Yellow Jacket Insider

Bad news: GT offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner is leaving the Flats and becoming the new offensive coordinator for the Florida Gators. Rumors on social media that backup QB Philo and WR Stockton will be transferring from Tech. I can see following a good coach, but when you’re pretty much guaranteed the starting job next year at Tech, and probably gonna make decent NIL money, not sure I would be transferring.

A few days ago I was reading what a self described “GT expert” was saying about the GT OC. He saif Faulkner didn’t want to be a head coach, that he was happy here at GT as offensive coordinator. That GT had recently given him a raise. I read what Lang said about getting him to Memphis. But the Florida move is supposedly a done deal (was it in your morning paper?) – so I doubt he’ll take the head job at Memphis. I had heard the Memphis rumors about the Kennesaw coach. Didn’t realize the Kennesaw coach was from Memphis.

On Saturday mornings in the fall, ESPN College GameDay is must see TV, but I have to admit that I’ve been tuning in to Marty & McGee during the 9 am hour. This weekend’s slate of football games...

700 Friday Kennesaw State @ Jacksonville State

730 Friday 12-1 Marist @ 10-2 Benedictine (state semifinal)

800 Friday North Texas @ Tulane

1200 Saturday BYU vs Texas Tech

400 Saturday UGA vs Alabama

800 Saturday Duke vs Virginia

800 Saturday Ohio State vs Indiana

100 Sunday Seahawks @ Falcons

820 Sunday Texans @ Chiefs

815 Monday Eagles @ Chargers

Waiting until after this weekend’s games are played to compute my Heisman vote. I’ll share my pick next week. 

ALBERT PUJOLS  [SABR Bio] played more games than any other player born in the Dominican Republic: 3080 – 5th all-time, one behind Rickey Henderson. Only Pujols and Ray Jablonski drove in more than 100 runs in their rookie seasons for the Cardinals. Jablonski had a career-high 112 RBI in 1953, hitting behind Hall of Famers Red Schoendienst, Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter. Pujols had 130 in 2001, but had 14 seasons with 100+ RBI. Pujols got his 3000th career hit on a broken-bat single. His 3,000th was in Seattle on 04-May-2018.

Pet peeve; when someone sneezes, some people can make a show of saying “bless you”, making it more about themselves than the person who sneezed. That might just be me. Kinda like when someone shares something (like your suffering) and instead of having empathy the other person makes it about themselves (like I so often do). I hate it when I do that.

I took one multivitamin at 5 pm and another just before bed. I think the magnesium helped me sleep better. Need to continue that practice. I really need to make an eyedoctor appt but I haven’t been motivated. Lots of little odds and ends I need to work on.
