It would be cool if once in a while College Gameday went to a campus that does not have a football team. Like just show up at Sarah Lawrence and see what happens.

I have given this a lot of thought and the most Dad thing I did was get an Infrared thermometer to see how hot the cast iron gets on the new gas range. Realized I can also use it to determine the coldest spots in the fridge for storing beer.
If you gave me (famous bassist) claps back at (famous novelist) regarding (famous directors') adaptation of (famous novelist), you would have me guessing a long time before I got to Flea/Joyce Carol Oates/Coen Bros/Cormac McCarthy.
Dear Joyce,
Though it would be difficult to capture the nuance and depth of the novel in a feature film, the Coen’s definitely established the action as a metaphor for a much deeper look at humanity, as Cormac did. It’s a great movie. - Your fan, Flea
If I were Tim Walz, I'd eat a salad tonight, b/c his diet for the next 4 months should be exclusively food from state/county fairs, and HS/CFB/NFL tailgates.
I struggled a lot in elementary school because my handwriting was so terrible. Now, whenever I see a kid with a Chromebook I take it away and smash it.
I think Dems are wildly underestimating the intensity of anger college loan cancelation is going to provoke. Those with college debt will be thrilled, of course. But lots and lots of people who didn't go to college or who worked to pay off their debts? Gonna be bad.

My students sometimes notice that settler colonialism seems a lot like gentrification. Might have to add this to the syllabus. What's the show called?
A quick Google suggest there are about twice as many students enrolled at HBCUs as there are at Ivy institutions. You would never know it if you read the New Yorker or the New York Times.
Boss: “Do you have the February picture for the UConn mascot calendar?”
Photographer: “Sure do, boss! Real fucking sexy just like you asked.”
Boss: “What”
If you voted for him, if you have his sign in your yard, if you have his sticker on your car, this is what you signed up for. You knew that. You bear some of the responsibility for the obscenity that is unfolding right now.
If Roe V. Wade is being overturned, remember this: it won't stop abortions. What it will do is stop poor people from getting safe abortions. If that's what you and your God want, please fuck all the way off.

's feed. If you are WFH and parenting, that's 2 jobs. Teaching is a 3rd job. As a teacher, let me suggest this -- keep your kids fed, washed, and safe, and we can pick up w/ algebra and spelling etc later.
It is kind of too bad that the conscience of college football media is pretty much these two little ole podcasts, but I am glad they are willing to put in the work.
If this is your first one of these days in the No Mom Club, welcome. Unless something goes terribly wrong, all of us will be in this club someday. We don't have a pool table or a gym, but we do have one another. DMs are open.
For serious: I lost my dad in 2006 and I never got around to having kids of my own. It's easy to feel left out. But the annual

Beyond the money and the fame, one perk of studying early America is the potential baby names I encounter. If you are having a baby, I urge you to consider "Wrestling."

One of my all time fave students at Clemson was an RA. She had a student's mom contact her, b/c her kid's roommate was dating someone of a different race. This student was in our class as well!
Actually, here's a fact for you: in the past six months, readers have spent more money buying my novel than Donald Trump spent on illegal porn hush money
I hope that when Taylor and Travis walked into Foxboro, she had some fun with it:
"They play football here?"
"Trav, you should see this place when people are excited about what's happening here."
I am 49% kidding when I say that RTing

"Well, Regular Depression and Covid Depression have put up impressive numbers, the daylight savings time change just might give Seasonal Depression the boost it needs to catch up."
If I were a digital media company, I would be on the lookout for sports media properties that do not depend on actual sports happening to attract and retain a loyal audience.
So,

I don’t know what is going on with LSU women’s basketball. I fervently hope it will accelerate Kim Mulkey’s permanent incarceration at the Don Cherry Home for Flamboyant Shitbirds.
Hearing reports that Don Cherry successfully fertilized three of the eggs Kim Mulkey laid pregame, and the hatchlings should be ready in time for the rumored Game of Thrones reboot.
Part of Q-Anon Clemson Mom's rationale against wearing a mask was a "99% survival rate." About 1,000 planes take off from ATL-Hartsfield every day. If ten of them crashed on an average day, we'd probably try to make airplanes safer?
Krispy Kreme offering free doughnuts for getting vaccinated is like Marlboro offering free cigarettes for getting a flu shot. We have an obesity epidemic in this country that is killing us. Corporations that ride the COVID-19 vaccine as a marketing ploy for junk food is terrible.
A cool thing about living with me is that I bought a tiny Crock Pot just for queso. An uncool thing about living with me is that I insist on referring to it, in my best Belloq voice, as a "machine for talking to God."
There is a history of

I was skeptical of Clemson’s choice to perform Bonnie Tyler’s “holding out for a hero” as part of its 9/11halftime show.On further reflection though, what is more American than singing about wanting to be railed by a cowboy?
DC folks, maybe you can help me with a pizza question?
What is the best place that delivers pizza to Chevy Chase, MD, b/c I would 100% send some pies to the folks outside of Kavanaugh's house.
