Why is my early rising child also my loud-for-no-reason child?

We were previewing Nebraska at UCLA and Commish couldn’t remember the Huskers backup QB’s name but remembered Zangief?

My favorite part of Nebraska volleyball games is when the match is over and the network has to figure out what to do for thirty plus minutes of unused broadcast time.

I remember doing it during my time there. Running behind on your average drive-thru time? Either ask someone on their break to go over the sensor a few times or bust out the giant ice bucket and tap it on the sensor to add a few zeros to the average.

Rarely had the customer do it, though.

Every easy run falls victim to "I'm feeling good I can go a little harder" eventually.

Feels like a morning to just kick the treadmill onto a nice easy cruising pace and just go nowhere for a long time.

Eye holes are plugged, unless you're counting pupils. But if you count pupils do you count everything with a sphincter?

He had one downfield attempt that was on target and dropped and somehow that confirmed to Holgo that he should never try that again

I haven't found a children's movie that won't fuck me up lately. Wild Robot, Onward, even Elio got me somehow.

Parenthood has turned me into a blubbering mess.

Can't wait to see who messes up this hiring process more, Auburn or LSU.

Chris Vannini @chrisvannini.com · 4d

SOURCES: Auburn has fired head coach Hugh Freeze, @theathletic.com has learned.

Comes one day after a 10-3 loss to Kentucky to fall to 1-5 in SEC play. DJ Durkin will be the interim head coach.

You would think in 29 attempts against ranked opponents that a team could stumble into a win every so often, wouldn’t you? In fact, the probability of NEVER getting a win in ANY of those games is a statistical wonder.

And yet, here we are.

A year ago I was infinitely more confident in our ability to stop a 3rd and 2 vs a 3rd and 12.

"Nebraska has to stop the run"

14 yard run on first down

Childish naivete.

5 minute scoring drive incoming. Just enough time left to stoke my inexhaustible supply of naive hope

Kenneth Williams save us

One day a win over a ranked team will happen. Maybe.

Jesus Christ I just realized the holder is Sam Koch's son. I can't be that old.

3 points is something.

Not enough, but something.
