Extra Ohio authorities information:
FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — Authorities across Kentucky are investigating after Ku Klux Klan (KKK) propaganda was found in several cities of the Bluegrass, including Lexington.
Midway Mayor Grayson Vandegrift announced on Oct. 22 that hundreds of the racist flyers had been scattered downtown, in neighborhoods, and even at a local school.
Vandegrift called the flyers- spreading hateful messages toward people of color – disturbing and completely out of line with Midway’s values.
Investigators asked anyone with information to come forward. Around 6 p.m. on Thursday, the Versailles Police Department posted on Facebook, announcing to community members that officers stood firmly against racism and discrimination in all forms.
“We remain committed to respecting and protecting the safety, rights, and dignity of all people,” Versailles officers wrote.
Gov. Andy Beshear posted on social media Thursday after learning about the racist propaganda to condemn the acts of spreading hate.
“These messages have no place in Kentucky,” Beshear wrote. “Our commonwealth is a place where we lead with love, and we will not tolerate hate.”
The Tennessee Volunteers are one of the many teams that have the opportunity to make the college football playoffs, still, as they will need to win out for the remainder of this season. They ave a tall task ahead of them with the teams like the Florida Gators, Oklahoma Sooners, and Vanderbilt Commodores ahead of them.
The Tennessee Volunteers are set to take on the Kentucky Wildcats first and one of their toughest games that remain on the schedule, not based off the team that they are playing, but based off of how they play against them. It is safe to say that the Kentucky Wildcats can’t stand the thought of Tennessee, but the same goes for the Tennessee Vols as they cannot stand the thought of the Kentucky Wildcats and their fan base.
There are multiple injuries that the Tennessee program will have to move past as they won’t be having some of their players play in this one, which comes with expectations, as this has been one of the most banged-up teams in the nation. One of the players that made the injury report was Rickey Gibson (as expected).
The Tennessee defensive back will be out yet again, as he has only played in one game this season. That game is the season opener against the Syracuse Orange. The Tennessee Vols will be looking to return their DB, but as of now, it is uncertain that he will find his way back on the field. While he may not play in this one, he may find his way back, but that will depend on how fast he can heal. The odds seem to point at the fact that he may not return, and if he does, it will likely be later this season. There is a chance that the Vols don’t have him or Jermod McCoy for the rest of the season.
The Vols will hope to win this game, although nothing is for certain in this league. The Vols are the favorites, and a win here will put them in the best mind space when it comes to their biggest remaining home game when they play against the Oklahoma Sooners, who have one loss and one loss only at this time.
A win here will solidify a bowl game for the Vols, which is a bowl game in every season under head coach Josh Heupel.
The Tennessee Volunteers (5-2,2-2) will travel north to face the Kentucky Wildcats (2-4,0-4) for what could be a slugfest Saturday night.
This has potential to be closer than the records would indicate as the Vols have had their fair share of struggles on the road, while the Wildcats take advantage of home field as they did last week.
Last Week:
Tennessee fell at Alabama 37-20
Kentucky fell at home to Texas 16-13 in OT. (No one was anticipating that)
Both teams will have injuries and obstacles to overcome, but the game itself is important for both programs moving forwards.
Kentucky Wildcats
The Cats are winless in the conference thus far but are looking to catch the Vols reeling after a loss in Tuscaloosa. Kentucky has been a working progress all season long and has shown signs of life in various contests but have yet to fully get to a consistent level.
Tennessee Volunteers
The Vols could come into this game with a huge chip on their shoulders. Tennessee was a few plays away last week from a different outcome, and if the Vols play to their potential, they could make this a difficult night for the home team.
Tennessee will have a couple of players or more that are assumed to be out this week, A pair of starting defensive back have been out essentially all season with upper body inuries. One has had several speculations about a possible return, although no concrete timeline has been given.
Kentucky had a list of players banged up last week and could be without a few players this week as well. Running back Seth McGowan was injured during the game with Texas last week. McGowan left for the hospital and returned to the game.
The Cats had 7 (1-suspension) players total that did not participate in the overtime game.
Here is the mid-week injury report for Tennessee vs. Alabama.
