North Campus Turkey

North Campus Turkey in Exile. Views expressed here are my own and do not represent my genus or phylum.

Reminder; the league that's full of "kids these days are sissy's & everybody nowadays thinks they deserve a trophy just for showing up." types got rid of Sudden Death because it "wasnt fair." Both teams should get a chance to score & everybody should get a chance to feel like a winner.

Lions fans are exempt from the "must root against Texas because Ted Cruz" vibes rule because the "must root against Matt Patricia" rule supersedes. If Patricia is coaching your 6 year old daughter's soccer team, you're obligated to cheer for little KayleeLeighlynn & the rest of the opposing team.

LMAO I FORGOT THAT RYAN DAY'S COORDINATORS ARE DETROIT LIONS FAILSON MATT PATRICIA AND ATLANTA FALCONS FAILSON ARTHUR SMITH

Hey ABC, I'm gonna need about a hundred more of those crowd shots in Texas. The ones where you can instantly spot a dozen absolutely schneef'd up frat boys. Just dozens of future finance bros who will utter the sentence "I'd like to turn state's evidence" at some point before 2035.

Update: we are still at Thunder of Michigan Fly-away day levels of air traffic out of KYIP. This cant just be normal Wolverine Air Force traffic. I suspect there was a large contingent of well-heeled sooner donors who came to Ann Arbor expecting to see the Woverines get housed.

Observationally speaking; the combined Wolverine and Sooner air forces are making today a banner day for the Willow Run FBO.

John Mateer is another example of a college QB that, on name and vibes, feels like he's been around forever. He's a CFB vampire. He was rock solid with Purdue in the 80's. Remember him slinging for Utah St from '96-'99? His '04-'07 run with Washington St. doesn't get talked about enough.

The NFL is the most "nobody got fired for buying IBM" league exactly because of scenarios like this. The Rams might have had a legit awful game plan, a million things could have gone wrong here, and obviously did. But no coach, GM, or team will EVER try what the Rams did again.

I do think it’s very funny the Rams tried to do extreme time zone optimization and are getting their asses kicked. A story for our times.

Reminder; Matthew Stafford is the glo-stick QB. You have to crack him & shake him up real good for him to shine. Lions fans know that 4th quarter Stafford in a game where he went to the locker room before halftime was otherworldly. Stafford was not sacked in this game. (Also, time change. 100%)

So most likely, this was a one-game aberration from Stafford, yes. But I will say that basically everyone this summer underrated the possibility that a 38-year old QB who isn't truly an all-time great would regress significantly due to age this year. It's a pretty plausible outcome.

Just being post-plane-crash tacky for a moment; -Wondering if "Parkinson's" is now the classy, ESPN ombudsman-approved way of saying "CTE"? -Is Parkinson's a catch-all for neurodegenerative conditions or is it specific? -What's the link between cocaine & parkinson's? (ala Richard Pryor)

The proto-Effin’ Birds was my Tumblr “Swear Trek”. It opened a lot of doors for me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I don’t have plans to revive it (one daily comic is enough work), just wanted to thank it for getting me here on this 60th anniversary of Star Trek.
