Kid Rock is Not The Guy to Trust!

 I feel with Aaron Lewis, what bothers me is Kid Rock is Not the Guy to Trust! Kid Rock would have had Waylon Jennings Talent and then some, but, instead of the Diabetes and Anger, its always Indifference and Apathy.

People would have hard feelings about the Worst Post-TNN Calendar (Since 1984) in Country Music. And, what TNN, or better yet, Gaylord helped, is make Country Music and Nashville Marketable to Families.

Think of this way, it would be a Bigger Version of the Chicago Radio Dial, First Thing in the Morning to the Last Thing at Night. I feel that the Industry Still Runs from Maren Morris as She Has a Lana Del Rayesque Aura, except, Radio Stations where more tired of putting her Music Everywhere more than Britney Spears.

I like Aaron Lewis's Work Ethic, but, I do not like his Choice of Words. Joe Rogan would be more of a Death Penalty for Public Opinion than that of Howard Stern, and he'd be living a Handsome 33 Million Dollars a Day for His Work, and he'd take being a Hermit or a Recluse to the Extreme.

What's Scarier is Country Music and Nashville would have to make Harder Cuts than the Grand Ole Opry at the Turn of the Millennium. Promoters do not like Beer Tosses, or Burnt Bridges at all.

08242025 College Football Poll

 For this Weeks College Football Poll, the Starting Line is Actual Conference Games, and Western Kentucky- Sam Houston State would be the Only and Less Publicized Conference Game on American Soil and Without Further Ado, here is my Poll.

1 Western Kentucky           1-0  1-0  8-30 North Alabama 13 +12

What I like around the Hilltoppers is that they'd win the Only Conference Game on American Soil This Weekend.

2 Iowa State                        1-0  1-0  8-30 South Dakota    NR

Iowa State enters the Poll with a Farmageddon Win over Kansas State. I would not like missing the Manhattan Round of the Rivalry for a Significant Amount of Time, but, Kansas State having their Quarterback's Family resort to Violence is a Problem which being Jilted by both TCU (Home Cooking) and Will Howard leaving Town to be a National Hero would anger up the Blood on the Purple Prairie as they are the Only 1980's Conference Member without an NCAA Championship anywhere in their House.

3 Hawaii                             0-0 2-0  8-30 Arizona         3

4 SMU                                0-0 1-0 8-30 East Texas A and M 2  -2

5 Tulsa                                 0-0 1-0 8-30 Abilene Christian 4 -1

6 Northern Illinois               0-0 0-0  8-30 Holy Cross      5  -1

7 Vanderbilt                          0-0 0-0 8-30 Charleston Southern 7

8 Iowa                                  0-0 0-0 8-30 Albany                    8

9 Notre Dame                             0-0 8-31 @ Miami (FL)       9

10 Georgia Southern          0-0  0-0  8-30 @ Fresno State     10

11 Kansas                           0-0 2-0 8-29 Wagner                    1  -10

12 UNLV                            0-0 1-0 8-30 @ Sam Houston     NR

13 Kennesaw State             0-0 0-0  8-29@ Wake Forest       6 -7

14 Louisville                       0-0 0-0  8-30 Eastern Kentucky  14

15 Washington State          0-0 0-0 8-30 Idaho                     16 +1

16 Louisiana                      0-0 0-0 8-30 Rice                       17 +1

17 Texas A and M             0-0 0-0 8-30 UTSA                   18 +1

18 Temple                         0-0 0-0  8-30 @ UMass            19 +1

19 Miami (OH)                0-0 0-0   8-28 @ Wisconsin      12 -7

20 Minnesota                   0-0 0-0     8-28 Buffalo             20

Dropped Out:

11 Texas Tech

15 Colorado State

And in closing, here are Some of my Other Callouts:

1. Michigan State is not the "Big Money, Little Results" Champion, but, they'd have a Worse Habit of "Big Money, Bigger Litigation" Champion.

2. Stanford is the Worst Money that I could ever remember and

3. USC's Last 3 Full Time Head Coaches (Kiffin, Sarkisian, and Helton) have been Midseason Replacements, which Cheapens the Luster of not only USC, but, USC-Notre Dame.

2026 Stock Car Challenge Slate

 Without further ado, here is my 2026 Stock Car Challenge Slate and the M's are Remarked as Majors and my Methodology is wanting to do a Lucas Oil Styled Crown Jewel Series.

1 M 2-15 Daytona 500

2 3-29 Martinsville

3 4-4 Hickory I'd keep Hickory around for Busch Grand National Reasons

4 M 4-7 Long Beach I am Big Hurt that the Cup Series is not doing Los Angeles

6 4-26 Talladega

7 5-3 Texas

8 5-10 Watkins Glen I doubt anyone in New York State would like to be ripped from their Post

9 M 5-17 All Star Race Dover I'd rather the All Star is Back in Charlotte

10 5-24 Coca Cola 600

11 6-21 San Diego The only good thing about this is the Trucks get to go back to their Home Southern California Turf.

12 M 6-28 Sonoma

13 7-19 North Wilkesboro Way too many 2-3 Year Venues on the Slate

14 7-21 Eldora I would start my Road to the Brickyard 400 with Eldora

15 7-22 Winchester Reinforcing the USAC 2-2-2

16 7-23 Anderson One of the Toughest Venues in Sports

I will bring up Pit Crew Competitions and Other Points Remarks at another time and place.

Sports History Should Be Preserved

 With today being the Day where the North Stars in kind Retired Numbers Meet (8 and 19) and the Reason Why Minnesota Coaches don't like issuing any 8 or 19 on Ice, I would feel Sports History Should Be Preserved.

I don't mean everything, but I feel that it should be Preserved and Honored. I don't think anything would be done Politically Currently, as Plenty of Nothing would be the Expectation.

What I would not like is having to Pull Teeth on why Houston Oilers History should be Repatriated, especially when the Luv Ya Blues are in Ill Health.

And, the people that made Grambling Grambling Can't Go Anywhere. I would not like Capos or Impersonators running amok, as Social Media has weeded out the Screening Process or Processes.

The Zero Tolerance Policy Report

 I would scream that it would be a Solid Year Without Agent Zero, Scott Bloomquist, and in Dirt Late Model Racing, we'd have 3 Whole Career and Life Defining Suspensions (Taylor Farling, Bob Gardner and Cade Dillard) and nobody has tried to check the Car Counts from Beginning, Middle and End.

Where Dirt Late Model Racing is Lost Without Agent Zero is having no Commander to Hold People Accountable. The East Tennessee Tracks would have a Better Policy and or Policies on Fighting or Other Arrests because they where tired of their Names being Drug in the News and Newspapers, among other places.

I would rather take someone from Lucas Oil to Cup, but, that would be a Longshot in Both Worlds. Where the World of Outlaws has lost their Ever Lovin' Mind is trusting Hulk Hogan before he Died, and the World Racing Group hasn't had a Good Track with Long Term Sponsors.

That would hurt the Dirt Late Model field, which the ASA's Revival would lap them, where for a Long Time, it was Out of Sight, Out of Mind except for the Courts. And, Spencer Hughes's Legal Problems would be a Serious Uninsurable if he's Not Guilty.

I feel not having the Deerys would dim Dirt Racing in Eastern Iowa, which that would be the Only thing anyone in Eastern Iowa would agree on.
