May you continue to be blessed. Stay strong and positive.

Correct. His modest presidential library is also located at Michigan's North Campus, a short drive away from the main campus in Ann Arbor.

One thing to keep an eye on - as we move forward, will we hit some opponents in playoff elimination games? So, if OU loses to Georgia this week, Red River turns into an elimination game. LSU/Slurp will generate a second loss for someone...do we hit that team when it is staving off elimination?

You have to trust Cooper from a ball security standpoint to go this route. Regardless, excited by what Cooper brings.

What could go wrong?

This would never have happened if ABC had its equipment straightened out for the game. I realize that there is chaos down on the field/sidelines, but how hard is it? Both sidelines have all kinds of tech going. Yes, sometimes it fails, but by and large, it is running on all cylinders for 60 minutes of game time and the stoppages. If it isn't, it generally gets corrected quickly.

You look at Oregon and tOSU, and they have a series of play-ins the rest of the way. Oregon has (i) USC on the road, (ii) tOSU on the road, and (iii) Michigan at home. tOSU has (i) Indiana on the road, (ii) USC on the road, (iii) Oregon at home, and (iv) Michigan at home. Both can still get in, but you want to be the team with the better record in common games.

Spetic is on my list too - until he isn’t. Kickoffs are in the end zone, and all chalk on FGs and XPs.

Probably been posted elsewhere, but Tennessee's starting TE had season-ending surgery on his ACL, which he injured on Saturday.

In my mind, Day's flaw was to go away from the run, which may have bled the clock so we may not have had time to tee up on the goal line. The last series, they were 3 pass plays and 3 run plays. Two incompletions stopped the clock. Your three run plays go for 11, 7, and -1, and you don't trust the run on 3rd and 4, leading to an incompletion and FG miss. It may not have worked for tOSU. That's why you play the game.

Emaree Winston should be on the list here IMO.

Success is harder to manage than failure. But, that 4th Quarter makes me think this is a team that will “lock in.” We do have some weaknesses, but the things we need to “clean up” are manageable - like dropped passes. You catch those, and last night would have been a possession game in our favor.

All else equal, you play Sikorski. He has two years.

I could see tOSU being a bubble team, just like anyone else right now except Miami and ND. To me, Sayin is maxed out. Hugh floor, but is it high enough in a talent neutral environment - and TOSU has several tough games on its schedule this year?

Maybe Day lacked confidence in the kicker for good reason. That late FG was dead center of the field and was nowhere close to- not even right hash.

For a special occasion-type place, I'd recommend Wink, which I found reliable 10-15 years ago anyway and an early adopter on the farm-to-table movement in Austin. Excellent hospitality and an unassuming place sandwiched in a strip mall type of thing.

Like others, I grew up in a community affected by 9/11, with untold folks who commuted in and out of the WTC every day, worked in the towers, etc. Family members have their stories about what they saw, what they heard, what the experienced - the mail sent from the towers that they received after 9/11 from people who perished in the meantime. I am proud to have grown up in a community near where Todd Beamer raised his family and, by chance, am now raising a family in the town where he grew up halfway across the country. Every 9/11 has remained a somber occasion since, but in the years that have passed, there has been remarkable clarity about two things - our shared humanity and, stripped of politics, the historical greatness of this country and its people. Every firefighter who worked in the NY fire department deserves our thanks, not only for rushing into the towers to experience certain death, but for the men, women, and dogs who worked what became known as the "pile" at Ground Zero after, searching for every human remain and scrap, and treating it all with dignity and care. But, as the years have passed, we have learned more about the non-uniformed folks on the upper floors who gave their lives in service of their fellow man. The security guy for Morgan Stanley who, contrary to tower security, told all of his people to evacuate down the stairs and refused to leave until all under his care had left. He lost his life. And for our football fans, spend the time to watch Tom Rinaldi's vignette on Welles Crowther, the trader who dreamed of becoming a firefighter (linked below). Crowther went up and down the upper floors multiple times to direct folks to safety. His family would learn how Crowther perished by reading a NY Times story months later about a man with a red bandana, which he carried around wherever he went. May we continue to remember all of these people for who they were - heroes.

Robin Williams has to be in the discussion here…

Would this be for this season?

All because that guy wouldn’t eat dog poop.

Who was the dude on kickoff coverage with the hard hit in the 4th quarter?

He’s worth every penny they’re giving him.

Easy now, we don’t want her to sue OTF.

Do we know whether any of the LSU football guys totally pulled up their stakes in the NFL? Speaking of lawsuits, they might now have a gripe against LSU and its NiL groups.

The SEC is not going to take a hard line against a key member institution. It is up to others to get competing injunctions in their states if LSU hits the road.
