Red Sox ball caps dotted the sea of fancy hats Saturday. And many joined in when the people running the public address system played the Fenway Park sing-along "Sweet Caroline."

But there is this: Texas at Kentucky. And this: Florida at Kansas. And maybe this: Arkansas at Iowa State. So the existence of another of these conference challenge series at least adds three compelling games to the 2014-15 college basketball schedule, and it enhances a Kentucky schedule that could be extraordinarily difficult. Even with a team that probably will earn a No. 1 ranking in the wire-service polls, UK won't be talking much about 40-0 this time around....

Start with the widely believed notion that American companies are ferociously shifting jobs abroad. This is an exaggeration. Of course, some jobs have been lost as a result of the growing trade deficit, now roughly $500 billion.

Bonedogs are somewhat monstrous canines that rove the wilds of Kenshi in packs, preying upon unsuspecting animals (to say nothing of unsuspecting players).
