Jeong is the latest of many to take up residence at The Afterparty season 2. But while most of the new cast members were all announced at once, it seems as though he was deemed important enough to get his own specific proclamation.

Then, the referee tried to help Snell up and he wasn’t having it — fair enough. Except, the referee threw a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct and ejected him from the game. The Wildcats trailed 10-7 and had driven inside Northwestern territory before Snell’s ejection. The penalty set them back 10 yards and the drive ended with a punt. Snell will be a big loss for Kentucky the rest of the game: he is the Wildcats’ starter and has rushed for 1318 yards this season and with 18 touchdowns....
