I don’t really get pecan pie as a concept, but it’s very good at drawing the safeties away from the targets I really wanna hit at dessert

They will never be the 2015 Splash Brothers, but MSU is getting a lot more confident from behind the line. Just making opponents respect the three would be a huge improvement over last season.

It gets rightfully overshadowed because of what Carr can do, but Carson Cooper can soar. He just flew over the lane on that oop.

Coen Carr grabbing at his groin after slipping on an on-court graphic. These neutral site games are always a mess with the slickness on those graphics, it happens every year and it sucks.

Just remembered that MTG is leaving Congress. God that feels like 5 years ago at this point. Who broke time and why won't it get fixed?

Someone taught my two-year-old 6 7. But he’s two, so he just walks around now saying “two seveeen”

It’s always nice to see people get into the holiday spirit with a performance of The Nutcracker.
The officer was "heading for duty" Wednesday night when his "weapon discharged and he accidentally shot himself in the testicles" in the station's parking lot, records show.

If Michigan State fires Jonathan Smith, they should bring in Kenny Dillingham from ASU. He's got a pretty talented quarterback in Sam Leavitt who might look good in green and white...

The Plantagenets or Henry V by Dan Jones
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Before a housecleaner was mistaken for an intruder and fatally shot by an Indiana homeowner, police had previously visited that residence twice for “reports of suspicious activity” that turned out to be false, authorities say.
'Paranoid' homeowner had twice previously called police before deadly shooting
Curt Andersen, a 62-year-old Whitestown, Indiana resident, had long feared crime coming to his front door and had even designated a "safe room" in his house, police said.

With James Franklin hired at Virginia Tech, Michigan State has about a week to make a decision on Jonathan Smith. If they don't fire him after the game this weekend, he needs to stay in place for next year. You're going to miss out on too many good options if you wait until the end of the year.

-Vikings defense finally gets going
-Bears special teams gives up a big play
-McCarthy is left alive to do just one good thing.

I take it all back. This is the perfect ACC Friday night game
Games like Clemson-Louisville make me want to go back to the time before review when refs just made a call and said fuck off to any questions. This game has been brutal to watch.
