Joke De Jour - Fore!

2009-10-05T07:00:00.003-04:00

A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf.....Of course, the wife promptly whacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us."

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, "Come on in".

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the broken window.

A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people who broke my window?"

"Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied.

"Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.... You see, I'm a genie , and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself."

"Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life."

"No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!" "And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genie asked.

"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country in the world," she said.

"Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!"

"And now," the couple asked in unison, what's your wish, genie?"

"Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife."

The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?"

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?"

"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband. I'd do the same for you!"

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other in every way. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?"

"Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly.

"NO SH*T", he said,

"Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?"

Coach Calipari Update

2009-09-18T23:07:00.001-04:00

When I come back to campus in the late afternoon, there will be some recruits in town for the big weekend in Lexington and the big game on Saturday. I'm really excited that I'll be able to have my entire team on the floor today for one hour of practice and then again for another hour tomorrow, after the football game.

Everything we do in these two sessions will relate to the Dribble Drive Motion Offense - from the drills we will be doing all year long to instilling the aggressive mentality needed to play the DDM. There won't be any real defense focused on at this point, as it's more important early on to get the players comfortable with the drills and the speed at which we do things.

But believe me - we'll get to defense once real practice starts! My teams always pride themselves on defense - always have and always will. - Coach Calipari at 9/18/09

The clerk answered "Thats just how they talk up there"

Back in the car the two friends laughed about the clerk. About an hour later the man from Lexington was hungry again and stopped for more food. Again he went into a store and asked for "Maters, taters and nanners" Again, after giving him his produce the clerk asked "You have got to be from Lexington" "Well, yes I am. How did you know?" Again the second clerk responded "Yea, that's just how they talk up there"

Now it's two hours later and the two friends have been tripping on the people being able to tell how the one man was from Lexington by the way he ordered his produce. The man from Louisville was getting hungry and they decided to stop and the MAn from Louisville would order just like the man from Lexington had. He enters the store goes up a clerk and ask for "Some maters, some taters and some nanners" to which the clerk responds"Boy, you have to be from Louisville" The man from Louisville, amazed,asked "How could you tell" to which the clerk responded "This is Home Depot"

A University of Tennessee fan, 'Bama fan, University of Louisville fan and University of Kentucky fan were all hiking up a mountain. All the way up the trail they were arguing over who was the most dedicated fan. When they reached the top of the mountain, the arguing had also peaked. Inspired by the moment, the UT fan in a moment of insanity said, "I'll show you who's the most dedicated! Watch this." He then took a run and go and jumped off the cliff yelling "GO VOLS!" all the way down.

Not to ever be outdone by a Vol, the 'Bama fan said, "you won't show me up" and flung himself off the cliff yelling "ROLL TIDE!" The UK and UofL fans were shocked.

And you see those two big guys sitting next to you -- they were linebackers for the Louisville football team. And those two guys on your other side -- they're Marines, and they used to be in the ROTC at UL. Now, are you sure you really want to tell that Louisville joke?"

The judge says to the child "Boy, do you want to live with your father?", to which the little boy replies "No, my father beats me." The judge then says "Well, you must want to live with your mother." The little boy replies "No, my mother beats me also." Startled, the judge asks the boy "Well son, who do you want to live with?" The little boy without hesitation says, "I want to live in Louisville with the Louisville football team, they don't beat anybody."
How did the UL fan get hurt raking leaves? He fell out of the damn tree.
Louisville was playing Rutgers, and UofL had the ball. A nearby train was passing near the stadium and blew it's very loud horn. Rutgers thought it was halftime and went into the locker room. 4 plays later UofL finally scored.
A Louisville fan had two tickets to the Card's Big home opener. He forgot and left them on the dashboard of his car. Fearing the worst he ran outside to get them. To his dismay he noticed the drivers side window had been smashed in. And there, inside his car, on the dashboard, lay his pair of tickets and four more.
The best thing to ever come out of Louisville? Interstate 65
A University of Louisville student calls 911. Hysterically, she says, 'Someone's just broken into my house, and I think he's going to rob me!' The police officer says, 'We're really busy at the moment. Just get the guy's jersey number and we'll get back to you.'

Joke de Jour - Choosing A Wife!

2009-09-11T07:00:00.000-04:00

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what she will do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then he married the one with the biggest tits.

Men are like that, you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

"Dear lord, we pray that we may win this game today. We ask that you give us the strength and the courage to win our 2nd straight state championship. We ask lord that nobody on our side is seriously injured. We know that we are the best team. We ask that you allow us to win this game. The lord wants you to put your foot on their balls and believe in it, because that's what wins football games. Not jumping offsides like a bunch of wimps and faggots. Alright lift your heads boys, prayers over. I talked to god. I'm thru talking to god, now I'm talking to you. You're gonna be out there in front of your families, the student body, every girl you ever had a hard on for is gonna be out there today but you will not be going to no sock-hop tonight boys, you will not get no honey on your stinger if you don't go out there and bust your ass. Because this is it. This is the big one. I want you to taste it. I want you to smell it son. There's winners and there's nothing else. I don't give a shit what those pinkos over in Russia say. You want to be a loser you go live in Russia. I'm not a loser. I'm a winner. I'm an American. Who wants to be John Wayne? Who wants to grab a root and hang on? Who wants to get a mean on? Get a mean on son. Let me see you get a mean on son. Now who wants it? I want to know, who wants this? Who wants to get a mean on? Who wants it? Let's go!" - Paul Gleason acting as Wayne Hisler in Johnny Be Good (1988 movie).

Individual Workout Re-Cap for Saturday, September 5th, 2009

2009-09-07T08:38:00.007-04:00

Per Coach John Calipari:
"I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. On Saturday, we had our fourth session of individual workouts with the team. Here are some of my notes from the session:

• Darnell had a breakout day. His shooting was really good, the way we know it can be.

• I've said it before and you'll hear it a lot during the season - we have NO bad players. Everyone contributes in some way.

• I'm really impressed with Josh right now.

• Daniel was a bit under the weather but to his credit he still went hard the whole time. That tells us a lot.

• All these kids are breaking barriers each time out. We're still pushing them to go beyond their limits at this point. At the end of these sessions, I want their bodies to burn and hurt in ways that it's like sweet pain for them - so they want to get that feeling again for themselves; that's the challenge right now.

At the same time, I'm not trying to bury them. I don't need them to be demoralized - it's only early September. Still, to borrow a horse-racing term, we've got to "stretch them out a little bit."

• I can't really give a true assessment of where we are or how the team's progress compares to former squads I've had. That kind of evaluation can't start until we are able to get the whole team on the floor at once, which we can begin to do for two hours a week starting September 15.

• We are still at the point where we are building respect and affection for each other. That's growing, but it doesn't happen overnight. There will be fits and starts with that, but I see everyone supporting each other and that's a great sign. We all need to want each other to improve every day.

• The big thing for me right now is despite my crazy schedule - between alumni events, the book tour, etc. - is to be at every individual workout. NONE of the other things I do as your coach will come at the expense of me coaching these young men. That's what I love to do most.

I'm doing all these other things now, because when the season starts I'm in lock down. We actually had the release date of the book moved up (it was originally scheduled for Sept. 15) so that I could be sure to be finished with the bulk of the promotion and touring by the time we could start working with the team more regularly.

During the season, I'll never miss a practice unless it's for an extenuating circumstance. My time has to be on film study, practice, practice preparation and recruiting. When the players have their mandated off-days, those are almost always recruiting days for me. I have to maximize the hours of the day once the season starts.

• Darius, I'm finding out, is the best lob passer we have on the team.

• Our bigs are getting a better feel for what it is we ask of our big men in the Dribble Drive Motion Offense."

• Overall, another very good day of individuals and another block to build on."

GO BIG BLUE!

Oregon suspends Blount for rest of season

2009-09-05T08:10:00.006-04:00

Please click on link: Oregon suspends Blount for rest of season
Posted using ShareThis

Oregon's decision to suspend RB LeGarrette Blount was correct. There is no excuse for this type of sportsmanship.

Blount was suspended for all remaining games on Friday for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the jaw following the 16th-ranked Ducks' 19-8 loss to the 14th-ranked Broncos the night before. Because he is a senior, Blount's playing days in Eugene are over.

However, Byron Hout should not have touched or taunted Blount. Being hit in the jaw is not equal in terms of the taunts but I do not feel bad for Hout. If you talk trash to a player, you better be ready to back it up. Hout got knocked to his knees because he wrote a check his ass couldn't cash! Celebrate with your team, enjoy the victory, go to the locker room. Again, there is no room for this type of sportsmanship but Hout should be suspended for at minimum a game! Word of advise for Hout, if you are going to talk trash, be prepared to back it up!

Individual Workout Re-Cap for Monday, August 31, 2009

2009-09-01T07:31:00.003-04:00

Per John Calipari: "I thought we had a great session of individual workouts on Monday - the guys are really starting to show how committed they are to becoming champions.

We again had the team broken into three groups of four - the bigs, the wings and the guards. Patrick, Perry, Ramon and Darius were in Group 1; John Wall, Jon Hood, DeAndre and Eric were in Group 2; Darnell, Josh, Daniel and DeMarcus were in group 3.

(Darnell's hip was feeling better and he was able to go at full speed on Monday.)

We added some new ball handling drills and also some shooting drills to augment what we had done in our first two days of individual workouts. There were shooting drills and also a drill we run with movement patterns which is meant to further teach the Dribble Drive Motion Offense.

To be honest, I have no idea if they're grasping the dribble drive at this point! But I do know the more they do the drills, the more they learn to attack the basket and that is so vital in our offense. They're not ready to read or feel the offense yet, but that's perfectly normal at this stage.

The guy that stood out in my mind was DeMarcus, who was an absolute beast and really pushed himself like I had not seen him do before.

I thought much the same of Eric, whom I hadn't seen work that hard for that long.

Now, my job as their coach is to get those two to enjoy that feeling and seek it each and every time they are on the court.

Patrick continues to make strides playing as a more perimeter-oriented player and his hard work in the summer is showing each time I see him.

We'll have one more day of individuals where we group the players this way and that session will build upon the first three days of work we did. We will then begin to group the players differently with two bigs and two guards in each group."

Great stuff from Coach Cal. GO BIG BLUE!

Our chemistry is going to be there. We're having a lot of fun with each other, spending time, and I think that's really going to help us out, too."

UK Basketball views from Yahoo Sports Writers:

2009-08-31T11:10:00.002-04:00

Jason King says: "After watching the Wildcats practice last week, I'm convinced they're the most talented team in America. I'm not sure it's even close. Everyone talks about John Wall ? and rightfully so ? but, folks, DeMarcus Cousins is a beast. If John Calipari's squad puts it all together, there won't be a better team."

MIke Huguenin says: " John Calipari's hiring will pay off immediately with a great season. He brought in the nation's best recruiting class, and John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins will be stars from day one. Patrick Patterson hung around for his junior season, and he should be a force inside. And there are enough complementary players that Calipari can do some mixing-and-matching with his lineup with little drop-off in talent."

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he shouted.

"An ambulance just drove by!"

"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out.

"Matt's riding a new bike!"

"Looks like the Sanders are moving!"

"Jason is on his skateboard!"

After hesitating a few moments, he announced, "the Coopers are screwing!!"

Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, "how do you know they're screwing?"

"Because Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a popsicle."

Saturday, August 29, 2009 Individual Workouts Re-cap

2009-08-30T18:11:00.001-04:00

Per John Calipari:
I felt it was a good day of effort from everyone and we were able to build on what we did earlier in the week. We shot the ball better today and we are starting to see the players begin to grasp how the Dribble Drive Motion Offense works.

Sophomore Darnell Dodson is dealing with a little hip injury so we held him out and inserted senior Mark Krebs who did fine. We're being cautious with Darnell - as we are with all our players - and he is day-to-day. No sense in risking injury while we're still in August!

The biggest thing the guys are doing right now is breaking through barriers - especially the younger kids who are dealing with playing through the fatigue some have been experiencing.

For the older guys, it's been a matter of learning how we play and retaining the information we are throwing at them in heaps.

Overall, a very productive day on and off the court.

To which the gentleman said, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"
