don't blame him.
and by last night I meant monday. Last night I was busy sending drunken texts mocking Barbara Streisand
At lunch half way done with my test. I have a text that Kenzie the gold dog is missing. Great news to get in the middle of a test.
don't worry, John Wall will find your dog
Thanks J_hn W_ll for your help.
I guess Kenzie is found
You know how snoop replaced the ends of words with izzle? If you replace the end of words with "eh" then John Wall's name becomes JehWeh. This sounds exactly like Yahweh. Coincidence? I think not.
Is John Wall Canadian?
he's from north carolina
he is universal
Praise be unto J_hn W_ll
The move to the refugee condo is now complete. For the record, I will never move again without hiring movers. It was almost like watching art the speed and precision they packed and moved our stuff.
Phil - I think you are onto something.
brock, you're right about movers, after helping other people move way too many times, and then looking at all the shit i had to move for myself, the 250 or so i spent was so worth it, not to mention how fast they did that shit
Adrian hired movers when he bought his house. It was nice not having to break my back to help his retarded ass move.
Test over, dog found, time to kill an hour and 15 minutes till I can leave and drink bourbon.
Kenzie was found by a homeowner in a backyard on Warner by Cannons Lane which is basically at Seneca Park. They checked his tags and called Laura. So he may have wandered Cannons Lane and successfully crossed Breckinridge Lane.
Thanks be to JehWeh
If it was Keira I would allow this behavior considering all the booze I have loaded her up with. She probably doesnt know where she is half the time anyways.
Yeah wonder what Kenzie was doing?
This guy that sits by me, I'd guess 45-55 range, just got up to leave and says "time to go home and beat my child and pet my dog" and walked out.
Me too Wes, no clue what he was doing. Kenzie is scared of his own shadow, I have no clue how he got the courage to cross the shock collar boundary.
maybe the collar stopped working.the only option I see is to drink bourbon, put it on and try it out...
especially if it starts raining again
Norm McDonald stopped by with Conanhttp://www.hulu.com/watch/121708/th...s-by#s-p3-sr-i1
Test today was awesome. First thing was insert your code number. Moderator asks any problems. I say yes this isn't me. My name was butchered. There was a resemblance. Moderator says take it anyways and we will straighten it out later.
It'd be kinda funny if he pulled you aside and said "we were really only worried about people too fucking stupid not to recognize their own name. apparently you are the only one who noticed. tell nobody about this."

i believe if church and bmac posted on here we would have had each and every degree listed covered.
my sister is thinking about going back to school and getting a degree in urban planning
Joe, you should start studying for the actuary exams, they are ridiculously hard but with your background and math prowess you would probably be smart enough to pass...my buddy is an actuary in Chicago makes six figures easily and loves his job.
Already failed once
We don't need b-mac we got abby and Cuban the acountants
Oh, nevermind then, he's just a bean counter.

Quit? You know, once Lance Armstrong was thinking about quitting when he was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and support of his friends and family, he got back on the bike and he won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from that's keeping you from the taking the test again?
The UK quality wins don't look as quality anymore(See UNC and UConn).
I agree Joe. The only saving grace is the SEC isn't as weak as people thought.
Lance is pretty awesome on roids. Maybe we can get Joe on roids?
we put 3 of the best teams in the country last year on the schedule, we can't help if they all suck now. word be UK's in talks with syracuse to do a series with them, and i know cal's been trying to get TX as well
Patterson stated he is considering coming back for another season.
don't hold your breath, he's played his way into virtually every mock draft's top 10. now we have to fucking be worried about bledsoe leaving too, he's getting a lot of publicity as a potential lottery pick. have there ever been 4 lottery picks from the same team before?
Nope.
If Blue Jesus comes back (not sure why he would and personally I want him to go so he can support his mother and siblings) then Cousins, Patterson, and Bledsoe all come back.
no shot
Coach Cal on Dan Patrick on 1450 AM in an hour
if they win the championship they're all gone for sure, the only two that might stay are cousins, only b/c if he stays he'll be the most dominant big man in college and a lock for a top 3 pick in the next draft, and bledsoe, which i always kind of assumed was a given, but beyond wall there's not much in the way of PG's in this draft and bledsoe has played his way into consideration as possibly the second best PG in the country, or least the second most potential. barring injury, i can't see wall or patterson back, and i won't allow any wiggle room to get my hopes up
i kinda hope cousins keeps the 'thug' image so it hurts his draft stock
This is what an NBA scout said on Cousins as reported by Larry Vaught.“Cousins is a top 15 pick for certain,” the scout said. “I’d pick him in the top half of the lottery, but there are concerns about his maturity. His ability to rebound is very, very impressive. Rebounding is one area that almost always translates to the NBA. He's huge, but he isn't explosive, otherwise he'd be right there with Wall. He can improve on every area of his offensive game, too. If he stays and does that, he is in the running to be the first pick in the draft next year."
It's all going to come down to how badly do they want to kick the shits out of the Tards in their new arena.
Honestly, I think that has no effect on anything. I would say that the only reason to come back is an SEC championship or NCAA championship if they blow that this year. Beating UL at UL is not a reason to stay in college.
1450 AM...Coach Cal...next!
is he there to spread the gospel of wall?
If Wall says he is coming back Calipari is fighting him.
10-8 0-3 in conference. $98,000 for dinner with him Ashleigh judd and Cal's wife auctioned off on E-Bay. DP kept throwing out Coach K references irritating him. Overall good interview. Cal wasn't half bad.
please. cousins, wall and bledsoe have all stopped going to class. ain't happening.
cal said UK was really 10-8? that's awesome. his whole "we're only a .500 team" was a good motivational schtick early in the season, now it's just funny. i think now he just uses it as a joke more than anything. what was he saying about coach k?
Cal would say something along the lines of who else or where else could such and such thing happen and DP would keep throwing out Coach K at Duke could.

I do some banking out of the central bank that is in my office building. I threw up a little when they gave me a bumper sticker for the official bank of UK athletics. My repulsed look made them withdraw their offer and they offered me a world equestrian games sticker instead.
haha, yeah, they're based in lexington
I'm more of a Whittaker bank shot type of guy, myself.Central Bank does do a lot of work with Louisville athletics too. But they are huge with UK. Demarcus Cousins and John Hood had a "job" where they "worked" as "tellers" over the summer, for example.
ok cupid did a study of the photos that work in profileshttp://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2...ofile-pictures/apparently the looking away from the camera and not smiling is the best way to go for dudes. Chicks dig mystery.
I heard that Wall wasn't going to class too and took an easy semester over the summer. Then I heard on TV that he took a full load and has a 4.0...I dont know if I believe that they are no longer in classes, Im calling BS on that.
one thing I learned at Bellarmine is it is impossible to be ineligible your freshman year, either semester.
Did you learn that from Creed?
Wall took pre-algebra over the summer. Whether or not he actually went to that class is in dispute though. He did seem pretty proud of himself for getting that A, so I do doubt the rumors of a couple of St. X kids took the class for him are true.It's no secret they aren't going to class. They can't be ineligible at this point and they aren't planning on coming back. Earl Clark and Fransisco Garcia did the same thing once they decided they were going pro. By the time grades are announced the season will be over.
oh yeah, forgot about the freshman rule. That would explain why people were talking about Wall not going to class way back in October.
i remember a buddy of mine at UK never knew jamaal magloire was in his class until the final, he had never shown up to any classes before until that one
UK players used to get jobs at horse farms, b/c there were gates on the property and the NCAA couldn't show up for surprise inspections. and they used to give the players cell phones so when they found out about an inspection, they'd call them and get them over there. i also found it odd that all the bball players drove ford explorers
I heard he registered for 15 hours this semester.
Yeah, lots of programs will set players up with students to take notes for the players. Some abuse it pretty bad, but it's perfectly ok by the NCAA.
you gotta have an explorer if you work on a horse farm. duh.
Here's the thing with kids not going to class. If they don't finish the semester in good standing the univeristy can lose scholarships now...I guarantee you Wall, Cousins, and Bledsoe and everybody else on the team will remaining in good standing with the university. Whether they go to class is irrelevant...fuck how many did I skip at Bellarmine?
I was late every single day to my psych 101 class. The only reason why I even passed was because Wes Orr and I sat next to each other and he couldn't tell us apart because both of us had dark hair, wore hats, and sweats every single day.
Not to mention the tutors and academic center that helps student athletes.Shit I saw what Chris went through at Bellarmine being a chemistry major and playing baseball. I have no clue how he got through everything like he did.
Charlie Strong already fucking up. See #4.http://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/201...10-is-unveiled/
I disagree with one and dones caring about the future of the program and get good grades because of that. Take easy classes and do just enough to get by, maybe.
It doesn't matter, that is the nature of the beast. As long as their classes satisfy credits towards some degree it is legit.I don't think the NCAA really cares. These kids make them money, they just want to make it look like they care somewhat.
the kid wanted to commit to strong, but strong told him they didn't have a spot. posted about it earlier. I wouldn't exactly say a kid telling strong that he wants to commit, strong telling him he hasn't been offered so he can't is exactly fucking up.
All I know is their coach is pissed due to this miscommunication so it sounds pretty wish washy from the start. I think he was trying to get their teammate Mike Thornton who is a 4-star DT and after he guaged he had zero interest in UofL he left promptly.
if you look up at #3 on that post, apparently a bunch of that dude's teammates are visiting UK this weekend
Any thoughts about the game Sunday?
Yep, and UK already has commits from three of his teammates.He will be here this weekend, God knows we need to replenish the line.
Mike Thorton has never been a recruit. Those kids were brought in because Louisville is desperate for their position, but Strong was hoping to get better players than those guys. I posted this earlier, but this was what was on the scout site about their visit the day of:"Louisville, though, wasn't quite ready to accept verbal commitments from Strong, a 6'3, 230-pound defensive end, and Sharpe, a 5'11, 165-pound defensive back, this weekend. Strong told both recruits that the Cardinals are interested and that he plans to check in with their parents and coaches before signing day.“I told Coach Strong I wanted to be a Cardinal. He said we have to get his coaching staff down to Atlanta to meet my parents before we finalize anything,” Sharpe said. “He said he didn't want my parents to think I was being pressured on my visit. He also said he was going to call my coach."Seems the kids were confused, not sure how I would consider that "fucking up."
Pesonally I hold C. Str_ng right up there with John Wall. I am only going on second hand information by silly message boards. You know, the non-biased without slants versions."Sharpe is visiting to Kentucky this weekend and the Jaguars’ coaches are not at all pleased with new Louisville coach Charlie Strong."When the coaches are not pleased with the head coach of a particular institution that tells me it was not simply a matter of confusion on their player's part. Maybe they were mislead or maybe they have a big imagination, I do not know as I was not there.Also, anytime a school has a 4-star DT that is unsigned and you go into that school to recruit another student you better say hello and guage his interest. I never said Thornton was listed on the lousville scout board or listing UofL in his choices, but you better believe he is being "recruited" or atleast having his interest guaged to determine if you even get to speak into his ear.
I'd hate for Charlie Strong to get on Bob Beatty's bad side. You don't want to feel the wrath of a high school coach.
The problem with getting on their bad sides is you are pretty much black balled from getting back into their school again...or it takes a lot of time.
There have been some pretty good recruits coming out of Lexington Catholic the past few years, but Mumme fucked that up and it wasn't until this year they finally got back in the door....and UK is in the same fucking city.
What I read was prior to these kids talking to their coach and the paper, and it appeared they were pretty confused. As of Jan 10th when they took their visit it was pretty clear they weren't going to get offered, so it was pretty odd when they started saying they were going to Louisville.I'm still pretty sure this Thorton guy was never in the picture. The only reason I say that is that whenever someone is being brought in because of a teammate that is usually all anyone talks about. There has literally been no mention of this guy anywhere on either Louisville site.I'm not sure what you and Douglas expected strong to do in this situation. Give them a scholarship so their feelings weren't hurt?
better then getting blackballed
i'm not in on this discussion, i was making the remark according to that article you posted earlier that his teammates were visiting UK, I actually don't fault strong at all, I'm sure there was just some kind of miscommunication, I don't typically put too much stock in what any recruit says, you know they'll probably exaggerate to any/all media outlets how much X coach thinks about them
First of all, I think Strong is a good guy because he could have gone the route of Petrino and just not fax him the LOI to sign on signing day...that is really shady and does not all the young man to go elsewhere for his education. I applaud Strong for doing just that.But Joe is right, definitely better than getting black balled.
bob redman is leaving male, might go to jeffersonville, IN
I heard he is going to take the Jeffersonville job because he will only have to coach and not be a teacher.
Where is Jay our inside source?
Jay would actually have to talk to his uncle about sports to be an inside source.
Douglas - here is a blurb on Mike Thornton from kentucky scout.Just talked with one of Stephenson's coaches. I feel even BETTER about this visit from Thorton now.He says that Michael is "a big team guy" and he put off visiting FSU and Miami to take this trip with his teammates. He said that Michael has been visited by Joker, Sanders and even Brown. All played a big part and Thornton wanted to give Joker a shot to show what they had to offer.
I just hope we don't get black balled.
ESPN radio locally confirmed resignation of bob redman
$5 says Thornton signs with USC
I believe he did grow up a big USC fan, so it wouldn't surprise me...but then again he'd have to deal with Lane Kiffin.
I'm sorry, Auburn and Miami were his childhood faves.
Never doubt Ed Orgeron. He has ways of making you change your childhood favorites.
USC has enetered the picture and both in-state schools visited him on Monday. Things are really heating up for Michael Thornton and he gives the latest right here."I talked to Coach [Ed] Orgeron over the weekend and he offered me a scholarship," said Michael Thornton. "I liked what Coach Orgeron and Lane Kiffin did at Tennessee, so I am going to go out to USC on January 29 for an official visit."The interest in the Trojans did not start over the weekend. Even though they are not a program close to his home, they are a school he has followed for some time."Believe it or not I have always watched USC and always liked them. I am glad I did not commit early because I probably never would have gotten this offer. I like the coaches and I like USC, so I get to visit out there and see the best of both worlds."
Phil - What's the take on Tim Patterson from the Louisville side? Do they think he will be eligible? I know UK doesn't think he will make it.
Or I should say, there is speculation that he won't make it.
The same. Louisville isn't holding a spot for him.
wes, is that what your sources are telling you?
Someone posted a while back (couple weeks or months) that Patterson's grades are an issue and much more than not will not make it.
you mean he won't graduate in 3 years like he's supposed to?
No, Tim Patterson the football recruit at Central HS.

no cheating:what 4 state capitals have all 4 major sports (nfl, nba, nhl and mlb)
other trivia question (the 4 state capital one I made up, this is a turner one): what does a funambulist walk on?Our answer: walking on sunshine....woooooooooooah oooh yeah
Phil, good question! So good in fact, that I spent almost an hour contemplating it, before finally looking up state capitals. I came up with 2 on my own (Boston and Atlanta) and missed Phoenix and Denver. Also I believe St. Paul qualifies too (as it and Minneapolis are pretty much the same place-that one could be open to argument) but they do have the Vikings, TWolves, Wild and Twins.That was a tough question as most of the cities you would think of that have all 4 pro sports teams are not state capitals.
So Louisville fans. What do you all think of Billy Donovan being the basketball coach there?
Louisville fans talk in we too.On a message board in a thread titled "WHICH IS IT? DO WE HAVE NO TALENT? OR DOES RP SUCK?" contains the following statement. My vote is that RP has done a good job coaching the 9 years he has been here. The problem is that WE have not done a good job recruiting. What's up with that? Maybe you homos are just fair weather fans?
And if you ever want to know the answer to: whatever happened to Tee Martin?Answer: QB coach at UK.
I think Billy Donovan would be a great replacement for RP whenever he decides to step down. I think a lot of fans (particularly on certain message boards) rush to panic mode way to quickly and you have a lot of morons that call for Ricks head after 5 losses. However, I'm starting to think that the writing is on the wall. I really thought that he would have won 1 or maybe 2 NC's over the course of almost 10 years here. I do think that the recruiting is a large part of that. Not to say that he's done poorly at it because that would be a lie, but investing all the time and effort into the Telfairs and Benders and Caracters, instead of going after players like Rondo (who I will always consider the one that got away). Imagine if Pitino had recruited Rondo to U of L...I'm pretty sure they would have another NC banner at freedom hall. I just watch the team this year, and they just don't have heart. It disturbs me that it just seems like the coach doesn't either. Maybe it's the stuff in his personal life, but I just don't see the intensity he used to have. All these close losses are killing me. Maybe it is time for a change, especially with Calipari just down the road I see us taking a back seat in local recruiting. Maybe Donovan would be the cure.
i know donovan would be the first choice, but that dude's lost his mojo. he had that joakim noah class that just gelled and everything clicked, but none of those guys were top recruits, he kind of hit the jackpot. and all his top recruits since then have left (jai lucas and that white boy that went to play in greece) for whatever reasons. a couple seasons in the NIT, and this year they'll probably get an at-large bid, but it'll be a lower seed and tough to make the sweet 16. he should've struck when the iron was hot and gone to UK and/or the NBA, but he didn't, now it's not as hot anymore. he's lost patterson to UK to gillispie, and he whiffed on bledsoe and wall as well to calipari. i don't see him beating UK for recruits at UL.
Has anybody seen the movie The Road? I want to see it, but I am sure it is utterly depressing to watch.
i believe jay wright is the first choice if there was a reason to make a coaching change right now.
Phil you are probably right. Feelers are out there though.
there are also rumors that louisville is already paying donovan to stay at UF so who knows. I do know Jurich and the board want Jay Wright, but the big rumor is that Pitino made a deal to stay at Louisville as long as Donovan gets brought in with the assumption that Richard is the heir apparent after that. I've heard that from multiple sources in the media.
Yep. It is very interesting to say the least.
Phil, can you reword that, Im a little confused, so Billy Donovan has a job waiting for him at UofL?
Phil is saying that the rumor is Billy D to UofL IF Richard gets the UF job.
That's the rumor.When the Karen Sypher thing happened Pitino offered to resign IF they gave the job to his son. The board didn't want to give the job to Richard because he's never done anything not in his daddy's shadow. So he made the deal that he'll coach for 2-5 years more, and Richard goes to florida as an assistant under Donovan to get more experience.Then they bring in Donovan once Pitino retires. 5 years of that and then the job will be Richard's when he's about 40.This rumor was even in the LEO back in Octoberhttp://score.leoweekly.com/2009/09/...-ls-next-coach/
I've heard the Jay Wright rumors
that all sounds good, but if donovan goes to a third straight NIT, or hasn't done anything of significance since his titles, it'll be tough convincing their fans he's the right hire

I think UofL fans have the right to be livid. I'd demand a better product on the floor. Even my father in law is in disbelief. As he says the areas that he thought would be UofL's strengths haev really hurt the past few games...mainly FT shooting and 3 point shooting.

is siva getting more PT yet?
Siva gets yanked at the smallest mistake. He gets no chance to play through a mistake. Wiegandt school of coaching, make your players play tight out of fear to make a mistake. always a good style of coaching.

Siva Knowles combo is a high energy duo that I like
samuels is a pussy
remember that time UL got a rebound?
I'd like to think someone at WHAS said "no way Louisville could look worse" and they say "watch this shit" and then fuck up the broadcast.It is so painful knowing that this should be in HD if it weren't for WHAS being fucktards
Pitino looks like death so he told WHAS to never show him in HDJerry Smith missed layup
Jennings doesnt miss
IS TJ out of shape or is he just not in game shape because he never gets to play?
spurtability?
airballed 3 off of a timeout. Fucktard
TJ in the game with Samuels and UL rebounds better, amazing concept. Too bad it took 20 games to figure it out
Samuels airballed 2 footer
Terrance Jennings blocking time...where you at
Announcer:Welcome to the game edgar...its about time."
Swopshire for Jennings is ridiculous drop off in talent
swopshire for jennings is the basketball equivalent of flipping between this game for the hockey game in terms of quality of broadcast
It was funny when I flipped to hockey and the Flyers reaction to Sid the klid getting called for a penalty. Sosa has had only 1 quality last second shot in his career. That 3 he just chucked up there was ill advised
jesus this game is ugly.
Everything about UL since September has been ugly

what does papa johns say when he completes that pass? "Boga biggity gen home!" is my guess
pitino looking to give a blow? i thought it was the other way around
I thought it was we got home as in shooting for the ball
Fucking Cincinnati won't go away
UL is too frustrating for me anymore. I'll take the win, but it is hard to watch this garbage
Brock, what is up with 12 points from stephenson in the first 10 minutes and 0 the rest of the game?

because i'm a good employee i came into work to get some stuff done before my hockey game.The NFL gamecenter is actually pretty serviceable. They even show highlights of the big plays a few minutes after they happen which is nice.
We looked at that expensive house when we were house hunting. It was totally gutted and everything was re-done and they expanded the back and upstairs. It is really nice but I don't see how they will ever get their money. Apparently, the same people bought the house next to it a while before and made good money and thought they could do it there too.
Pictures look nive, but not taht nice.
nice, but not that nice. Wow I can't type
Rumor is that WKU's coach Ken McDonald is carrying on the fine tradition of basketball coaches in this state doing dumb shit. I bet he's fired within the week.
what did he do?
Rumors of him getting caught with a member of the swim team for starters.
could have been worse
i've wasted too much time with this thing:http://us.akinator.com/It guessed wayne gretzky WAY too quickly. Creepy.
I was in tears seeing this commercial. Clowns!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvAj6qfmFQ
It nailed me on Neo
Ha, I stumped him on Jack Bauer.
got jack bauer for me in 12 questions.
i did just beat him with Rick Fox. Not until the fucker guessed scottie pippen and david robinson. I probably should have answered better
With Jack Bauer there were a lot of questions I didn't know the answer to...I think it stumped him.
He nailed me on Neo and Papa Smurf pretty quickly.
Opeation Sabatoge Operation Bikini (Operation S.O.B.) was a success today. I brought in Hostess Donettes and I took the few I wanted and the 2 girls next to me knocked out the rest except for 1 by 10:00. They felt guilty eating the last donut. The guy on the other side of the 2 girls broguht in giant chocolate chocolate chip muffins on Friday and he ate 1 and put the other 3 right by them and they magically disappeared quickly. This is a sad way to make work interesting.
Joe - Those are small victories for sure.
so you literally have a plan to make the women in your office fat? not sure if that's commendable or stupid. it's definitely funny, but at the end of the operation, you're stuck looking at ugly girls
I don't think Joe ever commented on if they were pretty or not? I could be wrong.So what is the difference between fat and ugly and skinny and ugly? Atleast if she is fat and ugly there are no "what ifs" to play.
you can always play the what if game. the options just go from 'do i need to drink first in order to hit that?' to 'how much do i need to drink to hit that?'
Alright Phil, so Im catching flak for the question about Boston being included due to the NE Patriots play in Foxboro.
Joe, everybody is cracking up about Operation S.O.B.---masterfully named and executed.
to play it safe I will say one goes to the gym at lunch to work off the donuts and listening to her complain about going to the gym following eating donuts is priceless. The other is a divorced mother with a 10 and 8 year old at the age of 30 and you would not guess it based on appearance. Our theory is that she doesn't have the time or energy to eat outside of work.
hmmm, good point. Maybe Boston should be off the list. If that counts surely St. Paul would count. I thought Foxboro was closer.
to what trivia question are you referring?
I came up with a trivia question, but it has questionable answers.What capital cities have all 4 major sport teams. There is debate on whether there are 3, 4 or 5 cities that fit the bill.
The Vikings radio announcers didn't take the interception lightlyThis is not detroit...THIS IS THE SUPERBOWLhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...25/FavreINT.mp3
He was making the argument for St. Paul, using Scottsdale as an example...I held my ground, stating St. Paul is the capital and its own city, whereas Scottsdale is just a huge suburb, now if Scottsdale was the capital then it would be its own city, same as St. Matthews or Prospect is still Louisville.
not to mention that coyotes play in Glendale. I also think the Wild play in St. Paul.It does make the trivia question trickier though. I assume both Denver and Atlanta aren't an issue.
not surprisingly, there is a whole wikipedia article dedicated to this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._c...ur_major_sports

Cal calls some dude a "jagoff" live on ESPN.http://www.bustersports.com/blog/bu...f-live-on-espn/
Local radio show is first 10 minutes UK fans call in and be obnoxious as you can for being #1.
any true UK fan could go on for much longer than ten minutes, that's just not enough time
what does "jagoff" even mean?
It was basically 10 minutes of incoherent jibberish

Side roads are terrible today. Hope you guys make it in alright. It took me an hour and a half to get here today mainly because it took me 45 minutes to drive a mile to the expressway.
I left 5 minutes early so I could pick up Cuban and then we made the bus just fine. The bus was about 5-10 minutes late.
took me just over an hour and a half to get here, and i'm like the first one here. we're usually here at 8...
I open up between 745 and 8, got in at 820
On Westport Road where the road banks right by my house, there were already 4 cars in the ditch and another two destined to join them at 7 am. This guy was in a Chrysler 300 and everytime you'd see his brake lights go off he'd try to give it some gas and the thing would just slide sideways. It was inevitable as to where he was ending up but give him major points for fighting it.
i saw a dumbass in one of those little smart cars struggling mightily on hurstbourne
A lot of cars were struggling up the hills.
my boss is emailing me from her blackberry, she's already been in her car for over 2 hours
That is odd. TARC must be awesome then.
All I know is that 1-800-Ask Gary is going to get a big payday today.
So last night I mixed up a meatloaf for tonight. This meatloaf is soaking in BBQ sauce with 4 slices of bacon sitting on top of it in my fridge as we speak. When I bake the meatloaf tonight all the bacon juices will sink into the meatloaf. My culinary ingenuity is distracting me from my work prowess. I just want some fucking meatloaf and cornbread. Bacon makes everything better.
Adrian, when are we doing lunch?
Hey, Joe! Can we get some meatloaf?!Hey, Joe! The meatloaf! We want it now! The meatloaf!What is he doing? I never know what he is doing back there.Joe! The meatloaf! Fuck!
Wedding Crashers?
Yeah. I got a flat last night...a new tire is going to cost me $200.
you should bring in that meatloaf for operation s.o.b.
Or you should bring them Taco Salads daily and when they ask if it's healthy respond "it's a salad isn't it?"
obama's doing a conference call with UK today at 1:25 to congratulate them on the hoops for haiti thing. if UK loses their number 1 ranking, i know who i'm blaming...
Payback for losing the democratic senate seat to the GOP?
Just talked them into Quizno's and convinced them to stop at Heitzman's bakery for desert as part of Operation S.O.B. I had my normal lunch and turned down a cookie at heitzman's.
good work Joe.
The other guy and I were discussing O.S.O.B. and it isn't the physical aspect that we embrace, it is the mental anguish and turmoil that is the hilarious part. We don't want to fatten up our coworkers, we want to mentally tourture them.
the easiest way to control someone is to break down their self-esteem and build them back up in your mold. i learned a lot dating girls with daddy issues
I like to think of Joe like the Jigsaw off his office.
nattysci.com has been renewed through 2012.YOU'RE WELCOME!
ESPN radio set the over/under at 26.5 for the number of times the 5 letter word Obama is uttered during the UK game.
that reminds me - super bowl prop bets are posted on thursday. I'm excited
Today's email of the day today:Heading: Snow todayThe station did not enact a liberal leave for today's snow. If you were late and have not input leave for today, please do so.
Bunch of cocksuckers.
Come to work on time or die trying.
Joe - I might have to see about getting you a Team Awesome membership card.
that's a bunch of bullshit about making you take time off
Local show is doing a fake pregame show for UK and opened it up wiht Karate Kid song, "because they're the best, around!"
Oh that's great.
Playing the Obama bit now. Radio pointed out they didn't pick the most articulate players on the team to speak to the president, but the big 3. Wall, Cousins and Patterson spoke. Cousins sounded like an idiot.
Cousins isn't that bad, I think he is pretty funny in some of the youtube videos I found. With that being said, we didn't give him a full ride because he scored a 36 on the ACT or anything.
YOu don't have to be a genius to not sound like an idiot.
Good point.
at least UK's idiots didn't need a teleprompter, haha
i haven't heard the call yet, they just played the intro w/ cal on the radio, why did cousins sound like an idiot?
you actually think cousin's could read what was on that teleprompter?
depends on what was on it i suppose. of course if he didn't like what was on it he could always just elbow it
Cousins needs to put his elbows away. That was a clean jump ball. Aggressive and stupid are 2 different things.
I wish Devan Downey was still at Cincinnati.DowneyVaughnStephensonGates
I'm about to burst a blood vessel somewhere
I think UK fans wish Downey was still at UC too.
I don't know how my coffee table isn't in pieces right now
WE need a stop here
The fans are having a good time...bastards.
Whats up with these officials looking at the tape every 5 minutes...Im waiting for Calipari to throw the red flag on the court.
No way we win this one.God I love watching Downey play and hate playing against that fucker.
Fair weather fan, we're down by 4 with the ball...give me a break.
I agree with Brent.
I haven't watched the game for shit, fell asleep putting AJ down.
Miss it
Earbud and radio... and you call yourself a fan. Even my father got us to sleep before UK games.
Awesome foul dude...still alive
Shit, I think Wall should have went up for a quick two there
Dropped $300 on a tire and now I have to watch this crap.
Isn't Darin Horn the former Western KY coach?
That's great stuff. So the dream comes to an end. Oh well, 19-1 ain't all bad right?Douglas - when is the next GOP meeting?
So did a non-freshman ever score in the 2nd half for UK?
The sad thing is, if UK doesn't win the championship it won't be because of the freshman....and that is sad.
no nonfreshman scored.I'll give a prediction on Douglas' post, and I agree with him: "This is a good loss for Kentucky. Downey couldn't miss and it took the pressure of a group of freshmen to go undefeated. This is a good loss to take at this point in the season because if they got deeper in the season they'd be more uptight in close games due to the undefeated aspect - now they can just get out there and play basketball."
Spot on Philco.It wasn't Downey not missing, he missed plenty as I think one point he was 6-29 from the field. It was our inability to rebound, as we gave up 20 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS. Seriously. I didn't see the game, but I heard we pretty much got ZERO from Patterson and Miller.
I bet Adrian broke his remote.
Whenever Adrian got his LCD tv, he called customer service and ordered a second remote. The CS girl apparently made a comment like you just bought your TV and you already broke your remote? To which he responded with well no, but I am a UK fan and basketball season just started so it's only a matter of time.
that's surprising. adrian always struck us as the levelest headed of all of us
It's really a site to see. You will never see Adrian get so pissed off other than watching a UK basketball game. He gets all red in the face, becomes cynical, and will finally throw his remote after several times of acting like he throws it.
Me, I use to watch the games with a stressball until the wife took it away. I use to throw that fucker as hard as I could against the wall over top of the TV. I had to quit that when AJ got here.
i dated a girl whose father broke 5 TVs in over a year and his doctor only let him listen to the game on the radio
i go to reddit.com a bunch and they have a section called I am A...Ask Me Anything. People with different jobs basically answer a bunch of questions.Anyways, I thought this dude answering dinosaur questions was pretty interesting:http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/commen..._who_wrote_the/
lol, so i'm watching "Human Target". The product placement of Windows 7 is absurd. They are a bit over the top. "Secret spy needs space on his desktop - BAM WINDOWS AERO TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY BY DOCKING TO THE SIDE OF THE WINDOW!"

i wrote lol. i am drunk.the deadspin mailbag is also good. the poop chicken story was especially good (Reprinted for those who can't access deadspin at work):Jason: "When I was working at my old office job and any time I'm in a public stall and someone is sitting directly next to me (which I fucking hate) I play a game of "poop chicken" with the person(s) sitting next to me. I've won some of the longest battles (30-45+ mins) sitting there, waiting for the guy next to me to get up and leave. The biggest reason for this is the fact that I hate wiping with someone in the stall next to me (I'm a stand up wiper). However, I brought up "poop chicken" during a work meeting last week with some co-workers at my new job (sales job, so we don't use the same bathrooms) and they looked at me like I was crazy. Does anyone else play "poop chicken" or was it just people trying to waste as much time as possible so they wouldn't have to really work… or am I just weird as fuck?"-------------------I think waiting someone out half an hour is taking things to extremes, but I do understand the theory of poop chicken. Imagine walking into your office bathroom and it's empty. Clear. You have it all to yourself. That's just a fucking great feeling. You go down to enjoy a quiet shit all by yourself. THEN SOME ASSHOLE COMES AND BARGES IN. The gall!Sometimes, you figure the guy will come in, piss, and then go, and you'll be back to heaven in short order. But no, sometimes the other guy will come in and just fucking camp out. And you have decide if you feel like waiting him out or cutting and running. This is a sensitive issue if you happen to be using the stall for things other than shitting, like changing pants, or fighting with your girlfriend on the phone, or tossing one out. Because you're always scared that this intruder is carefully monitoring what YOU are doing with yourself in that stall. And that freaks you the fuck out. And sometimes, the guy in the nearby stall sits down and literally makes NO sounds. No poop grunts. No preflushing. No clear sounds that announce his intentions. That is harrowing. If I'm shitting and another dude walks in and isn't making any discernible urination or defecation sounds, I always assume he's an assassin sent to kill me. I KNEW TOO MUCH.The flipside: Ever hear an odd sound come from another stall? Like, you hear a grunt, only it's clearly not a poop grunt? And then you assume the guy in the next stall is jacking it? That's a terrible feeling.I guess what I'm saying to Jason here is… SIT TO WIPE.
fantastic
Phil, I saw Steph yesterday out around lunch time. She said last night that she thought a girl I was with was hot. She is one of the O.S.O.B. girls. The divorced single mother of 2. We are now mentally torturing her with lesbian references the other guy mixed in a is this why you are divorced. She brought the fury to the krispy kreme donuts the other guy brought in with this terrified I am not a lesbian look.Am I evil?
Joe, the sheer amount of mental torture you are delivering to these women is amazing. The force is strong in you I sense.
Oh and the running joke I saw on the UK board yesterday (pre-game) was that UK was destined to lose because Obama called Cal to congratulate them on the Haiti telethon. The guy made a comment that whenever Obama gets behind something, it is destined to fail.
I agree with your post last night phil, but beyond that, UK just fucking sucked. I really didn't have a good feeling about this game. I won't necessarily blame obama specifically, but the 'distraction' as a whole definitely had something to do with it. and they just needed a wake up call, i never once thought they'd go undefeated. south carolina didn't even shoot 40%, devan downey went 9-28 or something ridiculous from the floor, and have of those 9 he made were fucking circus shots. south carolina's not a great team at all, UK just played with a stick up their ass, they played not to lose, patterson and miller totally fucking disappeared, i hope someone's found them by now. i can think of 4 or 5 easy layups / dunks they missed off the top of my head, they make one or two of those, it's a different game, b/c they all seemed to come on important possessions, definitely could've changed momentum.
i feel sorry for vandy this weekend, and really probably the rest of the SEC, we'll see how they respond, but after their embarrassment of a game last night, i'm guessing they'll respond appropriately
this is interesting, cousins and wall's average numbers over the past five gamesCousins: 17.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 57% (31-for-54) FG, 1.4 steals, 2 blocks, 1.8 turnoversWall: 16.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 40% (26-for-65) FG, 1.2 steals, .6 blocks, 3.6 turnovers
I watched the fist half last night and Cousins numbers were good, but he forced a lot of shots and it seemed that for every 1 he made 2 were blocked.
I didn't watch but the last 6 minutes of game time last night. Some guy posted that he re-watched the game and that UK missed 19 shots that would be considered lay-ups???? 19? Really?
I did watch Dodson steal one from Downey and completely missed a wide open dunk/layup which would have tied the game at 53s I think?
the dodson one hurt bad, wide open, just went up too soon to dunk and i think decided to change his mind up in the air to lay it in and fucked the whole thing up. kept all the momentum with s carolina, who went back and scored on their next possession. bledsoe did the same thing a few posessions before that one. i don't know if it was 19, but it was a lot. and you are right about cousins, he was trying to do too much at times. there were so many things wrong with the way they played last night, and they got sc's best game of the year, and they still had a chance to win in the last minute. it's a cliche, but UK beat themselves
UK lost this one by not being able to keep Downey out of the lane. No way should any team give up 20 offensive rebounds in a single game.
that's right, and there are 20 other reasons they lost, they just sucked last night. i'm not exactly going to start sounding off the alarms though. i thought they would've lost a long time ago, how they respond will be the key
Yeah, I agree. Lots of people need to look in the mirror.
By lots of people you mean "we." I blame you and douglas for not doing your part in this loss.
if by not doing my part, you're right, i didnt cheer that hard, so i might have contributed in some small way to the loss, but i don't apologize. we got what we deserved
I spoke with my sources and they said they specifically saw J_hn W_ll shed a tear today at breakfast saying he is upset for letting Bigworm and Douglas down and that he will win one for us. By us he meant J_hn W_ll, Bigworm and Douglas.
Does this mean that there's gonna be a new J_hn W_ll dance?
that is very gracious of John Wall, although he did not let us down, he was merely exposing his vulnerabilities to make us all feel better about ourselves. by allowing us to see some weakness on his part, it makes us all realize we can work on ourselves and become better people. He is a most gracious being.
and the only time you'll see a new John Wall dance will be when he's wearing a ring

Wow, Mike Thornton to USC...not so fast.10. Stephenson defensive tackle Mike Thornton told me last night he has decided not to travel to Los Angeles this weekend for a USC official visit. He has now narrowed his choices to Georgia, Kentucky and Penn State and will make his decision public at a signing ceremony at his school on national signing day.
I didn't do my part, I admit it. Fell asleep putting AJ to bed last night. I know it was me breaking my routine that fucked it up. I'll call in to Coach Cal's show and apologize. I feel terrible.

Work debate:Is it wrong to take an Asian girl on a date to get sushi?
Do you ask her or just assume she likes it?
if you're paying you can take her wherever the fuck you want, and she'll shut up and enjoy whatever slop you put in front of her
sushi is can be expensive, so I think you'll be ok. now taking a histpanic girl to taco bell....
Douglas - I like your style.Hispanic women. I think they'd find it romantic for you to bring the ingredients with yo uand have them cook for you. Or maybe that is Italian women. Who knows?
I was going to ask Cuban's take on it. I immediately went to taking a hispanic girl to El Tarasco or something like that in my head.
You should do that for shits and giggles.
I wore an El Tasasco shirt to work today!
ESPN radio reporting that a WLTX TV personality is reporting Demarcus Cousins punched a South Carolina fan twice and UK staff reprimanded him. There is no video and it is hearsay...allegedly.
I love him even more now. He is just like Magloire but much better offensively.
should be a non-issue. When video surfaced of the memphis player smacking the shit out of a UAB fan in the stands he wasn't suspended. This will go away.
only concern is the oregon football player causing this to be an issue. But that video was clear as can be.
yeah and even when he was restrained he went after the fans. completely different.
How is this different then Cousins going after a fan?
the interview with the fan:http://1075thegame.com/FlashPlayer/...23719&nID=4
did he go after the fan after he was restrained? If so, whoever restrained cousins needs an offer for a full-ride right now to UK basketball because he is a bad man.
no, after he threw his two punches a trainer pulled him away
just listened to the caller. Completely different because Blount tried to go after the fan in the stands and in this situation the fans rushed the court. Shit happens.
Shit - maybe this is what we need so he doesn't get to go to the NBA this year. I hope they tell him he needs to grow up and points to this instance because I'd love to have him for 1 more year.
I never said it was the same. My point of bringing up the oregon player is because a person was punched (not a fan) and fans did get involved. I could see if something comes up the Oregon player being used as a measuring stick and with this being recent history the NCAA being pretty strict with there being a history of recent player violence. Not sayign they will or should, but if something comes up the first thing the media will turn to is the last incident of someone being punched and fans being gone after.
The other thing is no cameras caught it. I don't even think the NCAA suspended the oregon player, it was oregon that kicked him off the team.
yeah, I was I said - oregon suspended the kid. No way does UK or Cal do anything.
Oregon suspended the kid because he embarassed the university on national TV, they had to do something.No blood no foul - no camera no issue.
I believe it is like schools reprimanding themselves before the NCAA can. Had the university not done anything the NCAA would have stepped in, or had the NCAA not felt the university handled it properly they step in. It is like schools doing their own violation control, if the NCAA feels the schools own punishment is adequate they don't do anything.
I'm not saying he should be suspended, but if a video does come up like some random cell phone video then I could see it being taken very serious because of the Oregon scenario. If it does come up and UK ignores it then the NCAA or SEC may have to step in.
i can't listen to the call at work, but no way i believe that in its entirety. exchanging words and that sort of thing, sure, but w/o more evidence than one fan talking shit, i put no stock in it. and w/o video evidence, no way UK does anything, nor the NCAA
Douglas - what was happening is from the radio broadcaster for USC saw the punches being thrown and talked to the kid after the game. They were talking about it on the morning show, and the kid called in.Many people also saw the punches thrown, and there were reports of Cousins yelling and screaming at the fans on the way to the locker room from Forde and some in the SC media. I think this is pretty clear cut what happened.
i think it's a conspiracy. even still, i kinda hope it's true, keeps him around another year. there's a whole 'nother side of swopshire's face that hasn't felt the wrath of a boogie forearm
Well the fan did admit that he lowered his head to storm the court, ran right into cousins and fell down, which means he was moving with enough force that when it suddenly came to a stop that same force was exerted on him to knock him down.In other words, the big man was pissed some fan wasn't watching where he was going. I think that is a New York howdy.
no way cousins stays around for a year. No one has seen him in class for months.
Who has time for school when you are playing basketball and nailing chicks?
oh i know, wishful thinking on my part. UK's in good with 3 of this year's top 5 recruits still, so they'll just reload, I'm not too worried about it. same for the class of 2011
So the punches were Newton and his damn physics fault
OMG...and here is the video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOD4jWaZU9wI don't see how you can see anything on that except a big arrow and a blue circle.
Dude, the video doesn't show jack...and even if it did you can't make it out.
And apparently that's not even Cousins in the video, it's actually Patterson..atleast according to people who think they can make out the shitty images.
So if anybody is listening to the radio this morning and you hear about a wreck on I-71 southbound, that was me. God is looking at for me because I do not know how a) I did not hit another car b) I did not roll off the expressway and c) another car hit me.So I am driving down I-71 and I am at the point where I-71 and I-264 are merging, all is going well and I am in the middle lane (as the far right lane has not ended yet) when the car directly infront of me stops hard. I am driving at about 60 mph, hit my brakes, realize there is no way I am going to stop before I hit the car infront of me at about 60 mph so I swerve to the right. The other imortant piece of information is that I just had my brakes changed about 2 months ago so those fuckers are still grabbing at every light tap on the brake. So when I swerve to the right into the merging lane and hit my brakes, I get the out of control wobble and then my car's ass end swings around so I am sliding sideways down I-71. Here is the weird part, I could feel the force of the car like it was trying to roll and I have no clue how it didn't but I am desperately turning my wheel the opposite way to try to get my car straight and facing the right direction. Well being a front wheel drive car I oversteer and am now sliding on the other side and back in my original lane (thank God, the cars infront of me didn't have to come to a standstill). I can hear my tires screaching like a banchee screaming into the night, steer the opposite direction, my car oversteers and slides again. This time I see a car shoot by me in the merging lane missing me by about a foot but the other traffic behind me managed to swerve or slow down enough and come to a stop. My car finally comes to rest with my ass end partly in the left lane, the rest of my car in the right lane and I am sitting sideways. The amazing thing is, I didn't hear a single crash sound, nobody hit me, I didn't hit anybody so I just kicked it in reverse, straightened up, slowed down for the two cars that stopped to make sure I was okay, waved them on and got back on my way.Talk about a way to start the morning.
Thank you J_hn W_ll

This is not a joke, t-shirts were made. However, at last check by the Danettes, the T-shirts have not gone on sale since the loss. They are still listed at full price.
oh yeah Joe, someone made reference to the shirts being made. If that isn't locker room material I don't know what is.
You know what though, even if it is short lived...much better than going to the NIT like last year.
Whenever, I start nitpicking about being in the top 10, yeah i can handle that.
In regards to the question of taking an asian girl for sushi or hispanic girl to El Tarasco, the girl in the cube next to me responded today after hearing it the first time with something along the lines of:So its like taking me to KFC. there is nothing wrong with KFC.Everyone just about lost it. I may have indirectly started a race war in our office.
so anybody hearing anything on this snow tomorrow?
Saw those shirts on yahooo or deadspin yesterday. I tried to buy them but no luck

Don't worry Joe, she made the comment so you aren't getting fired. Maybe sensitivity training but not fired.

Papa John's has a $10 special right now for a large pizza, any crust, any toppings (up to 7). I just ordered mine with sausage, pepperoni, italian sausage, and green peppers. Man that is going to be good. I figure I can eat part of it today and part of it tomorrow and for $5.30 a day, not bad.
I believe the death penalty would be acceptable for this scum bag.http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...her+son+in+1991
jesus, 7 toppings? That's a hell of a deal. Nothing like a near death experience to get the pizza ordering started.
