I solved the Saturday 11/15/2025 New York Times Daily Crossword in 13:25!

That was second only to the meltdown against Stanford last year. And I watched the whole thing. Man, baseball season can NOT get here soon enough.

I’d say that was unbelievable, but everything about this 4th qtr, and the game really, has been credibly stupid. Louisville can’t blame their kickers…penalties absolutely killed everything they did. Sloppy, sloppy. Frankly the only good thing about this game is that it’s almost over.

I’m telling you, this game is the sloppiest garbage that will end up having an accidental winner. They’re actively trying to give each other the winning play…it’s embarrassing. #GoCards (I guess) #BeatClemson (if you want to)

I don’t know that we needed a review for that Clemson TD, but whatever. So, now the Tigers take the lead 20-19 with just over 7 minutes left. If my son weren’t at the game, and I weren’t waiting for him to get home, I’d go to bed. And then, of course, Lacy rips off a run making it worth it.

In that last bit of nonsense, there was a lot going on. Fumble, but not a fumble (or a recovery). Offsetting penalties. Another actual fumble, more penalties. Somehow, Clemson didn’t score. Somehow Louisville still has the lead. Again, there will be an accidental winner in this game. #GoCards

Louisville answers with a FG of their own, riding the running game of Keyjuan Brown to take a 19-13 lead over Clemson.. #GoCards

Louisville defense keeping Clemson out of the end zone as the Fightin’ Dabos settle for a FG. 16-13 lead for the good guys. #GoCards #BeatClemson

This is the way! Keyjuan Brown bulldozing his way through this 3rd qtr. So, naturally he goes off the field limping. However a little dipsy-doo trickery leads to a TD pass by Lacy and a 16-10 lead after the extra point. #GoCards #BeatClemson

As this first half winds down, I’m beginning to think that whichever team wins this game, it will be purely by accident—unless one of these teams makes some significant second half adjustments. #GoCards #BeatClemson

And UofL continuing its predilection to shoot itself in the foot, gives up a fumble and a quick TD run as Clemson moves ahead 10-9 just before the half. #GoCards #BeatClemson

Well, it took a minute, but TOUCHDOWN! #Cardinals up on Clemson, 9-3 as the PAT doinks the upright. #BeatClemson #GoCards

Well done defense…although that was mostly self-inflicted on Clemson’s part. Gives us really nice field position though. #GoCards #BeatClemson

Given how Moss has been throwing the ball of late, I’m keen to let Keyjuan Brown keep running the ball. I still think we should be winning this game…but is it because of how much I just don’t like Dabo? #GoCards #BeatClemson

3-3 at the end of the 1st qtr? I suppose it could be worse. It could be better though. Where did UofL’s offense go? #GoCards #BeatClemson

Holding Clemson to 3 on that drive is a ‘moral victory’ I suppose. Klubnik couldn’t miss really, and if Randall had held on, they’d probably have had 6. #GoCards #BeatClemson

Alright Cardinals, let’s take it the Fightin’ Dabos tonight and finish this week off on a high note. #GoCards #BeatClemson

the easiest out for the elites in pedo club is to find one scapegoat and the easiest one is him but he's also the king of the shit mountain that they live on and how this plays out is going to eventually lead to about 2 dozen movies

It sucks to watch locals close. But if you’re in Louisville and looking for good food and good beer, my sister’s taproom, Shippingport Brewing, is still going, and she could use your support. She also used to be head brewer at Against the Grain a few years ago, just so you all know….

Strangely, a Hardy Boys book that I read in one sitting when I was in elementary school. I felt that was a true accomplishment at the time. Having just finished Proust’s masterwork changed me quite a bit over several years. But Zinn’s ‘A People’s History of the U.S.’ made a dent psychologically.

Oh beautiful, beautiful day! 96-88 win over Kentucky for the Louisville Cardinals. That was, hopefully, just the cherry on the sundae for this season. #GoCards #BeatUK

With 4:34 to go, there was a shift in how Louisville looked from my perspective. Suddenly, they seemed like they were playing not to lose. It wasn’t any particular play, there just seemed to be something in body language. Hope they’ve got fight to finish strong. #GoCards #BeatUK

Nothin’ says lovin’ like an 18-point lead over UK in the 2nd half, 78-60. #GoCards #BeatUK

53-46 lead for the Cardinals, reaching 50+ in the first half for the 3rd game in a row. #GoCards #BeatUK

That’s a 41-28 lead for UofL and Mark Pope calls a timeout to hopefully figure out why his Cats can’t get buckets. #GoCards

It is lovely to see the Kentucky Wildcats losing early. Regardless of how this turns out, I’m glad it’s a contest rather than a blowout. I’ll take what I can get. #GoCards

M-m-m-m-Mamdani is going to implement Sharona law. There’s a Knack to implementing it.

If ever it were blatantly obvious that the conservative members of SCOTUS are completely beholden to a whining Trump, it’s now. People will go hungry and there’s ZERO reason for it. Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments apnews.com/article/snap...

on this day in 1930, writer Sinclair Lewis becomes first American to win Nobel Prize in Lit. “Call me a socialist or any blame thing you want to, as long as you grab hold of the other end of the cross-cut saw with me and help slash the big logs of Poverty and Intolerance to pieces.”

The only good part of that is that Will Smith is a former Louisville Cardinal. Otherwise…dammit!

Jesus. That almost miss by Dominguez at first. I’m too old for this nonsense. #GoBlueJays

My wife doesn’t watch a lot of sports, but she’s INTO this Game 7. I thought she was gonna come out of her chair during the 3rd inning bench-clearing. She’s having a blast. #GoBluejays #OCanada 🇨🇦

However, it seems that #Louisville defense stayed on the plane. VATech running all over them. Hokies lead 16-7 in the 2nd qtr.

Isaac Brown for #Louisville is just magical when he passes the line of scrimmage. It’s like he has jet shoes. He’s got Hermes (the god) ability when he runs. Just flying down the field. Louisville up VATech, 7-0.

Lookit…Buzz Aldrin is still alive, right?! Can’t we just get him to punch Kim Kardashian in the face, rather than rehash the tired moon landing conspiracy?!

Heard a Great Horned Owl in the backyard just now. Was not expecting that, but the sound was unmistakable. I’m hoping it’ll stick around until it gets a little lighter, maybe I can catch a glimpse. #birds 🪶

‘[C]orporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed.’ —Anonymous

Man…the stoopid is magnified in terrifying proportions today. And, while I understand that ‘impostor syndrome’ has been completely obliterated at this point, I’m still on guard about appearing as one of the many dolts I read about/encounter on a daily basis. Truly the dumbest people everywhere!

I watched this and chuckled a little, out loud, which shows that, while my optimism has waned considerably in 2025, my hope continues. Or, at least, that’s what I’d like to believe.

Um, hello…IMMANENT

Post a witch 🎃

Well, Louisville’s offense picking up the early slack from the defense. The slumbering giant seems to be awake now. Isaac Brown is a monster. #GoCards

This Louisville Cardinal defense better wake up, otherwise there’s gonna be a Boston College storming of the field. Just letting ‘em run all over the field right now. #GoCards

Thrilled that Joe Davis is leading the broadcast for the #WorldSeries Quality voice, quality broadcasting. I might actually keep the sound up for a change.

This is all just a relatively whiter shade of birtherism. I mean, not that 2/3 of SCOTUS hasn’t already shredded the Constitution, but the 14th Amendment is less vague than the 2d. Briefly, for word limit: ‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States…are citizens of the United States…’
