He's gotta be going after somebody...The state of Georgia is a hotbed of talent right now...Last 4 years (19, 20, 21 and 22) they've had 19 kids total in 247's top 100, and they've only nabbed one (the Edwards kid, who Crean didn't do much with)...Of the 4 in the 2022 class, the top 2 are committed out of state (Scoota Henderson to Auburn, and Bruce Thornton to Ohio State)...Banks is rated the #4 prospect in Georgia, and #92 Nationally... Coach Ya can pay big dividends down there I'd think...

LaDanien Tomlinson?

Izaiah Brockington transfers from Penn State to Iowa State...

So we can add tampering to point shaving and paying prospective recruits to the lengthy list of Kentucky indiscretions...

That'd be nice, but last year's 9-16 was awesome...

I just went over to Rupp Rafters... One guy said he wouldn't be shocked if CJ was at least an honorable mention AA...The guy averaged 7.5 points a game last year...

CJ Fredrick to Kentucky (as anticipated)...

Start calling you "The Utility Man" because you cover all the bases...

I just came in here to see @rico's double header sweep Cubs flag...

And that's the point...How many times during this whole goat rope has someone on either side of the issue presented "fact" (and yes, I'm including scientists, the CDC, and the WHO) only to walk it back later? It is a fact that people have died from the vaccination...it's also fact that people have had serious reactions to them...I understand there's a probability factored in all scientific research, but each person has to make their own decision on this...And unfortunately, a lot of people embrace information presented the by media (if not worse, "influencers" and idiot celebrities). The fact that the media on both sides will edit and twist facts to fit a certain narrative concerns me much more than if I'll get the shot or not...

I believe in 2nd chances and redemption, but there has to be a limit...

@tdhoosier you and I have had a lot of great conversations, but on this point, In the grand scheme of things, I think you're dead wrong here... The ultimate goal of a true journalist is to present facts, not take sides and push agendas...Unfortunately, at this point, we're way past that...

Legally, states can enact such legislation... Link "In 1905 the Supreme Court addressed mandatory vaccinations in regard to smallpox in Jacobson v Massachusetts [2]. There the Court ruled that the police power of a state absolutely included reasonable regulations established by legislature to protect public health and safety [2]. Such regulations do not violate the 14th Amendment right to liberty because they fall within the many restraints to which every person is necessarily subjected for the common good [3]. Real liberty for all cannot exist if each individual is allowed to act without regard to the injury that his or her actions might cause others; liberty is constrained by law. The Court went on to determine in Jacobson that a state may require vaccination if the board of health deems it necessary for public health or safety [4]." The key words to me are "established by the legislature." No state executive action (or Federal action for that matter) should overrule that. Sets a dangerous precedent in my opinion. I will say this...Much of the reasonable dialogue has been lost in the political noise this pandemic has fostered. This disease and every relevant issue surrounding it have been politically weaponized to the point it's hard to have a discussion about it without bringing out the factions.

Wow...Teddy Allen, formerly of West Virginia, Wichita State, and most recently, Nebraska, gets another shot with New Mexico State. When he left Nebraska, I thought it was to explore his pro options, or was that just a story? He's a dirty player and a messed up kid with a dangerous temper. I guess he'll keep getting chances until he seriously hurts someone...remember the leg-whip he did on TJD?

Ed Tom Bell: But I think once you quit hearing "sir" and "ma'am," the rest is soon to follow.

Justifiably so...Why would he do something like that? Was he aware of the situation?

First time I saw anything about Gibson and IU was in his autobiography, "From Ghetto to Glory" published in 1968. I read it when I was about 10 I'd guess.

I just came in here to see @rico's "postponed" Cubs flag...

I know Peachtree-Dekalb airport evacuated the tower cab for a while because of tornadoes...not a good place to be even with just high wind... It rained all day Saturday here, but we pushed it eastward...

My favorite, chicken tetrazzini, is in there...

There ya go! You're not a born Texan, are you? 😉

Gibson played at Creighton and averaged over 20 ppg for his 3 year career...

Anything with meat (not head cheese or any of the gross stuff) trumps a grilled cheese any day...

I spent a lot of time as a kid up near the pits trying to get autographs during qualifying. The nicest guys were Johnny Rutherford (he remembered my name), Gary Bettenhausen, and Jim Hurtabees...Bettenhausen took me through gasoline alley once... Mario Andretti was ok. Foyt was ok too, but a bit gruff. Bobby and Al Unser were both aloof...wouldn't sign anything the times I was around them. Parnelli Jones and Dan Gurney wouldn't even look at the kids hanging around...
