College Football’s Sweet Sixteen
Since Kentucky didn’t play last weekend it seems like a good time to look at the rest of the teams. We now have 16 undefeated teams remaining in major college football. This is down from 20 a week ago. Fortunately for the selection committee, all but 2 of the undefeated teams will need to beat…

A Long Week
Last week about this time, give or take a couple hours, I was unconscious on a hospital surgery table getting a defibrillator implanted. I got a defibrillator because my heart does funny things. Part of it isn’t as strong as the rest, causing irregularities to the point the doctors think it can stop at any…

Janet Jackson Unbreakable
Janet Jackson came to town and I decided to go at the last minute. It was a great show, but a bit short. The fun sized dancers were great and one was from Memphis.

Kentucky is 3-1
Kentucky beat Missouri 21-13 last weekend, making their record 3-1. It was the first game I got to watch instead of just following online. Watching the game I feel like Kentucky just played alright.

Kentucky is 2-1
Last weekend Kentucky lost for the first time this season, making their record 2-1. The game was against the Florida Gators, who won 14-9. Once again I didn’t get to watch the game, but kinda followed it. The next game is Saturday against Missouri and it should be the first game I get to watch…
