We all saw this coming. If he stays through the CFP or bowl game, I can live with it. (Looking at you, Cignetti. I hope you get blown out by Ohio State and in the first round of the playoffs.)
UCLA is expected to hire JMU coach Bob Chesney, source confirms to NBC Sports. Been trending this way for awhile, and the expectation is that Chesney would coach JMU if the Dukes make the CFP.

Hometown sighting. (Though Chambersburg is in Franklin County, not Mastriano, unless there’s another Chambersburg PA I wasn’t aware of.)
Holy SHIT. Never thought I’d see this happen.

Chambersburg, PA, a small town in very red Mastriano country, moved their borough council from a 9-1 R majority to 5-5, voting against every incumbent Republican. That's big there.

As the father of a Gen-Z woman, I could've told you years ago that you want absolutely no part of them when they're angry and motivated. If you cross them or stand in their way they will wreck your shit and light their preroll on your smoldering corpse.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

I don't know how to easily describe my interest in the Quebec Nordiques. I was never a fan per se, but I think it's one of the more tragic stories in North American professional sports. So I have an irrational old school/nostalgia attachment to them.
As such, I find this upsetting.

I love how every time Cox Farms posts something liberal on their social media, certain people get all mad. They’ve been doing this for YEARS, don’t act surprised. And they pull the “go woke go broke” shit, while Cox’s fall festival continues to sell out every weekend.
