Auburn almost lost to San Jose State also. Isn't it fun that it isn't us for a change?   :naughty:

I am going to quibble on one though...I don't agree AT ALL that UF "should" have beaten UK.  They were favored but the Kats are no. 20 in the country and a lot better than they used to be.  I wouldn't call that a huge upset at all. I am doing this to take a shot at Florida, which I am always happy to do, but actually it's true.   :naughty:

Fair point on UK. But as an UT fan FL is always more of a threat

When is the last time UT and UK were both ranked in the AP when they played on the gridiron?  

It's a pretty amazing stat......

Hi Coupe!  Is Dan O'Shaunessy still at APL? I am trying to track down a MESSENGER paper he sent me almost 10 years ago.  Sent him an email, hope he responds. I haven't spoken to him since 2013.   :naughty:

Dan and I used to be good buddies, but I have not seem him in a while since MESSENGER ended.  I think I talked to him earlier this year, pretty sure he is still around.  I think he is working on a Titan or Europa mission now --- those are just starting to ramp up and Dan is pretty far up there in the org tree.

Just tell him James said hi.
