*** Official Kentucky vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Missed the first half with my stupid Parkinson’s induced narcolepsy but damn did they come out on a mission and zoned in like I’ve never seen before to start the second half. And they didn’t let up. Pure effort, team, desire, you name it. They wanted it bad. Absolute clinic.
I always feel better when I read a post from you:)
 
Listen, he has friend who is a real engineer at Dodge and a Michigan alumn and they told him they haven'[t made the Dodge Stratus since 2011.

Meh….. I was in the car industry for 25 years… I gotta tell you some of you cats are not good at all on the insult train. Again back when I did post on the Iowa board when it was still there Hawkeye report of course I’m talking about and whatever the hell it became there for a while… I was pretty talented to run people up the flagpole.

But honestly, it’s really kind of useless isn’t it… It’s not really all that hard to get along with people. I will tell you though, I have found generally fan, especially rival fan bases. Do not like to acknowledge they’re just more of the same. Every fan base has the same chunks of fans, some friendly and not really all that upset about their rivals & some that can’t be happy unless their rival sucks and all things in between.

It is what it is
 
Iowa better watch out. There are schools that might start calling McCollum if they make a run.

Does that seem surprising… I mean in actuality it appears no Coach is sacred anywhere in this culture, so I’m not sure that’s all that illogical, right? I actually turned it away from the Iowa game. Are they still winning? Last I knew they were like 1 of 712 from three-point range. Hard to believe they could be winning shooting like that.
 
Good for you !!! That is a nice thing to wake up to. I’ll give you an anecdotal story about kidney issues. Not trying to steal your thunder here of course but I went to the hospital about six months ago thinking I potentially had a kidney stone and I was in excruciating pain. As a side story and an indication of my general Iowa farm boy bred stupidity. I’d been pissing blood for a couple weeks and decided not to go to the doctor.

Well, the good Lord said hey that’s not gonna work….. so I’m in the emergency room with more pain than I really honestly ever remember having. And they’re running tests and they’re still not on top of the pain, I’ve got my eyes closed, just trying to compartmentalize it. Because it’s so bad…

The doctor comes in and says hey Mr. McCleary you’ve got a 10 centimeter mass on your kidney.

And I don’t remember a lot about that visit because I was so jacked up with drugs for several days because of the pain. I don’t remember a whole lot of what I talked to anybody about, but I remember telling him that sounds awful but quite frankly, I can’t hardly function right now. I can’t comprehend anything because I'm in so much pain….

All that to say, I pray things go well for you
Ya, the pain was intense but believe it or not wasn't my worst stone as far as pain goes. This was 8 or 9 out of 10. I've had one that was a 20 out of 10. Glad things worked out for you. I understand exactly what you're saying compartmentalizing for the pain.

Assuming you are talking about the 3pt shooting to start the game? :D
 
Time to refocus for sure. The next game will likely be with a team somewhat well coached. I'm still amazed how absolutely lost Kentucky looked 90% of that game. I realize most of it was because of ISU but still. They really didn't even look good when they built that lead.
FWIW: I have a buddy, not close but we chat occasionally. He's Tennessee orange and is not a fan of their coach.
