    I was thinking more like 7-0 but I'll take it. 

    Didn't get to watch unfortunately. 

    You should circle back and just watch the first half. Maresca’s game plan was bang on and the boys were on the front foot from the get go.

  2. So I've known that my work was going to land me at the Final of the Club World Cup for awhile. I didn't even want to talk about the possibility of Chelsea making it there for fear of jinxing things. I know this cup is fledgling at best, but I'm glad it exists as this will be my first opportunity to cheer the boys on in person. I know we will be underdogs to whoever wins today, but I'm hoping the fact that it's a final between two top flight Euro clubs will at least draw a respectable crowd for a good match day experience.

    BTW, I'm totally using this as justification for buying one of our 2025 away shirts. I don't think anyone has mentioned those yet on this thread, but they might be my favorite away shirt since I started following the club ~12 years ago.

    It's also frustrating that silent commitments still aren't worth shit, even with NIL deals on the table. 

    The only thing frustrating about silent commits is that people still talk about them. They have always meant and will always mean exactly fuck all.

  4. Gary Robinson runs the pro shop at Highland lanes and those guys know their shit. He’s got several dudes trained up really well. Tony or Ramon also do a great job if Gary isn’t working, but Gary is there much more often than not.

  5. Special is too strong of a word. I should have put boutique exclusive in quotes, as I think it’s probably just a slight derivation from what’s widely available through any AD retail shop. But it gives them something they can claim is unique. It has a forest green dial that I had a hard time capturing with my iPhone camera. Here’s their image:

    It also came with the green rubberized strap and then they threw in the calf strap that is in my original picture. 

    It’s a standard Luminor at the end of the day. I know the movement isn’t done in house and Panerai tends to be shit on by the elite watch enthusiasts, but I’ve always loved the ID and I’m happy to have it as a more casual option.

  6. 1924 and KoK taste nothing alike. I am frankly befuddled by the love for 1924. I got one of the first batch of bottles and thought it was absolutely nothing to write home about. Isn't it essentially just a rebranded Early Times?

    I said Barton. And I meant to type Bardstown. 

    That makes more sense then. 

    For me, it's a bit apples and oranges to compare the experience at Willet and the experiences at BBC. And different people will come away with different thoughts about which one is better based on their own preferences. The main takeaway is that you should do them both.

    To add color:

    four roses - skip (nothing worth a shit on tasting menu)

    HH - do if only for the allocated bottle (you do bourbon or connoisseur depending on what you are after) 

    Barton - I would do as it’s a very cool setup and bar is great with lots of options to taste

    BT - likely do, as historical and pick which one interests you most  all end in same tasting of their mainstream offerings  

    whiskey thief - kinda cool off the run experience with barrel tasting.  If you want unique, this is it  

    Preservation - skip

    willett - do it right before your reservation at bar Willett 

    Jack Ruby steakhouse - highly recommend this stop in Lexington. And be sure to try their exclusive 16 year Boone county MGP pick if there is any left  

     

    Tell me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company without telling me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company. The bar at Willet is excellent, but you're doing it all wrong if you aren't making time for BBC. The restaurant and the whiskey library tasting experience should not be missed. 

  9. He was good, but ultimately not good enough. An important player in changing the trend line of the program, and he left it all out on field.
