The “Battle for the Bones” is a college-football trophy game pitting the Tigers of the University of Memphis against the Blazers of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, with the winner taking home a 100-pound bronze rack of ribs. The trophy was introduced in 2006 to add flair to the rivalry, which dates back to 1997 on the gridiron and has roots in earlier matchups. The article notes how the trophy captures local flavor (with ribs being a regional staple) and how realignment in conferences caused the series to pause for a stretch, but both schools have embraced its revival and the symbol it carries.
 

The upcoming 7th Annual Pasadena Adaptive Sports Festival is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Brookside Park (360 N. Arroyo Blvd., Pasadena). Organized by Triumph Foundation in partnership with the City of Pasadena Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, the free inclusive event gives participants of all abilities the chance to try a wide variety of adaptive sports—such as wheelchair basketball, hand-cycling, archery, pickleball, fencing, and more—with all equipment and coaching provided. A resource fair and interactive art workshop are also part of the day’s activities, lunch will be provided to registered adaptive athletes, and the festival aims to promote wellness, inclusion, and fun for everyone—from participants to families and friends. 

 

Have a nice week!

LIVE GENEROUSLY!
