VS

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, is cordially invited to Bud's house this Sunday to watch the opening kickoff of the University of Kentucky's 2008 NCAA Football season!!

Our adversary will be the hated and despised in-state rivals, the University of Louisville Cardinals!

The game will be played in the slum known as Louisville, inside the miserable confines of Papa John's Cowpasture.

This annual event will be shown on ESPN and the signal will be beamed to my old barn here in Russell, Ky to be watched in 1080i HDTV on my 50" Vizio Plasma with full Surround Sound Stereo for the viewing pleasure of my drunken cronies and myself!

If you plan on attending, please be advized, you MUST be wearing BLUE! RED clothing will be a non-admittable offense!

Pre-game knoshing and conviving begins at 1:00 pm with kickoff scheduled for 3:30.

Oh yeah, and you should bring-

chips

pizza

buffalo wings

and (NOT OR!)

BEER!

Lots and lots of BEER!!!!!!

And, believe it or don't

The Series - U of L and Kentucky
Sunday's game at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium will be the 21st meeting between Louisville and Kentucky, and the 15th time the two will play for the Kroger's Governor's Cup. UK leads the all-time series, 11-9, but the Cardinals have won seven of the last nine meetings. Kentucky won last year's contest, 40-34, at Commonwealth Stadium with a 57-yard pass in the closing seconds. Louisville has won the last two meetings at home between the two teams and are 3-2 against the Wildcats all-time at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.

I just put up 25 or 26 (lost count) future posts as an hourly, on the half-hour, countdown to the Kentucky-Louisville game tomorrow.

On ESPN at 3:30PM

Feel free to ignore them at your leisure.

Did I mention it's on ESPN?

Tomorrow?

26 hours 'til kickoff!

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:

1. He called everyone brother

2. He liked Gospel

3. He didn't get a fair trial

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:

1. He went into His Father's business

2. He lived at home until he was 33

3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:

1. He talked with His hands

2. He had wine with His meals

3. He used a lot of olive oil

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian :

1. He never cut His hair

2. He walked around barefoot all the time

3. He started a new religion

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian :

1. He was at peace with nature

2. He ate a lot of fish

3. He talked about the Great Spirit

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:

1. He never got married.

2. He was always telling stories.

3. He loved green pastures.

But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:

1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was virtually no food

2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it

3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do.

Looks like a storm coming, hope I don't get struck by

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day!
