They don't sing the old lyrics at Churchill Downs anymore. I think they use "Youngin's"

Mint juleps are fucking gross! And I HATE THE DERBY. That is all.

I'm surprised Jim is still coming to the station since he put down that big bet on Leicester.

We should start some kind of cat-racing league. First we have to figure out how to get the cats to race around a track.

Cliff, there are various races of animals that are thought to be too much trouble to train, such as insects, where the start is the center of a circle, and the finish is the edge.

A guy from Leicester also won the world snooker championship yesterday. It's 5,000-1 that I will ever understand the rules of that game. I always end up singing from "The Music Man."

I'm sure you COULD train cats to run around a track. because they train cats to do all sorts of tricks. And if they had a "rabbit' as in greyhound racing, it'd be even easier.
Avatar 6:14pm
Danne D:

5000/1 is bookie odds too - that is the price the bookie is comfortable giving. The real odds were probably much higher.

I'm not aware that there was a helluva lot of people that put money on Leicester though.

yeah my mind was blown today when i found out you guys don't have promotion and relegation in anything
Avatar 6:14pm

Hard to think of a comparison to Leicester City.
Some say Miracle on Ice but that only happened over 6 games. Leicester had to do this over a 38-game schedule which is mind blowing.

Cliff:

Listener Robert: I saw some TV show about cat shows where they had them go through an obstacle course, and their owners would have to keep waving a feather in front of their faces so that they wouldn't get too distracted...the cats would keep stopping in the middle to lick themselves or watch imaginary insects or whatever. :)
  6:16pm
Listener Robert:

A visiting cousin got Smoky, a neighborhood cat, to run around in circles. My cousin (forgot whether it was Brucie or Diane who discovered this; maybe even Allen, their brother) dragged a stick of branches on the grass in our front yard while spinning in a circle. Apparently s/he knew pussy cats love chasing that.

This sounds great :)

Listener Robert:

Cliff, I have similar experiences coaching children in football. This evening because it's so gloomy, I'm skipping our spring training clinic. I guess cats bore easily too.

@Danne D Not as shocking as LC and in retrospect it doesn't seem too crazy, but Northwestern going 8-0 to win the B1G in '95 without having been over .500 in decades is the closest in my memory.

Danne D:

@Chalmers that was another example I though of as Northwestern had been terrible for years. But they had teams that were in the top 2 as recently (relative to '95) as 1971 - but yeah they certainly came to mind.

One could argue Rutgers run to the final 4 in '76 but they didn't win it all and that run was heavily aided by a very very favorable bracket (conferences were limited to no more than 2 teams in the tourney I think) as well as the fact that regionals were actually regional (and there wasn't much in the way of competition in the East regional as a result).

chalmers:

@Danne D Rutgers '76 is a a great run, but I agree that they got a break with the competition. I think Penn '79 had a tougher path (UNC, 'Cuse, St. John's). Of course, they got obliterated by Magic's Spartans.
Avatar 6:28pm
Danne D:

Another champion that came to mind as a possible comparison to Leicester would be Alan Kulwicki winning the 1992 NASCAR championship as an Owner/Driver. Though he did finish 8th a couple seasons prior so I still think Leicester is crazier.

that's not true at all, tomasz. fighting in hockey is way down, and will soon be illegal.
