    What do we have to do to host?

    Over the past 5 seasons, one SEC team each year won 16 or 17 conference games but didn’t host. Their average record was 37-18. If we go 6-6 in conference and lose the governor’s cup game, we finish 38-17, which looks almost exactly like the SEC team that gets left out. We need 8 conference...

    Playing off Lent thread, what religion are you?

    This drinking conversation reminds me of the old joke I learned growing up in a Baptist church. How do you keep a Baptist from drinking all your beer? Invite two of them.

    The MSU math instructor email that has gone viral nationally

    That reporting requirement isn’t really enforced at all institutions equally. I usually only got asked about attendance for specific students on academic probation or athletes. I rarely took role past the first week, even in small lectures. Forget about a 200+ person lecture. Not a baby sitter.

    What a damn joke.

    Brian Kelly’s son…

    The headline said he ran out alone and his mom, from pictures online, is not blonde. I took that to mean he was alone on the field. I thought the 2 women and the man behind him must be for a different senior. Maybe I was wrong.

    Brian Kelly’s son…

    No one showed up for him on his senior night? I get his dad not being there, but no mom, sister, aunt/uncle or someone? No girlfriend? Blitz is right - special.
