Madisonville needs to hold one of these. It sounds great.
Notes Eric Crawford of The Courier-Journal: "The Bluegrass is home to three of the 15 lowest-scoring teams in FBS — WKU at No. 106, U of L at 111 and UK at 118." Murray State, meanwhile, for the second year in a row got a big, comeback win on homecoming.

Honestly, for my money, they buried the lede here. The story is that the Christmas toy inventories are being rolled out.
I've enjoyed following the buildup to the Prestonsburg High School majorettes reunion, and I'm glad things went so well Friday night. But I do want to suggest that for those of you who are angry about the loss of "a simpler time ... that many thought they would never see again," ... well, your anger is appropriately directed at Lee Remick, Elia Kazan, Andy Griffith and Packard's own Patricia Neal (surely a knowing accomplice). After A Face in the Crowd in 1957, it was only a matter of time before schools were going to have to stop trotting out flexible teen-aged girls in sparkly leotards to play around with batons.
I believe "A Face in the Crowd" may be the best movie ever made about American politics.
