Oregon is clearly not a bad team, but I think we know now that their offense isn't like last year's when they face a good defense. It's tough to say as an Illini, but IU is pretty damn good and it's clear that Cigs knows how to prepare for a game.

I don't know Allen, but she's pretty credulous for a professor. May Mailman, a 2 term Trump appointee, says they just want to make it easier for universities to act and she takes that at face value? I wonder how many extensions she's given to students whose grandparents died just before a test.

Screenshot from linked article:
"May Mailman, senior advisor on special projects in the White House, told the Wall Street Journal that one purpose of sending the letter to multiple schools was to help solve their collective action problem. The goal, she said, was to make it possible for schools to act “in things that are not hard decisions, but they are hard to go at it alone.”

Mailman’s intuition is right. Competitive dynamics among colleges have made it hard to solve some of the problems in the sector, for instance around rising tuition. This push to the sector to work collaboratively is a terrific opportunity to break out of a collective action trap."

Great image, but it really is a weird-ass mix of universities. Does anyone know why these 9 were on the list?

Give me a break - green bell peppers are the just the IPA of peppers. They're just bitter, unripe bell peppers with fewer nutrients.
If you like them, great, but that doesn't mean your terrible taste is more sophisticated than anyone else's.

Seeing a lot of folks being shocked by this but this is just a training agreement. Mountain Home is a major F-15 base & the Qatari air force just bought a bunch. This is pretty common, Norway & the UAE both have facilities in AZ for flight training.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

This is one of the funniest bits from that ESPN article. This would annoy the shit out of me as well.

Quote from ESPN article -
RB Dante Miller:

"I've never seen [some]one chew seeds louder. He eats loud. He does everything loud. It's quiet [in the meeting room] and he's munching on seeds and I'm like, this is not normal.

"What's a crazy cartoon character? That's a very, very good comparison. Like the Tasmanian Devil. I like that. But he chews his seeds very loud."

That collar has a vibrate setting but the dog wouldn't react that way with vibrate. I have a GSP and I need an e collar on him when he runs free in open space because he is oblivious while exploring. I only use the shock when he's in a dangerous situation - like when he came across some coyotes.

Saw this when I was living in Paris and was blown away. It really represents a time and mood in France and is so intense.

Brandon, great summary as usual. FYI, there's a typo in the Illinois section - it was unfortunately Western Michigan, not Michigan that the Illini beat 38-0.
