Kentucky football was established in 1915, and in the ensuing 109 years, Austin TX this weekend will be the furthest west they have ever played.

In 1896 Auburn ROTC cadets greased the skids of a railway track before a football game. The train with the incoming team couldn’t stop and slid halfway to the next town, forcing them to walk 5 miles to the game possibly contributing to their 45-0 loss.

Ketch,

I thought SEC teams were limited to 25 but looking at the team rankings there are at least 2 teams, including Georgia, that are already above 25. I assume with early enrollees you can finagle the numbers. But realistically how many spots are left and what positions do you think Sark will use them for?

Texas this weekend with family instead of Florida!!! Hugeeeeeeeeee

I found this interesting since my grandparents on my Dad's side lived in Anniston, Alabama where Ft. McClellan was located and we spent a lot of time there over the years.

Katt Williams buys former Alabama military base to launch movie studio​

Katt Williams’ dreams of being a movie mogul have taken him to Alabama, where the comedian purchased a former military base with the intention to launch a movie studio.

“I can’t disclose the amount or exact location just yet, but I can confirm that he has purchased a former military base in Alabama,” Williams’ publicist, Amy Sisoyev, said in an email Thursday to AL.com.


While the comedian is mum on the property he purchased, Fort McClellan’s Cold War-era barracks in Anniston had been up for sale at a $1.5 million asking price.



An old Cold War barracks, known locally as Starships, is on the market in Anniston, Ala. (Alabama Film Office)


Known locally as “Starships,” the barracks and surrounding property consists of 30 concrete buildings with three million square feet of indoor space. There are 10 barracks with 20 rooms each, two large gymnasiums, and more than 90 acres of usable flat land on the old Ft. McClellan site.


Connie Alexander, designated broker at the Luxe Group, which represented the seller of the Fort McClellan barracks, said the property “was purchased through an LLC but Katt Williams did visit the property frequently during the purchase phase.”


“It’s a visionary endeavor, and we’re excited to see how this historic site evolves under his leadership,” Alexander said.


Efforts to reach the McClellan Development Authority -- a non-profit public corporation made to speed economic development of the former fort -- was unsuccessful.


In an interview published by GQ on Wednesday, Williams said he purchased a former Alabama military base sometime this year.


The comedian’s January appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast “Club Shay Shay” holds the YouTube interview record with more than 83 million views. Williams put several entertainers, including Kevin Hart, Rickey Smiley and Tyler Perry, on blast.


In the GQ interview, Williams told GQ he has ambitions of becoming a movie mogul à la Perry.


“It’s just not fair to put all that pressure on Tyler Perry,” he said. “He can only do so much.”


Williams was in Alabama earlier this year for stops on his ‘Dark Matter’ tour, where he performed sets in Huntsville, Birmingham and Mobile.

I just don’t get it. Women in particular love that place and I just don’t understand why. Wife from Nam tasked me with running in there after work to buy stuff for dinner (literally everything I bought could easily be found at HEB) and I left the store annoyed, hungry, and spiteful.

The store is tiny, it’s absolutely packed anytime I’ve gone in no matter the time of day, selection sucks, produce looks okay at best, I almost bought a turkey while I was there just to get it out of the way but it was $35 for a 13lb bird. The same sized bird is going for $10 at HEB right now… I mean wtf does that place have going for it?? I guess aside from the turkey the prices on everything else are pretty good but why not just go to HEB if that’s what’s most important? The next time I find myself in a Trader Joe’s will be too soon. Rant over😤

The guy is so talented, how has he not been poached by something more National? If he ever leaves The Ticket is finished.

It is fun to look back at the Rivals 2021 top 100 and remember what we thought then.

Of course the top player is Quinn Ewers, lost to Ohio State forever. What a loss. Oops, I guess he starts for Texas now.

Looking from today, you see how the list is dominated by Alabama and Ohio State. The recent successes of Georgia and Oregon were just beginning to be seen. Georgia only has only two top 50 recruits and one of those is ... wait for it ... Brock Vandagriff at #8. Guess who is starting for Kentucky against Texas tomorrow. Amarious Mims #5 was a first rounder at Georgia.

Alabama dominates the list with 17 in the top 100, 5 in the top 30. Of course Keanu Koht at #43 just got kicked off for perving on Coach DeBoer's daughter. Jo Jo Earle at #42 is on the TCU roster. Camar Wheaton at #29 is on SMU's roster. Agiye Hall #72 came to Texas, left and was arrested this summer for drugs. Christian Leary # 58 left for Georgia Tech. Ja'Corey Brooks #37 left for Louisville. Tommy Brockermeyer #9 to TCU.

That doesn't mean Alabama missed on everyone, as JC Latham #3, Dallas Turner #19 and Terrion Arnold #46 were first round NFL 2024 picks. Jalen MIlroe at #77 is still starring for Alabama. Is 17 out of 100 the record? Is getting so many as valuable as it was in the days before the portal? Look at that attrition.

Ohio State did well also, 12 in the top 100 and 5 in the top 30 (counting Ewers). Several are obvious stars Marvin Harrison, Jr at #87 and Emeka Egbuka at #11. Michael Hall at #97 was a 2nd rounder. Jack Sawyer #12 is still starting and 2nd team all Big Ten. They suffered from attrition as well, besides Ewers, Kyle McCord #35 is qb at Syracuse. Ben Christman #90 is at Kentucky.

Oklahoma did well, Caleb Williams at #6, his receiver Mario Williams at #16, our favorite big mouth Billy Bowman at #48, Clayton Smith at #24, plus two more later in the list. Of course the top 2 ran away when the head coach went to USC.

Texas literally has two top 100 players in 2021, a great one, Xavier Worthy at 67 and good one Ja'Tavion Sanders at 14. Of course this was a change over year, etc. But notable what a blow to the program missing a year is, although perhaps the failure muted a lot by the portal, e.g. Bonds, Golden, Mukuba, etc.

I remember how hard we took losing Bryce Foster #15 to A&M. He washed out and is at Kansas. I don't have to recount the Brockermeyer angst.

JJ McCarthy #45 at Michigan did well.

You have to admire Garrett Nussmeier #80 for sticking it out at LSU, now starting QB.

No way is aggy focused on the road game this week. I don’t even need the +3.5. Lil bro is super focused on next week and will get embarrassed again

This weeks 3 are Alex Morgan, Georgia Ellenwood, and Lily Muni-He

Who would you marry?
Who would you sleep with?
Who would you kick out

9 of 28 for 271 yards on all deep balls.

Within that context, he is 2 of 14 for 55 yards between the hashes (mostly deep posts).

Since Oklahoma, his accuracy 20+ yards between the hashes is:

Oklahoma 0/1
Georgia 1/3/34
Vanderbilt 0/1
Florida 0/2
Arkansas 0/3

He's 1 of 10 for 34 yards over his last five games on a primary staple of the deep passing game. Maybe he’s due and connects against fake army in college station? 🤘🏼

Just read Reuben Owens out for the year with an injury

Cliffs Notes: Despite a deep stretch of second-half basketball that left the outcome very much in serious doubt, freshman Tre Johnson got going late to help Texas escape with a 70-66 win over Syracuse.

The Participants: Texas (3-1) and Syracuse (3-0)

Pre-Game KenPom Rankings: Texas (No. 24) and Syracuse (No. 107)

Game MVP: The winner of this award was Arthur Kaluma (16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists) until Johnson woke up late to score 8 of the team's final 12 points in the final 3:45 of the game to secure the win. It didn't matter that Johnson missed 9 straight shots after starting 3 of 7 from the field, he stepped up late when the game was begging for him to be the best player on the field.

He's Baaaaaack: Everyone has been waiting for Arkansas transfer Tramon Mark to recover from an ankle injury so that he could make his Texas debut and Thursday night proved to be the night. The pre-season third-team All-SEC selection knocked down a couple of 3s in the first half and finished with 6 points on 2 of 5 shooting in 19 minutes of action, while also posting a plus/minus of -10.

Second-Half Drought The Longhorns took a 50-37 lead with 16:45 left in the second half and then scored 6 points over the course of the next 10 minutes of action, as Syracuse went on a 19-6 run to tie the game at 56-56 with less than 6 minutes to go.

Fast Start: The Longhorns jumped out to a 9-0 lead before Syracuse scored its first bucket with 15:55 remaining in the first half. Texas was able to grow that lead out to 22-10 going into the second TV timeout.

Thing You Need to Know: Syracuse shot 9 of 18 from the free throw line. That left a mark.

Battle of the Boards: Texas ended up winning the rebounding battle 35-30 and a big reason for that was Chendal Weaver crashing the boards for 9 from his guard position. Kaluma and Weaver combined for 19 of the team's 35 total rebounds.

Thing To Truly Remember: Johnson seemed lost in the Texas offense for much of the second half, but he made a tough jumped inside the 4-minute mark to end a near 20-minute shooting slump and he closed the game like a boss. Everyone seemed on the same page that he needed to have the ball and he took charge like a player completely comfortable in the closer role. This was a big little moment in the season.

As much as MAGA thinks this is the beginning of a 1000 year golden age, there is a time clock on Trump's mandate.
Most new administrations talk about the first 100 days. I think Trump has longer than that it depends on his agenda and the order of the agenda.
He need to have two lists:
Those changes that will have the least legislative opposition- the possible; and
The controversial- those that will have maximum opposition. He needs to pick no more than two of these to fast track.

Then there will be the non-legislative administrative regulations and staffing, administered by Cabinet Heads. MSM will make sure this has its own gloom and doom.

And thoughts on how to make the changes permanent- not just a One Administration Wonder.

So what will be the priorities?
