Remarkable statistic:
Prior to Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352 - 0 when leading after the end of regulation, dating back to 1869.
Sports are fun, but they’re also a beautiful tool to teach young people valuable life lessons. Like “Work hard”, “Support your teammates”, and “Sometimes life is rigged in favor of those with more resources.”
@AuntieAnnes what happened at NorthPark in Dallas? Still on your website as if it is open, but it has been closed onsite (as if for renovation) for over a week? the people need to know.
"Toby, if we start pulling strings like this, you don't think every homeless veteran would come out of the woodwork?"
"I can only hope, sir."
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Louisville crushed Kentucky. Clemson beat South Carolina. GT hung tough with Georgia, the SEC’s best team. Miami handled Florida earlier this season. FSU beat Bama!
The SEC is obviously a better and deeper conference, but can we stop pretending it needs half the CFP field and that every ACC loss needs to be a season crusher?
Miami is 4-0 in their Top 25 matchups this season with a combined score of 142-65.
Their two loses were by a total of 9 points (one in OT) to the current #21 team in America & a team that just beat an SEC opponent 41-0 to finish 8-4.
What are we even talking about here…
SMU QB Kevin Jennings, since the start of ACC play:
827 passing yards
8 passing touchdowns
2 INT
3-0 conference record
And he's put up these numbers with one healthy ankle.
Kevin Jennings is a warrior.
@SeanFennessey@TheBigPic Incredible cultural document. Mal throwing 100. Amanda with the perfect 2000 girl draft. Van speaking the truth, as always. Had no prob understanding everyone, love the whole crew.
Just saw someone saying using the em-dash is a sign of something being written by AI, because real people rarely use it. This is terrible news for everyone like me who has an unhealthy emotional attachment to the em-dash.
Actually no. This misses the point of Jesus's Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10: 25-37). After Jesus tells a lawyer that you should "love your neighbor as yourself," the lawyer asks him, "And who is my neighbor?"
In response, Jesus tells the story of a Jewish man who has been beaten by robbers and is lying by the side of the road. The man is helped not by those closest to him (a "priest" and a "Levite"), but rather by a Samaritan. At the time, Jews and Samaritans would have considered one another enemies.
So Jesus's fundamental message is that *everyone* is your neighbor, and that it is not about helping just your family or those closest to you. It's specifically about helping those who seem different, foreign, other. They are all our "neighbors."
But Jesus's deeper point can only be understood from the point of view of the beaten man: our ultimate salvation depends, as it did for that man, upon those whom we often consider to be the "stranger."
