I'm not really even a "dog" person, but our 15 year old husky had to be put down in February... and the sadness was still pretty strong when it was "Post a picture of your dog on Facebook" day or whatever last week.

I'm sorry. :cry:

I like Mags' evening Periscope sessions more than the show. Good stories about former players and coaches.

One I hadn't heard...

Tubby was recruiting a major talent who ended up being really good, Reggie Hansen went on the in home with Tubby and flirted with the player's sister the entire visit.

They got back to Lexington and the player's father called Tubby and said his son would not be coming to Kentucky because of it.

-[laughing] @ Price going to Chappy in the 8th against the Cubs.

-All hands on deck over at the stadium. Potsy finishing drywall, Cal caulking toilets, Stoops hanging ceiling tiles. Coming down to the finish.

-Is there a music app where your friends or people at the party can select songs for the queue? If not that would be a dope app. Tailgate mix on pandora is fine tuning.

-Granite guy in Lex rec?

-Delta sucks. Don't think I've had a positive experience ever on that airline.

-Think some people need to temper expectations a little. 18 freshman(tr or rs) on the 2 deep. Think like 8 of those are at LB, a pretty important position. Future looks good though. I love the foundation Stoops is laying. Bowl game and I'm optimistic. That has to be the floor with this team and 8 home games but 8 regular season wins? I don't see it.

-Mitch was pacing around the entire time looking like a damn maniac. The man is not in a good place, imo
He is making every UK athletic team member, UKAD employee, & their families put in some hours this week getting the stadium ready for Saturday? Wow.

It's too early to really know **** but those are the type of lines you can profit on early!

I love those 10.5 lines for the favorite, just seems like Vegas is begging you to take the points.
Used to love those early season lines in my day as a college football gambol.

One of the only good things about law school- tons of gambol. Sports, cards, tricks, everything but late night monkey knife fights in the student lounge.

I don't know if it's still around but there use to be a setting in iTunes where people could vote or request songs via the remote app on iPhones.

I get "let's be part of this awesome experience!!!!" but they are running WAY behind. Don't make the rest of your employees suffer b/c the work is behind schedule. Especially the employees who have NOTHING to do with the construction, and helping with the construction is WAY BEYOND their job description.

I'm sure it was voluntary, but...

Me & AP.com just walk up to the music TV, grab the remote, and put on that West Coast gangsta **** when we get the itch to hear a real jam.

Works fine.

Seems like a terrible idea. I'd say most of those people are just in the damned way of the actual stadium workers.
Pretty much and I doubt they were actually there "helping out" more than the staff showing off the new place. Team building and such. Just get my man SAE some f*cking peanuts and it was well worth the 200M.

Settle down and grab a Coke fellas. 4 days.

I just thumbs up'd "I'm in Miami Trick" and I'm taking the batteries out of the remote. LMFAO, Miley and Taylor Swift are going to dominate the airwaves.

I've had experiences where well meaning but stupid upper managers get this brilliant idea. "It is all hands on deck, drop what you normally do and come pitch in to get this important project done! We are all one big team, the more hands the better to help us meet our goals!!"

Meanwhile the people who actually know how to do the work are now distracted having to teach morons what to do rather than spend their time actually accomplishing the assignment.

leadership!

Meh, your music pretty much sucks but it's part of the fabric at this point.

As long as Bonzo is banned from the list I'm cool.

Best case scenario is Stoops building this thing, bouncing to a Big 10 team, and Les Miles being simultaneously fired at LSU then hired at UK, right? I want that dude in Lexington at some point.

"Hey gang, I built this stage just this morning out of soggy cardboard boxes, glue, old discarded staples, gum, and love. Here goes nothing ... and a little song called CADILLAC RANCH! WEELLLLLLLL ..." (STAGE COLLAPSES, THOUSANDS DIE, CMPM SURVIVES WITHOUT A SCRATCH)

Right around 3:30 Saturday I'd like for my twitter TL to be breaking news of Mathew Mitchell and Scratch being carried away to UK hospital for non-life threatening heat related injuries.

Crack a fresh collide, turn "Cat Scratch Fever" up a notch or two, and give the nearest Wildcat Friend a wink and a gun.

It seems like half the fanbase is in a new parking area. Has UK released a traffic plan so these people actually know where they're going?

-Appreciate everyone's kind words. Really do. Gonna be tough for a while. This morning was awful when I got up and he wasn't around wanting to play before I left for work. House felt so empty.

- Saturday can't get here soon enough. Haven't able to enjoy an all day tailgate into a night game in years.



- Despite my redass all summer about the construction issue I can't express how excited I am to see the new digs. All I've thought about since April.

- Offense is going to be fire. Depth, playmakers and a swash buckling offensive coordinator in Dawson whose attitude is rubbing off on our players.

- Worried about youth getting exposed on defense... Especially at linebacker. Hatcher coming back will be huge. This is the year he takes the leap.

- Bonz is a wildcard with his tunes selections. One minute he cranks awesome stuff like Seger or G & R and the next minute he's air guitaring to Megadeth while people clear the deck and head inside.

- Dometos in the can for Saturday. Nothing else for an all day into the night situation.
