What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

p sure that reskeet won't last, so here's a screenshot.

A skeet from user "BenState" that says:
PSU is a tiny town that lucked into some incredible people that built this institution up. There is no reason to come to PSU over Temple or Pitt for a lot of recruits except they believe in the VALUES that James represents.

It only requires a tiny amount of knowledge about college football to understand why this is the dumbest possible reply.
Notably, that this Franklin's 11th dang season at Penn State, and this "lose embarrassingly at a bad time" thing is basically his whole brand.

I literally know nothing about this kind of stuff, but does that mean it's some kind of maga bs or something?

I hesitated to call out this article because we have "friends of friends" in common IRL. But I just couldn't resist, because of that exact reason.

omg I want to go see that just because of the spectacle! But the wife has so far been rather cool on the idea of "Let's go to South Dakota just to watch a Division II football game."

I mean, I get it, he's the first really huge example of NIL money pouring into a player that hasn't been that good. But there have been so many big 5-star recruits that flopped that it's hard to know where to start.
I mean, Brock Vandagriff is probably the closest recent comparison.

Ok, well, the answer to the second statement is "because you haven't watched college football more than like 2 years, max, if you feel like that."

A headline that reads:
Is Arch Manning college football's first flop? Why his slow start feels unprecedented

I don't think it's kooky. I had the same type of dream about 6 months after my wife passed away, and I don't think it's crazy to think it was actually her talking to me, or Joe talking to you last night.

Absolutely cannot BELIEVE I forgot this one.
If you haven't been to the WLOCP, it's impossible to describe. Can't even try. It's stupid (complimentary).

MisterStampy @misterstampy.bsky.social · 1d

Does the visceral, living hatred at the WLOCP between fans of EITHER team pre-game count?
