And Griffin Merritt is serving his two game suspension from his comments about an umpire while at Cincinnati. That’s our type of player right there 😂

So no Frank Anderson, Ahuna, or Merritt. Are there any others inactive tonight?

I see the Volunteers were wearing mostly the same style hat as me in their opener which was a road game.
My hat is made by New era, and has the checkerboards inside the state Tennessee on back.

View attachment 536962

I’m not going to panic or be depressed because Arizona outplayed Tennessee to win 3-1 because the Volunteers still have 2 other games they could win for the 2023 College Baseball opening weekend.

A better night for my Blackhawks because they did defeat the Senators 4-3 in Ottawa.
Most likely the Blackhawks finish as a last place team or not last place because the Coyotes are also awful , however I’m still very happy that they’re a team playing for their fans and playing for pride in what has been a terrible season.

Also most likely Alvin Kamara is going to Prison.
He is 1 of the greatest Vols RB, and I hate that a former great Vols RB will most likely be going to Prison because of being responsible for violently attacking a man that was not in self defense.
With a criminal trial, and visible evidence of him committing the crime it be very unlikely he could get an acquittal because of conclusive visible evidence.
This is mostly like a human saying Bomb while on an airplane. It’s not something a human can do legally.


Alvin Kamara likely played his last game in a New Orleans Saints uniform

RIP .... Kellie Pickler's husband has committed suicide. He was just 49 years old.

Kellie Pickler’s husband Kyle Jacobs dead at 49 after apparent suicide: police

This is very sad because same year Jason David Frank best known as Tommy Oliver the original Green Power Ranger committed suicide.

Persons that have high despair do arrive at the conclusion that suicide is an easy solution because any issues whether financial or not financial can’t continue if deceased.
