Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

So I Talked To Ken Rucker Tonight

he said we were gonna 'get it done' tomorrow.

I'm stationed here at Ft Meade, MD and I ran into this guy at the bowling alley (the only 'bar' on post) that made a positive comment on my Longhorns hoody.  he exclaims, 'Ken Rucker's my uncle; you know who that is!?'  I reply, 'sure I do; how's he doing these days?'  (meaning healthwise) 

he was drunk/thought I was discounting him apparently.....

Got 'Uncle Ken' on the phone and handed it to me.  I told him (quickly) I thought he's done a great job for TX football thus far, he was liked amongst the fan/blogger community, as well as the coaches (like he didn't know..), and that he's a great guy for the Program.  Mack wouldn't assign someone to a prominent recruiting post that wasn't of the utmost character.  He appreciated it; genuinely.

Said 'tell your friends 'thanks.'  And to 'enjoy the game.'

I will, Ken. 

Thank YOU!

interesting and different post

I lived briefly at Fort Meade way back when; pretty location and some of my best memories of growing up came from there.
