Texas vs. Oklahoma

The Allstate Red River Rivalry game will continue to be played at the historic Cotton Bowl until 2036. The stadium will undergo at least $200 million in renovations.

Of course, this game is played during the Texas State Fair. The nearby neighborhood is not the greatest but this is a positive step for "traditionalists" like me.

Outside of the Florida/Georgia "Cocktail Party" in Jacksonville, the Arkansas/A&M game at JerryWorld, and the Army/Navy game, I can't think of any other annual games played at neutral sites. Can you?

The Iron Bowl left Birmingham many years ago as did the Egg Bowl in Jackson. One wonders if either city could have retained these games with significant "pot sweeteners".

Snapshot of the problem….

in high school recruiting.

From Neal’s notes this morning.

Lacy, our top RB target: no better than 50-50 even though we were on him a long time ago and thought he was going to flip when he de-committed from Nebraska

Caleb Odom: we were on him first, then Alabama offers and he commits there. Kiffin paid personal attention to him recently, but apparently to no avail

Charleston Collins: committed to Arkansas but was projected by several analysts to flip to us a few weeks ago; now sounds like 50-50 at best, even with Arkansas’s problems

Braylon Burnside: widely expected to flip a few weeks ago and now expected to stay with MSU

4 elite recruits that we really should have, but don’t….and we may not get any of them, in the end

Not closing the deals.

Fire away🤷‍♂️

Deer hunters

I’ll start yea….a bit of a humble brag….

I have a farm in Hickman County TN that I have owned for 2 years. I am committed to seeing just how big they can get here with unlimited food and age. My goal is a property that I can share with others and have them see lots of deer and harvest better deer

I have 4 legit shooters on the place this year - all 5.5 yrs old or older. The largest is a 160s 11 pt.

I have a wife that just started hunting last year and a few nephews. I put together a buck file for them this year with what I knew about history etc. I was committed I wasn’t going to shoot one of the bigger deer until they all had a chance to hunt. Went so far as to tell them my goal was to pass on all of the shooters and have pics to document it before they came to hunt.

Well, I just met my goal when I let the 11pt eat in front of me for a good 15 minutes. Being a MS boy I didn’t know if I would have it in me to let him go, but I did and never got too excited. I now get to trash talk nephews…….
