That big Aussie 7-footer Ike Humphries has signed and is coming on board for this season.

Love this move. Gives them another big body, no threat to 2016 recruits, foul protection for Skal, and has some talent.

sportswriter was always one of those pie in the sky not really gonna happen dream jobs for me. serious question about this profession = does being a normal looking human being give you a huge leg up on the competition? soft skills, if you will?

because it's amazing how many of these dudes look like trolls. for every sharp dressed adam schefter there's like ten brian windhorsts, peter kings, or john claytons.

just curious in case I change professions. you'd have to imagine it's a big sigh of relief when the editor thinks "shew, thank heavens. one were not embarrassed to eventually put on television."

note: this could be a boon to t-walds career for sure

Brandenburg didn't make it to UK that I'm aware of.

Casey Co. represented with a few nuts we hung with tho. (Sami)

-Definitely been fun to watch Waldron's career arc, and I fully expect it to continue upwards.

I feel where SAE was coming from.

Back when they weren't even 2 years old yet, ol' fylm made a comment about how his son was going to be waxing my daughter one day.

Silly, harmless comment but I ain't gonna lie… inside my blood was boiling. Had to really work hard to hold my tongue.

I am not going to handle the teenage years very well, I'm afraid.

Interesting crop of bigs for 16/17:

Lee- senior jumping jack
Humphries- soph 7-footer
Wynyard- freshman bruiser
SKJ- freshman skill and stretch guy

Jeff Goodman is on ESPN... all the time. I hate saying it but the dude honestly appears to have downs. So no, I don't think they care.

I love Playball06 and am proud of him, wish him all the best, but not a big fan of that/his type of sports journalism. Seems to me the kind of angles that take the profession too serious- The Sports Reporters type of stuff. JMO.

Seems to be more of a real journalist than a sportswriter. Not really my thing either, but it certainly takes more talent/skill than the latter.

No doubt. Like I said, there's a market there and I know many disagree. Just a take from the kind of dude who loves the Jim Romes and Bill Simmons and has nothing for the Mike Lupicas out there.

I'm not even a HUGE fan of Outside The Lines, although I occasionally will tune in.

I thought it was pretty much understood by all male humans that any and all comments about daughters are off-limits and jokes better off unsaid. Of course, GYERO ignores this.

Just keep your daughter jokes in your pockets, funny guys.

Skull cap sounds better than beanie. I believe Willy's people also use the term yamaka.

Maybe you could google the Edge from U2, he might have a whole line of designer headgear.

Did Glenmary golf course close? For us yokels from Bardstown traveling to Louisville thru Fern Creek it was considered the land of milk and honey. I played that course once. Did anyone still live out there?

It's been on the verge for years...

Great neighborhood and was a really nice/fun course back in its prime. Some really cool holes w/ some severe elevation drives. Such is the nature of golf/courses & country clubs pretty much all over these days, although things do seem to be on the rebound a bit over the past year or two.

-So yesterday the story blew up about Shaun King, one of the voices of the Black Lives Matter movement, and how he may actually be white, instead of claiming to be black(or bi-racial) all these years. He grew up in Versailles, so I wondered if 80 Proof knew him growing up? Controversy and drama just seem to follow the guy, but his stories have seemed fishy from the beginning.

Knew him pretty well starting at about 4th grade, we were on the same teeball team. Back then he claimed to be white, by middle school he claimed his dad was black. I never really cared that much either way, and never had any personal problems with the guy. A lot of people didn't like him because he was sort of a smartass, and of course we were in a small town with a lot of closed minds. I don't remember this big fight he claims happened (I know the guy that said he witnessed it and he would have no reason to lie), just knew that Shaun disappeared to another school.

That said, there are a lot of questions about Shaun and how trustworthy he is. Many claims of him raising money for charity that never got distributed, and some of his positions are pretty polarizing (he seems to be on the fringe a lot).

It's been pretty weird to watch though, my facebook feed has been quite a show with so many people voicing their opinion for whichever side they fall on.

Uhhhh, I don't think it's your looks that's going to keep you from being a sportswriter.
The fact you don't know **** about sports is probably going to come in to play.
You could tell them you travel all over the country to run 100 miles on other states pavement.

The last great instrumental?

Lot of classics from the 60's... Green Onions, Grazing in the Grass, Soul Finger (always enjoy at Wildcat games), Walk Don't Run.

Lost musical art, imo.
