IU grad living in Chicago. Yes, I also root for Purdue. Race fan. Used to work in radio, now enjoying life as a stay-at-home cat dad.
Baby Rumpza was born Saturday night! Mom and baby are both doing great. Sarah went into labor at Wrigley Field Friday. We were there for Sarah’s work outing, and had to make made a quick exit in the first inning. Still hoping she’s a White Sox fan, but we’re off to a rough start.

My hatred of the Cubs has dwindled over the years. Hell, I went to their game yesterday and cheered for them. But those north side clowns trying to claim the pope when he's a Sox fan has reignited my passion.

Just got cooked by an old lady behind me in line at the grocery store.
“Must have kids at home!”
“No, why?”
“Oh, I just saw that.”

Biggest accomplishment of 2025 (so far). I read The Power Broker! And did you really read it if you don’t tell people you read it?

I'd be pretty excited about Darian DeVries if he ends up being the guy. His son Tucker should get a medical RS and would be a great starting point for the roster. Pretty hilarious that Chester Frazier is his lead assistant. Tom Ostrom and Kory Barnett are also on his WVU staff.

One of our favorite yearly traditions is putting the bracket on a poster board. Sarah did the hard work, I just supplied the mediocre handwriting.
