I'm not sure I could be higher on a possible starting forward combo than Tyran Stokes and Mo Diobate. Go ahead and try to bully us.

The Pro Day replay is on the ESPN app if you search. I just had it on mute for a second and Trent Noah's physical development leaps off the screen. Seeing him next to Jasper is really a man vs. boy juxtaposition. That is not at all a knock on Jasper.

At least the deer had enough of the neighbor’s screaming skeletons….they’re eating the display. Obviously not scary enough for freakishly large bucks roaming the mean streets of NJ.

Aaron Judge is a beast. Last night’s Yanks game is a reminder that baseball playoffs still are the GOAT. Fight me.

Local coffee roaster has a blend of beans for me that he has ready and fresh. Game changer for the coffee setup.

looking forward to Keeneland and the Texas game. Also going to Heaven Hill for a drinking event on Friday. ZBiotics in vitro, stat.

Jayroon - if I recall correctly, you once said you know the Potters. I do as well. Any chance your initials are JG?

Feels like Aberdeen is going under the radar, but he's going to be awesome imho.

Being able to have two of:

Lowe
Oweh
Aberdeen
Chandler
Johnson

On the floor at all times is ridic. Can't wait to see how whitey from Purdue and Mikel Brown wilt from dealing with that every second on the court.

- Went ahead and got tickets to the game at The Bucket. I’ve not been to a UL/UK basketball game since Pitino came back to Rupp when I was a student.

- Tasted my honey barrel finish today, 4 months into a finish and it’s fantastic.

The Orange Carucao finished 15 YO Rye is good too, but at 130 proof, yeesh it’s just not smooth. This is for Boats Medicinal group too and I’m not sure if they’d be ok watering it down.

- I think Stoops makes it until after the UT game and after that he’ll fire Bush or get fired himself.

- Cubs staying alive. Get me 1 more win and I’ll live with whatever happens in game 5.

- Vlad Guerrero is a bad man!

Whitey from Purdue! 😂😂 That casual reference cracked me up.

You planning on bringing a Louisville Slugger with you to get autographed?

I'm starting to work on my secondary rooting interests for this college basketball season. Probably going to try to catch as many games from NC State, Houston, BYU, and Florida as possible. Unless they are playing UK, I'm rooting for the Wolfpack to win every game.

Finished the Kroger Field Survey, really sounds like that want to provide a lot of amenities which will only jack up the cost .
Seems like offering patio and terrace seating is trying to attract people who are going to the game but won't actually watch the game, like a Reds outing. Good luck.
I started that thing and had to stop. How long is it? Here is what I want to say: (1) win, (2) wifi, (3) environment sucks and if tailgate ain't coming back, find a way to make some sort of event space that makes the pre and post game environment enjoyable. That's really the list now that I can buy a beer.

UK has spent the last several years telling the average fan that they simply don't matter. They've chosen to base their decision making and invest in the experiences for the people that do matter to them (tv partners, corporate partners, media, donors, coaches, etc) and the average fan simply doesn’t factor into that equation. The survey was dedicated almost exclusively to the fan appetite for more premium spaces which the average fan in this state just can't do even if they wanted to. The previous Commonwealth Stadium renovation was dedicated almost exclusively to media and premium spaces. I assume this one will be as well.

I think, rather than a patio, we install a graveyard to collectively bury our hopes and dreams…. And an official place to landmark where coaches’ careers go to die.⚰️

Kind of like Yankee Stadium, but in this case a shrine to mediocrity.

That seems unnecessarily harsh, and a drastic suggestion.

I was agreeing with you and the juxtaposition of the Yankees' historic success, as memorialized by the museum in Yankee Stadium, provides a sharp contrast to the mediocrity that is Kentucky football. A concept that I found slightly humorous.

Some of that survey was absurd.

“Would you be interested in a terraced area that has standing tables to eat and enjoy the game?”

Yeah sure that doesn’t sound bad.

“Would you be willing to purchase tickets to this area for $1250 a seat?”

….

^Exactly...Hank, it included the entertainment district at the end.. you forgot the post-game traffic concerns. To Cricket's point, they ask how much you're willing to spend when half of us ain't coming back next year.

I know.

However, as a lifelong Yanks fan ,hopes and dreams were buried at Yankee Stadium last night. 🤕

What burns me about Florida is that they did an internal investigation of the allegations against their creep coach and brushed them aside. Then they go on to win the championship. That kind of twisted karmic outcome is usually only reserved for Duke or Carolina.

Piss on Florida. I hope their football program continues to languish in mediocrity as punishment.

The Live Event industry has done a great job of making me not want to go to anything anymore. I remember going to see Dave Matthews in 98 in Rupp at the peak of his popularity. Price = $33 a ticket. My daughter wanted to go see Sabrina Carpenter in Rupp last year. Price = $400 a ticket. F that.

That was a great Dave show, was there also. Still have the Red Rocks LP CD I bought there with Watchtower on it, with the ticket inside the case cover.

Clearly a lot of people will always prefer the Jimi version (rightfully so) and maybe even Bob (meh…), but that buildup to the jam out on Dave’s version is badassery.

Note....prices have changed in 27 years.

Note 2.....you could have bought tix for a third of that.

Note 3.....take her to Bridgestone in a couple of weeks. Uppers less than $200.

Every game, WanDale Robinson gets absolutely smoked by an over the middle hit. Last night he got smashed so violently, he landed on his facemask and his legs scorpioned over his head…

bounced up like nothin.

Poor dude will eventually pay for his limitless toughness and small stature.
