The Rose Bowl: Our game is rooted in tradition, prestige, and history.
Pop-Tart Bowl: Watch this pastry take its clothes off. It yearns to be consumed.
Why don’t college students read books? Maybe it’s because their universities are celebrating AI-generated course materials instead of actual books by actual people that might actually be worth reading.
@SickosCommittee I should go back and snag some pictures but: our special collections library has an amazing display on the Gettysburg - Muhlenburg rivalry. Two PA Lutheran colleges fighting over an old tin cup for 80+ years.
In no small part because I’m often doing family stuff on the weekends AND am exactly the kind of sicko who will watch Miami [original one] against Kent State on a Tuesday night
🚨Buckle up & be sure you're hydrated: today starts a stretch of 56 consecutive days w/at least 1 college football or NFL game every single freakin day 😍
Admins worry about how faculty do/don’t contribute to student retention. A year ago I lent Daniel Chua’s “Absolute Music and the Construction of Meaning” to a student & he promptly dropped out. Stick that in your stupid advising CRM and smoke it
Never got my book back, either…
@garrt Something like this happened to me first week of the season - Cleveland was playing in the ‘game of the week’ 4pm slot on FOX, except they carved out a little bubble around the DC area and showed the Commanders here instead. 🙄
