Since moving, I did not realize how little wind we got in the valley in TN. My new place feels like it's constantly trying to get blown away.

Looking at the SEC football schedule this week. I do think the state schools should at least be required to schedule homecoming against an in-state opponent.

I kind of enjoy that "Black Friday" has been captured by marketing to mean a random set of dates after Halloween but before Christmas and sometimes in July.

The Dances with Wolves soundtrack spent more than a year on the Billboard top 200 chart? That's kind of wild to think about now.

If your school fired your football coach and paid them millions to do it, but then had a meeting complaining about paying House NIL money and having to cut other sports, how are you feeling today?

If your Husband (or boyfriend) shows up ready for the Halloween party in a pair of white boxers with red hearts on them, a leather jacket, and no shoes on, asking to borrow your cat, just put the cat on his shoulder and run with it, he knows what's up.

For those in college esports on here. Would there be an interest for a "meeting of the minds" of all the advisors/directors of esports in the Southeast. We'd do it at Volan. Order some pizza. Maybe even run some discussion sessions with speakers?
Oh, and free.
Oh, and free.

I contend this is still a very weird shutdown. In past shutdowns they would turn off the government websites. But IPEDS is still up. Albeit not being actively updated (I assume).
Pull your IPEDS data for your work this week now. It may not be there in the morning.

Wouldn't you like to be just good enough at your job to get $60 million to not keep doing it.

I don't think universities should be stripped of their tax exemption. But when football can pay someone $60 million to not be a coach it sure makes an argument to at least on exempt certain parts of the enterprise.

I'm still new to the comic/anime conventions scene.
Why is it that so many of these conventions are also wrestling conventions?
Is it simply the consolidation of the "fan" experience trying to bring in enough people to cover all the costs? Is the overlap of the groups that large?

I'm really intrigued on the idea the TN Holler is one of the tops.
if you can look at it without catching poster’s madness, the list of who actually gets engagement here is pretty interesting. somewhat dire at the top but quickly it’s real and high quality posters.

I want to become a "fill out this survey ambassador" for UT. It is vital that everyone takes this. Is that a thing? Can I volunteer for that to be a thing?
