Just wanted to share that today, TNG Local 1 Dispatch News Guild went public with our intention to fully unionize our shop, something that, quite frankly, should’ve happened decades ago. The intent is not to form enemies. It’s to organize for fair treatment and fight for critical staffing help.

This doesn't seem like a choice made with the fans or student athletes in mind.

I reiterate that I cannot predict anything about the outcome of this game. Sigh.
I don’t know how this game is going to end, but Joe Burrow in the zone is wonderful television.

A little concerned that the first time this season OSU can’t just win on the basis of having more guys…they don’t win.

IU better on both sides of the ball. Not so much that I couldn't see it going the other way in a rematch or anything, but on the night, they're the better team.

Feels like that fourth-down miss will end up being important.

Continuing on this note: Greg Andrulis (USOC, SS), Sigi Schmid (SS, MLS Cup), Caleb Porter (MLS Cup, Campeones) and Wilfried Nancy (MLS Cup, Leagues Cup) all won two trophies with #Crew96.
Today sucks, but I'm not sure it's Sigi-to-Seattle bad.

Wilfried Nancy departs Columbus having won the same number of trophies as Caleb Porter in a grand total of two fewer games.

Movie Idea:
Barabas: a political dramedy in which the allies of condemned American activist Barabas Jones attempt to get the White House Thanksgiving Turkey Barabas’ real name: Morganstern Jones, in hopes of securing an inadvertent pardon. They fail, and just when all hope is lost—

I remember San Diego being super fun to watch this season. Did I just miss this whistle-begging petulance, or is it new?
