I’ve been called a lot of names, but never a normal college football fan. Go Dawgs!

Doesn’t exactly pair well with Jenny’s or Mike Jones’s digits, so make up your own tune.

Save it. Call it frequently and vocally.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

My husband is an Illini. No one has been bellowing louder than him how smoked they’re going to get tomorrow. I’m more of a Bert fan than him, but I agree. Sigh. Would be one amazing upset though.

Since I reached a level of petty I never could’ve conceived of pre-2015, I’ll simply ask, is Kerning included in the price fixing, I mean, price? I need to stab my eyeballs now.

My former roommate ate Armand’s nearly every damn day of his 20s. And he was from Chicago, so I used to make fun of him for being the guy who wore the band shirt to the concert. He was a traditionalist, so whenever we had people over and ordered pizza and someone got ham and pineapple, he’d lose it.

While w/ Yanks, JT was in ATL and my little bro and sis (ages 8 and 5-ish) were HEAD TO TOE in Braves attire and they saw him in an autograph cluster. He walked over to THEM, and chatted w/ them for like 15 mins. So funny they were too young to understand they were talking to a living legend.
