really cool to see lloyd's grandson come off the bench and lead michigan to victory. heartwarming stuff.
feels like penn state's probably gonna be able to win this one with 3
so excited to watch the big game today! i am referring to, of course, the double reverse revenge matchup between pat fitzgerald and aidan chiles in east lansing.
college football was already ruined years ago but today feels like overkill at this point
maybe we should have considered the possibility that utah's administration made the right move forcing this dude into retirement. should have gone fishing with the grandkids.
seeing far too much "bench the quarterback" and not nearly enough "bench the offensive coordinator"
it's amazing how iowa is this exact same team every single year. outgained by over 200 yards but somehow hanging around. you gotta respect it.
made some gobi manchurian for dinner. it was excellent. one of the better things i make.
just learned that my late-night viewing while tending to a fussy newborn is gonna be purdue vs ucla what did i do to deserve this
all these Protect College Sports Act ads are so ridiculous like yeah dude for sure gonna happen when congress went home for the next two months
i don't gamble on sports for a lot of reasons but northwestern dragging neon deon and the buffs to the bottom of lake michigan was one of the more predictable outcomes this weekend
You just gotta respect how Ole Miss's QB is from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the least SEC place in the country.
i had to leave college at 20 due to severe depression. never thought i'd be happy again i went back and graduated, eventually fell in love, got married, had a daughter, bought a house, have a good job, two dogs, lots of great relationships with friends and family 20 year old me wouldn't believe it
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?
went for a nice long run earlier so i could celebrate tonight's matchup with buffalo wings and detroit pizza
genuinely frightening how much antivax content meta feeds me now that i have a kid
the fancy tennis lads are cooking up a hysterical 4-6, 6-2, 3-6 loss here
“Oregon’s defense won’t actually be good because it’s a luxury training academy and not a team” is a take I should have gotten on the record
i realize i never mentioned this on here, but my daughter was born a week and a half ago. she's doing well! i celebrated last night's win by finishing a dirty diaper change mere seconds after buchanan caught that ball.
special father's day for me as my wife and I prepare for our first to be born in a couple months
Kills me that Raj isn’t over here, this is an instant classic, hung in the rafters.
