For Christmas I bought two tickets to the Tennessee game on Feb 7 for my son and I to go together. Set me back a little over $400. If I had waited until now, I'm sure I could find some cheaper prices LOL. So - I'm going to stay somewhat engaged with the BB team until then. I'm not optimistic that the team will get things turned around.

My wife, as ****** as this team is, has been after me to get tickets for a game. We settled on this weekends game with MSU. I've been looking since Christmas. Prices didn't move much starting at $150 for baseline uppers and $300 for baseline lowers. Marketplace slightly lower, but just sketchy as hell.

I was checking Friday evening(haven't checked prices since) and UK had just released a couple hundred never-solds. $106 for any upper and $226 for any lower(except the really low ones). I thought about posting my good luck, but then thought "was it really good luck?" I didn't want to burden anyone else to sit and watch this slop.




I'm done buying for the year, but does anyone know of a secure marketplace group? I belong to a KC Chiefs one where the administrator vets the season tickets holders. No randoms are allowed to sell. I was also vetted that I am real. You pay the administrator and then the STH releases the tickets. The seller, buyer or combination "tip" the admin for their trouble, no set fee. That process really eliminates a lot of ******** and TM fees.

Ahh... projection

"The (MAGA) party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
George Orwell-- 1984"

First fallacies, then blatant lies, then avoidance of a direct response to questions, and finally just projection. Lie-berals... anything to protect their false reality and failed, but grandiosely virtue-signaling ideologies.

Tune in tomorrow for more of the same until you stop engaging them for no good reason

Agreed. Just awful. Its not why we lost...but the officiating was a crap show. That one play where JQ was fouled like 3 different times by 3 different players going for a rebound and not called...just for the refs to whistle a little touch foul on UK 5 seconds later was something else.

I'm really tired of awful officiating in sports. I'm tired of these sports leagues doing absolutely nothing about it too. Then again...maybe they want it to be like the way it i$.

Same.

I'm going to watch maybe one more NFL football game, (my Steelers and their anemic offense being crushed by the Texans), and maybe Oregon in the semifinal. Don't think I'll get back on board with basketball until Mar-- AFTER spring football practice

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. I seriously considered getting tickets for the game on Saturday against State, but UT is a more marquee opponent (ie., we're much more likely to lose to them), plus I want to instill my son with an intense dislike for UT.

Another nice thing about the game on Saturday is that Rupp's Runts will be honored. This could very well be the last time that most of the living members of that team will be together.

I remembered you was a former democrat. Now I know you worked for WUKY. I think that’s very interesting.

What makes wealth folks ripe for indoctrination? Ability to imbibe in such things without worrying about the usual hiccups in life?

I don't think you actually do, but that's not entirely accurate anyway. And that's not why affluence makes one more susceptible to indoctrination, for which there are a myriad of factors wrt to susceptibility. Incidentally, no, we aren't all in our own carefully curated media algorithms which we use to form our opinions.

Not everything you don't like is Fascism. Get a real education. Simple. As. That.

Fascists gonna fascist. MAGA is deviant.
As if on cue.

I'd say takes one to konw one, but you don't even know what actually is one, much less that you are one.
How does someone being run over fire into the driver's side window?
She was fleeing because masked goons surrounded her car and she was not a subject of any ICE arrest warrants.
Midterms are coming and so is karma.

I'd be careful with that axe... you will be sorely disappointed when people feel the effects of this economy's roar, and going down another year of burnin lootin and murderin like you did with floyd won't work again.

If it werent' so consequential (people are dying), I'd encourage you on the course you've chosen. IT will not work.

"The (MAGA) party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
George Orwell-- 1984

Tough to shoot someone thru the driver's side window when you're "being run over".


You can't just invert arguments against you towards your opposition and assume they maintain the same validity. I told you that before.

I don't agree with Trump's hyperbole, but no one should ever go to you people for interpretation of anything... "your eyes." :rolleyes: You are the blind leading the blind, and people are dying because of it.

Your nonsense is getting people killed. You are responsible, you are complicit, not law enforcement doing their job. You.
Gonna be real hard to square the logic of "being run over" align with rounds fired thru the driver's side window.
Not for me it won't. The logic of what occurred is plain as day for anyone with the eyes to see (that's not yoU). Trump's lie (mistake?) is just you getting a dose of your own medicine: turnabout is fair play. As the equally morally bankrupt distinct liberal voice quipped, play stupid games win stupid prizes. Difference here is that the right aren't celebrating her death for her political opinion, as you are, as you did with Babbit and you so disgustingly did with Kirk, nor do I believe they will shamelessly exploit her death to advance their agenda as you never fail to do. Though I guess I could be wrong there, Trump's mistaken hyperbole evidences that possibility. I think Trump might see the rake you've stepped on. Go right ahead.

No need to talk in riddles. Go ahead and enlighten. How are affluent folks more susceptible to radicalization?

I'm not talking in riddles, nor am I here to enlighten you. I don't respect you enough for discussoin, either. I'm not Republican, nor a conservative. They will reach out across the aisle to find common ground. You can talk to them, ask them.

So dumb, he can't keep track of the number of rounds that the masked ICE thug expelled thru the driver's side window.
Say her name. Nicole Good.

Say his name...Capt. David Dorn. Do I need to remind you who he was? He was an off duty officer who went to protect a friend's store from getting looted when your ilk burned Minneapolis, and he was shot by friends of yours. H ell, maybe you were there.

Say his name...Capt. David Dorn.

Pretty sure that’s becasue the state has no jurisdiction over federal officers who are operating in the line of duty, educator.

Everything makes sense when you consider the following seven immutable truths:

1. A large majority of native-born Americans strongly oppose Democrat policies.
2. The only way Democrats can win national elections is to import new voters, both legal and illegal.

3. The way to ensure that the newly-imported voters vote Democrat is to give them free stuff, whether via fraud or legal wealth redistribution, or both.

4. Trump’s efforts to deport illegals are therefore an existential threat to the Democrat Party and its policies.

5. Because of the foregoing, it is imperative to Democrats that they shut down ICE operations.
6. A key factor in the attempt to shut down ICE operations is to create martyrs.

7. Dead SUV Karen is a martyr. Deep down they are glad she is dead, because they NEED her to be dead.

It’s easy. They don’t have to face all the negative reactions to their beliefs. Their money shields them from their stupidity.
Sure, money shields them of their actions, but there’s other social contracts that moderate them.

political spectrum is going to look like a bell curve with every class and every profession. I do appreciate you responding.

I had a long time friend use the "shoot the tires" scenario to me today. We have never agreed politically, but it never got in the way of a friendship until today. They were adamant this ICE agent committed murder, and I essentially ended the conversation once the tire part came out of their mouth. Explaining this would have been tiresome, and gotten us nowhere. We will be fine eventually once this blows over, but for the life of me I don't see how anyone w/ one ounce of common sense can't dissect what happened.

Sure you do. But no, it does not. Even a cursory look at what the data actually are will prove you wrong; there i smost definitely not a simple bell curve across every class and every profession.

But that's not the point. Why would (it certainly does) affluence make one more susceptible to radical leftist indoctrination, in particular? Why would such an upbringing make one more susceptible to the mental illness that is the woke mind virus? Why would they specifically be more likely to swallow the lies, distortions and half-truths, you tell in "school?"

It's because they think he shouldn't have shot, didn't absolutely need to shoot.

Which is something I agree with. If I put my self in those shoes, I don't shoot cause I've jumped out of the way... but I'm more athletic than that guy and I didn't just get dragged 300 feet by an illegal immigrant running his car at me in the course of doing my job. I'm also not arrogant enough to monday morning quarterbakc and presume that what I would do is exactly what someone else, someone who is (presumably) properly trained, should do in a split-second decision.
