How incredibly telling (though ESPN will ignore it) that on the first weekend of play after it was declared inevitable that “college” football is going to a 24-team playoff, we have the perfect proof of why it is a HORRENDOUS idea… Georgia, Notre Dame, Indiana, Alabama, and Texas all lost, making it a historic day of major upsets… But, in a 24-team playoff world, NOT ONE of these results would mean ANYTHING to the losers. All the losing teams would still effectively be locks to get in! This is not disputable! But the proponents of this system will celebrate what a great day this was, but with ZERO self awareness! 😡🤦‍♂️🤮

How I’d describe each top 25 team: 1. Georgia - ABC store (Any Body Can-get-it), just don’t drive after visiting. 2. Notre Dame - France in WW2. They technically won, but who’d they beat? 3. Miami - Cuban Cigar, they burn you, it feels illegal, but everyone wants what they have. 4. Ohio St. - Jeremiah Smith. 5. Indiana - The new Indiana Jones movie. They tried to do the same thing but it’s not quite the same. 6. Alabama - Heavyweight boxer. They can throw hands with the best of them, but one punch can cost them the game. 7. Texas - Wal-Mart. They have everything, but what you want. That’s a good product that you feel proud paying for. 8. BYU - Rodney Dangerfield. They get no respect. 9. Ole Miss - Running into a friend on vacation. What’re you doing here…in the top ten? 10. Texas Tech - Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that Sorsby got, is just what he bet on 11. Utah - An old school John Wayne movie. The acting is horrible, the graphics are even worse. But damnit if you don’t enjoy it. 12. UCLA - Deshaun Foster. You forget that they’re there because of Stephen Davis (USC) but they might be better at this point. 13. Missouri - Stray dogs. They’ve lost before. They’ve got fleas, but they’re lovable and reliable. 14. Tennessee - a 1999 Honda Civic. It’s ugly. It’s missing a lot of key pieces. But, she’ll get you to a win. 15. Kentucky - a Waterbed with a leak. Sleep on them at your own risk. 16. Mississippi St. - see Kentucky. 17. Iowa - A closer. They’ve got two pitches, and are good in a jam. But they don’t have enough to go the distance. 18. Oklahoma St. - The first bonfire of the year. It took a minute to get started, but once it got going, it was HOT. 19. USC - Swiss cheese. They have strong taste, but anything can get through it. 20. Houston - a budding flower. It’s not spring yet, but you see something is about to emerge 21. Wake Forest - A Southern Baptist prayer circle. You forget you have them there, and then you realize how powerful they are when they show up. One sec, I need to call my grandma to get Wake to lose so Clemson can make it to Charlotte. 22. LSU - Kenny Chesney. This team has already been sky diving, Rocky Mountain climbing, and spent 2.7 seconds on a bull named the top 10. 23. Boise St. - Bingo Free Space. Congrats Boise, you are in the CFP (for now). 24. SMU - Apple turnovers. They taste so good but they will be the death of you. 25. Northwestern - Athletes Foot. You try to get rid of them but they keep showing back up.

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Bad news for the good people of Minnesota. Somebody is going to have to catch a beating today and it just happens to be you guys

Found myself in Cary, NC yesterday at 5 pm. Ugh

There’s a lot of things we can debate, but the obvious awesomeness of Morris Day and the Time is not one of them ...

El momento en el que el gran Justin Verlander se da cuenta de que la encargada de ir a sacarlo del montículo por última vez en su carrera es su hija. 🥺⚾️

We need more instructors for skilled trades, healthcare & high demand workforce occupations. @presleatherwood @abtechprez can develop the talent our region needs if they can hire instructors. There aren’t unemployed HVAC, nursing, etc. professionals. citizen-times.com/story/news…

I KNEW IT!

Outstanding!

Why not, indeed?

This! We need more of this!

We’ve been talking so much about Faizon Brandon this offseason, but another important player is making their debut today! Meet Smokey XII!

It’s game day! 🍊 🏈

I’ve officially reached the stage in my life where I randomly whisper “Thank you, Lord” throughout the day.

Only if Mama sez so.

Season Nine begins in The Shoals. Let’s go!! September 15th on @secnetwork @johntedge
