I appreciate the effort to give the game to us, UNC, but we ensured your attempted collapse would be in vain.

Super Bowl LX was the mid-trim model. A step up from the cloth seats of the Super Bowl DX but not as nice as power seats in the Super Bowl EX.
with Super Bowl LX on the horizon, don't forget that its official pronunciation is Super Bowl Lex

Trump’s immigration policies yielding big results in border-state Texas.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Backing up The Argument in NYT/Siena, Gen X still has an astonishing 49% approval for Trump (!), while Boomers have dipped to 42%.
Gen X is currently tracking at 12 pts to the right of the electorate on the generic ballot. Now 9 pts to the right of Boomers, which has to be the largest gap ever.

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And:
"Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans."

The sales pitch on leaving the ACC for the B1G or SEC was “Even if we can’t win these conferences, at least we’ll have financial stability.” Well, Rutgers is proving you can get your ass kicked yearly AND go half a billion in debt, too!
Rutgers has an athletic department deficit of over $500 million since joining the Big Ten. Buy Rutgers bonds before The Big Short 2.

Today, we're looking at which FBS games had the FEWEST YARDS and the MOST POINTS.
We calculated combined yards/point for FBS games this year and ranked the games by fewest yards per point.
Congrats to Syracuse and Notre dame who combined for 77 points on just 603 yards.

I think this is a fantastic use of $75 million by idiots trying to gain Trump’s favor.
Melania hasn't sold a single ticket at all in Boston. This movie was an obvious bribe by Bezos and Amazon.

I’ll say it: The Doomsday Clock is dumb
The Doomsday Clock, a metaphorical timepiece meant to depict how close humanity is to destruction, ticked closer than ever to midnight on Tuesday: 85 seconds to the stroke of doom.
Doomsday Clock Ticks Closer Than Ever to Apocalypse
Wars, climate change, disruptive technologies and the rise of autocracy over the past year prompted scientists to set the clock at 85 seconds to midnight.
