Wedding Bells for the Doc! Chirop1 Gets Married!

StillCatwoman — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:30:14 -0000

All of the A Sea of Blue fans send wedding bell wishes to Chirop1 and Mrs. Chirop1 who were married yesterday in Asheville, NC. at the Biltmore House. (do we have the details right, Doc?)

We wanted to call the hotel and leave a congratulatory message and then realized that the desk clerk couldn't get a message to a guest named, "Chirop1," so we are doing it here, instead.

Best wishes to you and your Bride for a long and happy life together.

And go Big Blue. We all hope that by afternoon today you can swagger around the resort in your UK gear, rubbing it in to all those TarHeels.

Anyone Notice that Rider Beat Miss State?

I don't actually even know who Rider is or where they hail from, but I do know they are on our schedule here quickly and they beat #19 Miss St. 88-74 last night. They shot 51% from the field, 62% from the 3, making ten 3's and only turned the ball over 6 times in the game. Did anyone see this game?

They were ahead at the half and led the rest of the game. Miss. State's stats look decent to me; they shot 42% field and 37% for ten threes; 12 turnovers. Varnardo played almost the whole game, doing his thing with 7 blocked shots... So who is Rider and are they really that good? Or is this a reminder about the importance of shot selection on the 3?

Blue Happiness... See Me Doing the Happy Dance?

For all of us who struggle to watch our Cats long distance ... I am drowning in A Sea of Blue happiness. Two weeks ago I changed my television service. Dropped my local cable provider, had my house and pool house rewired... 2 installers started at 10 am and did not leave until 8 that night.

But I now have Dish in virtually every room and it looks like seamless Cat coverage. When I could watch the ULM football game Saturday, my hopes soared for basketball possibilities. And tonight I am watching the Blue & White game live. Not on my computer; not on my phone; not delayed; but a scrimmage game "LIVE" despite the fact that I am here in the heart of Gator country!

Considering that I used to drive to the highest hill (hills can be hard to find in Florida) and sit in my car to listen to Kentucky games on the radio, and that I once listened to an entire game over the phone by making my mother (in Kentucky) sit her phone next to her radio... words cannot describe how happy I am with this coverage.

Only you all would understand...

Calipari goes Camping... He's a Public Relations Genius

Calipari goes camping

"Kentucky Coach John Calipari and his son, Bradley, decided to go on a camping trip Friday night with hundreds, if not thousands, of their new-found friends...."

I so hope he can coach, too. John Calipari is a marketing and pr genius who apparently has that rare skill to read the market spot on. If he coaches as well as he markets then we as fans are in for the best years of our basketball lives.

Anyone Else Find this Annoying?

Saul Smith's warning to the University of Kentucky struck me the wrong way. Considering that he is neither sage with the wisdom of many years nor a player who made a legendary impact on the Wildcats, what puts him in the authority position to "counsel" the University of Kentucky men's basketball program? The Lexington Herald article cites

Saul's Facebook page--funny how often comments on Facebook come back to bite people--where Saul says:

"Bad bad day for my alma mater," Smith wrote on Thursday. "The UK athletic program will never regain its true champion nature with Businessmen running it. Never, no matter how many so called blue chip players you bring in. You can’t sacrifice your integrity for success. You just can’t do it. I’m an alum and I deserve a clean-ran program, plain and simple. Period, and if anyone disagrees, you, my friend, shouldn’t support the program I played 4."

This from someone who would have never seen the playing time he got, and perhaps never been an assistant coach at a Division I school so young in life, had it not been for ... well, let's say I don't think his skill and talent have always been the door opener for him...

2000 Wins--Somebody Check My Math

StillCatwoman — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:11:46 -0000

If I understand correctly, we now have win # 1,983 heading to the milestone of 2000 wins.

So figuring we have 7 games left, 6 games to win the NCAA championship, and either 3 or 4 games to win the SEC... we could conceivably hit 2000 in the final game this year. yes? no? Maybe I am miscounting. And I am thinking it means we have to go into the SEC tournament w/o the bye in order to have to play 4 games... but please someone correct my count, because I am just doing this off the top of my head.

And the likelihood of us getting those next 13 wins this year (it that's even the correct number) --okay-- I know, pretty slim. (Forty just taught me this week that Cats statistically lose 1 of every 4 games). Nevertheless, I am a true blue Wildcat and I always believe we stand on the verge of being undefeated in all future games ever.

I believe...

Anyone Else Wondering About Legion?

Anyone Else Wondering About Legion?

I was curious about how Alex Legion is doing. He now has 2 games behind him as an Illini for a total of 24 minutes, 6 points, 4 turnovers, a steal, 2 defensive rebounds, and 3 personal fouls ... if my quick math is correct.
Prior to his debut, Weber said, "Scoring-wise, offensively, he's probably our best player. As far as some of the other parts of the game, he's probably not in the top of those, whether it's defense or passing. But he can definitely make a difference. Now we've got to slowly get him involved, and he's got to prove it."
