Unfortunately this happens every year:

2022 - Northern Illinois - 31-23
2021 - UT Chattanooga - 28-23
2020 - SEC Only
2019 - Toledo 38-24
2018 - MTSU 34-23
2017 - Southern Miss 24-17, EKU 27-16, Eastern Michigan 24-20
2016 - Southern Miss Loss

Those are just the bowl seasons and doesn't include the EKU game that went into OT.

* I started watching Van Hiles' First Half Breakdown. His initial assessment seems to be that the game tape is a bit more encouraging than it appeared in real time. (His breakdowns are phenomenal, btw.).

* I'm most disappointed thus far in our tight ends -- specifically Cummings. He looked like a potential future NFL player his first year under Coen. He's been trash since.

Having our tight ends be a short and immediate passing threat would be huge in opening up the offense. That's what I thought we'd be getting with Coen 2: Electric Boogaloo.

* I hope Coen is ok. He's only 37. That's pretty young to be going to the ER.

* Why are we not running the ball more? Davis is a great workhorse and Ramon Jefferson and DSK should be great back-ups. I guess if Jutawn McClain really is our second best back, I wouldn't run much either, though.

Pretty weird to see us play such slow tempo offense without trying to dominate the time of possession by running it (and to set up playaction better).

* Keeshawn Silver has been the unexpected highlight for me. He's a massive upgrade over Justin Rogers and gets consistent penetration (teehee) into the backfield nearly every time he's in the game. When he and Walker are on the field together, we have two guys who need to be doubled.

I wouldn't prefer him as a coach (obviously) but as a boss, Hubert Davis seems like far less of a pain in the *** than Cal. Imagine having to listen to all the cutesy sayings Cal tries out before settling on "poop ice cream", etc. Has to be miserable.

* Days are definitely getting shorter. It was pitch dark at 6:30 this morning for my regular walk.

During the walk, I saw a woman walk around the neighborhood while holding her arms straight out to her sides and moving them in tiny circles. I'm not talking about doing it for a little while to loosen up or adding some extra arm movement to get the heart rate up. I saw her walk at least half a mile like a damn whirlibird.

It was dark but she looked pretty smoking, too. Weird.

Biesner to UNC

Click to expand...

-Take, Cole with him. F* Biesner.

-Receivers are sophomores. Keenan had 24 catches his sophomore year in 7 games. Stevie J had one total touchdown his junior year at UK. It takes some time. Those receivers are going to be really good the last six games of the season and next year. The mistake we made is letting Magwood go. That kid would help us. Never understood it.

-I’ve tempered my expectations and hope he win win two or three of Bama, UT, UL, USC and UF. I think we will be 7-5 ish/8/4 at best. We just aren’t good enough on either line. We are short on backs in a league you can’t be. Hoping Jefferson rises up.

-So if Votto retires that frees up 20+ million for the Reds? Surely, he retires.

-NIL deals with Barion, Deone, Trevin, Ray Davis. Also, a couple of players that have worked hard to earn a smaller one with Jordan L. and DSM. We have put in the agreement they will do a podcast or radio interview. So Mitch can’t do jack **** from keeping them from KSR.

-met MKG this weekend at Kentucky Roadshow. You guys have to go over there and ask to see the UK display room. It’s unreal in there. Has some of the craziest UK basketball items in existence.

I’m scared shitless of using a mandoline. A knife is safer.

Deion Sanders is a bad man. I am not surprised by his success. When he was on the Yankees, he was a sponge of learning high-level strategy as well as nuance. He befriended Buck Showalter and endlessly picked his brain. To this day they speak regularly about baseball. Deion may have a brash style, but he’s a sports savant that is a master teacher to boot. Him at FSU would/will be lethal. Just hope UF doesn’t call first.

The Martian needing Tommy John surgery is so on brand for the ‘23 Yanks.

Is there an injury report on Ray Davis’ wrist?

I always see posts/tweets/commercials about men aged 18-55 going absolutely BONKERS for the NFL opening day, but I just don't care at all? I didn't watch a snap. I didn't care to watch a snap. But I feel completely left out bc I always see the media act like I am supposed to lock myself in a "mancave" with 3 screens going to watch Jacksonville/Carolina or some stupid ****?? Like, I'll watch a big game if I don't have anything else going on, but I can't imagine a world where I rearrange my schedule over that? And I am not talking about people having "their teams". I just mean the world acts like you are supposed to care about EVERY game.

Having said that, I did get to watch a little bit of Bama/Texas. Was glad to see those bama ******** (clark) get put in their place for a little bit. Enjoy.

I am rooting for Dieon, but the jury is still out imo. Nobody knows who is good in college football until like week 5. But I hope they're good. How fun would a Colorado-Dieon playoff run be??

Weather this week looks unreal. Probably time to get some crotons to go with the new front door my wife picked out. Front doors are real important in the age of back to school pictures, pregame pictures, halloween pictures, xmas eve candelight service pictures, etc etc.

They do, but it’s just another thing I really don’t care about? Like, my life has plenty of **** for me to worry about to be concerned with what Alvin kamara is doing? I do enough damage stressing at my sons baseball games to worry if I’m going to get 25 points in some fantasy football league. I guess what I’m saying here is, I’m a grown man with a life

Same Rax. It was storming here all day Saturday so I pretty much watched CFB from noon til end of Bama/Tex. Outside of the UK game most of that was one of the YTTV multiview channels doing ish around the house.

Didnt watch one second of NFL. Just havent been into last few yrs and havent done fantasy in prob 20 yrs.

Out of CatsPause jail, again.

*Returned yesterday from a Saturday - Sunday trip to FL. Stayed in Watercolor which is the inspiration for NC, apparently. Some of those homes are ridiculous, just massive. 8 of us rented a "smaller" one that sold for 3M a few years ago.

While not on the beach, we did have access to a 6 person golf cart we took to the Watercolor Inn Beach Club that has direct access to their private beach. I'm sure some of you have been there and know where I'm talking about.

Highlights:
-Weather was perfect
-Flights were on time
-Food was great
-One of our crew had to be wheelbarrowed from the beach (top of the steps) to the parking garage ("Wheelbarrow Drunk" is now part if my vernacular). She's a little person and had too much sun and WAY too much Summer beer.
-Not crowded from Sunday - Saturday

*Planning on making the game Saturday. Hopefully, it will be more fun than the ****-stain that took place on Saturday.

Weather looks perfect this week.

Smoked some wings and then set up the outdoor screen and solo stove Saturday night to watch football, a stupid game for stupid people.

Hard to beat smoked wings imho. Plus they take longer to cook, so you gotta build an extra 60-90 minutes of hanging out on the deck “watching the grill” but we all have to make sacrifices to live the lives we want.

— LMAO at WKU having a family day to have parents on campus to openly drink all over campus. Absolutely nothing special about it other than it’s a typical Saturday in Lexington.

My kids loved it though, and my 12YO was caught staring a couple times whether it was a white shirt with no bra or a girl’s *** busting out her jeans. Had to slip him my sunglasses after the second one.

— NFL week 1 was sad for me. Titans looked suspect and I honestly expected better. If we intentionally call anymore out routes the coach, no matter how good he is, should be fired on the spot. The QB’s arm isn’t strong enough clearly.

Bit the bullet on the Sunday Ticket. [eyeroll]

— Week 2 opinion is simple, you can’t schedule 3 cupcakes and it lead into Vandy and have our team UP for it.

You don’t have to like that coaches go vanilla but they do and it’s basically in the sets more so than the calls.

We’re good enough to get away with it and Stoops just doesn’t want to embarrass lessor schools, ever!

The staff was too excited and couldn’t conceal it for me to believe this is what it was all about. It isn’t and that’s ok we’ll see it vs Vandy.

— UF looked ok. That game will be HUGE to me for our season.

UT looks very beatable as does Bama. Discipline discipline discipline.

—Colorado will lose to Oregon, USC, UCLA, Oregon St, Washington St and Utah. That’s 6 losses even if they don’t have 1 injury.

It’s still impressive and I’m on the hype train too, but this is a great example of pump the brakes in its rightful use. 6-6 is still amazing from where they were.

— Cubs call up their top prospect and since it’s Sept he can make the playoff roster and it not accelerate his contract clock.

Crow-Armstrong is the name and the kid “looks” the part.

Color me excited.


— Edit: I didn’t see an over/under bets total for week 1 yet in the NFL but week 1&2 are usually over weeks and it felt like maybe 1 or 2 overs were hit yesterday.

- Didn't watch a second of the Bengals.......WTF?

- We Dem Boys looked pretty damn good. Don't trust Dak though.

- Has anybody gotten Sunday ticket on YouTube? Same as with DirecTv? or different? Easy to navigate?

- Didn't think Coco had it in her. Awesome.

- Novak is the absolute GOAT.

- I definitely think there is cause for concern with UK football. Not sure we can hang our hat on offense, defense, or special teams so far. I do think Leary will be fine.

- Don't really know much about this coach Beisner but I found out my wife swung by his wife's yard sale and now I am wearing new UK swag. FTW

- Got an old man in our hood who has stopped and harassed housewives' and mothers who he thinks are going faster than the 25 mph speed limit. I really hope I am close the day he messes with the wrong person.

- Bourbon drunk Saturday night caused an epic fail on the golf course yesterday. Never again.

- Never forget.

Pretty footballed out after Saturday games. Will watch Bengals but won't commit my Sunday for them or the NFL anymore.

Quit FFB about 3-4 years ago. Don't miss it. Was too worried about watching the bottom line scroll than watching the actual game. If I watch now, not worried about it.

A little disappointed Bernie wasn't just keeping a low profile to steer clear of some deranged NC husband whose wife was messing around with Bernie.

Still think cats will figure this out. Beat Akron by 30.

Had the free preview of Sunday Ticket yesterday with YTTV, all the games were just in the regular guide at the bottom. I think they were also in the "For You" section at the top. Looked pretty cut and dry.

That was a few years ago...and only for a night.

Still out getting my 5+ miles/night, just not hitting the local watering holes. Last week was the first beer I've had in 3 months...and it was great.

I've been getting out of the hood a lot more for dinner and entertainment. There's only a few people I care to hang out with anymore (NC folk) and almost all were on vacation with me.

It was a cold bucket of ice water poured on the Steelers. We got our *** kicked, plain and simple. Not all that concerned moving forward because 49ers looked amazing. They might be a legit Super Bowl team if they can keep their stars healthy (big IF with those guys' track records).

Will we play better next week or does Stoops still not want to play well and execute on both sides of the ball and will he make sure that we have a lot of preventable penalties again and make sure to remind receivers to drop balls and make more mental mistakes?

Since no one else will shitdohs:

- Was about completely done with NFL but the Jags are interesting enough to keep an eye on. Had the game on doing something in the kitchen and wife stops me to watch this hit. It was Josh Allen destroying their RB. Calvin Ridley is also really good at footballs.

- Got new neighbors that have been slowly moving things in and we haven't had a chance to meet yet. Wife was immediately under the suspicion they were renters and everything was going to ****. The first week they had a crew fixing up their garage and then a few days later put about 500k worth of vehicles in it. Going out on a limb that they're not renting and they bought that house with cash.

- Watched the Class Action Park doc last night. Holy **** what a place! But, how is that compared to what became of Fyre Festival. That maniac 100% delivered on his promised insanity at AP. Choose your own adventure and yeah, you'll be fine - *****. All the dorks got at Fyre was a poop bucket and kraft singles on bread.

- As an old, appreciate seeing Novak take down a young like that.

- Missed the fight but some ******* dog ran up on the pups the other morning. The smaller, crazier one handled business and wife said they walked her back home flanking her and on best behavior. They're so f'ing awesome.

- Am more of a foreign over domestic sports car lover until I have to replace something. Z's brake lights stay on because this little nickel sized rubber bumper just disintegrated. It's of course all the way up the brake pedal under the dash. I can see it but no, no, no you can't touch it. F'ing tiny handed people just laughing their asses off.

- Had a surgery 3 years ago. Randomly get a check back for a 1/5th of what I paid out of pocket with only the Dr's name noted on it.

- My wife had an early flight. Here I thought it was customary to be quiet, keep the lights low, soft kiss on the forehead and off you go. Not my wife. Had every light on at 3am, banging around, dogs following her everywhere then right as I feel like I went back to sleep, she texted me at 5:45 am to tell me it's 9/11.

Definitely got the alpine slide outside bowling green as a kid multiple times. It was basically parents saying, “if he dies, he dies”
