I went to look for tickets to this game because I'm nominally in the area. More than half of the stadium is end-zone seats. The bleachers where your "fifty yard line" seats are an entire outfield away.

Who thought this was a good idea? Soldier Field is a fine alternate location. This is not.
As a Guardians fan currently residing in Wisconsin, the two fan groups I'm most embedded in have different takes today:

Guardians fans: "Well of course the Jays lost, you can only have so many Clevelanders attached before it's a fait accompli"

Brewers fans: "Boy I can't wait for the 2027 lockout."

It's interesting how Republicans frame their policies as being so unpopular that if Puerto Ricans had self-determination they would permanently reject ever electing Republicans
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"
PSU had a chance in this game until Ohio State realized the PSU secondary is hot garbage.

OSU will win this game by eighty points if they never run the ball again.
By halftime the entire southwest corner of the field to at least the 15 yard line was underwater. Took my feet a week to warm up.
Though it was on 11/11, I appreciate that there's a strong @sickoscommittee.org vibe in the online Michigan football community to celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the all-time classics: 1995 Michigan 5, Purdue 0 in an ice storm.

The space elevator project was founded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.

After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.
I own all of the original Muppet Show box sets on DVD. My wife and I regularly quote Muppets Tonight at each other. The Muppet Christmas Carol is on repeat in our house every December. We even watched that execrable Muppets Now thing in 2020. And you won't get a cent from us for this new series.
Dear Disney: I am your target audience for a Muppets revival, and I won't be touching this with a ten-foot pole thanks to your cowardice regarding Kimmel.
MUPPETS ARE COMING BACK!!

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus.

We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

Which of these do you find “interesting”? Are any of these on the list of things he said you agree with.

What a horrible take.
"If it's gonna happen, might as well lie back and enjoy it"

At least their messaging is consistent?
@xkcd.com Wanna weigh in on this?
Okay, apropos of very little: When a school does one of these "stripe outs", what percentage of a section needs to be wearing the "correct" color for the second to appear correct to the wide-shot / blimp-shot TV cameras?
Wisconsin just scored on an end-around where the color guy shouted "REVERSE!" and the PBP guy immediately replied "End-around!". Maybe nature is finally healing.

(Yes, I will be beating this horse all season long)
Turn on Wisconsin if you're in the mood for terrible B1G play
