Wednesday HOT Takes:fire: (TM):
- My college nostalgia really flares in late August, early Fall. College was the best. Early 20s isn't far behind it. You had more responsibility but also some $$$, 90% of your boys were still single and you had things a little more figured out.
But college- sweet, sweet college. Just the women alone. There's more talent at WT Young on a random Tuesday than any bar I've been to in the last 15 years. Want to randomly go out to Keeneland and get hammered on a Thursday at noon? No problem- you can gather up a crew in a matter of minutes...and this was pre cell-phone. $5 tickets in good seats to watch the basketball team you've loved your entire life. Every weekend involves three nights of partying. Everybody is 18-22. Your parents are so happy to see you every 5-6 weeks that they buy you $100 worth of groceries. I get so jealous of these just-graduated HS seniors. They have no idea how much fun they're about to have starting here in a few weeks.
- So, apparently the US Bank Arean eyesore is getting a major renovation. The location is great and, much like Freedom Hall, there aren't many bad seats in the place, BUT it's old and a relic of the 70s. Not sure if UC will eventually just play their games there or what.
- Is my office the only office that sends people cards on a daily basis? Someone loosely connected to us gets the flu and we have to send a card. I don't see the point in cards to begin with. Unless they're homemade or have $$$ in them, what's the point? Save the $1.99 and just buy me a pack of Peanut M&Ms.
- How good/bad do you think SAE is at selling nonchalance when his wife decides to go out of town for the night? I guarantee he gives it away.
- Cal's a stud recruiter overall, but he is particularly good at either getting in early or closing rapidly on guys who seemingly blow up out of nowhere. Look at this of guys who all of the sudden got BIG and Cal closed on before the other coaches knew what hit them:
Bledsoe
Kanter
Davis
Murray
