Hopefully we will see SLS send Orion for a month long cruise around the moon in a month. Given the history of first launches of new rockets ( or just any large aerospace program ever ) I'd expect actual launch later in the fall.
The Artemis 1 stack rolled back to the VAB for further inspection and maintenance on July 2 and remains there still, being prepped for its impending liftoff.
Artemis 1 is a shakeout cruise designed primarily to show that SLS and Orion are ready to carry astronauts, but the mission has secondary goals as well. For example, 10 cubesats will hitch a ride on the huge moon rocket. These tiny spacecraft will perform a variety of off-Earth work, from hunting for water on the moon to solar sailing to an asteroid to testing how deep-space radiation affects yeast cells.
Artemis 1 will be a long mission, but the exact duration depends on the liftoff date, thanks to orbital dynamics. For instance, launches on Aug. 29 or Sept. 5 would result in a 42-day mission, but a Sept. 2 liftoff would kick off a 39-day flight. In every case, Orion will come back to Earth for a parachute-aided ocean splashdown.

Here is an infographic with a short mission overview, released last year.
Hotel bookings, according to Florida Today, are already near capacity.
Just glancing at hotel room listings shows a rapidly dwindling supply among those that haven't been sold out.
The space-themed Courtyard by Marriott Titusville – Kennedy Space Center is one of the area's newest hotels. Completed this year and opened to the public in April, it boasts views of KSC and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station pads and even has a rooftop "Space Bar" specifically for launch viewing.
All the Courtyard's rooms, along with the Space Bar, are sold out for Artemis I.
With the Artemis 1 mission just weeks away from launch, teams at NASA and the program’s contractors are carrying out final preparations for this major milestone in the effort to return humans to the Moon. NASASpaceflight sat down with Mike Hawes, the Vice President and Program Manager for Orion at Lockheed Martin to discuss how the company was preparing its spacecraft for this mission.
Artemis 1 is the first flight of Orion aboard NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). It is currently scheduled to launch no earlier than August 29 from Launch Complex 39B (LC-39B) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In the event of a delay, NASA also announced two backup launch opportunities in September

Results from the Wet Dress Rehearsal
On June 20, NASA and contractors held a fourth Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) for the Artemis mission, which was deemed successful by the agency. During the event, the countdown got down to T-29 seconds.
This came after three other unsatisfactory WDR attempts that were conducted on the SLS launch vehicle and Orion stack out at LC-39B.
“We’ve learned a few things […] we got a couple of temperatures different than we had predicted,” said Mike Hawes, the Vice President and Program Manager for Orion. “So, we had to reevaluate some of our launch commit criteria, parameters, and things and so while the spacecraft has performed perfectly, we learned a handful of things that we have had to go off and reevaluate.”
The difference between the temperatures recorded on board Orion from the predictions that had been made prior to the WDR arose because this was the first time that Orion and SLS had gone through a combined and integrated cryogenic test.

The Artemis 1 team is working toward an Aug. 29 launch date, but that target isn't set in stone.

As NASA's first Artemis moon launch approaches, so do crowds: At least 100,000 expected
Sold-out hotels. Excitement that seems to grow by the day. The potential for hundreds of thousands of visitors, support staff, and more.

Kirby Smart - relationship with players is key

Seems obvious on the surface but ranking it up there with play calling is interesting...
From an Athletic article:
Smart said. “You better have buy-in with your players. And I think the older I’ve gotten, the more I acknowledge the relationship with the player matters much more than maybe the play you call, than maybe the practice habit you create or anything else. It’s ‘Will those players play hard for each other, and do they believe in their coaching staff, that their coaching staff cares for them?’
“And that allows you to sustain.”
...
“Georgia obviously has the best players, but they play harder than anybody in our league. You can see it on the tape. When you watch them, there’s so few loafs, and they have so many bodies around the ball on every play,” an SEC coordinator said. “It’s so hard to get kids to do that. Credit to Kirby. That’s a culture thing.”
