What a fourth quarter for @FAUFootball, and hats off to everyone who was playing while battling whatever illness is going around! But can we start talking about Owen Cheatham (@OCheatham0214)? He is on the side, constantly pumping up his teammates and the fans. Wonderful energy!

Alright so this is a crazy deep cut I recently learned. In 2006, they tried turning Eugene heel and they wrote an unused theme song for him and this is the only known snippet that exists and it’s genuinely insane to me.

I spent 40 years in the theme park industry. Building a Better Mouse is the inside story of Walt Disney Imagineering — how dreamers built the most ambitious attractions on earth.

In this play-by-play, @davekarger highlights the rare pairing of Gene Kelly with his younger brother, Fred Kelly – marking their only on-screen appearance together in DEEP IN MY HEART ('54).
