UNC's in the koala habitat, just smooth-brained & inert, munching on eucalyptus while the tree it's on is a literal bomb that's on fire

It’s a known Thing at this point that UNC is Bad, but good lord, look at where they landed here. They’re neighbors with Kent State, and if you wake up in the koala habitat, you’ve done a series of somethings very, very wrong.

Why I pay for @channel6.bsky.social:

Scoring points quickly would have helped the Nittany Lions, but hurrying a James Franklin team is like asking a sloth to hurry up in the shitter. The sloth doesn’t understand the words or the concept, and all the yelling only frightens and confuses them more.

Thank you to @channel6.bsky.social for putting this lovely reference to my favorite commercial right after the discussion of how terrible my team's offense is in this week's Top Whatever; made me genuinely smile after getting pissed off all over again, great palate cleanser lol 💜💛

Picture of "the cheesiest" cheese wheel from the Cheez-It commercial captioned: "It's been years. And yet, he still inspires. Because this morning, like every Saturday he did indeed wake up feeling the cheesiest, despite not having a head or limbs."
