The UK based football team is scheduled to lock horns with Vanderbilt on the 14^thof November at 4p.m. a date that was confirmed on Monday.

The SEC Network has been accorded the privilege of airing live coverage of the football game. On the other hand, the SEC Network Plus will stream live the basketball game. This is the exclusive and one of a kind option that will be incorporated during the Monday’s showdown as the team comes head to head with Ottawa.

This days is a historical day to be remembered as it marks the very first time that Kentucky and the New Jersey Institute of Technology come head on. It forms an enticing moments as the two teams will have the chance to prove that they are worth to be ahead of their opponents.

However, Kentucky playing at home will have an extra advantage and will be boosted by their last outstanding 117-58 thrashing they showcased on Monday. The team achieved this despite having injury concern to its top main man Poythress who according to Coach John Calipara is 80% fit.

The Houston Texas have decided to do away with one of their own Ryan Mallett and decided to end his contract instantly. Mallet has been a fan of lateness for training and even games. Lately, he missed the team’s charter flight for the game with a traffic excuse which would later be claimed to be a stale excuse. He was at one time late for training and claimed that it was his clock that had broken.However, the team decided not to condone his excuses and eradicate him from the team on Tuesday.

However, his released has a backup as NFL media reporter Rand Getlin claimed that the Texans has incorporated T.J. Yates in their squad. Yates has been finding his footing in the Texans play and had been in the starting lineup for their last two preseason victories. He provides a good cover for Brian Hoyer who is out for the rest of the season.

Nonetheless, Mallett may not be missed much by the team and fans. Texans signed the former New England Patriot as a free agent last season. He only started in two games in the 2014 season and later suffered a pectoral muscle injury. On his return, he couldn’t displace Brian Hoyer in the starting lineup. He however started in his team’sunappealing loss to Kansas City in week 1.

Ironically, he was at the starting berth for the team in four occasions only and portrayed a worse start in the entire league. The team heads were fed up with him and his last blow was when he missed the team’s flight on Saturday.

According to the Houston Chronicles, Mallett was to be released over the weekend by O’Brien only for general manager Rick Smith to prevent this having in mind that the team had only Hoyer as the lone quarterback during the Sunday’s game in Miami where the team was trailing 41-0 by half time.

Mallett now is a free agent. It is yet to be enticing to see if another team will offer him a chance to redeem himself after a boring time with the Texans. Nonetheless, he will have to wait until the preseason until he acquires a job.

Sophie Doyle has claimed a call up in the British Girls jockey team to take part in the Shegar Cup at the expense of Harley Turner who the ASCOT claims that it had no intention of snubbing. Turner claimed that she wept when she learned from her agent Guy Jewell that she would not take part in the annual event after making it eight consecutive appearances. Her replacer Doyle will be a new kid in the team led by skipper Emma-Jayne Wilson and also boosts the return of star Sammy Jo Bell after injury kept Cathy Gannon out.

Nick Smith the head of communication at ASCOT claimed that a team comprises three slots from which there must be new faces as well as experienced ones and hence the Harley should not take her being left out as a snub.

Key names

Smith claimed that ASCOT has trusted the leadership and active participation of Emma-Jayne who has grown to be a fan favorite as well as the services of Frankie Dettori. He went ahead to praise Emma-Jayne who he believed to be integral if the team has to lift the title. He added that in every event, rotation of players is vital but each day, the top of the list will be headed by both Emma-Jayne and Frankie Dettori.

He added that the crowd has been fond of Sammy Jo and it would be boring for the spectators missing their favorite player on the pitch. She once lost her claim but of late has been very active in making sure that she reforms back to her previous form and this would definitely give her another chance for another call up. He added that one has to choose his best players from various nations and even go oversees to America where best riders are in wait.

Girls here to stay

Smith claimed that his main idea always involved having a team comprising of girls only as over half of the crowd would support the ‘girls’ team. Turner however even after failing to make the team was very pleased with this year’s win which comes after a long wait. She added that after the win she shared a bottle of champagne with her partner Emma-Jayne.
