I'M NOT ENJOYING THESE RELATIVELY COMFORTABLE BUT STILL TOO-CLOSE WINS OVER D-TIER TEAMS

Wildly underreported offseason development: The Pete sells General Tso’s chicken tenders

A meme depicting a woman staring at her phone with one hand on her head, with the following text below: IS YOUR CHILD TEXTING ABOUT THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD? What your Great Lakes maritime history-obsessed teen's text messages actually mean: brb = bell rang bro rofl = rang out for lost (crew) bff = big freakin' freigher lol = Load of Ore on the Lake smh = shift minutes to hours glhf = Great Lakes hella freighter tbh = taconite be haulin' stfu = steer the freighter upwind tfw = that freakin' witch (of November) asl = a ship lost gg = Gitche Gumee idc = immoderate deadweight capacity btw = beneath the waves afk = a freighter kaput hbd = hauler's beacon down ily = iron load yonder jk = just [24] kilometers lmao = lost my abyssal ore nbd = north bound draft glhf = good lord, hold flooding omg = obliteratingly massive gales tmi = too much iron wtf = White Fish (Bay)

I'm so worried about what'll happen when our kids are old enough to have phones!!!! 😮😮😮

How does one accrue enough mindless tasks to actually be able to focus and process what is being said?

It’s Vince Guaraldi Trio weather

“Thank god the ACC doesn’t have divisions anymore. The Coastal has been ritually burned.”

UCONN has more ACC wins than Florida State

Interesting look at Western Carolina's production when reaching the redzone the two years in which Kade Bell was the play caller.

The Gales of November have reached Pittsburgh

Do we think the defense could get a copy of the receipt from Subway to test the veracity of the fact that there was mustard and onions on the sub? What if it was a meatball sub? BLT?

tonight's as heartening as it is frustrating. we shouldn't have needed Trump to get into office to know he was gonna do all this reckless, unpopular shit. he talked about it all the time on the campaign trail!

Covered against a Horizon League team. Could be a lot worse

The Jerry McCullough (I think?) jersey is now 1-0 (1-0 ATS)

Highest percentage of snaps while winning; FBS vs FBS competition only

Pitt has controlled games with the best of them

Success rate on the x-axis, yards per successful play on the y-axis. Offenses in FBS vs FBS competition only

I'm starting to think big with this Pitt team. It may not end in a playoff appearance, but I think 9-10 wins with a Gator Bowl/Holiday Bowl victory is very much on the table. That, by all accounts, would be a resounding success.

This is Pat Narduzzi's second best team right?

I’m three hops from the entire Patriots dynasty. Through two completely different paths

The Big LA Teams keeping their monikers from previous cities still remains one of the biggest injustices in sports

That “clock strikes midnight” shot is *chef’s kiss*

i haven't seen a capital one commercial in a while. maybe they could sneak one in between pitches here

He were *this* close to a “TOUCH EM ALL VLADDY” call

In Oakland, Hemingway's has tons of TVs and food (Gene's also sells Pepperoni rolls for $6 but that is the extent of the menu)

Nick Lapi being very solid in a spot start and promptly getting injured feels very Nick Patti-esque

The NBA 2nd round pick of candy

FBS vs. FBS competition only, the 10 best teams in terms of percentage of snaps with the lead. In order, TTU, OSU, Cincy, Indiana, Texas A&M, Pitt, Wake Forest, Ole Miss, OU, Notre Dame
