A few things gave me pause during the Kyle Whittingham press conference, most notably his love for Urban Meyer. I really feel for all of the Michigan coaches who are going to lose their jobs because of Sheronne Moore’s actions. Was hoping Whittingham would keep many on, but it doesn’t sound like it

It’s not even 9:00. I should not be tired. And yet 🥱

The happenings of the past few days have been bizarre and, sadly, tragic. For me, it started locally with the firing, arrest, and arraignment of our football coach. But it grew worse. Australia. Brown. And now the murders of two people, apparently by their son. Honestly, I don’t know what to say.

It’s not as great as Michigan beating them (Ohio State), but I sure am enjoying the heck out of Indiana doing it. And 13-10 is just icing on the cake.

Who knew you could get so tired sitting (and standing) in the cold all day? 😂 #BigHouse

Just beat Ohio State. Again.

Alternatively, I found an AOL disc I’d be happy to share. 😂

Not even 7:00 and I feel like I should be getting ready for bed. I hate Standard Time! 😂

Take THAT, JJ McCarthy haters! Loved it, even though I want the Lions to win.

Sitting in my car with the heat on before going in to the stadium. A pox on whichever idiots decided to schedule night games in Michigan in November.

Little bro gonna do little bro stuff 😂

I kind of knew that two-hour nap I took at 5:00 would come back to bite me.

Knew she couldn’t go on forever, and she lived a good, long life, but this is still sad. Sister Jean brought me so much joy during March Madness. May she rest in peace. 🙏🏻

Just back from the Michigan game and the question is — nap or coffee? 🤔

Just deleted my work alarm, because I won’t need it anymore. 😢

If it walks like a duck . . . .

Another look into 1931, this time from Northwestern. The women at Northwestern went on study strike to have their curfew extended from 10:30 to midnight. Sorority houses also had smoking banned, so the women were lightning up in the streets. Become ungovernable.

Behaviors associated with what is now termed “autism” were first noted in the 18th century. The first use of the word was in the 1940s. Tylenol came along in the 1950s. So sure. It makes perfect sense that Tylenol causes autism.

I like Nate Bargatze and him hosting was the only reason I paid any attention to the Emmys. The idea of how to keep the speeches to the preset length was cute, but if you ever watched award shows you knew it was going to fail. I just wish he’d had a few other jokes mixed in with the numbers ones.

The problem with noon kickoffs is when you get home after spending 8+ hours in the sun, it’s too early to go to bed. But a nap is definitely in order. Oh, and Go Blue!

I love language. Especially the random weirdness of it.

Jim Nantz is spot on. And even though I’m not specifically who he’s referring to, it’s a helpful reminder that I don’t need to think of a brilliant take or two every day. Or ever, in fact. Which is good, because that’s not part of my skill set. 😂

On the horrible murder of Charlie Kirk — and the threat to democracy it created. www.vox.com/politics/461...

Lost a close friend today. Not a surprise, because she’s been in hospice for a few weeks, but it’s still hard to come to terms with. She was the best. I miss her already.

We have to break the cycle of every celebrity narcissist under the sun entertaining the idea of running for president.

If the NCAA truly believed the nonsense it’s spewing, there would have been a hammer. They never liked Harbaugh, and this is them being vindictive.

Moonlight over the water

Some days, celiac can be annoying. Would have loved to have been able to try this.

Enjoyed my work trip to Las Colinas, especially lunching along a canal near the office.

Hey, Siri. Where did I put my glasses?

Nice place to spend a summer evening. Go Tigers!

Pope is definitely a White Sox fan.

Pizza for breakfast. Chips and guac for lunch. This is not shaping up to be my healthiest day. But at least I had blackberries in the mix!

Viva el Papa! Did not anticipate an American pope by any stretch of the imagination. God bless Pope Leo XIV!

I’ve tried to be hopeful that some of the damage being done by this administration will eventually be reversed. But if public lands are sold off and/or developed, they’re gone for good. It makes me angry and sad that future generations won’t be able to enjoy them, as we have.

Waking up and remembering that Western Michigan won the hockey championship was a nice way to start the day. Congrats to the Broncos!

Good! It’s imperative that our system of checks and balances starts working!

a reminder that the legislation requiring USPS to prefund pensions for 75 years (passed in 2006, changed in 2022) has been the root of most attacks on USPS since, and was approved by a voice vote in the House and through unanimous consent in the Senate

Whew! Michigan holds on for the win. Clearly crossing out Ms didn’t help U.C.-San Diego any more than it helps Ohio State. #GoBlue

70 degrees yesterday. Snow today. #PureMichigan

This story warmed my heart. Dr. Zollicoffer is a treasure.

I tend to watch presidential addresses regardless of who’s in office because it helps me stay informed. But I just can’t watch this one. Plus I don’t want to see all of the sycophants jumping to their feet all the time. Although, TBH, that happens no matter who’s in office. It just seems worse now.

I stand with Ukraine.

They had me at “unlimited maple syrup.” 🥞🥞🥞

Well, this has been a lousy day. Was hoping Notre Dame would improve it, but no.

Wasn’t sure anything could be worse than the American carnage address, but I was wrong. #Inauguration

Crazy to think the Lions are the number one seed.
