Watch for Waka Flocka's return to Kroger Field for the 2025 season finale
Coincidentally, Waka Flocka Flame has a concert in Lexington on November 15, the night following Kentucky versus Tennessee Tech. The 'Grove St. Party' singer takes the stage at Manchester Music Hall at 9 p.m., billed as an after-party to the football game across town.
Connecting the dots here, UK Athletics may already have Waka Flocka booked for the football game. If not, it should. After all, he sings the team's unofficial anthem, and the last time he was in town, Kentucky beat Florida in Lexington for the first time since 1986. He was on the sideline for Trevin Wallace's kick-six touchdown.
Kentucky shouldn't need Waka Flocka's magic to handle its business against Tennessee Tech. Still, keep an eye on that game for a potential Waka Flocka sighting. Kroger Field went nuts the last time he stopped in.

'I felt like a Wildcat.'
Though he hails from Georgia, Waka Flocka Flame claims Big Blue Nation ever since Kentucky adopted his hit song during the South Carolina game in 2014.
He told SEC Network, 'I felt like I grew up in Kentucky, the way the love was, the energy was and how everybody gravitated with each other. It felt like we were in the NFL. I felt like that was the Super Bowl. It was amazing.'

Shedeur Sanders begins preseason buried on Browns depth chart
Shedeur Sanders has battled since being drafted in April to make a name for himself on the Browns roster, but so far, it has not happened. After sitting out a practice this weekend with arm soreness and missing valuable reps, the Browns released their first depth chart of the season, and it wasn't promising as to where Sanders stands in the quarterback competition. The former Colorado Buffaloes signal caller was listed as the Browns' No. 4 quarterback behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. Sanders' performances so far during training camp would suggest that he has not been the fourth-best quarterback on the roster, but rather one of the top-2 options. Given that preseason games don't see starters play for long, Sanders might receive ample playing time on Friday when the Browns face the Panthers to open the preseason. The Browns also signed quarterback Tyler Huntley, who was with Cleveland last season, which may indicate that Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, who are dealing with hamstring injuries, won't play this week.

'Ella McCay,' the first new movie from writer-director James L. Brooks since 2010, is in theaters Dec. 12NEED TO KNOW Ella McCay, which stars Sex Education's Emma Mackey, follows a young woman who becomes a governor Jamie Lee Curtis, Albert Brooks, Woody Harrelson, Ayo Edebiri and Jack Lowden also star in the new movie from three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker James L. Brooks Watch the new trailer for Ella McCay, in theaters Dec. 12Emma Mackey is taking on the system in filmmaker James L. Brooks' new movie! On Monday, Aug. 4, 20th Century Studios released the trailer for Ella McCay, a dramedy from three-time Academy Award winner Brooks, 85, which follows the Sex Education star, 29, as a young woman who becomes a state governor after her boss (Albert Brooks) is promoted to a federal-level cabinet position. A newly released trailer shows Ella becoming governor and straddling new responsibilities with drama involving her family, including her estranged father (Woody Harrelson), brother (Spike Fearn) and aunt (Jamie Lee Curtis). The "comedy about the people you love and how to survive them," per a synopsis from 20th Century Studios, also features Jack Lowden, Rebecca Hall, Ayo Edebiri, Kumail Nanjiani and Julie Kavner. "You are truly blessed if you have never experienced other people's normal, happy families as a small stab in the heart," quips Kavner in the trailer, which starts with her introducing herself as the story's narrator. "You can use a scream," Curtis' character tells Mackey, encouraging her to let out her feelings. "No, I might not be able to stop," responds her niece. But later in the trailer, they surprise each other by screaming it out together. Ella McCay is notably Brooks' first movie as a director since 2010's How Do You Know. The Hollywood legend won three Oscars in 1984 for Terms of Endearment - Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. The film is also something of a return to the big screen for actor Albert Brooks (no relation), 78, whose previous acting credit is 2017's I Love You, Daddy. James also directed Albert in Broadcast News. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. As James told The Hollywood Reporter in an April interview, the movie is set in 2008 and is "about how to not make government service and political office something any sane person would flee from." "In a movie like this, you've got to figure out what the heroism is, and chase that," the director said at that time. "What is it really that makes you a fine person? Is it a character that's worth supporting for an entire movie? That's what you aim for." Ella McCay is in theaters on Dec. 12. Read the original article on People
