Ghost of Colby

I wonder how much merchandise gets picked off the shelves and walked out the door daily at that WalMart?

I’m sure they have those thieves on camera also, but some old guy finds a few bucks on the ground and he’s public enemy #1.

States and municipalities are the primary supporters and funders of NGOs.

However, the federal government does give local governments a hefty chunk of money each year via grants that the locals can steer towards their friends and allies in the NGO community.

I’ve heard this story before. It took a little searching, but I found it. Similar thing happened in Shreveport last year, but somehow they avoided getting hit.

You know Isaac has a friend that hooked up with her friend.

There are a lot of crappy schools in Louisiana, but the top 10 offers everything a student could ask for academically, and each one produces a lot of talented scholars.

It’s an honor for any school to finish anywhere near the top 10, especially a non-select public high school.

I knew they had an easy schedule, but I did not realize they were playing all the worst teams from both the Big 10 and ACC.

2026 Opponents (2025 record, conference record )

B1G
Wisconsin (4-8 , 2-7)
Michigan St. (4-8 , 1-8)
Purdue (2-10 , 0-9)

ACC
North Carolina (4-8 , 2-6)
Stanford (4-8 , 3-5)
Boston College (2-10 , 1-7)
Syracuse (3-9 , 1-7)

Their toughest game is either Miami at home or on the road against BYU. The only other challenge on their schedule is a home game against SMU.

Miami might have an easier schedule. Their second toughest game is either at Wake Forest or Clemson.

Patriot League

The Patriot League is comprised of schools primarily in the Northeast. The judge is located in a county court in Cleveland, hundreds of miles away from the nearest Patriot League school.

Shopping for a friendly local judge in Lubbock or Oxford is one thing, This guy went from Philadelphia all the way to Cleveland to find a friendly judge.

It’s Week 1.

- Fans are generally so eager for football that a handful of decent matchups will satisfy their appetite.

- With no preseason, strict rules limiting offseason and preseason practices, and the yearly roster turnover, schools are increasingly hesitant to schedule a tough opponent in Week 1.

- Weeks 2 and 3 have some dynamic games featuring some of the most highly anticipated matchups of the season.
Ohio State - Texas
OU - Michigan
Ole Miss - LSU

Tommy John wasn’t young when he had his surgery. He made his MLB debut at age 20, and pitched for 12 seasons before he tore his UCL in the middle of the 1974 season. He was 31 at the time.

In many ways he had a better career post-surgery.

- Pre-Surgery (1963–1974): 124 wins, 12 seasons, standard peak single-season high of 16 wins.

- Recovery (1975): Missed the entire season following Dr. Frank Jobe’s experimental surgery.

- Post-Surgery (1976–1989): 164 wins, 14 seasons, including three 20-win seasons (1979, 1980, and 1982). Cy Young finalist 4 times (twice runner-up)

I have two. Both with spend hours outside together the rest of the year, especially cool days with lots of sun. I can tell they get a little stir crazy and depressed if they experience several cold and cloudy winter days in a row where they don’t spend much time outside or in the sun.

It’s a different story in the heat of the summer. One ventures outside for her early morning pee, then barely moves until the afternoon.

The other spends all day going in and out. He wants to be lounging in the sun all day, but he’s had enough after about 5 minutes in this heat. Comes back inside to cool off, then back out.

Neither wants to come inside after the first major cool front of the Fall. We’ve left them outside most of the day before once the heat finally breaks, even when we’re not home.
