As a short-king, I’ve always hovered on the line of overweight according to BMI. At my height, 5’5”, I’d need to weigh 125lbs to be “healthy”. Haven’t been that light since high school. Pictures suggest that I was “really skinny” at 125. Straight up told my doctor never to come at me with BMI.

Is their O-line still holding?

Well friends, apropos of nothing, may I suggest you listen to a song called "Lieber Staat" by Farin Urlaub and/or look up the translation to English. Chilling lyrics living rent free in my head for 20 years.

There is a lot to unpack, especially if you're teaching humanities/history/german.

Fox doing a really great job keeping us up to date on what is happening with dead-ball penalties.

UCF just ran *orbit motion* in the SPACE GAME?

I see you, Frosty… (also don’t @ me, I know or it motion is pretty standard in college these days).

Ah. I see. A team from Florida (near KSC) vs a team from Houston.

Ugh, autocorrect. Fubo will SPAM you with emails.

Fubo will so you with emails if you start to sign up and then stop before paying. 13 emails in 2.5 hours.

I would contend that this team is poorly coached, which leads to them being particularly bad.

Hopefully not another M00N game… but we have a P00M on right now.

Don’t try signing up for Fubo and then abandoning it part way through. They sent me literally 13 emails in 2.5 hours. I unsubscribed after 11, but they kept coming until I unsubscribed again.

Not sure that helps conversion rates, guys.

And another email, even after unsubscribing!! Wtf!

Me: perhaps I’ll sign up for a trial of Fubo since YTTV has taken my money and refused to deliver a service that I’ve already paid for…

Fubo: sends me 11 emails in 2.5 hours b/c I stopped midway through the sign up. Didn’t want to get stuck paying $30 for 2 days of service.

Me: Fuck these guys.

Courtney is ready to burn this MFer to the ground because the Deutsche Bahn replaced his (already overbooked) train with a smaller, shittier train, found a Danish family in his seats who refused to move, and spent the next 4 hours standing awkwardly at the back of a train car.

Let me tell you about when our ICE from Bamberg to Wittenberg was replaced with an Ersatzzug: We found a Danish family in our seats who, when confronted, refused to move and shouted that reservations aren’t valid on Ersarzzüge (not true). Spent 4 hours standing at the back of the car with no A/C.

For a moment there I thought you were describing the Deutsche Bahn.

@hooverstreetrag.org if you are ever visiting Kalamazoo, please allow me to buy you a libation of your choosing and/or host for a sports event.

As a long-time reader of the Rag, and a person who has a degree in History (and got a 5 on their APUS back in the day), it would be a privilege to do so.

Brussels Central Station is literally a 10 minute train ride from the airport.

From there you’d probably need to walk depending on where you are going (or uber or taxi) but it’s not hard to get to the city from the airport.
