It is super cursed that, a year after we all dunked on Alabama for being mad they got left out despite playing nobody in nonconference, one of the first teams out will be an SEC team that Ohio State.

That's for the flagship, too. Directional State U may be a third or less the cost for an in-state student with good but not outstanding high school grades.

Will we have one? I thought the whole right wing gen Z thing was overblown and we were roughly in-between millennials and our gen X parents, which is just lead poisoning making you a bad parent.

I probably don't get my ticket checked on ~10% of my CR trips, but the gate means I always have to have a ticket

If it's like North Station, a lot of the commuter rail lines don't have ticket machines at the suburban stations. The fare gates make it so someone who doesn't get ticket checked still has on board still has to buy a ticket.

It is shocking how much money rich alums donate directly to football programs and even more shocking how often it is for the express purpose of buying out a coach

Then Panthers did it a couple years after and won that game as well! Though both of those teams won home games which they wouldn't get if they made the playoffs below .500 again

Waiting with baited breath for the week 18 showdown between the 8-8 Bucs and 8-8 Panthers for the NFC South title.

But Alex, the call in shows would be so fun while we all scream about how to compare Duke to JMU

Funny is, like, the whole point of the playoff once you're past the top ~8 seeds.

I'm just so angry, but not in the incandescent rage sense, in the sense that I think I might become a single issue voter toward destroying this industry and everything adjacent to it because how else can we survive?

I never minded working grocery on Thanksgiving. Shit happens, the store was only open 8-3, and it was volunteer anyway. People acting like it was an insane hardship was by far the most annoying part

I do think there's an extent to which "try to win rural seats" can be code for "be more moderate especially about minority rights", but, as Aubrey says, that's not what's happening here
