got fully in my feelings about Indiana winning the national championship, the greatest story in college football history.

It’s the greatest story in college football history. Maybe hope and belief aren't so naive.

I love watching replays from Bad angles trying to figure out if the ball had an atom in the cylinder so we get to see the foul they didn't call on the original shot again and again.

They're putting Connor Enright on Mara. I imagine they're spending this break on the bench letting Aday know this fact.

Been trying to find a way to talk about this for days, as if I could add any more context than the obvious. Same target (even the same part of the building) as 1967, same kind of person, same ideas, but instead of a KKK membership card it's faith-based maxxing.

Eh, most contemporaries called them something that meant "borderlanders" or "savages" in a language that wasn't theirs, or confused them for some completely different barbarians, and it stuck because y'all wanted to be some corporate mouthful like United Federation of the People of the Frothy River.
neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Our traffic is still majority direct but this is a little annoying, especially because our most likely Google hit is a search that includes "mgoblog" in it.
And I would say that it's *far* more amongst the biggest publishers — this average is just being offset by the smaller SEO shops who haven't been decimated. Folks who do original content are being strip-mined.
