Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference. It's true that you might not be able to cure the ills of the world, but you can, quite easily in fact, make a huge, positive difference in the life of a cat. Best of all--you reap the rewards too.

Those who have watched and studied LSU carefully over the first few years of Brian Kelly's tenure, have seen the immense growth of this offense in the process. There is not a single position on that side of the ball you could look at and not be excited by the current pieces in the rotation and the incoming players to the program that will continue to keep this offense moving in a positive direction.

Like any football team in 2024, Texas Tech has several players whose performance will be particularly critical to the squad's success. These players, whether by virtue of experience, leadership, importance of the position played, depth concerns, or sheer talent, are especially crucial. They may or not be the best players on the club, but they would be very conspicuous were they to be absent for any reason. In fact, that may be the best way to conceive of the critical players—they are the performers the team could least afford to lose.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone.
