Good Weekend for the Cats!

"Freshman" Brandon Knight broke away from WV's and Bob Huggin's typical physical play and dropped 30 on the Mountaineers, as KY got revenge from last year's Sweet 16 loss - 71-63.
We were operating on about a 30 minute delay as the game tipped off at 12:15 due to Kacey attending a baby shower but the magic of the DVR made everything work just fine as the dogs and burgers were grilling out by the pool. Once the computers were synced up with the West Household in SC, we were ready for a fun afternoon.
Next up for the Cats - Ohio State, the overall # 1 seed. We are not skeered of the buckeyes. Should be another fun game but the late tip Friday evening (9:45pm) presents yet another dilemma for game time festivities. Do we all try to stay up late or do we tape the game and plan the game around a big game day breakfast on Sat morning? What say you?

March Madness Gets Off To A Glorious Start

Not because of KY's 2 point win over Princeton(59-57) but because of Morehead's defeat of the dirty Cards and Little Ricky - 62-61. Up Next WVU. Go Cats!

The Party Is Over

I have been in radio for 21 years and worked for an NPR funded station for 3.5 years. I have never understood the need for taxpayer dollars to go toward the funding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting of which NPR falls under. The private sector can handle all the broadcasting needs of the public just fine. $422 million dollars goes to CPB - $93 million of it goes to NPR. The supporters will say "it's just a drop in the bucket." I for one, add up all the unnecessary "drops in the buckets" which when added together, equal buckets overflowing with waste. If your programming is good enough, the public will support it without the government's help. It's time we let CPB and NPR make it on their own, if they can.
