This is our yearly “guys weekend” trip. Never been to Gainesville before. We’re flying into Jacksonville and will get a rental and drive over. So we can be mobile.

We will hit the home teams version of Northgate one evening. Any specific bars to go to?

We fly on Thursday and will have the day on Friday to do whatever. Anything AY would recommend?

What's a great restaurant in town. We normally hit one "upscale" place each trip. Any suggestions?

It's early in the season and this trip snuck up on us a bit. We don't have any definite plans outside of the game. Let me know if there was a great stop you made in years past.

Any Vets on AggieYell who have experience with canine carcinoma?
Our son's dog was diagnosed with this disease in one of the dog's nostrils. He is going to proceed with radiation therapy regardless of the cost to extend the dog's life. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have. e.g., chemotherapy.
He lives in Colorado, not all that far from BCS if the Vet School presents some opportunities

Said the team handled McNeese in a "professional way" and got it out of hand early.
Says Moss "made the strides we wanted to" and thinks he'll continue to improve this season.
Likes what Rylan Kennedy is doing on the pass rush side.
Says UF has two very talented QBs with very different skill sets, so they'll have to prepare for both.
Calls Eugene Wilson one of the best receivers in the conference and that their receivers are the best A&M has played so far.
Says their defensive line is very talented, and that it's definitely an SEC defense.

Says there are a lot of things where you can say for sure that A&M improved week to week, McNeese or not.
Calls the run defense "terrible...it's not what you want." Says the first team handled the run last week, but 185 to McNeese is still a problem.
Started preparing the team for road games back in the spring.
When it comes to prepping for Lagway, they're looking at high school film as well as what he's done in the first two games.
Says Amari Daniels has always been a good ballcarrier, but has been challenged to improve other areas including pass blocking -- which he did well this past weekend. "It gives us confidence to put him out there every down, not just when you want to give him the ball."

Asked about Jimbo's idea of leaving Thursday, he said, "I don't have any thoughts on that. We'll leave on Friday."

Says TJ Shanahan was suspended immediately, pending internal review.
Says Jabre Barber is still a couple weeks away from being 100%, with the goal being the Arkansas game.
Very complimentary of Terry Bussey's decision making on punt returns, that he's making mature decisions.
Thinks that some of the problems with the run defense is still getting acclimated to the scheme, but won't point the finger at anyone. Says it's a full defense issue.
Says he's been happier with the pass rush than the stats would lead you to believe. Says they got pressure on Leonard and Sixkiller. "We're pressuring the quarterback. The sacks will come. The run fits and the run structure is what we have to work on."

A ton of interesting stories in the book and my thoughts on many of them:

Sober Thoughts.

No?

Sanders throwing his OLine under the bus. I hope they go ooooo-le a few times for him next week!

I have a friend who has a sign be puts up every week for the aggie games and is looking for some funny ideas each week to put on the sign. Let me know if you guys have anything creative this week.

From the Denver Post:

The [CU] fight song doesn’t even play in the stadium after the quarterback throws a touchdown. Deion Sanders told the band they couldn’t play if his son Shedeur Sanders scores a touchdown so that the loudspeaker can play a recording of his son’s song “Perfect Timing.”

Thunderstorms and windy are the forecast

Darth Vader

The Cosm

Looks like an interesting place to catch a game. Maybe like a mini sphere? Thinking about catching a game there this season

What are you bartender types using as a yellow chartreuse sub other than strega or galliano?

When is NFL starting exactly?

Endorses Kamala Harris. Is this good news for her or bad? I am torn....

He is the epitome of the deep state and architected the middle east conflagration we have right now, but his endorsement has to cause folks like @KeithDB to pause right?

Is this sort of like Putin endorsing Kamala?

Feels like it to me.

Who's Kentucky team lost to S. Carolina 31-6.

They were a 9.5 favorite going in.

Haven't watched it yet, but they're usually pretty good.

A few notes:
I've never seen a lineman score as high as Bisontis.
The starting defensive linemen didn't play more than 16 snaps. Scourton played 14. Turner and Howell played 10. Stewart played 15. They weren't pulling guys in the first half, they were pulling them in the first quarter.
