[Moderated by Matt Jones]

There have been some fairly poorly kept secrets in our day. Stan Van “Ron Jeremy” Gundy was likely the only individual outside of my grandmother’s house who did not know that at some point during his job with the Miami Heat, Pat Riley was going to take his hair care products and replace him on the sidelines as coach of Shaquille and Dewayne Wade. Liberace, Elton John and Freddie Mercury for some reason fooled millions of people for years whose gaydar must have been worse than Tony Soprano’s as they kept up the fallacy that they were not playing for the “other team” during their rock careers. And we all know that we are less than a year away from a Lindsey Lohan meltdown that will end up in rehab and a rendevous with Jack Nicholson at a Laker game.
But none of these may be worse kept secrets than the news that Rekalin Sims will soon transfer to some mid level Div I college in California (San Jose St?). For weeks now, everyone who knows (and many who dont) have confirmed that Sims is indeed headed out the door, a suspicion all but confirmed from his Junior College in Utah (with he and Nate Knight, can we all now agree that no more Juco kids from Utah is a good plan??). Sims likely sees that his initial year at UK, where he performed much worse than even the last JUCO All American, the immortal Antwain Barbour, was a complete failure and next year will likely be no better as his potential to unseat Bobby Perry or Sheray Thomas looks more and more remote.
So the question is, what is Sims waiting for? There has been some speculation that Tyler Smith is waiting on Sims’ decision before he commits to Kentucky, a suggestion I find absurd, as if Tyler were to pick the Cats, a scholarship would immediately be found (hey Jared, dont you think an academic ride would be nice. You get to be honored on Academic Night!!!). So there must be something else up with Sims, as he is still in town, and playing in pickup games with the team. There has been some talk that he is considering staying, but redshirting…a move I find plausible, but not one that he has ever mentioned himself.
UItimately Sims’ best more is likely to go. He has very little to show for his time in Lexington and I dont think things are going to improve (his weight gain is approaching Matt Heissenbuttel levels). So that leaves the question….what is your favorite memory of the Rekalin Sims era? Was it his 20 point game against Iowa in the Guardians Classic? Or was it…..well thats the only one I can think of. My most treasured moment was watching him attempt to rebound in the SEC tournament with such futility that it caused one of my group to say, “well there is one positive…..he has insured that Shagari wont get the “Marvin Stone Memorial Worst Rebounder Award” on awards night.”
What are your favorite moments…..real or imagined?

If this is kid is so bad why did UK recruit him? Does anyone on this staff know how evaluate recruits? What is really sad is UK has no player on this team that can play the small forward or power forward postions. Bobby Perry is a nice role player but he is not a Mercer or Anderson type player. For that matter neither is Crawford. Crawford may be better this year but we will have to wait and see. I am still trying to figure out how people think UK will be better next year and this team does not have a good point guard or any guard who shoots the consistantly. These new kids coming in seem to be athletic but not so sure how good of shooters they are? Is Michael Porter a kid that gain minutes in his 1st year? I just feel this UK has more question marls than any team I can remember since Pitino’s 1st year.

Avast swabbies! We have been keeping our eye on Creech for awhile now and we can’t seem to figure out how a lad as dumb as him could last so long. We think he would have been killed long ago by his parents ARR! Or at least have fell down a well or something of that sort. If he served aboard me vessel he’d be walking the plank in no time………Ay that or serving as a bottom to Mr.Peegs, the ships deck master. To Mr.Peegs credit he is rough but gentle. ARRR!! There be sea monsters and sodomites about so watch your sterns folks. ARRR!!

When he made the front end of a one-and-one to decrease Indiana’s lead to 19 late in the second half, without a doubt.

I forgot about that moment great memory!!

My favorite moment was when he hit that 18 foot jumper from the corner as time expired
to beat Duke in the National Title Game for that crippled little boy in the hospital.
How did Rekalin know he was crippled? Rekalin was the one that did the crippling, just
so he could have some motivation. He also entered a Pop-Tart into the Westminster Dog
Show under the name “Lady Marzipan” and took home second runner-up.

I would like to know re Sims also. Any info appreciated.

I was in Utah over Easter weekend. My stepdaughter scrimmages at SLCC and knows his coach. Word is he will probably transfer to a West Coast team like Pepperdine. That was AS OF 2 weekends ago.
Sims is a very good player when healthy.

Há três partidos em uma transação de seguro da vida; o segurador, os insured, e o proprietário da política (policyholder), embora o proprietário e os insured sejam frequentemente a mesma pessoa. Por exemplo, se life insurance comprar uma política em sua própria vida, é o proprietário e o insured. Mas se Mary Smith, sua esposa, compras uma política na vida de John, ela for o proprietário e é o insured. O proprietário da política é chamado o grantee (ou serão a pessoa que pagará pela política)

Si eres cualquier cosa como mí, odias el pensamiento del gasto cuarenta horas a la semana en un trabajo del punto muerto. Las luces fluorescentes de zumbido, la gerencia idiota, el hecho de que necesitas despertar doloroso temprano - el único alto punto son que viene viernes cada semana. Dije tan a me, allí me consigo ser una manera mejor. ¡Una cierta manera de hacer el dinero que me deja fijar mis propias horas y hacer una cantidad cómoda del dinero!

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Since one of the ideas is to split strings not into words, but hopefully into phrases more semantically informative than the words they are made of, doing that better should mean better suggestions, and avoiding what essentially are word n-tuples should make for smaller data and slightly faster querying.

All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
