For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

LHL "Chippiness" not a great part of game ... Right Coach Mitchell!

UK women's notes: 4 technicals in 'chippy' match vs. Tennessee

SEC Kentucky Tennessee Basketball
Tennessee's Cierra Burdick had her shot blocked by UK's Samarie Walker, left, and DeNesha Stallworth. "Chippiness happens," said Burdick, who also earned a second-half technical.
JASON GETZ — AP
DULUTH, Ga. — Championship games between familiar foes are rarely friendly.
But Kentucky Coach Matthew Mitchell thought the Southeastern Conference championship game with Tennessee got a little too chippy, including a pair of double technicals in the second half that he thought altered the game.
"I was very disappointed in how that affected the game," Mitchell said. "It could have been stopped much earlier than it boiling over and affecting the game."
Mitchell and his UK players said the "activity" started before the game with trash talking from Lady Vols junior forward Cierra Burdick and continued throughout.
"It's not the first time that's happened with that player," Mitchell said, noting that he mentioned it to the officials repeated times. "So you watch film. You see how players act. So I noticed it early on. It's a loud arena. It's a tough game. I guess they didn't see it."
The frustrations boiled over into double technicals for Samarie Walker and Burdick with 8:35 to go and UK up 51-50.
"She said something to one of my teammates; I said something back," Walker said. "That kind of made it worse."
The first issue turned into another round of double technicals for DeNesha Stallworth and Jasmine Jones.
"That's not what I wanted to see in the SEC championship game," Mitchell continued. "I'd rather see two teams play, not have a bunch of talking, yapping, unsportsmanlike conduct, but that's what it ended up being."
Burdick was asked about it after the Lady Vols' 71-70 win in The Arena at Gwinnett Center and she shrugged it off.
"I don't remember making contact with anybody," she said. "It's a physical game.
"Chippiness happens. It happens. This is basketball. It happens every single day. I think the refs did a fine job of avoiding any altercations. Nothing happened. Words were said, but words are words. No actions took place."
Tennessee Coach Holly Warlick said she didn't notice what Mitchell said he was seeing before and during the game.
"I just wanted us to compete," she said. "I thought that's what we were doing."
Waiting game begins
Kentucky doesn't learn its NCAA Tournament fate until March 17.
The Cats know where they will play — at Memorial Coliseum as a pre-determined first- and second-round host, but they don't know what seed they will earn.
Some stumbles early in the conference season and losses to unranked teams like Alabama and Florida coupled with four wins over top 10 opponents this season make the Cats' seeding tough to predict.
Mitchell said he heard one bracket analyst had UK as a four seed, which he pooh-poohed.
"I think that's a joke," he said. "I don't think we're a four. ... But I'll tell you this, I'm glad I'm coaching Kentucky going to the NCAA tournament. I don't know if anybody will be jumping for joy if they get the Wildcats in the first round."
Even the Tennessee coach scoffed at the idea of the SEC Tournament runner-up being a No. 4 seed. "That's crazy," Warlick said.
Regardless of seeding, (Sunday morning's ESPN Bracketology had UK as a No. 3 seed in the Louisville region with familiar top seed Connecticut and the Cardinals as the No. 2 seed), Mitchell likes how his team has come together down the stretch.
"I'm really excited about the NCAA Tournament," Mitchell said. "A lot of people thought we were dead in the water. We're not; we're here and we're ready to roll. I'm glad I'm coaching Kentucky."
