JMU fans looking at Alabama like

Welp. Pretty apparent this Auburn basketball team is missing something. We need a glue guy, like Dylan Cardwell, to hold this team together under adversity. Right now, an opponent goes on a big run, we crumble like week old cake. Who is going to step up into that role?

I need this snow globe.

Me every time I hear the TV announcer say Bo Jackson when referring to the OSU running back.

Dadvent Calendar Day 6 - Legends of the Old West podcast For history dork dads like me.

FIFA is trying to channel a combination of Ted Lasso and The Blind Side, and failing, with these kids explaining how the draw works.

FIFA getting Lauryn Hill to show up on time to perform is probably it's biggest ever achievement

Let us be very clear: this baby's rattle is not awarded "on behalf of billions of fans around the world", as FIFA claims. It’s nothing more than an ego-stroking stunt. This is a deeply troubling day for football & FIFA.

LMAO FIFA created a bullshit "Peace Prize" and just awarded it to Trump because Nobel wouldn’t give him the real one

Atlanta. It earned these World Cup matches. Southern hospitality is on display once again for the world to see as we welcome visitors for the FIFA World Cup in a few months, so yall come take a look at the Atlanta hub for World Cup news & travel info! atlanta2026worldcup.com

My wife made up her own holiday and celebrates it every year. The first Friday of December I pick up her favorite holiday drink from our local coffee shop and she takes off work and watches Hallmark Christmas movies all day. Happy Peppermint Mocha Day to all who celebrate!

Day 4 of the Dadvent Calendar - a dad joke. Scientists combined the DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. . . . Things went sideways real fast. 😎

Day 3 of the #Dadvent Calendar - The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Google Doodle game! My son was three when this came out and I had to play it over and over again while he sat on my lap. I still play it every once in a while (and so does he). One warning, you will be deleted.

Ugly win, but a win nonetheless. We fight on. Here’s to a favorable draw!

#Dadvent Calender Day 2 - Ever want to see what helmet your favorite team wore the year you were born, or at any point in team history? Have I got a page for you.

It’s the first day of #Dadvent! This year I will try to post some quality dad content everyday through Dec. 25. This is stuff that some dads (like me) enjoy, but you don’t have to be a dad to like it! Day 1 - Some dad rock - Wilco, Heavy Metal Drummer (with a bonus Tweedy father/son moment)

The one positive thing to come out of the last five years of Auburn football is the realization that none of my little superstitions make a single bit of difference. It’s freeing to know I can wear whatever I want and do whatever I want on game day without messing up the mojo.

At least we won’t (better not) hire Durkin *and* we kept Ole Miss from playing in the SEC Championship Game.
