I chuckle at the thought of Billy Joe Wildcat getting all hard and erect seeing three white dudes out there.

Not quite 2002-03 Senior Night but a helluva response to Saturday.
Needed that. Mardi Gras, LSU, trials and tribulations, eat my *** enemies. GBB.
F yeah, the o/u of Zach Tow's amount of time in the game tonight was 0.1 seconds and I hit over! Fanduel also gave me a 5x multiplier capped at $500 for making a deposit with my third credit card in six months! Can't wait to spend my winnings on some basic ***** UK merch booooyz.
Apologies for the obnoxiousness of quoting myself, but did want to briefly report that my old man called me .5 seconds after the final horn to comment on the “three Kentucky white boys” that were on the floor at the same time previously.
Been a long time since we've sent off anywhere this large of a "senior" class, obviously. And all 6 strong contributors too. Had forgotten how it feels to be misty about that.
Special group, could not ask for guys who were more appreciative for their chance to play for the front of the jersey. They got here just in time to remind us what that's like. It means everything.
Nice to see us play close to peak again. Would love to have seen what our record would have been at full strength all season.
Hope they can do some serious damage March, to prolong it for us and also for themselves, and to justify The Journey.
Our biggest wins this year far outweigh the losses, imo. They gave us back a lot of joy, which we've been missing for a decade.

The fact that game lasted 1:49 just pisses me off even more. Proof that ESPN could have been moving the games along faster all along.
100% agree but I don’t think he’ll just sprout this season and that’s more about me keeping expectations in check than his ability to put 2-3 games together that leaves BBN hyped about a Super Soph season incoming.
Chandler doesn't need to be spectacular, just solid.
Chandler is from Ashland, holds several records at Paul Blazer.
My pops was a baller for Holy Family. Played against Larry Conley a few times when Blazer won the state title.
When it's a blowout, a lot of fouls are looked at with a blind eye......same as the HP ump expanding the zone in the late innings of a 10 run game. Last night didn't "prove" anything.
It proved you can finish a college basketball game in 1:49.
WTF is wring with you?
(don’t answer that)
And I listed the reason why.
One of us has ref'd basketball and ump'd baseball.....and it wasn't you. Go get a doughnut or something.
Oh, snap!
Had no idea I was dealing with a pro.

One thing I like to do when I'm working the 8-10 rec ball league is ask to review at the monitor. A lot of the leagues don't record but I did have a mom come up to me one time and tell me she had proof of at least 4 calls I missed on her cell phone that she would be sending to the league president.
Almost didn't pick up my $20 check that night fellas.
Anyways, I told you that to tell you this, not every incidental contact is a fowell, unless you're an SEC ref. Last night was the first time in forever that the ticky tack **** wasn't the star of the show.

Every time I saw "Zach Tow" on socials last night, I read it as "Zach Top".
On a related note, Zach Top is terrific.
Go Big Blue and whatnot, etc.

I love push mowing. I don’t have the time but I love it.
LSU is awful awful. Still, nice to beat a team like we were supposed to, and look pretty in the process.
March is gonna be a ride. I have no clue what to expect from this team. Just make it to the second weekend, please.
Weather next week is looking prime time.
Just got a newish 4Runner and I’ll be dang if the new LandCruisers didn’t catch my eye after the fact. Man those are dope as heck. Probably right behind the late 90s model in my book. That’s the all time best looking SUV. Alternate Creeksman lives out west and is a Toyota 4WD enthusiast with a fleet.
It’s almost Elly De La Cruz season.

I couldn't imagine rolling up to an out-of-region basketball contest and see UKO come out in a striped shirt ready to conduct the captain's meeting at the circle. I mean, boy howdy!
I'm guessing as a teenager, reffed the toddler YMCA games, and is a "former referee" any time he needs to play that one.
No
I reffed one basketball game when I was 13-14yo. It was 10-11yo game and The refs didn’t show up so me and a friend were talked into doing it. By the end of the game I think we had called maybe 4 fouls and both coaches were severely upset with us. Last time that ever happened.
Also umped little league games when I was in HS for a little extra spending money. That was a lot more fun and pretty good cash for a kid.
Point is at that level anyone can do it, UKO included.

Such a fun run from these dudes.
that 2014 Wichita team we beat in elite 8 was an incredible, almost forgotten team that was bonkers.
That game was a second round game.
The Committee set it up for the perfect narrative -
Team whose coach fueled talk of 40-0 all preseason then underachieved to that point
vs.
Team that was actually 34-0 going into the NCAAT.

Well we were second in the SEC and lost to a No. 1 seed by a single point in the SEC tournament. We should have been a 4-seed. Do your job, NCAA tournament.
