Since they’ve reshuffled the deck with the playoffs and many teams passing on bowl games, I’ve sort of tuned out to be honest. I hate all the monkeying with conference realignment and now the playoff system.

It really does a disservice to teams like TCU and USC (I didn’t see the game) by spreading the lower tier bowls out over a couple of weeks instead of the NYE and NY’s Day bowl overload it used to be. I did catch Duke vs ASU in the Sun Bowl.

I always attempt to catch that bowl as I lived there for 5 yrs and SWMBO and I met at the Sun Bowl night before party exactly 33 yrs ago yesterday. We partied with Vern Lundquist all night! The gal that introduced us, was in charge of the handling the CBS announcing crew (She was part of the SunBowl welcoming committee) for the week. I got to go to a week of high rolling parties leading up to the big game…so the Sun Bowl holds a little nostalgia!

I bet.... tcu game was great. It us all about big money now. Which is a shame. I love cheering for the underdog

I wish we had this much snow.

Love the bowl games. The Big 10 has been having a good year in the games. I was disappointed that OSU lost. I was not surprised that Michigan lost with a Freshman QB and an embarrassing scandal with the head coach.

As an alumnus, I was embarrassed about the coaches behavior, the AD for not knowing (or did he look away like he did with the disgraced hockey coach) and a department that needs major house cleaning. Until the AD is gone and the department cleaned up, I will not speak up in defense of my university.

It is a tough sit. There was another coach that got outed too.... down south maybe?

The brush is about 4' high in this area. This would be a tangle of brush, today.

Even high up, snow is slim. Those rocks shouldn't be showing.

Safe travels to ya, wat!!

Just dragged in the door fewer than 30 minutes ago. I thought that Ethyl might have been mad at me for leaving her with Panther for so long. they still had plenty of food and water, so that plan worked well.


My girlie calendar was delivered. My held mail was not.

Happy Thursday, just in case anyone forgot the in-your-face part of today. Coffee. Packin'-n-loadin' here shortly. TDK is over there >>>>> looking at me. It's start the year with a road trip. Got a brand new plan for this year here, since we got brand new circumstances.

It’s much better today. I don’t need the ibuprofen. It might have been a twinge. Thanks.

So happy for you!! But I still expect you to baby that ankle through the weekend. And do some RICE, too - just in case!!!
Uhm - analyst's orders

Postal rates going up this year
Chocolate shortage pushing up costs too

Yuck - stewed grass, dirt, hard pass

So happy it's all sorted out!!!

We were gonna have it for dinner last night but sometime this weekend. The guy was from Poland and said his mom does all the cooking. She makes 50 stuffed cabbage every week and 500 pierogies he said.

I'm gonna need to make a list for when I'm back your way.
Let's add the pierogies (vegetarian for me)

That’s what I still call it. Now it’s called Mega-corporation who’ve bought the naming rights arts center… or some such shit like that.

Ugh - not a fan
Don't know why "naming a building/wing after a major benefactor" hits differently but this one just hits for me

There's alot of people on Lit dating themselves...

She’s a two yr old Swifty

That was a "Way Homer" for me... I get it now Thought you meant as a 2-yr old she was fast on her feet. Those little ones sure can scoot quick!!

I am working at the farm today, but have recorded all of the games so will FF thru the commercials and half times.

My year in Scotland... that's how they aired the US NFL games. 3am... no time outs, no commercials, no halftime show, no talking... just 45 minutes of Pure Football
It. Rocked.
Just make sure you make a pit stop and grab your snacks and bevvies first 'cause there ain't no stoppping the train once it leaves the station!

I’d have to look and see if it works out, but a IU/TT final would be awesome!

I read that as UTI

My cousins husband is the assistant linebaker coach for illinois

I am reminded of Mr Whitekey's book "Elvis Presley’s Pharmacist Was My Sunday School Teacher".

I wish we had this much snow.

Ditto... we've got some but not enough for what we need come Spring

Post of the year!
We are not worthy

You're Scandinavian, so you can't have any.

Did not know that was even possible

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Here’s a better explanation…

I forgot the lower seeded teams have a play-in so the way it works out:

• No. 1 vs. No. 8/9
• No. 4 vs. No. 5/12
• No. 3 vs. No. 6/11
• No. 2 vs. No. 7/10

10 wasn't supposed to win, but they don't teach reading at Miami so they didn't read the memo.

So plant some spinach this Spring for augmentation.

I hope 2026 started well. We had lunch with mum and my friend around. She lost hubby six years ago so we invite her for lunch. But my God can she talk . She is eighty but the vocal cords of someone sixty years younger. She discovered the singing voice of her teens and posts online.

Good morning OM and others lurking about. Well I survived the worst of the storm with no power outages.

Back to doing taxiing this afternoon. And I plan to read some books on Native American tribes that I recently purchased.

Time for the delicious coffee OM.

Any recommendations on the Native American tribes' books?

On a positive note, I love rye bread.
Pumpernickel?
Trick (for me) is finding something I tolerate to eat with it.

I'm sure you have several.

Nah - just busting your chops.
Food and I fell out about a decade ago.
Now I'm mostly a fruititarian with protein supplements. It's crazy but a medical thing, not a choice.
So... if we're going out for burgers and fries? This is what my body wants:

Hmm, except for the banana slices. Lost bananas a few months ago. And strawberries can be dicey... they're a "sometimes-maybe" food

Enjoy the read!!
