Only about 2 years ago, I watched her performing live and she was hitting every single note like she was still in her prime. That means she was still in her prime until the very end. Not many singers can do that.

When I was an OU student and my future wife was at Baylor, she bought the Dolly and Kenny Christmas album. I had to listen to it constantly. That brings back great memories and it is a classic album everyone should own.

Just repeating what l heard from the talking heads on SEC network. Where were they wrong?


Yeah. I believe Texas has 7 top 25 matchups, followed by AR, KY, and OU with 6.

Respectfully, they aren’t in the same district then. Maybe in the same geographic area, or district zoning area. But 2 teams that would not play for the same championship are simply not in the same district unless your state uses ridiculously dumb terminology that’s not universally accepted.


I think you are close. In Texas, they kind of do this (more or less) -

They divide the state into a north/south scene. In the playoffs, there are 2 different 6A state champions, 2 5A champions, and so forth.

They put the top 6A teams from north Texas against the top 6A teams in south Texas. (Usually a Houston vs DFW matchup - sometimes Austin vs DFW.)

They slot 2 6A north champions to face off against 2 6A south champions. At seasons end, the state of Texas always has 2 6A state champions. I want to say Duncanville is 5A, but they have switched back and forth a few times based on population. Don't quote me on that.

They were amazing as a team too - finished 14-1 as state champions. The closest win was the championship final, which they won by 16.

Incredible that they were just the second-best team that year. Their lone loss was to district rival DeSoto, won finished 15-0 and also won state. Yes, two teams from the same district can win state.


It would be interesting to see a list of players from those 2 high schools over the past 10 years who went on to play college football. I bet it would be slightly dazzling.

Your math may be wrong. Please explain.

They collected a small herd of stock to breed on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Lawton, Oklahoma.


That is a darn cool place to visit. You north Texaners who've never been there - you need to plan a weekend trip in the cooler weather months. You will love it.

Arkansas plays the most top 25 teams but followed closely by Kentucky and Texas. Of course it makes a difference if you are not in the top 25…because Texas can’t play Texas. Missouri plays the most teams inside the top 10.


Are you sure?

They just got an upgraded weight room. The team collectively increased their maxes in the 4 main lifts by nearly 14,000 pounds over the offseason.

Rusty Whitt is a decent follow on social media and posts workout videos of the team (he is the S+C coach).


Yes. I used to hunt ducks with his best friend. He joined us one morning when we traveled up to Colorado to do some freelancing. He was in Co Springs doing some training when he was a green beret at the time.

He's on the left. 20 yrs ago this October.

Minnesota is going to kill Mississippi State

I don't know. Minnesota was a roller coaster team last year.

They lost to Northwestern, Cal, Ohio State, Iowa, Oregon.

They beat Wisconsin, Mich State, Purdue, Nebraska, Rutgers, and their cupcake games.

Got blown out by Oregon 42-13, Ohio State 42-3, and Iowa 41-3.

The writers may have us at 10-11 wins based on eyeballs, but Vegas is using actual computations/odds by studying our schedule (brutal,) past history, and other data.

The truth is probably somewhere between the two.
He has the most compelling and recent success record you could just about find.

I will be pulling for him because he brought over his strength coach from Tulane, a guy that I used to know during the Iraq war. He was a green beret.
There was nothing more hilarious than reading Surlyhorns when he beat Texas and said it was borderline erotic. Those fans got so mad they literally wanted to kill that guy. That was some funny s***! :lol:
I hate it, but Wyoming's is kind of cool.
I hunted ducks with his strength and conditioning coach in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in 2006. He was a Green Beret at the time.

On his way to meet us at camp, he said he went to buy a hunting license but they wouldn't sell him one because he didn't have a hunter safety card in Colorado.

LOL

Bama better stretch before Week 2, because Kentucky’s in the “Krog” is going to remind the Crimson Tide what it looks like when a real up in coming program punches back. Y’all aren’t facing last year’s Cats — you’re facing the team that’s about to make the SEC rethink its pecking order.

Feed the studs. Go Cats!

I am just incredibly happy.

I was too nervous to watch and listened on the radio.


Same here, buddy. I'm 62 and this was the most fun I've had in a long time.

If Glauber says he can go and this game is tight, I expect him to be up in the pen in the 7th.


He was showing signs of slippage the longer he was in, so it may not be a bad thing if they have to use him.
