This and That

Week of October 18, 2021

Each week I’ll write about the world of sports:

• The Baltimore Ravens were challenged last week. They were impressive in a win over the Chargers.

• Oklahoma State’s stock continues to rise after rallying from a 24-13 deficit to beat Texas. The Longhorn stock is going don.

• LSU needed a win for coach Ed Oregeron and they got one over Florida. Tyion Davis-Pryce had an incredible game with 287 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Despite the W, it appears that Oregeron will be looking for a job after the season.

• Had a blast with super PTPer Chris Fowler on his podcast. Please check it out. We have been close buddies for decades and he always supports my goal to help kids battling cancer.

• Juwan Howard strikes again in recruiting. He had a big of luck edge, guess why? Jett Howard is a Wolverine and he is Juwan’s son. Michigan continues going uptown.
