Have fallen down a rabbit hole of watching old videos of The Verve performing and my greatest takeaway is that America (& Canada) got shafted last month when Cage The Elephant opened for Oasis instead of Richard Ashcroft.

Well, the CFB picks have gone to shit, folks, with last week's ledger finishing up at a ghastly 4-6 (though we're still 16-14 this year).

Here are my picks for Week 7:

Tulane -6.5
N. Texas +1.5
Fresno St. -6.5 (sigh)
IU +7.5
OU +1.5
Va Tech +14.5
Temple +9.5
Michigan +2.5
BYU -1.5
Utah St. -1.5

Picked a great day to cancel both of my Wells Fargo bank accounts, I'll tell you what...

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Nothing says midseason football quite like a bunch of Liberty University players & alums freaking out over having to go to El Paso, which they probably think is part of Mexico...

This reminds me of being at CSU in 2012. We got a snowstorm in mid-October & our president (who was a huge Cubs fan) sent an email saying they had a better shot at a World Series than CSU students did getting a snow day.

Then a student got hit by a broken tree branch & we got the whole week off…
