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.

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…

A bit of news ,,, the Phoenix Suns' newest arena sponsor (United Wholesale Mortgage) is owned by the Suns' owner, Mat Ishbia, so I guess it might as well be called Vertical Integration Arena...
Press release from the Phoenix Suns today reads: "The Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury and United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the #1 overall mortgage lender in America, today announced a 10-year, nearly $115 million dollar naming rights partnership — one of the largest in the NBA and WNBA — to name the downtown Phoenix arena after UWM’s consumer-facing brand, Mortgage Matchup. The home of the Suns, Mercury and more than 100 sporting and entertainment events a year will now be named Mortgage Matchup Center. “I’m extremely excited about this partnership as it represents two organizations that have natural alignment and a shared commitment to excellence. Arizona is one of the strongest markets for mortgage brokers and we see a fantastic opportunity through Mortgage Matchup to help consumers better understand the value of having an expert advising them through this process to ensure they get the fastest, easiest and cheapest path to homeownership or a refinance — and greater education will ensure more consumers can take advantage of those benefits,” said UWM President and CEO Mat Ishbia. “The Phoenix Suns and Mercury have a diverse, passionate and engaged fan base in sports that will allow us to make strong connections between mortgage brokers and consumers.” “Our arena hosts more than basketball games and entertainment events — it represents a sense of belonging, community and moments fans carry with them forever,” said Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein. “That’s exactly why Mortgage Matchup is the perfect partner. Just as they help families achieve the dream of homeownership through local community-focused mortgage brokers, together we’ll create a home for unforgettable memories at Mortgage Matchup Center.”

Sounds like a ,,, B1G mistake
Sources: Big Ten discussing $2 billion private capital deal Pete Thamel Dan Wetzel Oct 1, 2025, 04:46 PM ET The Big Ten is in discussions about a private capital deal that would infuse at least $2 billion into the league and its schools, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The discussions include a 10-year extension of the league's grant of rights until 2046, sources told ESPN, which would ensure long-term stability in the Big Ten. According to sources, the private capital deal and grant of rights extension have been discussed for months and presented in multiple forms. A deal and the grant of rights extension would also be a distinct blow to the outside entities attempting to form super leagues around college sports. While there is support from nearly the entire league, according to sources, a few of the league's biggest brands -- including Ohio State and Michigan -- are still in discussions with the league. The aim is to have unanimous support before a vote, sources told ESPN. A decision either way on the private capital deal is expected in the upcoming weeks from the schools in the Big Ten, sources said, and nothing is considered imminent or certain. There are three different private capital entities being considered by the Big Ten, sources told ESPN, and the league has not taken a vote on any plan.
