THE NEW D-LEAGUE

[Simple Man]

Good morning D-League ,It's 44 and raining in my neck of the woods today.A big cold front is coming into Kentucky so the temps are going to drop dramatically for the next week and may get some snow also.I absolutely love being retired,don't have to answer to no one but the man upstairs and the wife lol.I hope the Cats play well in Baton Rouge tonight. Everyone have a great day and be safe out there.

 

[Simple Man]

Go Big Blue,

JQ out again. Not liking what I'm hearing either. Next man up. Actually they played better against Mississippi State without Lowe and JQ. We'll see.

Our tolerance of the idiots who run this place is on par with our tolerance of Mark Pope. We know that both are unapologetically punking us but we keep sticking around, thinking that at some point it will get better.

Sunk cost fallacy I guess when it comes to remaining on this message board. Too many years around a community I love, but the people who are over us are clearly effing with our tradition and they don't seem to give a damn whether we like it or not.

Son of Saul - We are UK fans to the bone, we will always love and support UK regardless of how bad it gets and how long it lasts. I am a Saints fan since living in Nola in the 90’s, and we talked about the Saints being good all year until about the 5-6th week of the season. Then we started talking about how good we were going to be next year. We celebrate any and all wins and drank away the loses. Things will get better, you just have to wait it out and hope it’s not as long a wait as it was for the Cubs. Go Cats!

I have his contact info and will PM to you. He and I both from Middlesboro.

Edit: just sent you a PM. Thanks.

So, he is still around? Great to hear. He was one of the best on here.

I'll try to find out. Thanks.

Refrigerators sux. That's all.

We are better off without him. He isn't ready and he doesn't seem willing to risk his draft stock to shake off the rust. Could say more but that will do. Hope everyone is doing good. Bad weather headed to my neck of the woods tonight. Hope the power stays on.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Go Cats!!

 

[Simple Man]

Cats will be tipping off in about 45 minutes.I hope they have there mojo working for them tonight.GO BIG BLUE !

Sounds like Mo will be on the bench to start the game. Good. His attitude has been a team downer lately.

Cord, first let me add my prayers for a speedy recovery for your sister.

I believe discourse is the opposite of intercourse. It’s when you don’t do anything, you just talk about it.

But I could be wrong.

Man, I have had a lot of discourse lately.

 

[UK 82]

Speechless! Wow!!!!

 

[warrior-cat]

Still need to fix that slow start problem.

 

[Simple Man]

What a truly awesome win for the Cats

 

[Simple Man]

For the Win

I have two out in my garage and one of them is an old Crosley Shelvador from the late 1930’s. It had been in my Mom’s garage for years and she inherited it from her Father in law who purchased it new. Still works great and to the best of my knowledge it has never been serviced.

 

[Ben101er]

For the Win

Wonder if he’s related to Laetner? Almost the exact same play.

It was a carbon copy of it,some Karma for the Cats tonight.

The only difference is that Pitino didn’t have a defender on the inbounds pass and LSU did. It was a heck of a pass by Chandler.

Yep that was a great pass by Chandler, he made a impossible pass look pretty easy.

 

[ukwildcat2004]

I would prefer to win by 24. Much easier on me.

Good morning folks. Overcast and cool -not cold -in DC. Rumbling into the city on the Red Line subway train.

Cats play tonight. I can’t lie, my interest in college basketball and particularly this team of limping millionaires is at the lowest point since 1965-1966 when dad took me to see Riley, Connelly, Dampier, Kron and the rest of Rupp’s Runts. Maybe this team will find some magic and bring me back to the joy I felt for so many years.

Struck me late last night that it was the 35th anniversary of when I arrived up with the Big Red One on the Saudi-Iraq border in preparation for writing about Desert Storm. I know Austin and Warrior were up that way. I asked to be with the division’s screening unit, so I spent many days up with the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment. The Quarter Cav. Interesting times.

We have talked about the Bernard Fall book Street With No Joy. Someone on another thread talked about a road with no joy and I thought about this. I spent some time at DaNang. There was a guard post where you could see an old French graveyard. The runway was close by with planes taking off and landing all night every night. There was a few hills between the guard tower and the runway. The sound coming through the hills was eerie, like in a ghostly movie. People claimed to see ghostly images of French soldiers. Thought you might appreciate it.

That be Crosley Field Powell Crosley Jr. Nothing before or since like the Crosley outfield terraces. Ahhhh........

Yes. D-League thread founded for wildcatdonf in late-2011 by @KaizerSosay . GYERO folks got Donfather banned for 1 day. Really upset him, so D-League founded as a direct response.

Starchief5 checking in here. Any reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

 

[UKbrassowTipIn93]

Hahaha, did my post get nuked bc i said ksbar is aight. Lol that has nothing to do with anyone personally. I gave it 3/5. Point still stands...no HD TV, outdated ribbon board, no sound for the game.

Sen-sa-tiv

 

[HymanKaplan]

If anyone knows how to get in touch with wildcat welder I'd appreciate you reaching out to me.

Good morning from ATX.

Glad Cats won. Watched first half.

Took wife again to ER last night during 2nd half. Staff ran CT scan and took X-rays. She complained about constant pain. Tests revealed cancer apparently spread to other areas.

Must still visit FL for a mandatory real-estate transaction. Visiting 17-24 Jan. She has a friend who will stay with her while we line up more chemo and other treatments. I will probably cancel trips to Marfa and Salado scheduled for next month and March.

Y'all have a good one.

On our GOD KNOWS LIST ATX!

Another poster that always posted in the old D-League was Starchief. Do you know if he still posts on here?

Starchief that guy with angry cartoon old guy avatar? That guy was great.

Bernie, thanks for sharing that anecdote about the road of no joy past the French soldiers' graveyard where people saw ghosts. That's interesting for sure. I believe there is video easily findable of the Highway of Death out of Kuwait in February, 1991. I won't describe it here, but driving it was shocking and stays with me to this day.

Big win for the Cats last night. I'm just going to enjoy them as they happen. It was fun to see a "reverse Laettner" unfold. Degree of difficulty might have been greater - LSU guarded the inbound and the guy guarding Moreno was loger than Feldhaus or Pelphrey.

This Kentucky team isn't very good, and I doubt the ceiling is much higher than we've seen already. Better teams are probably going to not have much trouble with the Cats. But we can still celebrate a little magic.

Hope you all have a great day.
