Wow 20 blocked shots? 20 turnovers for UK? Looks like Billy G basketball, I thought the Git said the Cats were playing good ball. Sorry Cats fans, but with the blow out loss tonight at South Carolina who isn't even a ranked team puts UK on the bubble. Everyone knows that the committee looks at the last 10 games or so and with this loss UK has lost 5 out of its last 8.. UK will lose to LSU and that will make it 6 out of 9, then Georgia thats a easy win 6 out of 10.. UK should beat FLA which will make it 6 losses in there last 11 games, if they even beat FLA. None of the teams they lost to are very good or even ranked as well as the teams they have beaten aren't ranked or very good either.. UK's strength of schedule is 63 and their RPI before the South Carolina game was 62, they don't have 1 quality win and are 2 and 4 against teams in the top 50 and haven't beaten a team in the top 25... The horrible loss to VMI will hurt them as well as Ole Miss.. Its still possible UK gets in, its just their resume doesn't look good.. Tonights game was even spread and UK was dismantled.. Once again turnovers destroyed UK and lets be honest good teams will take advantage of this against UK if they do make it to the Dance..
The birthday girl sliding. As you can tell, she hated it.
The honest one and Maddie sliding.

Happy Birthday to Kate
Kate and little "Cowboy Spilla", with original Spilla in there too.
Maddie acting silly with her friend Sarah. She is Brian Noffsinger's daughter in case you were wondering. Brian's wife, Christen, is Kate's babysitter. Maddie and Sarah played soccer together last season.
Thug night at Bouncin B's
These girls brought the aforementioned "thugs"
Everybody's favorite Godmother from the 1990's, still rockin the tye dye, Jackie McRoy.
These pics of Bruce with young hotties were taken while he was still married. Maybe that contributed to the fact that he's not married anymore. His ex-wife has opened up a salon in Knoxville named "Alimony". That isn't a joke. They offer a discount (I think 15%) to any lady who receives alimony. Sorry Bruce. I pick on Bruce because he is an easy target, but I actually like him. I hate UT, but I can understand why young men would want to play for him. He took a lot of heat when he went to the UT ladies game shirtless with his chest painted, but I loved it. I love his enthusiasm, and you can't deny that he is a great marketing man. He has made UT men's basketball relevant in a state where women's basketball and football once dominated. They still dominate, but Bruce has elevated his squad to heights once thought to be unreachable. I still hate the Vols. This game means more to me than any game on the schedule other than Louisville.
UT headbands suck.
For those who don't know the story, UT point guard Bobby Maze famously said after he committed to UT (over the Cats), "Why would I go anywhere else. UT is like a Ferrari, UK is a Chevy". I know I'm a little of on that quote, but it went something like that. I know UT was the Ferrari, just not sure what car UK was. Anyways, when Jodie was lighting up the Vols, Maze was still talking trash even though they were getting hammered. UK players have said that when the soft spoken Meeks went to the line and sank a free throw for his 50th point he looked over at Maze and said, "Thats Fitty". Apparently it still didn't shut the Vols up. Rumor has it they talked trash until the buzzer sounded.
OOOOOOOOOHHHH Bruce Newman!!!!!!
As far as I know, Bobby Maze is not on parole. This is funny anyway.
At Vandy the coach dances with guys. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that and I certainly don't want to offend any of the Revolting Blog's homosexual fan base. However, at UK the coach dances with only the finest WOMEN.
I hope the Cats are ready tonight. They should be pretty pumped up for this game, since Vandy whipped them 196-42 last year at Memorial Gym. Jeannine Edwards will be in the house for ESPN to once again try to win the heart of Billy Clyde. I can only hope that Jimmy Dykes is announcing the game. I know that Meeks cuts much more violently when Dykes is in the house. He is also less likely to defend himself. Dykes will also strike fear into any Vandy fans within earshot when he announces once again that Josh "Jorts" Harrelson is the only guy in the SEC to ever stick his arm down the throat of a catfish. This will only matter if Jorts is at the game. There's always the chance he is deer hunting. In other news, word out of Gainesville this morning was that Nick Calathes still had his game face on. Amazing. Bobby Knight is enroute to do impressions.
45 at Arkansas. Bud Walton Arena record. I'm gonna go on and say what we all want to say but then we think back to Mashburn, "Sky" Walker, Macy, Delk, etc. Jodie Meeks is the greatest UK player of my lifetime. He's not just a shooter who gets hot sometimes. He's not just a scorer. He's probably the best defender on the team as well. He works harder without the ball than any player I can EVER remember. He just gets it done in every facet of the game. Another great thing about Meeks is that you'll never hear him brag about anything. He just wants to win, and he's very humble. He doesn't hoot and holler after every dunk or three pointer. He's not covered in tats, and we all know people with tats suck. He scored 54 points at UT and broke the all-time UK record for points in a game. His first comment to the reporter was about how happy he was to get a win at Thompson-Boling Arena. He had never done that. Nevermind that nobody had ever scored 54 in a Kentucky uniform. Many people have speculated that this entire bizarre interview is an elaborate hoax. The entire story about Joaquin Phoenix quitting acting and becoming a rapper is possibly a hoax. Phoenix's brother-in-law Casey Affleck has been filming all of Joaquin's appearances, supposedly to make a documentary about the career change. Many speculate that he is actually filming a hilarious documentary about how the media will grab on to any story and run with it. You decide for yourself if this is real or not. It sure is an awesome acting job if that is indeed what it is. Dave was classic as well. Many great Letterman quotes to be found here. Please watch.
Is he a traitor? Who is he really working for? I am a big Don Cheadle fan and I was glad to see him finally be the star of a big movie. In this one he is a muslim who joins an extreme islamic terrorist group planning an attack on the USA. Cheadle is also undercover for the U.S. government. However, only his handler knows he exists. The FBI is hot on his trail. Has his muslim faith pushed him to the other side? Watch and find out. Pretty good, but I could definitely picture the females of the blog world hating it. You must be a person (like me) who really pays attention to movies or you will get lost easily in this one. I turned on the subtitles because I couldn't easily understand all the accents.
This is a movie about a former spy who's daughter is abducted while vacationing in Paris. He goes on a mission to find her. This is an excellent movie, especially if you're into the girls getting abducted by guys who sell the girls to the highest bidder except when their daddy is a former spy and comes and kills everybody kind of movies. This one is really good. You will have to catch it at the movies for now, or find a bootlegger. Or, you could just come by my house and I'll let you borrow mine.
Funny!!!!!! Bernie Mac's final movie. Bernie and Samuel are former famous r&b singers. They were in a group with another guy who ended up going on to even greater fame after ditching them and going solo. Well this guy dies and they are invited to sing at the funeral. They are making a cross country trip from L.A. to NYC and make some hilarious stops along the way. By the way, neither Bernie nor Samuel have sang for years, and they don't like each other. This is a very funny movie, but you have to look past about 6000 f-bombs. They love that "f" word in this movie. One guy during the movie even describes them as guys that "like to say f**k a lot".
We'll start off with something positive, a little game of "name that belly". This could be a tough one considering this belly was flat just a month or so ago. Or, this could be really easy since you all know that my wife is pregnant. Who can be the first to answer? The winner gets an autographed picture of Kendall's mother, Twanda Smith. Congratulations in advance to the lucky winner (blog writers and their immediate family members not eligible for prize).
Some limbs beside the house.

The other side of the back yard
Another back yard pic. We have (had) a huge tree that pretty much fell all over the property, and a little into the neighbors yard.
Another shot of many limbs on the deck. I have a pretty big deck. Bunch built it. When you talk about Bunch and you talk about a deck, you know you're talking about a pretty big deck.
Bubba hasn't made the blog in a while and he was mad. So, here he is. He has been happy that my mom can't get her power turned back on. He loves her because she lets him jump all over her. She has been staying at our house some, especially when Jordan and I are working all night. He doesn't have to get in his crate at night when she's there. I saw him slip a fitty to the KU man the other day and tell him to take his time getting my mom's apartment up and running. I also heard him say to the guy, "That crate's a bitch, dude."
The whole ice thing sucks. As you can tell, I'm frustrated. And bearded.
