Words are very unnecessary. They can only do harm. Gamecocks. Charlotte sports. Ball Coach. F3: Lois.

Sure, Patrick Agyemang dunked on another Championship defender, but in the 3 games I watched he appears to have regressed since his time in MLS, which I did not watch.

Harrisburgโ€™s Catholic bishop apologizes for โ€˜notorious symbol of hateโ€™ on Halloween float The phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei" was commonly posted at Wolrd War II-era concentration camps. Thursday, it also landed on a float in the Hanover Halloween parade.

simple solution here: wipe the church and its school off the map and excommunicate the parents and kids involved. make it absolutely miserable for them to live in the community www.pennlive.com/news/2025/11...

I like how I was watching another game when this post flew by on my timeline and knew exactly what had happened without any additional context

The Big Ten is everything the SEC is alleged to be, part 10,000. (The SEC is usually also that, but the SEC is honest about it)

My favorite version of this statistic:
Clevelandโ€™s Progressive Field is the smallest actual MLB park (not counting the farce in West Sacramento) at 34,820.
The number of big leaguers in all of baseball history donโ€™t come close to selling it out.

You know โ€ฆ with this game now being over, Iโ€™ve come to a realization.

Gamecock football is no longer fun.

Spurrier was fun.

Muschamp was an abject disaster.

Beamer is only fun if youโ€™re into vibes. But for those of us who like football, and love winning football? Nope. Not it.

This sucks.

Any chance yโ€™all are going to have a show closer to Charlotte at some point in the future?

(I mean, I know the Triad is a fast enough drive from here, but it never hurts to ask)

You mean to tell me that a head coach that often presents as reactionary and undisciplined has failed to prepare his team and they are playing reactionary and undisciplined?

Weird.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.
