Iโm a landlord. Itโs a tough business. I had a tenant, Mr. Alvarez. Never late on rent for 5 years. Then, the checks stopped. I went to his apartment. He didnโt open the door. I used my key. The apartment was empty. No furniture. Just a mattress on the floor and Mr. Alvarez sitting on it. โIโm sorry,โ he said, looking down. โMy wife got sick. The medicationโฆ I sold everything. Iโll leave today.โ I looked at the empty room. I went to my truck. I grabbed my tools. โIโm not kicking you out,โ I said. โBut I am raising the rent.โ He looked terrified. โIโm raising it to $0 for the next six months.โ He started to cry. โAnd,โ I added, โIโve got an extra sofa in storage. And a table. Letโs get this place looking like a home again.โ That was three years ago. His wife recovered. Heโs back on his feet. He insists on paying me double rent now to "pay back the debt." I put the extra money into a fund for other tenants who struggle. A roof over someoneโs head is a business. Keeping a roof over their head when theyโre drowning? Thatโs a duty.

State is going to go on the road and take a double-digit win in Knoxville against No. 15 Tennessee. State hands the Lady Vols their first SEC loss and the first loss at home all year.
Just an unreal effort from the Bulldogs. Completely dominated the physicality of that.
