Haiti drove all the white people out, and at the same time exterminated any offspring that had white blood.
France HAD HAD a very productive country, the richest in ag output of any country in the Caribbean.
There may still be productive soils there, but after Poppa Doc and Baby Doc and even with the advise of Bill Clinton and Bush Sr. and the money they raised.... whatever happened to that money, anyway?

Derek Dooley to Tennessee after 17-20 at LaTech is up there.


Jimmy Sexton, aka multimillionaire Jimmy Sexton, had delivered Kiffin, and then Dooley. How did he do this? Tennessee's AD was a bean counter and also had Sexton as his manager and svengali.

From TN, the AD went to Nashville where he had a charity digging wells in Africa. (Did Sexton arrange that, too?)

one of the bigger brands to jump


Isn't that what Notre Dame does?

Isn't that what Texas tried to do with its own network? Does any Texas fan able to explain why the Texas broadcasts didn't have their market with millions of fans and fan dollars? Or did their time of leaving happen too soon?

Having your own shooting range is expensive my friend


Or:
We live on acreage we bought in east Tennessee.
We are on a hill and we have several sinkholes and a bluff overlooking the Holston River and the flat land between it and the river.
Shooting ranges are hillsides we can shoot into (with neighbors who don't consider rifle fire to be anything unusual because most are hunters for food.
We even had some kin folk, one totally restricted movement wise to a wheel chair, and we found a place he could learn to shoot a gun. His first time and the smile on his face.

We can take wild turkey and deer on our property and we have.
After seeing three Peytons in a row on Saturday followed by several Nick Sabans, and then the grinning black guy whose name I don't know, I wondered:
Do the stars get paid every time each commercial is shown?

I did like something that happened this summer: it might have been a Nissan Heisman thing, but it first appeared with just the guys and cars, and about two weeks later, the guys' names were added. Somebody paying the bills must have asked "Who dat?"
And ESPN gets a monopoly.

Didn't that used to be illegal?
You may be too young to remember when Christmas lights were family heirlooms. Bulbs (not the puny things of today) were easily replaces, wires that broke were even repairable.
But cheap imports.......you know the rest
And some Sam's Club locales give you a bottle of ice cold water with purchase in summer.
OK, there were two? One with LK in a long sleeved shirt with a visor,

the other with him in a non-logo Tshirt , no visor and you could see his face look more aged.

Or did the search engine ignore the day I asked for?
Dude was looking rough all the times yesterday the camera showed him. I wondered what he had to say after the fans left the stadium with the game still happening? Or if someone duct taped his mouth shut?
More morning daylight is not guaranteed.
Post October days seem to be dominated by five hours of dense fog, so daylight burns it off an hour or less before noon.

It's 8 a.m. local time and the fog is so dense that it's dark enough that the pets have not awakened and demanded breakfast.
So how the heck do you score an average 0.8 points a game?
The 2.4 minutes I can understand (and feel sorry for the stat keeper), but
one point or even two points divided by how many games to get that 0.8? Even one successful 3 point heft?

Only black QBs allowed in Baltimore apparently


Given the makeup of the city, QB on the street is less likely to be mugged or worse.
All those demographics change in the stadium, but the fans migrated out of the city but return to cheer for the team. (Not the one in Indianapolis)
The soccer injury that happened a day or two earlier that ended as a fatality was barely one frame in the replay.
There are parts of the human body that are more fragile than we want to know. And this should scare us.
How to keep the older Supreme Court Justices healthy?
Registering is one thing, but who gets the money when the bread winner dies. Do the multiple partners split the Social Security / Pension/ physical property?
How about taxes, does each in a foursome get to take three additional spouse deductions? Or is it just a very big family with lots and lots of deductions?
Each get all the others' birthdays off from work?
You think it's hard shopping for the perfect Christmas present for one? How about three with absolute equality of care and $$$ for the others?
First saw this on the ESPN site

Reading what Jack Campbell wrote (or more likely dictated) makes it simply great news.

Just wonderful.

re: Deion Sanders trajectory at CU

Posted by real turf fan on 11/3/26 at 6:11 pm to
Speaking of the Sanders and their getting individual paychecks, is Shedeur still with Cleveland?
Has anyone asked Jimmy Sexton (boo, hiss) if he has a replacement?

I don't know who is the Seton equivalent for South Carolina and Clemson, but I know Sexton was one hell-inspired puppet master affecting Tennessee with the HD, the AD and Kiffin in his stable of people. He also did some maneuvering with Tuberville, IIRC.

Who are the people Dabo pays to advise him on this sort of thing (and who wrote those money drainng contracts?)
Barely a sport news this is a women's basketball team that might have the potential to attract a per cent of a major market.

Does the police substation have a working camera security system to protect them from their, how to say this?, constituents who are having a bad day?
