WHO is excited for Superb Owl weekend? 🦉

These owls from the Library's Japanese prints and drawings collection don't seem that thrilled, actually, although it's sure to be a hoot.

They're enthusiastic about Bad Bunny, but they may not understand that he's a man, not a delicious small mammal.

Finally some positive Rutgers news! I’m genuinely shocked (and sooo relieved) that they tapped someone not named Greg Schiano. #Rutgers
Sources: Rutgers has zeroed in on South Dakota head coach Travis Johansen as the program’s next defensive coordinator.

Johansen went 10-5 in his first year leading the Coyotes, reaching the FCS quarterfinals, after six years as their defensive coordinator.

The best part of the march today is when the demonstrators started chanting "ICE DEEZ NUTS" (objectively hilarious) and after a bit the little old lady marching near me leans close and says, "So . . . I just don't know what that means." And I had to explain it to her.

The regime is losing the PR battle by New York Jets margins and they know it
when both barstool bros and kurt warner are voicing disgust, the outrage at ICE has truly broken containment across a spectrum

“I don't usually use the phrase "RU Screw," but that's very nearly what happened after this awful foul call on Lino Mark. Tariq Francis made sure they'd win anyway.”

It's like Monangai personally sets out to get at least one of the C decals on his helmet wrecked in every game.

Steve Cohen needs to fire Stearns. His philosophy: “Don’t invest too much money in relief pitchers, regardless of who they are.” $@&%!!!! 😖

I’m not mad, just disappointed. And also oddly relieved - it’s nice not to have to watch any more of this 2025 team.

Keli Zinn had a big hand in things at LSU the past few years, most recently with the rev-share plan and the new arena project. Comes after Rutgers hired former LSU president William Tate earlier this summer.
