UCLA is about to go 9-0 with a win at Minnesota, with a back up QB, and a first year coach. I'm tired of the excuses

Robert Duvall vs Mike Ditka in “Kicking & Screaming” will always be funny
RIP Legends

Fanbases were once happy just going to the Outback Bowl, but the media said that's meaningless and winning a National Championship is all that matters in the sport. Fanbases bought into that notion. Now it's a money wasting quest for 138 programs, with only 1 winner.

Let's not forget today that Rick Rescorla was a hero. At age 62, as the director of security at Morgan Stanley and battling cancer, Rick was credited for going up and down the towers' stairs as it burnt and led 2700 people to safety. Rick, when hired was convinced the next attack at the WTC would be by plane. He ran drills with the employees on how to evacuate.
While going up and down the stairs over and over, trying to save more and more, he'd sing Cornish songs that he used to sing in war to calm his men.
Ricks last call to his wife showed just what kind of a man he was:
"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something were to happen to me, I want you to know I’ve never been happier. You made my life.”
Don't forget, heroes exist, and Rick was one of them.
Rest in peace to a legend.

24-year-old South Tower employee Welles Crowther calls his mother from the badly-burning 77th floor: “Mom, this is Welles,” he says, with a large amount of interference and commotion heard in the background. “I’m okay.”
He then tells her that he’s going to go to the Sky Lobby to see what can be done about evacuating survivors and hangs up.

idk if it’s just me, but something about this 9/11 anniversary feels different than previous years. idk if it was the drone show, or all the new stories being told, but a wave a realization hit that this shit really happened. it’s a strange, somber feeling

There is no bigger indictment on how screwed this era of college football is that half the replies to this are people just assuming he won’t be at State next season. People can’t simply celebrate an incredible talent at a non-traditional power anymore.

NEW: Mississippi State’s Kamario Taylor was flooded with transfer opportunities but tells @Clowfb he had no interest in going anywhere🐶
"In today’s time, a lot of guys take the money and run. The money is going to be there. The money is going to come. I wasn’t going to chase money. I wanted to chase a place that made me feel like I was at home and a place where I felt like I would get developed the way I have under Leb."

As bad as it may be for a night’s sleep, I really am coming around to the idea that a society full of men that have sworn off alcohol is a society that has already failed.
It’s like when a dog wanders off to be alone to die.
Perhaps we needed a decade of JBP-clean-your-room to get things in order for the next Great American Era.
A sober America does not get us to Mars.
