The current admin is determined to stop energy being generated by anything other than burning gas and coal. No more solar or wind.

I can’t even remember when they opened in 1975, but 4 seems likely.

Big increase percentage wise, but in terms of dollars still a reasonable price. IMO of course.

I will guess 9-10 guys might score double figures in at least one game.

So Florida, UT, and Vandy are the 3 teams UK plays twice. Seems like since Barnes took the job at UT UK has played them twice most every year.

I’m guessing he’s never watched it, but still a very nice way to send a message by those gals. That’s the world many Republican men actually want.

It’s indicative that with all the crap Trump is doing I now find myself agreeing with Rand Paul at times. Crazy times indeed.

I like historical novels. A fictional story set in a historically accurate time and place. Any recommendations?

Books have been a refuge for me my whole life. I wish more people would read.

Trump will just redirect them with a sharpie.

Nothing like a Formula 1 race over breakfast at 7am. In Rome no less. Mad respect for NASCAR and Indy car drivers, but these guys are the best on the planet.

I would go for Thoroughbreds, or maybe Stallions for UK, but Horses is close enough.

The Constitution can be changed, but it’s a difficult process requiring a lot of steps as it was designed to be. The last is 38 states have to ratify it. Not likely in our current environment. It also requires 2/3’s of the House and Senate to approve. It takes consensus to change the Constitution.

My thought exactly. If Trump can run for a third term so can Obama.

Finished the new NF series “Race for the Crown” last night. Really enjoyed it. Like most native Kentuckians I love horses and Thoroughbred horse racing. If you share your that, even if you don’t I think you’ll love/like it.

Isn’t he holed up in Vegas with a gay lover? Just asking, but I saw it on Twitter so it must be true right?

Remember it’s not Fox News, it’s Fox Entertainment. They just lie constantly so maga can believe all is good while Rome burns.

Mine is optimistic. About UK’s chances tonight. As for Kentucky politics I’ll stay out of it.

I just worried about UK beating Troy.

You do realize every team in the SEC was all white at the time as were many programs around the country.

Their racism is unparalleled. They want to rewrite history. They will fail.

If trump thinks you won’t fight back he’s an idiot. Of course we already knew that.

I just ask an AI engine what is UK men’s BB win loss record since 1957 the year I was born. I got pages of info, but in the end the record which it said may not be exactly correct was 1,475-471, a 74.6 percent over 68 years to this very day. Along the way 5 titles. Granted I was 11 months in 1958.

13 SEC teams projected to make the NCAAT! The ACC? 3 tied with the MTN West.

I really like his latest bracket which has UK playing in Milwaukee. Two games they can definitely win, and onto Atlanta for the regional. Think maybe UK fans would overrun that venue giving UK a great to beat the 2 and get to final. Play for a shot at the F4!

The over/under was I believe 170.5. The two teams scored 174. They picked the wrong winner, but it’s uncanny how good the mathematicians working for Vegas have gotten at predicting the total points.

09.03.2025 00:59 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

They made 26 of 33 for 79%.

I’m guessing UK does not have a lot of us fans who know Japanese. I think it’s great.

What a day! UK wins at Missouri, and I just took a 6 mile hike in the Flatirons on a cloudless, calm 55 degree day. Now I’m soaking it all in watching other CBB games. Sometimes UK BB makes me sad, but other times so happy. I’m fired up for the post season!
