Which is a shame---I was at today's Penn State-Rutgers game (family friend in his last game at PSU) and had a great time--Rutgers has a lot of fun traditions, a great marching band, and an old-school stadium. They'll never be competitive in football in the Big 10 but the profit first took over...

Hell, the Big XII has four of the Big 8 as well--I bet they could get Nebraska to stop punishing itself in the Big Ten and join up as well. Mizzou and Arkansas don't belong in the SEC either...

With all the other teams, maybe relabel the Big XII to SWC+

It's a shame Okie State has already grabbed their head coach. I've driven through Stillwater and wasn't much impressed.

On a day when Iowa scored 40, the Eagles continue to show they need Kirk Ferentz as their next coach...

Fucking assholes, as we say in South Philly. Sometimes can be good, cuz there are times when you need some FAs on your side. Often can be bad.

I'm cooking at my in-laws old house and they have a galley kitchen--it's an all-day fight to keep people out while I try to work in the cramped space...

Birth of a Nation (1915) is pretty horrific...

It’s awesome—this is my base recipe but I add more booze, molasses, and use dark brown sugar

I love cooking but it’s been a long year and we only have 5 for dinner, so I told everyone we’ll have the usual things but I’m not making stuff nobody eats as leftovers (cranberry fluff, bourbon sweet potatoes, etc). Don’t have time or energy for that.
