Wife is watching “Thank God: Christmas at the Keller Ranch” and commented “I think her husband died” and I commented “was it a horse stampede” and now I’ve been tasked with figuring out how he actually died (in the movie).

News: “rain for the Parade of Roses for the first time in 20 years”

My brain: *20 years ago is….2006….oh yeah, that was when the 101 washed out and a bunch of undergrads couldn’t return to school! I was there for that*

I get all the Chip Kelly references on my timeline, but why not any discussion of this being retribution for 2003 from the old heads I am mutuals with?

I believe I’ve been OUT for NYE one time, with my married siblings and girlfriend (fiancé? it’s been a while). Other than that, we’ve done a few sleepovers at close friends/immediate family, or been home
Going to a neighbors' house to play games, eat, and drink tonight, likely ending pre-midnight, then coming home to watch Stranger Things (if we're all up for it).

Flawless NYE plans. I'd hate to go out on NYE. Some of my favorite NYE's involved staying in.

Apparently, the response to “you want to spend how much money on an offensive coordinator?” is “you idiots set $75 million on fire for no reason, so, don’t lecture us about fiscal responsibility.”

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I’m really glad that I also drafted Luther Burden in fantasy

I’m less glad that I had to drop him early on.

I only put cheese on my fries

If you are asking what I’d dip them in? Vanilla ice cream
ketchup isn’t available, what are you putting on your fries?

either:

Pat Fitzgerald wants to run back his awful end-of-tenure offense from Northwestern (very very bad sign for MSU)

Pat Fitzgerald hired one of the worst assistant coaches in college football to reward him for his vocal loyalty after Fitz was fired at Northwestern (worse!)

Northwestern fan: a Cat won MVP for the bowl game!
Friend: surely it was a defender
NF: no
Friend: oh, then it must’ve been a quarterback
NF: no
Friend: then who was it?
NF: a wide receiver
Friend: oh, must’ve had a pretty big game then, probably well over 100 yards
NF: [looks around awkwardly]

So, Northwestern explodes in the final 10 minutes of the first half, and the entire opening of the halftime show is devoted to the strong likelihood (not yet official) of Michigan’s next head coach.

Was this programmed specifically to infuriate @byctom.bsky.social ?

I want to believe that is what jumpstarts the offense

The Best Offense* is a good Defense

*in most recent circumstances for Northwestern

It took 4 drives and almost an entire quarter, but we finally got a 1st down
December 26, 2025 at 6:37 PM
That is the run they were hoping for at the end of last possession

Does anyone know where the Bluesky section is at the A Game Above Sports Bowl? Want to look for all my (parasocial?) friends.
