This was basically the view we had in 1998 for Bulls-Hawks at the Georgia Dome.
Parents drove us to Atlanta for the game, stayed one night in a very questionable motel, and drove back to Kansas the next day.

I grew up in the one green county in Kansas and this is pretty accurate.
Cherokee County is a wonderful combination of Southern and Midwestern influences.

This album is 17 songs and it still leaves you wanting more.
What a masterpiece from Willi Carlisle.

Mahomes has to do everything for these receivers.
They don't know where to go. They slow down on routes.
Allen should have caught that for a TD
Back when I only knew him from the band Sunday Valley, I never thought I'd see Sturgill playing a packed State Farm Arena under the name Johnny Blue Skies.
But here we are.
What a damn show tonight in Atlanta.

Here’s just a taste of how raucous the Atlanta Dream crowd has been tonight. Been bumping all game long.
Can’t stress enough that this is why all WNBA teams gotta be playing in real arenas. It’s been an awesome, Finals-worthy atmosphere tonight.
Hell yes.
Take note, MLB.
Go Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks announced that Prime Video will serve as their new streaming home for the 2026-27 season.
That means all local games (non-national exclusive) are available to stream for IN-MARKET fans with a Prime membership, with no additional subscription required.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.
A.) Texas is never back
B.) Can't wait for Oklahoma, who lost to Michigan and scored 14 points against New Mexico, to be ranked after this

Oh my. I thought Thornton was laying down to do a celebration.
No, his ankle was grotesquely broken.
