The Jayhawks will break out their all-black uniforms against the UNLV Rebels. The uniforms include throwback features such as a stylish circus font and the 1941 Jayhawks logo. This is the second time Kansas will wear the threads since unveiling them in the 2023 season, when the Jayhawks defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini 34-23.
Here are some of the cleanest combinations for Week 3 of college football:
Unique combos
UNLV haven’t missed yet with their uniforms, which they’ve sported in two big wins to begin the season. In the Rebels’ biggest test so far, they will wear scarlet and gray on the road against Kansas.

The Tennessee Volunteers have established themselves as early contenders for the national championship. During their season opener against the NC State Wolfpack, they wore their Smokey Grey alternate threads to save their primary look. The Volunteers will go all orange in their “orange britches” uniforms against the Kent State Golden Flashes.

Blackouts
The TCU Horned Frogs unveiled a trio of new uniforms over the summer, and one will shine this weekend against the UCF Knights. The Frogs will debut an all-black look, which appears slightly different from their threads the past couple of seasons.
In recent seasons, the Horned Frogs’ black look had a necklace pattern around the collar, but the new threads are plain. The jerseys also contain a “Carter Boys” patch on the back, serving as a tribute to Amon G. Carter Stadium.

Icy whites
UCF were members of the American Athletic Conference from 2013 until they joined Big 12 ahead of the 2023 season. Though they came up short in their Big 12 debut against the Kansas State Wildcats last season, a new year brings new opportunities. The Knights will wear a new all-white combination against TCU in their 2024 conference opener.

Watch Reese Chapman’s unbelievable catch for Tennessee baseball vs LSU
Tennessee baseball right fielder Reese Chapman made one of the most unbelievable catches of the season to rob LSU of a home run.
In the top of the fifth inning, LSU’s Steven Milam smoked a 1-1 pitch from Landon Mack to deep right field. Chapman sprinted toward the wall.
The ball was headed out of the ballpark when Chapman leaped, caught the ball and slammed into the wall. He held on to end the inning, triggering a wild celebration by Mack and the UT dugout.
It was a critical play for the Vols midway through Game 1 of their LSU series on April 3 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
“I don’t know if we’re going to see a better one than that, boys,” said ESPN analyst Chris Burke, a former Tennessee baseball player. “It’s not just the play that he made.. It’s the complete disregard for your own body.”
Chapman almost single-handedly put Tennessee in the driver’s seat. He not only robbed LSU of a home run in the fifth, he also hit a home run to put the Vols ahead.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Blake Grimmer blooped a single to left-center. Then Chapman pulled a 0-1 pitch over the right-field wall for a two-run homer. It was his third home run of the season, putting Tennessee ahead 3-1.

Americans would be ‘up at night worrying’ if they knew the truth about alien life, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett says
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said the American people would be “up at night worrying” if they knew what he’s been briefed on about extraterrestrial life.
“I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is. And, I’ll just say this, if they were to release the things that I’ve seen, you’d be up at night, worrying about, thinking about this stuff,” Burchett told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty on Wednesday.
Burchett — a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets — recalled that he was briefed two weeks ago “on an issue” about extraterrestrial life that “would have set the Earth” on fire and “unglued” the country if released.
“They would demand answers,” Burchett said without going into further detail.
When Finnerty played a clip of former Rep. Matt Gaetz alleging knowledge of alien-human hybrid breeding programs, Burchett stopped short of directly addressing the explosive claims.
“I’m still a member of Congress, so I can’t really comment too much on what Matt said,” Burchett told Finnerty.
“Wait, seriously?” Finnerty slightly pushed back.
“I’m being 100% serious,” Burchett replied.
Burchett said that he has advocated for “full disclosure” despite the potential impact the truth could have on the public.
“The public has a right to know, dadgummit, it’s your tax dollars. Let’s get it out there,” he said.
Burchett also said that the people handling these sensitive matters are at the heart of the issue.
“When I’m in a meeting, in a closed-door meeting, and I ask about the president’s points on these. And then I’m told by some arrogant, unelected bureaucrat that the president is on a need-to-know basis. I think that says everything it needs to be said about what’s going on,” he told Finnerty.
The congressman said he’s described the handling of sensitive information to President Trump as “layers of the onion,” with each peeled away revealing “another one underneath.”
“When I sit in a meeting, and some little punk with a man bun is sort of running the show, and you have decorated officer military officers in the meeting there that are basically unallowed to say anything, and you can read their faces,” he shared.
Burchett also weighed in on the alarming string of disappearances and deaths among the country’s top researchers in the field — including the mysterious disappearance of retired Air Force Gen. William McCasland in February and his former colleague, rocket scientist Monica Reza, eight months earlier.
“There are no coincidences in this town. These folks have disappeared or died mysteriously,” he said. “I think overall, I think there is a connection there. People just do not disappear … not in this day and age.”
“For the record, I’m not suicidal, and I don’t take risks,” he added.
Burchett’s remarks follow President Trump’s vow in February to direct the Pentagon and other agencies to release files on UFOs and “alien and extraterrestrial life” to the public.
“Based on the tremendous interest shown,” the president wrote, “I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.”
Since the president’s statement, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has registered the domains aliens.gov and alien.gov, according to People.

East Tennessee Foundation celebrates 40 years of service
BRISTOL, Tenn. (WCYB) — The East Tennessee Foundation celebrated 40 years of service across the region at Bristol Motor Speedway today.
The nonprofit community foundation led the way in long term recovery efforts in the wake of Helene’s destruction, creating and funding positions across Northeast Tennessee.
President & CEO Keith Barber says the organization is moving forward with the hopes to expand their philanthropy.
“The past 18 months have propelled us forward but so have the past 40 years,” he said. “As we look forward we take those experiences that we had – whether it’s the past 18 months or the past 40 years – and build upon them so that we’re better tomorrow than we were today.
The East Tennessee Foundation was also able to gift a $2,500 donation to the Speedway Children’s Charities.
