Was forced to make this same drive last summer and thought the same thing from Montgomery south. Then I hit the Florida panhandle, which basically resembles eastern Kentucky without mountains, and realized southern Alabama wasn’t so bad after all. ...

Its interesting the lengths you're taking to carry Water for Calipari's last few years making up things about NIL and acceptance. Must be what Cal is planting in the medias ear.

An All-American

Just last night I watched a NBA second round playoff game where SGA, a MVP candidate, was being guarded by PJ Washington, a starter. It dawned on me that these guys were teammates at UK. That same UK team actually had 7-8 NBA players on it.
Then I read this thread and was reminded of all the tra...

The general premise here is just an awful, awful take designed solely to antagonize, troll and bait, etc….
However, after one has been there and done that and checked that box off the list, a day at Dollywood versus the all encompassing shite-show involved with attending the derby may just be a ...

Failure. Cal was barely hanging on in public opinion before the season and a loss today would result in pure anger and hatred directed at Cal. It would be exacerbated by the fact Reed Sheppard is basketball royalty in the state and Cal would be the scapegoat for failing him during his likely only se...

This a huge sports moment because it’s more than sports. It’s a reminder to anyone that no matter how far one can screw up their own life, no matter how life can tear you down mentally and physically, you have the power and choice to make amends, persevere and refuse to let go or give up.

Posted by ummagumma on 8/31/18 at 9:18 pm
For the most part, every women, hot or otherwise, generally has more insecurities than even the most average of guys. They just rarely have these insecurities brought to the surface by a guy because most guys let their own insecurities get in the way and control them from the beginning.

Honestly, I think most UK fans simply do not know how to process these kind of upcoming seasons. There is a weird but real sense of hope but it also comes with an equal sense of fear and doom.
Last year, the regular season could have easily been another 5 win season...or on the flip side...could...
re: Regardless of the actual fight, Mcgregor won last night. Actually, he dominated.
Posted by ummagumma on 8/27/17 at 8:36 pm
You all seem to be overly obsessed with moral victory/butthurt theme...so here is the simple shortbus version:
(1)Conor wanted a huge payday that UFC can't provide but boxing can.
(2)Conor targeted the only man in boxing who would create that kind of payday.
(3)Mayweather likes money too and f...

Posted by ummagumma on 8/27/17 at 4:32 pm
You're correct that Mayweather had the ultimate say if he wanted the fight and if he wanted another big payday. He also got to dictate financial and contractual terms. No argument there.
However, going by the timeline for at least the past 2 or so years, this wasn't his thing, he didn't come up ...

An average adult sports fan knew likely knew who Mcgregor was before this. I'll give you that. That doesn't equal a household name though. Because you also have a ton of non-sport fans and a whole slew of kids who never even knew who Floyd Mayweather was before this thing.
Now many of those peop...

Is it a moral victory? For me....sure, if you want to look at it that way. I'm just a casual fan who is not alone when I say I have really started to dislike the sport of boxing.
So it is somewhat satisfying when all the boxing diehards feel vindicated about a 10 rounder and talk down to everyo...
