An "old dude" thing about me is I've started collecting old things. Could be a product of increased sentimentality after losing loved ones, or having a glimmer of financial stability for the first time in life, or pandemic brain making me more attached to "stuff" that reminds me of a different time.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”
Haha, it was my midlife crisis thing, mostly because I always wanted the ‘90s Champion ones when I was a kid but we could never afford them. And now you can find cool ones usually fairly cheap on eBay.
Let me know if anyone knows where to find a Jimmy King Raps jersey!
This was a very funny prize to offer at a Michigan State football game.
That nut obliteration from Cade was your karma, Sengun.
Sengun is so soft, I hate this floppy garbage.
Just went into the Hall of Fame this year! He still does Sparty football on the radio too.
Also very funny to me that him and Kelser don’t even bother to learn what they are, they just sit around saying that they suck.
The disgust in George Blaha’s voice when he says “reckless close out” is hilarious, that man hates all these fancy new rules so much.
Would love it if the booth was just Tirico and Crawford.

Chicago should be a bullet train hub. Minneapolis, Des Moines, St Louis, Kansas City, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati should all be connected to Chicago via fast trains.
Also my badass kid and her badass coach whooped Goodrich in basketball for the first time in three years then went out and protested authoritarians.
Well over 1,000 people at #NoKings in Flint MI
Out here lookin like Pepé Le Pew.
My son was five when this happened. It was his first vivid sports memory, and for better or worse (let's be honest ... occasionally it can be the WORST, but this day was the BEST), forever cemented him as a SpartanDawg.
my latest project for @forthewin.bsky.social, an oral history of "Trouble with the Snap" — the infamous 2015 Michigan-Michigan State game.

"A really surreal, emotional moment."

"You're just shocked."

"It still gives me goosebumps to this day."

Trouble with the Snap: An oral history of the 2015 Michigan-Michigan State game
For The Win spoke with more than a dozen players, coaches, broadcasters, officials and fans to revisit the 2015 Michigan-Michigan State game.

These roses didn’t bloom all summer but I finally got one in the fall. #plantsky
I’d love to see him in a functional offense, he’s so good. But there is very little for him to show it here.
I promise you, Big Blue, Nick Marsh is very good, and this very bad and dysfunctional MSU program was lucky to get one year from him let alone two. Save him!
Also Michigan should get over its passion for having bad wide receivers go get Nick Marsh because he’s definitely transferring, he’s local, and he’d be perfect for Underwood.
Honestly Sparty, just go fire Jonathan Smith now and let Izzo be interim for a couple weeks. What could it even hurt?
Riley Greene has had some of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen from a good player tonight.
I don’t watch enough baseball to be an accurate judge, but I feel like Adam Wainwright and AJ Pierzynski have been fantastic broadcasting this Tigers-Mariners series.
The last two years I don't think I've had a single message from any of the reps in my district, but get bombarded by people on the other side of the state and even out of state.
Hope he stops texting and emailing me now especially since I don't even live in his district!
