Man of the Year Candidate #1 – Rick Pitino

With our 2012 “Man of the Year” named, it’s time to start nominating our 2013 Man of the Year Candidates. Our first nominee banged a slut, paid her to keep her mouth shut and then helped send her to jail. He is future Hall of Fame coach, Rick Pitino.

Highlights of my Year 2012

 

UK Wins 2012 National Title – This was their third National Title in my lifetime. This one meant more because I got to see UK win two games in the NCAA Tournament with my father.  Instead of going out with my friends the night they beat Kansas, I watched it with my father. That was priceless.

We beat the Rapture and the Mayans – Jesus wasn’t ready to call me to Heaven and the Mayans are losers. God bless and I will see you all in 2013!

Simple, but fun vacation – I stayed home for vacation. Twice I got to bar hop with my friends Shannon, Keith and Kathy. I don’t recall much but I’m pretty sure I had fun. That’s why I’m writing about it.

Halloween Party – My friends and I went as the characters from Gilligan’s’ Island. We came in second in this very “fair” contest.

I tried – I gave me ex Liz a chance, twice. I really wanted to see her change. Sad that such a beautiful girl is wasting her life. At least I tried doing the right thing. I feel better knowing I did.

Hot girl – I got to make love to a hot girl. I won’t name her out of respect for her family. Damn she looks good.

New Hangout Place – What’s better than the Highlands Taproom? Simple, the Highlands Taproom Grill.

Nice blog #29 – sportsmanship

In 2009, UK and U of L fans witnessed a game between two teams filled with assholes. Cousins elbowed a U of L player and Sosa trashed talked UK players during the National Anthem. 2010, the two coaches trashed each other to the media. In 2011, we saw Pitino tell the media after losing to UK that he would root for them since they were a fellow Kentucky team. This year we saw little mouthing during the game and nice comments from both coaches. It’s just a game. No need for the trash. Tonight is what sports was all about – sportsmanship.

UK vs. U of L 12/29/12

Here is my predication for the game -

 

I am a UK fan. I feel U of L is due a win. They have lost the past three straight years and last four games against UK. U of L is playing at home this year. So far this season U of L looks like the better team. U of L has more experience and the talent level at UK is not the same as it has been the past three seasons. The drama with Pitino seems to be gone and everything seems to be in U of L’s favor.

With that said, I will not root against UK or predicate U of L wins. I believe the game will be close. UK somehow wins, 68-67. Go Big Blue!

 

More of my birthday presents

Photo: Kinda a gag gift, Strange Brew is not what I named my website after. I named it after a Cream's greatest hits album. BTW john Martin, take the price tag off, lol.
Before I ran Louisville Strange Brew, some friends and me ran a local TV show known as “Strange Brew” some 14 years ago. Our show nor this site is named after this movie. This is a gag gift. Our show’s name was my idea. I named it after a Cream greatest hits album called “Strange Brew”. BTW, this is a very underrated cult movie from the 1980′s.
Photo: Thanks Shannon, Keith and John. Two more bottles of whiskey for me to drink. Am I proud of my Irish heritage or what?
Shannon and Keith got me a bottle of Bushmills’ 10 year. John got me a bottle of Jameson. Three bottles of Irish whiskey for Christmas. And yes, I am currently drinking the 10 year as we speak.
Photo: This may be my favorite present of all. My niece Michaela and nephew Matthew custom made this blanket for me.
My niece Michaela and my nephew Matthew custom-made this for me. This is probably my favorite gift of all.

They cheat……………………..

Lance Thomas of Duke somehow came across $100,000. The NCAA hardly seems  interested in the case. It seems they are too busy making sure players from Turkey that UK recruit can’t play.

UNC players don’t even have to attend class. Hell, UNC fakes their grades. What is their punishment? They investigate themselves and nothing happens! They are too busy harassing UK recruits that are still in high school.

Syracuse players can abuse drugs. The NCAA does nothing. They are too busy looking over “fake polls” about UK cheating.

UCONN can cheat. They get a “slap on the wrist” for doing so. The NCAA is more worried about a UK recruit and his airline flight.

Apparently the rules for the Kentucky Wildcats and other programs are different. UK has to follow the rules while other colleges do not. CBS, ESPN and other mainstream news turn a blind eye when other schools cheat. Sad part is UK still competes with these cheating programs. Just think if UK did cheat. Hell, Coach Cal would be going for a three-peat!
