Jacob's Hat

Just wanted to share another picture of Jacob in his hat.  :)

Love that little boy! 

Jacob's Birthday Party Recap

Yesterday was Jacob's party, and we had a good time with family and friends.  Jacob got sooo many new toys, he didn't know which to play with first. 

Here is the table.  Note to self:  walls are very bare, need decor!

Each kiddo had a conductors hat since the theme was trains.  Kate was the only girl, hers was pink.  She didn't mind wearing it, but for some reason not in the picture. 

Jacob opening his many gifts.

Don't get me started on these cupcakes.  I ordered them from Rick's bakery who is known for being delish and their decorating.  These look like a 5yr old did them.  I was sooooo disappointed.  Look at how much icing is on them, they are leaning!!  Jacob didn't seem to mind.  He is blowing out the candle through his front teeth.  So funny.

When no one was looking, Lukie went back for another cupcake.  So funny!

Meme, Kris, Jacob, Papaw, me (at 6mos)

Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us.  Good times!

Ask Cooper Owen Ray

I was recently asked if I wanted to do a little writing on this blog a week or so back at the SEC tourney. Even though I'm an extremely busy person with my newly formed talent agency, booming modeling career,and many many hobbies, I felt I was called by a higher power to write. Actually it was Ho, and he said that he would publish the Nashville Polaroid pics if I didn't, so here I am.





I wanted to start my blogging experience with my most high profile client. He's actually my only client, but that's neither here nor there. My son Cooper is one of the biggest Blue Bloods I know. He has followed the Wildcats religiously his entire life, granted he's only two, but hey, It'll have to work for this blog..



Cooper gained local fame recently because of an incident that happened while We were away at the SEC Tourney. Destiny texted me,(while I was consuming beverages, and watching a big woman in front of me do the running man while the pianos played at Big Bang), saying that she had walked into Coopers toy room, and noticed cooper had his winky and Ray Rays in his hand. She went on to ask Cooper,”Coop,Did you hurt your Winky and Ray Ray's or do they itch"? To which Cooper replied, "No Mommy I just like it"!!



Cooper recently took time out of his busy schedule, (In between episodes of The Smurfs and Handy Manny),to have a sit down with me for a Q & A about Kentucky Basketball.



Note: The following Is real and uncut



Cooper Q & A



1)TRB- What would be your ideal pregame meal?

-Cooper- Apple Dippers and Chocolate milk.



2)TRB- Who is your favorite player/players for the Cats?

-Cooper- Spiderman

-TRB- ?????



3)TRB- What position would you play if you were a Wildcat?

-Cooper- Basketball

-TRB- ?????



4)TRB- Who’s Jersey should be put in the rafters next for the Cats?

-Cooper- Papaw and Nana’s



5)TRB-Where do the players get their shoes and uniforms?

-Cooper- They go Krogering



6)TRB- UK Vs WV? Who you got?

-Cooper- UK



7)TRB- How much do the Cats win by?

-Cooper- 7 or 5



8)TRB- Duke vs. Purdue?

-Cooper- Duke sucks!!



9)TRB- How much does Purdue Win by?

-Cooper- I gotta go potty Daddy.....



So there you have it, you don't get more honest than that. Peace

Recap

(taken with my phone)  I'm sure you've seen this position before.  It's his trademark.  :)

This is how we found Jacob as we were driving to Fayetteville to see StoryTime Live.  This immediately tells me he didn't have a nap at school. 

He had a little fit beforehand and didn't want to sit still, but once the show started he sat still in Kris' lap.  He clapped, danced and had a big smile for the most part.  Other times he was so serious, I guess he was concentrating.  

Dora was on last, and that is the one I was anxious to see his reaction to the most.  Since he is so used to seeing her animated, I think he was a little confused as to who that was on stage.  It just wasn't the same... but he recognized the songs, so I know he enjoyed some parts of it.   

I on the other hand had a headache before the show even started, so you can imagine I was ready for those Wonder Pets to save that pet and Dora to do her exploring in a jiffy.  One can wish...  :)

***Happy 3rd Birthday Jacob!!***

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY JACOB!!

Three years ago today, my life forever changed in a wonderful way.  I (we) were scared to death to become parents, we had no clue what we were doing.  We actually stayed an extra night in the hospital just to have the help.  :)
 As all parents can relate, the time has truly flown!!  The past 3yrs have been incredible and we have enjoyed every minute.  Jacob has blessed and enriched our lives so much!  We could not ask for a better son!  He is such a sweet, sweet boy with a sweet soul.  Momma & Daddy love you to the moon Jacob!! 

When I look back over these last 3yrs, I have tears of joy.  He is definitely growing up before my eyes.  Pretty soon he will not be my baby anymore, but he's still momma's boy.  :)

3.25.07 - Hours old.  When I first looked into these eyes, My. Heart. Burst!  He was perfect.  He was beautiful.  He was ours.

3.25.08 - 1yr old.  I want these chubby cheeks back!  The first year went by way too quickly.

3.25.09 - 2yrs old.  Look at that sweet smile!  Melts. My. Heart.  

3.25.2010 - 3yrs. old.  Definitely a little man before my eyes.

Jacob, I LOVE being your mommy.  It's the best job in the world!  I couldn't ask for more.

Saturday is the birthday party that you have been patiently waiting for.  You keep asking if you get to blow out candles, and you've been singing Happy Birthday to both me and Daddy.  Then you ask us to sing it to you.  :)

You are loved more than you'll ever know.

p.s.  I realize we made another "birthday shirt" this year like we did last year.  We just want everyone to celebrate along with us.  Today is your day!

Tweeting With Deh

Have you ever wondered why you enjoy the smell of your own farts, but other people's make you sick? Have you ever wondered what Bunch does when he's in front of the mirror and nobody else is around? Well you don't have to wonder anymore. You can find out the answers to these questions and I'm sure much, much more by following the one and only Deh Beh on Twitter. I encouraged the Revolting Blog staff to start tweeting and the Deh Beh has responded. You can sign up for the mobile option and get mine and Deh's tweets sent directly to your phone as text messages. This is how I've done it with KSR and Coach Cal's tweets for about a year now. I had only been on the actual twitter site once (to register) until this week, but I've been a member for over a year. It was good to wake up yesterday and grab my phone and find out what Bunch does in his spare "alone" time in front of the mirror. Quality stuff.

I would also like to take this opportunity to steal a little of Ho's thunder and supply you with Thursday's QOD. That's the quote of the day for you newcomers. Yesterday, when asked for the approximately 1000th time about Cornell's academic prestige, our boy Boogie came up with this classic: "We're here to play basketball. This isn't a spelling bee."

My due date with Jacob - ready to pop!  We waited and waited and waited, but nothing happened until 2am March 25th.  And that is when our world as we knew it began to change.  Best day of my life!

ENES

Enes Kanter commits to the cats today. He is a 6'10'' Turkish star who is a dominate force inside. Not sure if anyone can replace Boogie but he is a good start. There are some hurtles he has to clear before he can become eligible.

Also today Florida has withdrawn there scholarship offer for Brandon Knight. This has to be good news for the cats. Could he be next? Lets hope so, he was named Gatorade player of the year today. Chips starting to fall into place.

Twitter

Want some UK updates, bad jokes, and just plain old immaturity? Follow me as I invade the world of Twitter. I have actually been on Twitter for a long time so that I could follow Coach Cal and Matt Jones but I have just decided tonight to start actually tweeting. I encourage the other bloggers to do the same because as we all know, you ain't nobody till you tweet. Tweet Tweet!!

Victory Dance

Here is the dance I did this past weekend while watching my beloved UK Wildcats destroy East Tenn State and WEAK Forest. I hope I can do this same dance again after this weekend.

Harry and Twanda Smith Want Everyone To Know, Revolting Fantasy Baseball Is Near!!!!!!

This year's fantasy baseball league has been renewed and invitations sent to last year's team managers, with the exception of Grant Sharp. Since Grant quit midway through last season I didn't renew his invite. Miller didn't seem to be much into it either, but I sent him an invitation to join the league again this year anyway. He's full of fantasies and deserves another chance to fulfill his baseball fantasy. What this means is that as of now there is one spot left. Not a dog spot, not a liver spot, but Grant's spot. That's a special spot. That's also a joke that only Tom and Brian will understand. You new Revolting readers need to be told, and I've mentioned this many times in the past to others, sometimes the jokes I (and others) make on here will not be understood by 90% of the readers. We make them anyway because of the joy it will bring that one person who gets it. So don't be surprised when you read something and say to yourself, "WTF?".

1 spot
not a dog spot
not a liver spot
Grant's spot!!!!!!

Leave your email in the comments and I'll send the invitation to join the league.

First come, first serve.

There could still be other spots if some of last year's league members don't wanna do it this year.

There have been cases in the past where people didn't want to post their email address in the comments section. If that is the boat you're in I just want to let you know that you suck and don't deserve to be in our league. I promise you're not so popular that all of you're fans will be patrolling the world famous Revolting Blog just hoping for a chance to get your email address.

Somebody join the league. It's gonna be fun. There are only 2 rules: No crying, and as commissioner I get Pujols**.

The people who voted in the poll for Kansas to knock the Cats out of the tournament, change your vote ASAP. You can change it.


**That's not really a rule but I'm willing to go with it if that's what everybody wants.

Jacob's soon-to-be New Role

I saw this shirt at Kohls and just had to get it.  I can't wait for the day it's official.  :)

We keep asking him if he wants a baby brother or sister.  And his answer is always the opposite of what you ask.  I told him he's going to be a big brother, and he said he wanted to be a big sister.  :)

Since my belly is every-so-growing, I've been telling him there's a baby in there, but he just looks at me like I've got two heads.  I've got a feeling this isn't going to sink in until we have the new baby in our arms or possibly until we're all home. 

Oh that'll be an interesting day.  :)

Couldn't help myself had to post this.

A Good Omen for UK and other notes

Kentucky is now 5-0 all time against Wake Forest following Saturday night's 90-60 thumping. What may be good news for Cats fans is the fact that the prior two victories over Wake came during Kentucky Final Four runs in the 90's. Gimel Martinez and the 1993 Cats ran over Rodney Rogers and the Demon Deacons in the Sweet 16. Then in 1996, Mark Pope led the charge over Tim Duncan's Wake squad in the Elite 8.

On another note...did anyone actually watch the Louisville/California game on Friday night? Clark Kellogg was the analyst and he comes up with some great sayings but I'm not sure he'll come up with one to top this one. He was talking about the possibility of the Cardinals coming back over the course of the game when he stated "The runs take a lot out of you." So true Clark, so true.

And to close...I visited the Grand Canyon last year. It was quite the site to see. Absolutely massive. The most massive thing I have ever seen. At least until Littlepage's picture was posted on here. That beard is ginormous.

Tournament Thoughts After The First 3 Days

-First I'll mention the obvious: The Cats are lookin pretty good so far. I've said for a few months that if they play to their potential then nobody can beat them, not even Northern Iowa. As Jimmy Dykes told us countless times during the SEC tournament, there are only 5 teams younger than UK. There are ZERO teams more talented. When they shoot good, they win. It's really simple. They don't even have to shoot lights out. Just hit enough to keep the other teams defense on edge. I am starting to believe in this team's chances. I picked Kansas in my bracket so I've gotta jump on somebody's bandwagon now, right?

-Speaking of Kansas, how about that game? That was one of the best games I've watched in a long time. They kept comparing it to the UK/UAB game from 2004, but I think yesterday's upset was much bigger. Even though that UK team was the top seed, they still had no big man and nobody outside of Kentucky picked them to win it all. People all over the country were picking this Kansas team to win it all, including the Kentucky fan writing the words you're reading right now. Kansas fans have to be in a state of depression today.

-The Northern Iowa guys deserve their own paragraph. I have became a fan. It's bandwagon, I know, but everybody finds a cinderella team to root for every year. Matt Jones said weeks ago on KSR that we would love this team. For once, Jones was right.** Ali Farokhmanesh is one of the most clutch shooters to come along in a while. Plus his name is Ali Farokhmanesh!! How can you not love this O'Rear fellow down low. Mini white guy fro and mutton chops. This guy is everything Bunch wanted to be back when he dreamed of playing mid major college basketball. Well, O'Rear can't shoot it like the Deh Beh, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. Not many can. Also gotta love that center of Northern Iowa. I can't even remember his name and I'm not gonna look it up. I kept calling him Eitutis during the game. For those of you who know the former WKU/KWC/Sudden Impact/Hype big man, I think you can see the resemblance. I have found my second favorite team in this year's tournament, and I bet you can guess who it is.

-Hey Zahveeyay, how's that Kansas commitment working out for ya? Man I sure wish that guy had signed with UK. I bet he does too.

-Has Rick coached his last game for the Cards? St. John's rumors are everywhere. I have thought for a long time that Rick would end his career as coach of the filthy Cards. That was before he started banging nasty ho's in swanky Italian restaurants, or at least before he started getting caught.

-St. Mary's deserves their own paragraph as well. They are going to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. I don't know a lot about them, except that they have a good big man who has been dominant. I remember when they had that point guard Patty Mills. I think he went pro last year. Is that right? Now I can't remember if Patty Mills was a point guard or a good restaurant down at the lake. Oh well, it's early.

-The Sweaty Pearl's of Tennessee have moved on to the Sweet 16. Good for them, and good for the SEC. We all know they aren't capable of going any further, but they've at least kept the conference from looking like a total disaster, which is the only reason I would ever pull for the thugs from "Headband U".

-The lowly Pac 10 is 3-0 so far in the tournament. One of those victories came against our favorite Cardinals. I know Rick hates to lose, but losing to a team named Cal has gotta hurt even more. The slick one has fallen far this year.

-I have failed miserably in my attempt at back to back Revolting Bracket Challenge victories. I have lost 2 of my Final Four picks (Nova and Kansas) already. I truly suck. I'm looking forward to watching the games today. I noticed that everybody in this year's bracket challenge picked either the Cats or Jayhawks to win it all. I guess if the Cats lose I've still got a chance since nobody will have the champion correct. I don't know though without studying it. I'd just rather the Cats go ahead and win the whole thing and somebody else can have the Revolting Bracket title this year.

**I have been informed that Matt Jones is almost always right. Sorry for the confusion.

StoryTime!

I've think I've mentioned before that Jacob has quite the obsession for Dora the Explorer.  We found out a while back that StoryTime Live was coming to the Walton Arts Center. 

Kris and I are taking one for the team and have tickets for the Wednesday night show, along with the Pittmans.  It should definitely be interesting.  I'm curious to see what Jacob does.  Hopefully he's not too overwhelmed with all the characters, plus all the kiddos in the audience. 

I'll let you know how it goes.  Wish us luck.  :)

Spring = Snow

This is crazy.  Almost 70 degrees yesterday, today it's snowing.  Sheesh!

My Little Eggplant

This pregnancy is flying by!  In 14wks we will meet our precious baby!  That may seem a while away, but to me it will be here before I know it.  The nesting / OCD in me is beginning to surface.  I have so many things I want to get done before then, and when I say "I", I mean Kris.  :)  His HoneyDo list is about to get even longer. 

One thing that's at the top of the list is get our names confirmed.  We've got a couple of girl and boy names, but I don't think either of us are 100% on any of them.  I'm over analyzing them, because I don't want the name to be shortened (i.e.  Kimberley = Kim.  My mother would agree).  And not everything goes with the last name Key.  Can't ever use Don.  :)

Breaking News!!!!

After the events that transpired this weekend in Nashvegas The Revolting Blog is in an intense negotiation with a new writer. Deh and myself did some recruiting in Music City and we think we have a lock on our next great talent! We met many worthy teammates like Joe B. Hall, Rex Chapman, Kenny Walker, Matt Jones, Tucker Max and the list goes on and on. It was a very tough decision! We had to weed through hours of tape and conducted interviews until the wee hours each morning. I hope we get the details ironed out by the start of the NCAA tournament. Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes glued to The Revolting Blog!

QOD...

"I'm a little famous." M. Jones 2010

What If Every UK Player Got Hurt?

random pic, nothing to do with the post, but it's funny!!

Last night I had some crazy thought that ran through my head so I decided to make it into a blog post. What if every UK player got sick or injured and couldn't play in the upcoming NCAA tournament? That would be awful, right? Of course it would. You know what would be even worse? What if the NCAA allowed the university to use Revolting Blog writers as their replacements? By now you're thinking I'm an idiot. You are correct, but I'm gonna go ahead with the piece anyway. I'm gonna tell you who would replace who, and I'm gonna tell you why each writer would be a worthy replacement.

JV (me) - I would be a hybrid combo version of Bledsoe and Dodson. I've been known to make senseless drives into traffic and make silly turnovers (Bledsoe). I'm also pretty good at taking random jumpers that will leave you scratching your head. Those are the bad points. Like Bledsoe and Dodson I will also occasionally knock down several of those jumpers. Sometimes I even come up with a big rebound or defensive play. It's not a normal part of my game, but I once dove into my brother-in-law's knee trying to win a hotly contested game at Bremen. I've got a scar to prove it.


Deh Beh (Bunch) - Jorts. This one is easy. He will get you some rebounds. He will hit you some 3's. He looks good in jean shorts. There's really not much else to say. Bunch is like the Central City version of Josh Harrelson.

The Amish Electrician (Jon Littlepage) - Since we don't really have a John Wall I've gotta give it to the closest thing on the Revolting staff, and that's Littlepage. At least the 1993 version of Littlepage would be the closest thing we have to Wall. Maybe he can't even dribble a ball anymore. I haven't laid eyes on Littlepage in years, at least not in person, so I really don't know. If we were taking the place of Erruption Zone fans then Jon would be that guy behind the goal with the beard. Anyway, his name is Jon, so he's our Wall.

Bob Gas (Bullock) - This is our Patrick Patterson, aka "Black Kool-Aid". He can post up for buckets. He can step out and hit the 3. He will keep us in order when things start going bad. Patterson also seems to really like college, much like Brian. I think he's taken a class in every school year since he graduated in 1995.

Tom Vinson - Boogie. Tom is the logical choice to be our Demarcus Cousins. He's my cousin, but that's not really relevant. Tom is much like Boogie. He has the ability to dominate the paint, but would love to handle the ball and shoot 3's. The main difference in Tom and Boogie is that when we play Tom doesn't have a coach that makes him stay in the paint. Therefore he gets to do all of the things that Boogie wishes he could do. If we actually replaced the Cats for the tournament then Tom could also be Orton because I'm quite sure he and Coach Cal would get in a heated argument and Tom would be banished to the locker room. The only question is how long would it take Coach Padgett to calm him down and get him to the sideline for that apologetic fist bump?

Ho (the one with the package) - Ho is a hard one to compare to a current Cat but I'm gonna go with the "prairie dog" Perry Stevenson. Perry hasn't shown it much this year but he hit some nice mid-range jumpers last year and was even a 3 point threat, much like the Villain Ho. They both can also get some key rebounds. Ho can even block some shots like Stevenson, although not with the same consistency. Both of these guys also will get into somebody's face when the situation warrants it, even though they are both easy going guys. They're also both skinny.

Sizzler (Shane Hardison) - I'm gonna say the Sizzling one is Deandre Liggins. He'll do all the little things that don't show up in the stat sheet. Technically all of us do that because we don't have a stat sheet. He'll play some D. He'll get some rebounds. He'll dish the rock. He'll hit a jumper if you don't respect him. One time at the Gish Park 6' and under tournament, aka the "Dwight Gamble Invitational", the Sizzler even refused to enter a game. Ok, I made that up. While the DGI is on my mind I'd like to mention that Tom "Boogie" Vinson once played in that tournament. I also once managed to get the refs to call a technical on an opposing coach for being out of the coaches box, which didn't even exist at Gish Park. That coach was not happy. That's what they get for letting 6'3" white guys play in that tournament.

Chris Faith - Mark Krebs. You rarely hear much from Faith, but everybody likes him. That's pretty much Mark Krebs, right?

So there you have it. Your 2010 Revolting Wildcats. If this ridiculous scenario actually did come true, I would put all of my money on East Tennessee State. We would not cover the spread, which would be astronomical.

Good Stuff Here!!!!!! Did Cal Break NCAA Rules?

Kentucky Violated NCAA Rules While Recruiting Basketball-Playing Dog

Nashville wrap up

Huff's and the Bunch's at championship game

Wall getting M.V.P.

Chism's Daddy

Ho Elvis and Me

When Jenny and I got home from Nashville last night the first thing we did was get a jar out and put SEC tourney fund on it. We had a blast. And if you love Kentucky basketball its a must to go. I will do everything in my power to never miss anther tournament. The atmosphere was unreal. I have been to Rupp many times and it is awesome, but the crowd in Nashville was the loudest I have ever been around. The Tennessee game was the loudest for the entire game, but when Boogie hit the shot to send it to overtime against Miss. state the arena was rocking. The coolest thing about the Tennessee game was every time the band tried to do Rocky Top the UK fans would drown them out with GO BIG BLUE! Every where we went it was full of Kentucky fans. Its just hard to explain what it was like, hard to put into words.
We saw several UK alum Kenny Sky, Rex Chapman, Jeff Sheppard, Joe B. Hall, Ashley Judd, Mark Pope, and hung out with Matt Jones. We first saw Matt Jones doing a pod cast at hooters. I screamed "where is WOO "and he looked up and smiled later he took a picture with me and Ho. Then Saturday night we were at "Big Bang" which is a club where some guy's can play any song and I mean any song you request on the piano. There where two girls we sent a dirty message that I can't repeat from Nick"Omar"Ray. They said "do you know who we are" and we said "no", they went on to tell us that they were with Matt Jones and KSR. Then he showed up and talked with us and hung out some. Pretty cool guy. The highlight of the night was when he put his arm around me and we sang Living on a Prayer. We had blast at that place. Friday night we went to Hooters and hung out with Clint Ray and his brother Omar. We had that whole place rockin to Blue/White and then Orange/Sucks. Sorry I'm jumping around but the whole 4 days is a blur. I still can't talk. After we left Hooters we went to Coyote Ugly. I have some pics. Some I can post some I can't. But one high light was getting a Tennessee fan to do the John Wall dance, we called him Chism's daddy and he loved it.

I would like to thank Ho and Julie for putting up with Jenny and me for the weekend. We had a blast and can't wait till next year. Hope more can go next year! It will be a blast.

KSR Picture

Just got this pic sent to me from Brandy who works for Matt Jones at KSR. Thought it was pretty cool that she emailed us one. She got our e-mails and she said she would but I figured she was just telling us some bs . I couldn't blow it up but will try to later. Plus I will have a run down and some pics later tonight.

Comeback Cats

I think I've watched this video 20x today and each time I still jump out of my seat when The Boogie Man hits the shot. Enjoy!

Special Edition of "Did You Know?" Brought To You by Charlotte Visitors Bureau

Before I start my first post I would like to thank the fine people of The Revolting Blog for allowing me to become part of their blogging family.  It's truly an honor to join this elite group of bloggers.  I also have to apologize for being the worst blogger of all-time due to my lack of blogging.  I promise I will improve -- please don't kick me out.  This is my first post that I first started working on about a month or so. I felt obliged to finish it before I made another post.  Her ya go...

Now, I'm excited to bring to you a special edition of "Did You Know?" brought to you by the Charlotte Visitors Bureau.  I now live in Charlotte, NC and I would like to give you some facts about the great City of Charlotte and the State of North Carolina.

• Charlotte is known as the Queen City.   Charlotte is named in honor of the German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had become queen consort of British King George III the year before the city's founding.
   
• Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina.  Charlotte's is the 18th largest city in the United States
  
  
• We are proud to be the home of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Charlotte Bobcats, Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Knights.  We also claim Lowe's Motor Speedway as ours but it's technically in Concord, NC.  Charlotte's favorite son is none other than the 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, Ric Flair.  Wwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooo!!!
  
  
  

•  I despise a majority of the UNC and Duke fans here in NC.  

Thanks again.  I will be posting later about UK's chances of cutting down the nets.

Cats Win SEC Tournament!!!!!!

Dontcha Just Love It?

Welcome to my new blog, I am lovin' the makeover!  I know I don't have a ton of readers, but I was so tired of looking at that plain background, so I saw that someone from another blog had recommended Melissa from Bluebird Design Studios.  I thought what the heck, a little treat for myself. 

It was so easy, and she was so friendly and great to work with.  She deserves a big THANK YOU and SHOUT OUT!  Thank you Melissa!!  I love it! 

If you're interested in sprucing up your blog, head on over to her blog and get started.  

Big Game Today: Cats and Vols part 3

Big game today for the Cats. If they come out like they did against Bama they will get whipped. Of course if the Vols come out like they did the other day against LSU then the Vols are gonna get whipped. I gotta feeling that both teams will be ready and this will be a battle. Coach Hall told Bunch that the team was gonna win it for him, much like Mark Pope did for Bunch back in 1996. Go Cats!!!!!!

A Few Shots From Nashvegas

Just in case anybody was wondering if the Deh Beh would put on a poncho and do the John Wall dance. He did!!!!!!

They guys went to Hooters to enjoy the KSR podcast. Bunch got Matt Jones' attention by wildly screaming "Woo"!!!!!!!!!

At the request of the fine folks at Chick-fil-A, Bunch agreed to eat mor chikin.

Great Patient!

Jacob had a cleaning this week at the dentist.  I just knew it was going to be a nightmare, but he did really good.  He loved getting the water sprayed into his mouth and then using the suction.  He was a wonderful patient.  And I'm happy to report his two front teeth that he fell and hit back in December have healed.  Thank you Lord!

Day 1

Day 1 from the SEC tournament offered many photo opportunities and a really good basketball game to kick off the tournament action. South Carolina got up big on Alabama early in the second half only to see an 18 point lead slip away. Eventually South Carolina's Devan Downey missed a free throw late in the game to allow Bama to seal the deal and finish off the Cocks.

The first photo opp came early on in our trip when we stopped in Russellville at Harby's for breakfast. I was in the bathroom and man walked in and said "You a Kentucky fan?" and of course I said yes and told him we were on our way to the SEC tournament. The young gentleman of African American persuasion was cleaning the toilet at this time and proceeded to tell me that the head coach was his cousin. As you might imagine I was little alarmed to find out this fact and I'm sure I had a stunned look on my face. Then he finally he said football which I immediately put the equation together and knew he was talking about Joker. That was photo opp #1.

Our second photo opp came outside the Sommet center when Bunch recognized Richie Farmer standing close to us. I told him I would take his picture with Rich but he refused to approach our Secretary of Agriculture.

The third photo opp came during an intermission when we walked out to use the restroom and were watchin the 104.5 guys do their broadcast live from the Sommmet Center. The famous Matt Jones strolled by and we didn't take advantage of the opportunity only to find out later that JV requested we get a picture of Jones.

Fourth photo opp came immediately after Jones passed by when we noticed that Blaine Bishop was doing the broadcast with the 104.5 The Zone crew. We weren't really in a position to have a photo with Bishop but could have gotten a picture very close. He seemed like a butthead so we weren't really concerned.

That brings us to the photo we actually chose for our daily post. Deh noticed this sign as we walked in to Fan Fare so we realized there was an opportunity to make this a great photo. While we were having the girls snap the picture people were walking by laughing and when we finished some old fellow asked us if we "Did y'all do that on purpose?" to which we replied you can see the picture on The Revolting Blog.

Overall it was a boring day since the Cats didn't play but we still had fun! We are ready for Day 2 and some Big Blue hardwood action.

GO CATS!

Nashville

Well its about 11pm Wednesday night and I can't sleep to pumped about tomorrow. Oh did I forget to mention we are headed to Nashville to the SEC tourney. The Huff's and Jenny and I are heading down at 8 a.m. in the mourning to bring some live coverage for the blog. We plan to see all the games and get some classic pics.

I had a great omen when I got home from work tonight. Jenny yelled for me to come to the bathroom to look a something. I know what your thinking a turd shaped like a K. But it wasn't she had BLUE pee I said holy @$#% how did you do that I want to be able to do that. She said no dumb ass its caused by the medicine I'm on so of course I asked for some. But that's got to be a good sign for the cats.
GO BIG BLUE!!! C-A-T-S CATS,CATS,CATS!!!!!!!

March Madness is finally here

First off, I'd like to apologize for my absence from The Revolting Blog. In addition to a major contract overhaul from the blogs creator, I've been covered up in baseball. I agreed to be baseball director for our recreation park this year and it is a full time job. I also have 2 baseball teams and Abby is playing softball so I've been covered up.

What do ya'll think about the Wildcats? The loss to Tennessee was a heartbreaker. I didn't get to watch that game and I guess I'm glad. I despise those filthy Volunteers. All I've ever seen them volunteer for is armed robbery. Somebody tell me where the breakdown was in that game. It wasn't even as close as it should've been. I know Tennessee can play in spurts but they beat us 9 points I think. Where were our boys?

Anyway, I think there's a great chance for a SEC title for Kentucky. The Cats have a much tougher road to hoe to make it to the Championship game in the upper bracket. I predict they'll have to play South Carolina and Tennessee to get to the final game. For those of us living under a rock, those are the only 2 teams that have beat us. You may think that doesn't mean much since we killed South Carolina in our second game against them, but it does. First of all, they know Kentucky can be beat. Second, Kentucky killed them in their 2nd game so they may take them too lightly. Third, the Cats are young. They are very talented and a great basketball team but this is the first time their actually playing for something other than a win. This is for the First SEC title in along time and the pressure is on them. Don't get me wrong, I think they have what it takes to win the title, but it definitely will not be easy. Hopefully they'll get some revenge if they have to play Tennessee in the semi-finals. Did I mention I hate Tennessee?

Good luck to the Cats in the SEC tournament and we all look forward to Jon Littlepage's next blog entry.
