Not sure what I liked better - beating UK or watching UL's miniature quarterback Will Stein basically grab the trophy out of Steve Beshear's hands after the game. Oh, right, that's easy. Beating UK. UL had some issues on defense especially getting lined up on defense and not realizing UK was going to throw bubble screens all day. UK's defense was garbage. Little pressure on the quarterback. Gaping holes in the line. Receivers wide open in the secondary.
Man, I wish this auctioned locker had been on Storage Wars. Just to see Dave and Darrell claim that it was worth a lot of money if they bought it or brag about "sticking it" to someone else if they didn't. But more than likely Barry would have bought it, never called the cops and keep all the body parts.
A little bummed out about a few things from the UL/UK game Sunday. One is that we ate at Beef O'Brady's instead of tailgating because it was raining. And Beef O'Brady's added pizza but removed the garlic, roast beef sandwich that I always used to get. Second, the rain stopped when I got to my seat. Which overall was nice, but I ended up sitting in a poncho for awhile waiting to see if it would come back. Ponchos and humidity don't mix well. Third, I was pretty sober.
Interesting story on how cell phones are filthy and covered in bacteria. Which makes sense. However there is one quote from a microbiologist that really stood out. "I see people talk on their phones on toilets." Where exactly does that happen? Should I be concerned that there is a microbiologist wandering about town checking what people do when they go take a shit?
UL's offense was unstoppable. Well, Charlie Strong stopped it by taking Teddy Bridgewater out in the third quarter. When a guy hits 19 of 21 passes, he's probably tired, but still............. The thought among UL fans is Strong is good friends with Joker Phillips and didn't want to make him look bad so he'll get fired. If UK doesn't do something on defense, it ain't gonna matter.
If you're into royal family news, it recently came out that Prince Harry (of England, Great Britain, all that other stuff) had a big party in Vegas with nudity and cocaine and a possible prostitute. I realize that the royal family is known for their chaste behavior, but the way I figure it, what's the point of being a prince if you can't drink, do blow and hire whores. Actually, I just can't understand this fascination with royalty. It's a bunch of over privileged brats who fell out of the right womb or married one who did. Big friggin deal. For some reason, crass behavior doesn't seem to deter affection for royalty. It seems to enhance it. Even in the US with our fake royalty - the Kennedy family. I guess it is an upgrade to drive a woman to suicide rather than leaving them stuck in a car under water.
As I mentioned, there is one line of thought that Strong called off the dogs to help his old buddy Joker keep his job. I'm not sure it will help. At most, I see three wins for UK at most. And considering how poorly UK fans felt about the squad before the season began, I can't see it getting any better after they shat on themselves in Louisville.
I'm surprised that I never thought about combining the Kennedy family with the Kardashians, but it really makes sense especially considering the Kardashian's obssession with the letter "K". Oh, and the fact that Kim is an utter whore.
The question is "does Joker deserve to keep his job?". As a UL fan, I think so. If I was a UK fan, I would want his ass gone. Seriously, what has he done to deserve to keep it? The arguments that I've heard is that he deserves more than three years to be successful and his first two years were better than his predecessors Rich Brooks and Guy Morriss who had success after a slow start. Which is complete crap. Morriss took over a team going on probation after Hal Mumme was fired. Brooks took over a team that was on probation after Morriss left. Joker took over for retiring Brooks who was at a high point (for Kentucky) with several bowl appearances in a row. And Joker was not a fresh face newcomer when he got the job. He was head coach in waiting for a couple of years so he was very instrumental in the recruiting even before he was the head man. And I think he's replaced all but two of the other assistant coaches from Brooks' last year. And assuming they only win three games, he will have regressed each year as head coach. Not sure why anyone would think he's going to improve much after that.
