re: What Car Do You Drive?

2025 Honda Ridgeline, 6100 miles, paid off. Rides like a car and not too high. I’m 76 and couldn’t climb in and out of a full-sized truck anymore. This is a dream for someone who just wants a truck bed to toss lawn gear, grandkids’ crap, etc. in the back and still have a comfortable ride. (It’s basically a Honda Pilot with a truck bed.)

Wife drives a 2023 Honda Passport, 21,000 miles and paid for. A nice distance, vacation mobile.

You ought to offer a map of the end zones to your Aggies.

Just keep in mind, it’s October. Leftists have all their knives out right now. And their only common argument is OMB.

Gators done quit, methinks.

Robert’s having his way. Up to 200 yards rushing.

And Iowa (a.k.a Penn State) is being, well, Iowa.

Gators were actually No. 21 two weeks ago. Jumped 13 spots to No. 8.
Dunno, but I’d pay extra just to hear Lynn Rollins and Ben McDonald call a football game.

I’ve had to put down two of my beloved friends (my dogs) and the vets never had to run an IV line. Just a powerful sedative injected to relax them and then an injection into a leg artery to stop the heart. Worked quickly and humanely both times.

Why aren’t same drugs used on humans?

An idea. Just give her a treat, pet her on the head and haul her arse over to my vet.
No. It was Elon Christian Charter Academy.

Seriously, Elon is a Top 100 ranked university in North Carolina with a competent athletic program. Clark got a good background and solid experience at Elon.

Go watch his Elon highlight reel. A stud.
He would have moved Harold Perkins to his true position — RB and turned him into an All-SEC monster à la Mr. Baugh.
Seriously? 8.5 to 9.

I can see he has a plan. But I don’t have any idea how it’s going to play out.

No. Just stay away from solid purple pants. Worst ever.
This was debated back when that “old” button first came out. It was eventually deemed incorrect and should be Ole Miss.

Indeed, the 2-foot thick Old English Dictionary says most uses of this term should be Ol’.

The OED makes exception for two uses — Grand Ole Opry and Ole Miss.

Second true story: on the flight back from Jackson, Coach Charlie Mac was seated by me and then stood and called his seniors to the front. He asked for a vote to accept a bid to play Penn State in the Orange Bowl. But the bid would not be announced for two days.

Of course, the vote was unanimous.

Mac then turned and looked at me, pointing, “And I had better not see a fricking word of this in the Reveille tomorrow.” He then flashed his winning smile.

True story: I was the football writer for The Reveille in 1973 and wrote the 10+7+ … headline and game story. It did not run in The Advocate.

But I did get a shout out for it in the briefs section of Sports Illustrated.

Thank you for remembering.
Has anyone posted a link to the classic video of the LSU hubby ragging on his hysterical Ole Miss wife throwing the milk carton — “I hate LSU!!!”

Several years old now. But a classic.
And … Argentina is doing some saber-rattling of their own. They want the Falkland Islands back. 2027 should interesting for the UK.

At Elon he threw a 74-76 yard TD pass — in the air!

BUIES CREEK — Landen Clark’s 96-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Fuhrmann with 1:07 remaining in the fourth quarter lifted visiting Elon over Campbell 31-24 on Saturday at Barker-Lane Stadium.

74 yards in the air

Encouraged by backup QB?

This is by no means a call for LClark to play over Sam. But I am encouraged by the poise and performance of our Elon transfer.

I had heard a lot of praise from different sources about him during the summer.

Nice to have someone who doesn’t send us into panic if Sam has to come out for a bit.
Kiffin and Weis could coach this kid up. Portal bargain.
Another key figure in all this is the champion of the sports bill — Nick Saban. All this SEC stuff is jeopardizing Nick’s baby. Plus Nick would like to be Sankey’s replacement AND is Kiff’s mentor. Sankey has pissed off a deep sea of power.

Like one insider told me today, Sankey really is an ok guy in person but also has a high opinion of himself and always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Evidence of this was his attitude in district court.
