For those of you who don't know me, wondering who is this dude trying to be funny, posting randomly or am curious, here's a bunch of posts about who I am.

I'm TK, aka T-Dog, aka Thomas, aka That App State Fan, aka the GIF guy.

When's the next scheduled Belichick presser?

TK from the Paper @pipedreams.blog · 6h

Gotta give it to Belichick, he has done something no UNC Football Coach has ever done.

He has zero UNC fans talking about Men's Basketball in October.

Something you probably don't want to hear but likely will understand is that many media outlets have pre-written obituaries for certain famous people. I would bet many updated or wrote one for Dolly on Tuesday just in case.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

My simple rule is that if the bartender tries to tell me their IPA doesn't taste like an IPA, I leave.

It's an Americana restaurant that tries to be a sports bar and serves unseasoned street tacos with the driest cold slaw.

On research, the NCAA has completely ignored Richie's now-former record, so it's their fault.

Sunderland Til I Die Season 1 is one of the best modern sports docs because it went so wrong and showed how it impacted everyone around.

Hulu would have broken viewership records with a Chapel Bill documentary.

SoFi Stadium seems like the logical answer, but how about USC/UCLA day-night doubleheaders at the Rose Bowl?

A temporary track and field venue being installed by LA28 will kick the Trojans out of their football stadium for the 2028 season, concludes Rich Perelman.

Following up from the "MFing the websites" comment from the podcast, has there been any specific examples of Bill and Co disparaging Inside Carolina, etc., publicly or that you can share.

I don't doubt its happened. I'm just curious to know the level of contempt BillCo has for the crootin sites.

It's Georgia State vs App State week, so we go back to the first meeting in 2014. App State is 11-0 versus Georgia State.

Everyone involved has said the eventual play was called from the onset.
