Kiffin could fall head-first into a mud puddle and come up sparkly clean. The above analyses proves so. Someone somewhere is willing to give Joey Freshwater a new gig. Might note (from above as well), it seems he always falls uphill. Maybe I (we) are jealous. I always got dirty, and darn sure didn't fall uphill, when I tumbled. In any case, bear him no ill-will, and hope to see him in a CFP game or three.

Always loved the history of that song. Nobody knows who actually wrote it but it was a well known folk song/spiritual in early 20th century southern prisons sung by work gangs. Lead Belly popularized it with two different recordings of it in 1934 and again in 1940, but the first known commercial recording of it was in 1926 by Dave "Pistol Pete" Cutrell

And that folks, is Gmen's Blues History lesson for today.

About 30 years ago I started going back and looking for original recordings and the roots of the various remakes that we listen to today. This was another favorite of mine

Kind of cool how Steely Dan interpreted the trumpet for guitar

Watched the last half of 76ers-Celtics... and now feel a bit better about the Cavs games
Celtics literally bulled directly into their defenders who had feet planted.. then pushed off with the forearm to gain space.. no calls
same thing Toronto is doing to Cavs and same no calls.. guess it's playoff time

Embid is beat to shit.. would not be surprised if he does not make it thru the next round.. even with the flopping.. it was a war down low
He's a major load.. huge dude who can shoot.. Cavs would have no answer for him.. too strong..

Is he seriously hurt?

He seemed a bit banged up after maxey fell into his knee but was it serious enough to carry over to the next series?

Just finished this…



Good, fairly short read. Honestly, if you’ve seen the film “13 Days” based on this, you don’t really need to read the book. That’s a great flick, btw.

2025 Grand Cherokee. Definitely a smoother ride than the Ranglar it replaced.

A couple things I see that will put pressure on the current system:

1. Smaller schools will get fed up with losing their investment when a player transfers and ask for compensation.
2. Whatever organization is trying to oversee football will want a resolution and end to the non-stop lawsuits. Today it is uncontrollable due to all the court cases.

There may be other solutions, but the one that jumps out to me is a collective bargaining agreement. The players would need to organize and have a collective representation to negotiate for them.

Only issue with a CBA, is it lessens the players leverage. They have no reason whatsoever to organize when their making more money than ever now. It will have to get to a point where Collectives no longer see a ROI, and I just don't see that happening anytime soon. For example, Mark Cuban will only up his donation since he helped in getting IU an NC and their best season in history in Cig's 2nd year. Cody Campbell isn't slowing down his spending with TTU after getting them in the CFP last year and they just landed arguably the best RB in TX for 2027. USC and ND are getting all time classes. Miami was just in the NC after being laughed at by so many fanbases for "buying their roster". And I can keep going, but it doesn't look like enough school's are suffering to stop paying kids big money.

And smaller schools are getting better talent than ever before. If a kid asks for compensation, they can show him the door because there's guaranteed another kid willing to take his spot. And the opposite is true as well, a coach from Wofford, would take a kid from Mizzou(i.e. schools like: Tenn St, Tartleton St and Stephen F Austin and South Dakota to name a few that landed P4 transfers)

Buckeyes win game 2 7-3 and will take the series over corn!

17 runs and no HR?
Impressive.

Gonna be 6 games out after this 0-7 road trip
