The issue isn’t the Ohio State loss. That’s a misdirection since that is a “good loss”.

If you were 10-2 with a loss to a bad Florida, and two near misses with Mississippi State and Kentucky, your record would be scrutinized.

There is a LOT of iffyness with y’all Sark. Sorry.
More Sark stumping: "What message do you want to send to the head coaches and the athletic directors around the country? Do you want us not to schedule Ohio State? Because if we're 10-2 right now, this isn't even a discussion."

You lost to a bad Florida squad and got DOGWALKED by Georgia.

Shut up. Just…no.

“Played 3 of the top 4”.

And lost to two of those three so….
Sark: "I think we're absolutely a playoff team."

He came with stats:
- First team since 2019 LSU with three top-10 regular season wins.
- No. 5 SOS
- Played three teams in the current top 4
- Outgained Ohio State by 200 yards.

Lane Kiffin is 50 years old. He shouldn’t have been called a ho, even if one is quoting a rap lyric.

He instead should have been called a 50 year old nepo baby who is really not worth this much time and attention.

And I would absolutely say this to his face.

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

I like you, Charlie Brown. That is why I will kill you last.

first of all, Martinelli's actually rules so jot that down. second of all, the fancy soda business has never been busier. third of all, a big punchbowl or crockpot of something people can add booze to if they want to or leave it out if they don't requires zero bartending effort

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

the draft is burned into my brain. cam ward’s name was barely out of goodell’s mouth before they steered it back to a player that was drafted five rounds later. we gotta get better at the distribution of these stories. media across the board is built to do nothing but incite intense emotions

I do need people to realize that Duke is a basketball game but UNC's rival is NC State. A school with people we know and went to school with, not a private school that won't even help the NC, as a state, community.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

It's 8a from Bill's column.

It's not that his sideline demeanor is bad. That is part of it.

His whole vibe is just...aggressively weird. Some of it sideline. Some of it the introductory press conference. And that just aggressively weird vibe is going to color how you're viewed.
Good example of the gap between reality and Sirianni.

Seifert took over a team that had just won the Super Bowl with two Hall of Fame quarterbacks on the same roster.

Sirianni took over a team that had just gone 4-11-1 with Carson Wentz, a rookie Jalen Hurts, and Nate Sudfeld.
Because he's not. George Seifert had an all time type record following Bill Walsh in SF. Remember when he coached Carolina? Nobody else does either. When Philly eventually falls apart, he'll get a job somewhere else and be predictably terrible.

An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
