It is an incredibly rare Saturday in that it’s finally cooler and drizzly in Nashville and the only items on my agenda are schoolwork, laundry, and watching college football. So … #CnCShowQuadboxSaturday with me? @unclecrappy.bsky.social @ajkuftic.xyz

Kibbie. Dome. Magic. What college football chaos do we have in store for us today? If last night was any indication, hang on, friends. Could be a wild one. @unclecrappy.bsky.social @ajkuftic.xyz

My current quadbox contains Robert Morris, Penn State, Florida, and Vandy. In other words, as close to a perfect grid for my family’s rooting interest as I’ve ever had. This is fun. #CnCShow

Carla Swank Fox @carlaswankfox.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Grab your coffee! Turn off your TV … you don’t need to watch any of the pregame shows. That’s why we’re here. This week: Time, bad graphic design, quadboxes for every game window (!) and the perfect punt. @unclecrappy.bsky.social @ajkuftic.xyz carlacrappyshow.substack.com/p/carla-and-...

@nashseverewx.com So, Andrew, I have to ask … which is harder: discussing severe weather at 3:30 a.m. or finding a table at Jason’s Deli on a Sunday? 😆 Would have said hello, but I had a tired 4-year-old who needed to leave. (Also, Will, the podcast is coming out soon. Promise!)

Carla Swank Fox @carlaswankfox.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Goodness. After surviving four consecutive days of tornado warnings and severe storms in Middle Tennessee, the emergency siren test on campus just now made me jump out of my office chair and grab my phone. I know testing systems is super important but … whew. Too soon.

I realize this is super trivial compared to everything else going on in the world right now, but I submitted 6 classes of midterm grades just a couple of hours late last night. I ended up with a super heavy teaching load due to the very unexpected FMLA leave of my colleague.

Also, the definition of audience here leaves much to be desired. “All of America.” Really? The first thing I teach in my undergraduate audience research course is that if your audience is defined as “everybody,” your audience is actually nobody. Sigh.
