Ian’s Playoff Hate Rankings* from Most to Least Hated (*=I have a weird thing where being awesome/deserving can overcome petty hatred) Oregon Hitler Miami (shouldn’t be in) TAMU Oklahoma Satan Ole Miss JMU (over-dog.) tOSU (❤️ this version) UGA Bama (love KDB, sorry guys) Indiana Texas Tech Tulane

Apple knows where I am, where all of my devices are and the words I’ll use to finish this sentence, but can’t sync my phone contacts to iMessage on my laptop.

Blue Drew Barrymore Could’ve Sworn She Saw James Cameron On Schedule

Bama in a boring one. (17-9 or something. Never close. Never interesting.) TAMU messy but Miami is never in reach. Ole Miss gets 29 personal fouls, wins by 17-20. JMU gives me hope when I shut my phone off for my kids’ musical only to find them lose by 28 at intermission. May want to make plans.

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #6: The Santa Clause This was the one @jacketdan.bsky.social Tim Allen. 90s. A single line in the open that is 😬. But dive in and the movie stands the fuck up. Didn’t love it when it was released. I do now. Tim Allen’s best work. www.imdb.com/title/tt0111...

If we are so deluded to believe that our favorite local coffee shop would exist without Starbucks building the market, we have gone round the bend. Want me to leave and go to Starbucks? Do this to me. I know they’re assholes. Don’t care. You’re worse. www.instagram.com/reel/DPRIZUr...

If your program has been to a playoff game, your life is the Socratic Pleasure Principal (“there is no pleasure, merely an absence of pain.”) But if you have a natty in the last 5 years or 2 in the 2000s, you don’t get to self-loathe in public. Our culture is not your costume.

Lol, and also, lmao

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #7: Elf We’re in it now. The absolute all-timers. Classic scenes, solid humor, a fucking narwhal… Replace Zooey Deschanel with a mediocre actor with a mediocre voice and it jumps into the top 3-4! www.imdb.com/title/tt0319...

Couldn’t sleep and took a gummy. Didn’t exactly do math on when the alarm would go off. This workout is weird.

Ever hear a song and realize how lonely and depressed you were at 14 and just thought (perhaps accurately) that that was entirely normal? The song when Santa gets locked up in Miracle on 34th St. (You know, come to think of it, if I knew this song at 14, I wouldn’t want to be my friend either.)

Oh, so KDB has a shopping list for Bama and he just hired a person shopper. www.on3.com/news/alabama...

My kids have “tech” for their theatre company all week and I’m getting home from pickup at 10/1015. Woke me up and I couldn’t sleep until 1115/1130. Alarm still goes off at 440. I feel like I have the flu.

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #8: The Holiday God I want to hate this movie. Cant stand Jude Law or Cameron Diaz. Timeline doesn’t make sense. Locomotion through LA is insanely wrong. But goddamn is it charming. Can watch year-round. Absolute heat. www.imdb.com/title/tt0457...

On Miracle on 34th St, the villain owner of “Shoppers Express” having war figurines in formation inside of his all charcoal grey office is a wild means of telling everyone he’s bad.

What's good is that the ACC isnt going to have a bonkers schedule and tiebreaker situation next season like they did this year. They will in fact have a worse one

Oh good. Horny online dudes have made their way over here. And they’re libs, so they’re posing as “feminists” when they’re just horny dudes with open minds. Block season in full swing…

Biff Poggi coaches Michigan in 2026. Final answer.

I’m confused, why aren’t there weird ASU fans in the replies? I thought every transfer was going there and your coach—who is definitely talking to Michigan—was never leaving? I mean—don’t you guys have a tickler for the number “69” regardless of the topic?

Max Playoff Wins: .1 Wins (if their opponents coaching shifts leave them flat, there’s a wild prayer): JMU/Tulane 1: Miami, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, TAMU (Miami is terrible but TAMU isn’t great. OSU will murder either.) 2: Oregon, Indiana (IU’s injury I think keeps them from a NT. Oregon…

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #9: The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special The people who can’t have fun w Marvel are the same ones who can’t enjoy Xmas movies, so I won’t waste time. Great original songs, hilarious beginning to end, lots of Kevin Bacon. 10/10. www.imdb.com/title/tt1362...

We need at least one holiday a quarter where people are encouraged to give away candied nuts.

I have probably unsubscribed from 40 email lists today and think my volume is increasing somehow.

My sources say that his list is three schools, all need a quarterback for 2026: Ohio State, Texas, Puget Sound

Why would this person post Michigan’s coach in an ASU message?

Please don’t go to James Madison dear boy. You’ve suffered enough.

Oh the Wordle guys watched Love Actually last night. Cool.

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #10: Miracle on 34th St (94) This movie is pretty as hell. Comic book colors (same greens/reds/etc.) Attenborough sets the standard all Santas are measured by. Allison Janney being a bitch. Rare superior remake but it HITS. www.imdb.com/title/tt0110...

Ours will always go to 11. RIP.

Oh sweet Jesus people.com/rob-reiner-w...

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #11: The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special 2020 Christmas is not one anyone wants to repeat but it gave us an absolute banger. All ages hilarious. Fun story. Fantastic. “ITS A WRAP!!!” www.imdb.com/title/tt1288...

Some thoughts on Fisch-igan: Why he would take it: -It’s Michigan. What could blow it up: -The moneyed at Michigan are committed to Underwood (financially and emotionally.) A former Fisch QB told me that he could see Fisch killing the deal because he wants Demond Williams Jr as the QB. More so—

THE WASHINGTON HUSKIES WIN THE FINAL BUCKED UP LA BOWL HOSTED BY GRONK BEVEL EM

Good season for Fisch and Williams. Not great, but significant improvement. How about one more?

End of 3 in SoFi. All 33 fans still on their feet cheering.

Boise is so fucking bad

He was so open he ran out of the wide angle replay

Demond just missed his second easy td pass of 40+

Boise won a conference? PAC-12 2.0 is going to be a sad, sad two year experiment before bankruptcy.

Is Jedd going to throw this game out of loyalty to a one legged rb?

UW looks like absolute shit. Absolutely no energy in here.

Boise observations: -band seems to have taken Phwntok from Bama’s band -a fan did the basketball “you can’t do that” chant on a UW penalty. Lame

Jokes aside, four HS students from the Compton Performing Arts Academy just gave the best rendition of the National Anthem I’ve ever heard.

Absolute scenes 15 mins before kickoff at the Bucked Up LA Bowl featuring Gronk.

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #12: A Bad Mom’s Christmas Didn’t see the original but will probably like it. Absolutely hilarious. Fun as hell. Couldn’t have gone in with lower expectations and left happier. www.imdb.com/title/tt6359...

Alright. One last time. Let’s do this. Go Dawgs.

Ian’s Top 50 Christmas Movies #13: Home Alone 2 Ya ya, the cameo. We know. They took a perfect formula, added 800mg of creatine and got another absolute banger. The shame is that they kept going post-Macauley. I refuse to watch them. This is my closure. www.imdb.com/title/tt0104...
