Adding jalapeno jelly, cream cheese, and crackers to this, as well. 

How do you make the crackers? Is this a stadium or home tailgate? Smoked queso is always good. My biggest tip on it is to add some evaporated milk to keep it from clumping. 

I know it’s a bit early, but I’m sure I’m not the only one looking at this game. Illinois starts their season 8/27 at home against Wyoming. 
 

What’s on the tailgate menu for everyone?

Anyone heard anything regarding who we expect at QB?

I’ve only hear the official program stance of nod decision has been made and if one had we wouldn’t say anyway. 

We got tickets for the FanFest, as well.  It should be a good time.

I am allowed a lot of flexibility when it comes to going in the office, but I actually prefer doing so versus working from home. 

The final video imbedded in the story link below is actually pretty cool.  It shows the robot removing one of the devices.  Caution that you may want to mute as there is a very annoying sound (I assume coming from the robot).

That’s a pretty wild scene. My wife’s office isn’t far from the area that was blocked off. 
It will be interesting to see what it was.

News coming out that the devices (plural) were marked 'Bomb 1' and 'Bomb 2'.

 

Sounds like the area has been cleared. Pretty crazy way to start the day. That’s when I’m glad I can work from home and my building is out of town so I can avoid that area. 

Sounds like this is more of a ‘home’ and home since I’m sure the other game will be played in Rupp.

Committing at 2 today…guessing sparty

I came here to post this. Seems like a quick turnaround from announcing the top 10 to committing. 
 

Everything looks like Sparty to me, too. 

We’re supporting local musicians today. 
 

We’re at a musical festival featuring local bands that supports a historical society. As a bonus, Everett Dean was involved in property the festival benefits. 
 

Regardless of what you like or where you’re from, there is probably a place that has local music you’d enjoy.

“Well, sh*t, he can shoot the three-ball.” Mike Woodson (probably).

No NIL $$$ in W Lafayette 

He probably didn’t get what he expected for that (alleged) playbook. 

Is the next move UNC, UVA, FSU, and Clemson to the SEC?

If it happens that means they got out of the ACC contract and the rest of the conference is up for grabs.

I’ll draft Bree’s &…..is there an IU or Purdue player worth drafting ?

Tevin Coleman was solid and Rondale Moore was pretty good. 
 

I think Ian Thomas was ok as a TE to keep. I’m sure Bell will be good, too. 

Not sure where this fits. 
 

I predict USC to the east and UCLA to the west. No other division changes.

Trouble ahead in Durham?  

Xavier Booker might want to take a look... 

if it was any other coach and school this would be a much bigger story. 
 

It sounds like Amaker expected an hour offer and may have even gotten one from someone at Duke. When K found out he shut it down and made sure they hired someone that would let him maintain some control and influence. 
There has to be a ton of pressure on Scheyer. 

I’ll second McCulley to WR is likely. 
 

I think the tight lid is by design. I heard an interview where Allen mentioned not wanting anyone to know what to expect. With some questions around who will start at QB, 2 new coordinators, and an opener against a conference team I kind of like it.

It was a sad songs week in my music league. Somebody chose Colin Hay’s - I just Don’t Think I’ll Get Over You. After all this time thinking the song was about a girl, I just learned that he wrote it about his struggle with alcoholism.

Takes on a new meaning.

…..Still a classic

I drink good coffee every morning
It comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say

Don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
Is that if I lived till I was a hundred and two
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

I'm no longer moved to drink strong whiskey
I shook the hand of time and I knew
that if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Your face it dances and it haunts me
your laughter is still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
even after all these years

I don't want you thinking that i don't get asked to dinner
cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
and even though I may seem to feel a touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

if I live till I was a hundred and two
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

You should check out the show Scrubs if you haven’t. They use a few Colin Hay songs.

Getting the grill and smoker out this weekend. Plan to smoke a pork loin and bone-in chicken quarter thighs. Will try making some fun pizza burgers, been awhile since I’ve done that. 

Bone in chicken leg quarters are one of our favorites. we get the 10 lb bags for about $8.

I remember my Dad getting a Hudepol at old Crosley Field once...

He didn't get a second one... Not up to his Falls City standards at the time I guess... 

Falls City is still going strong in Louisville. 

I ended up doing some grilling. I did a beef tongue barbacoa, smoked queso, and some shotgun shells. 
 

It all turned out solid but I have some things to improve on.

All the coaches wanted him to progress.  It just wasn’t Fife. Rumor is Purdue turned down his commitment.  Woodson wanted him to progress as well. 

Why would PU turn down a commit from a top 100 in state kid?

I’d bet anything TK takes this on the restart. 

I certainly hope you’re right.

Geez, we are getting old LOL!

Apparently Louisville trying to recruit D.J. Wagner with a lifetime of shits. 

 

I’m pretty sure the only rules around NIL were that it can’t be contingent on someone playing for a certain school and the school itself can’t be involved. This violates both. 
 

There are 2 rules and they couldn’t follow either. 

I like where TK is. 
Staying in contention and out of trouble.
