Kentucky Windage

Final from Latonia

Plummer has had no time. 

Bend but don't break, Cards!

Plummer just forced a ball to the endzone for an INT. Cards stopped then on defense.  Let's go!

I used to love a good "Mark it down" statement. 

This one doesn't seem like too far of a stretch. I don't think anybody would be too surprised. 

Blast from the past!

The weapons are there. We just need to rebound better. But this definitely looks more like your "classic" Calipari team. 

Major kudos to my Cards fans on BGP!

Jukebox Ray Ray!

Texas was all in with their run defense against the Bama run offense. Not only did they shut them down, they straight up dominated them in the trenches.

Was definitely a fun game to watch. 

Sometimes, especially early in the season, I think Stoops gets intentionally vanilla against his early season "cupcakes". I'm not trying to be an apologist for his team, just more so saying what I've seen out of them in the past couple years.  Clearly, I think they are capable of more offensive production. 

An absolutely brutal loss for Brossart. If you watched the game I don't think there would be anyone,  who was unbiased, that walked away thinking that Bethel was better. 

Brossart had 5 turnovers (3 fumbles, 2 INT's with one being a pick 6). Mustangs struggled with momentum. Poorly timed flags coupled with the turnovers were really all you need to know about this one. 

With pepper and a cracker, absolutely! Great pre-meal treat. 

Wind gusts are definitely picking up here in Alexandria. Saw a couple dust devils in the construction site I'm at. 

These guys are just fun. Selfless, self-aware, fundamental baseball. It's so fun to see. 

Hey Zeus😑

So, my initial take on the pitch clock was that it'd be something that I wouldn't like. I was a traditionalist. 

After attending an MLB game the other day (when Cruz hit his first bomb) that all changed. The game needed sped up. It's a whole lot easier to keep your attention on the game now. I was home and in my bed, on a weekday 7:10pm start time game, by 10pm. I feel like I can take my kids to a weekday game now without fear of being out until midnight. That beautiful. 

The positives, by far, outweigh the negatives.

I have loathed Jimmy for some time, especially how he handled the Minnesota situation. But now I co-sign on what you say.

His comment about having a "team of dogs" just absolutely resonates with me. That, plus I love upsets. 

I haven't watched any NBA until now, but Jimmy Butler has instantly become my favorite player. Dude's a stud!

Dickerson won’t come if Oscar is here. Which Oscar declared today, so now I will change that to Oscar won’t come back to UK if he drops out of the draft. 

I disagree with Dickerson not being a good passer. I watched a decent amount of games of Michigan this year and  He is actually really good at passing it out from the post. He does a really good job at being able to pass it across the court when teams try to double him.  His passing level is 100 times better than what we got from Oscar. So I think it would be a great improvement in regards to passing and ball movement with him. 

Interior passing was a huge problem this year.

Just saw some guy on NFL network talking about the draft. His Mock Draft has Levis dropping to Minnesota at the 23rd pick.

He also thinks Anthony Richardson is the most dynamic player in the draft and should be picked no later than 4th.

If Richardson goes that high, then I could totally see him as the next Akili Smith. He seemed uncomfortable and at times unconfident at Florida. Maybe that's because he was raw, maybe if he ends up in the right system he can succeed. I just don't see it, but I ain't no Mel Kiper either.

I keep seeing a lot of people say things similar to this. I'd say Clarke handled it being throw back at her just fine. She didn't and hasn't responded to Reese in any fashion from what I've seen.

Yeah, not really commenting on her response necessarily, more so the response from everyone else who took issue with Reese.

This game is boring.

Care to explain?

I got no problem with what Clark did. I also got no problem with what Reese did. 

I didn't even watch that game. But due to all this pub I had to give it my time. 

If Clark doesn't want that heat, then don't act like that. Most competitors will respect competitors who just play and let the game speak for them. She put it out there and she got it back. 

I was always a very vocal teammate, but I almost never gave opponents the satisfaction of a response. Maybe she's one of those people who gets off on that, but to me if you do it... be ready to get it back. 

I got no heat on Reese.

Jeff Goodman says don't be surprised if Oscar comes back and gives it another go around at Kentucky.

I hope so. Oscar is that Sanogo level player. This year he was missing a rim protector like Clingan. Cats were just missing a couple tools to make it all work. 

Hopefully next year will be different...I feel confident that it will be especially if Oscar is coming back.
