So the guy who says people should dress better on airplanes and not wear sweats or leggings etc. also thinks there are people who want to work up a sweat working out while waiting for their plane (and, I guess, also people who want to sit next to well-dressed sweaty swole dudes)?
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

I know this is a minor point, but it sticks in my craw. Another thing about refusing to go to a bowl is that it deprives the bands of their opportunity for one of the best rewards of being in a college marching band. 1/3

SMU now 2-1 in the SEC after an overtime win against the Aggies. 1 more SEC game to go next week. Rank us you cowards!

Today I'm wearing a vintage sweatshirt from the only bowl game I ever marched in. Almost 30 years ago.

I guess if my first alma mater shit the bed when handed a golden opportunity to sneak into the CFP, I can take solace in the fact that my other alma mater has embraced the opportunity, even if it's bad for the conference.

That was fun!! Next up, rematch against Purdue. This is a better team than when we played them in September.

Taking in volleyball round 2. Long stoppage for a nosebleed and a jersey swap. SMU rolled Florida in 1st set. More even in 2nd set.

So happy that someone in this household 's team actually capitalized on a huge opportunity. And that buying tickets to the Cotton Bowl last week didn't jinx them. #WreckEm

Impeachment is not a distraction. It is the Constitutionally provided remedy for tyranny. The founders gave us a tool for exactly this situation. Choosing not to use is it is absurd and unpatriotic.

An unexpected win for the ACC!
Taking in an ACC SEC Challenge matchup between SMU & Arkansas. New coach & new roster for SMU - not 1 player was here last year. Crucially, picked up my 3rd Peruna bobblehead in a series of 4. #ACCPowerhouse

My favorite thing about this AI sanctions order out of ED Mich is that the pro se plaintiffs claimed poverty to avoid monetary sanctions, but the court used the fact that they pay 20/mon for ChatGPT Plus to order they pay $300 each. law.justia.com/cases/federa...

Oreos. Don't want them alone, in ice cream, in shakes, in a pie crust, cheesecake, and certainly not by themselves.
Does anyone else have a food they hate beyond reason and just won't eat no matter how well someone prepares it? I don't necessarily mean a whole dish, it can be a single ingredient. For some people it's the thing where cilantro tastes like soap to them.

Wait, I thought of another one, though I haven't seen it in a while and may have stupidly given it away as a prize at one of our Olympic parties -- A paper jacket with the 1992 dream team that my dad got by collecting Corn Flakes box tops.

I have accumulated a lot of random old SMU memorabilia from a short Ebay phase 20 years ago, most of which is so obscure I don't even remember what all I have--game programs, commerative coins, etc. I have pieces of the floor of Cameron Indoor and Moody Coliseum before they redid the floors there.
What is the most "obscure" piece of sports memorabilia that you own? Why do you have it?

On our visit to Manhattan this fall, overheard a gaggle of 60+ white men chatting while waiting for dinner. In addition to having predictable opinions about who Superbowl halftime should feature instead of Bad Bunny, all expressed strong desire for Klein to come home. Looks like they manifested it.
Nothing is absolutely confirmed yet, but there is way too much smoke from everywhere, including College Station.

I know this is about Penn State, but excuse me, how does Army have 71 commits? The entire current team cannot be graduating.
If Penn State doesn’t land a bring-a-roster head coach, this is… uh… yeah this might get rough.
