The Clemson Tigers snapped the perfect season for the Louisville Cardinals during a fierce finish where UofL was positioned to win. With less than :30 remaining, UofL receiver James Quick came up one yard short of a first down near the goal line. Clemson took a knee to run out the clock and remain undefeated, moving to 5-0. Louisville falls to 4-1 and trails Clemson in the A.C.C. You know the Beasman is loving every minute of Louisville's hiccup. THE BEASMAN loserville loses to Clemson (laffs hysterically) I LOVVVVVVVVVE IT! THANK YOU, CLEMSON! ALL US GOOD & CLASSY WILDCAT FANS LOVE US SOME CLEMSON TIGERS FOR PUTTING A STOP TO U OF SMELL’S PERFECT SEASON.

Daily media manipulation: it’s what we do
Enough with the claims of objectivity. Ad placement above attack stories for the ad buyer's opponent are commonplace in today's crusading media climate. The New York Times will occasionally post a hazily negative story on Hillary but they're soft, sweet, and supportive of her 95% of the time. The rare conservative columnists pretend to be surprised. Ubiquitous liberal media outlets scoff at the notion, claiming only that candidate Donald Trump received excessive coverage because he is an interesting story. Blogger, please. As for expanding media ineptitude, look in any direction. The erosion of the business model continues as consumers self-publish their own skewed "news." Allegedly? I viewed the tape. More like "absolutely threatens judge" #media #accuracy #journalism The definition of allegedly: (adverb) "used to
Oh Nole you didn’t!
The University of Louisville Cardinals football team blasted #2 ranked Florida State in one of Louisville's biggest victories ever. It will move the #10 Cardinals closer to the top of the rankings and solidifies its presence as an ACC football power. The new AP Poll bounced Louisville up to #3 behind Alabama and Ohio State. Watch the entire game in 25 minutes (two videos). Now Louisville is part of the national championship playoff conversation. Special helmet stickers honored Louisville's beloved son Muhammad Ali, who passed away in June. Our family was in Cardinal heaven. UofL dominated the entire game. ESPN's College GameDay show originated from the game. Students lined up starting at 4 am for the nine o'clock show. It
Best co-pilot ever
Lots of people will cite the phrase GOD IS MY CO-PILOT but in this case, lots of brilliant engineers get some credit! The video shows the incredible avionics view of an Arizona Air National Guard F-16 recovering itself by autopilot after the pilot loses consciousness. Thank you, technology! And then there is the matter of inept air race takeoff rolls:
Ruh roh! Call the Scooby Van!
ALTERNATE HEADLINE: pneumonia-stricken grandmother breathes on random child A gaggle of reporters two hours after Hillary Clinton stumbled and fainted even as her aides held her arms: "Mrs. Clinton, what happened?" Hillary: "It's a great day in New York!" The muted response out of rival Donald Trump: "I hope she gets well soon." We all know Hillary Clinton fell and hit her head in 2012, leaving a host of complications that her doctors claimed have all cleared. She's healthy, they tell us. Internet sleuths are trying to foist the notion that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is a puppet being dragged around by nefarious "handlers" directed by a higher order. Whatevs. Hillary clearly has some medical issues. Her staggering, weak-kneed faint while
Rated PG: We are a team, right?
Some people believe in selective segregation. There are times when they want to be fully vested Americans afforded all of its freedoms, and times when they want to be considered a special separate class that demands nuanced, preferential considerations. See: white supremacists, militant feminist causes, the Congressional Black Caucus, anti-government groups, and many more. That Latin phrase on currency reads: e pluribus unum -- from many, one (unless there is an advantage to boost just a portion of the pluribus, then to hell with the one). If anyone complains about a selective segregationist attitude, they are usually met with a flurry of outrage from SJW, self-proclaimed pure hearted Social Justice Warriors. (The very people who claim they "don't judge people"
Why Joe the Plumber will never be on the UofL or UK board of trustees
Kentucky is more than just horse puckey, bourbon, and gauche McMansions. It's a political favors playground! There's unaccounted money flying all over the place. The laws of Kentucky matter and must be followed, even when individuals, corporations or lower court judges think otherwise.— Governor Matt Bevin (@GovMattBevin) August 25, 2016 Depends on which horse you back. People who ponied up $$$ to help previous governors have been awarded plum posts. The Commonwealth is drowning in incessant squabbling over who has the authority to dismiss or staff boards of trustees at its public universities. Some think the University of Louisville's accreditation could be in jeopardy. The "old" University of Louisville board of trustees just met as the newly appointed board sits
LGBTQ supporter vs dairy farmer: Are haircut prices discrimination?
At this year's Kentucky State Fair, an LGBTQ supporter spoke with a dairy farmer attending the Kentucky Farm Bureau's championship ham breakfast. Seems benign. KFB's anti-gay marriage stance is out of step with the law, but this quirky exchange (at 3:25 on the video) quickly swerved to the price of haircuts. Alrighty then. $600,000 was raised for charity in the ham auction. No heathen haircuts were administered. Our work is done! We are only left to assume that the dairy farmer was referring to his own haircut and not the price of grooming a cow.
Comedy in the culture of apology
Millennial: "I don't judge people." Me: "You lock your door, don't you?" Millennial: "Yes." Me: "Then you're judging people, dipstick." Of course locking your door doesn't make you judgmental. It's a joke about sound judgment related to known threats in society, the same judgment needed to select your kid's school and the neighborhood you call home. Is comedy dead in a perpetually aggrieved society? Nope. It's just limited to self-deprecation or vilification of oppressive white dudes. The very black Chris Rock isn't allowed to excoriate faulty African Americans any longer. This brilliant comedy piece is 20 years old. Another masterful bit from Rock is entitled How to Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police. Today's #BlackLivesMatter hypersensitivity keeps Rock from doing this type of
Former superstar Dick Van Dyke reduced to eating at Denny’s
Big time movie star Dick Van Dyke is now singing for his supper at Denny's. Ever since Laurie Petry ran off with Beaver Cleaver, Mr. Van Dyke has been forced to hang with a quartet of singer boys in white shirts. The first sign of Mr. Van Dyke's dementia came in February when he began electioneering for socialist Bernie Sanders, a working class hero who recently purchased his third home (priced more than his net worth). Let me off here, bus driver! Bert done gone bye, bye, birdie!
