seeing a school from texas as a member of the pac-12 just is gross. as is all of conference realignment. and i'm not even a fan of an original pac-12 school. i'm an alum and fan of syracuse, from its big east days. our own conference realignment has been horrible.

JUST IN (via WH press pool) #Trump says he doesn't have any regrets re: the first two years of his current term as POTUS: "No, I love it. ... If you look at the record, if you look at what we've done, I think it's the most consequential presidency so far, & we're going to try & keep it that way."
Trump quote: “No, I love it. I think it's been a great. I think it's the most productive two years. They say anybody of anybody in the history of the presidency, I think it's the most consequential two years of anybody in the presidency, and I only base that on the record. If you look at the record, if you look at what we've done, I think it's the most consequential presidency so far, and we're going to try and keep it that way.”

NEW #Trump issues two stmts calling out Sen. #TomCotton (R-Ark.) re: so far not passing legislation aimed at stopping biannual time changes (i.e., spring forward, fall back). In one stmt, Trump gives out what Trump says is #Cotton's cell phone number. In the second stmt, Trump attacks cotton.
Trump stmt: "Everybody in Arkansas, Tom Cotton, a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill. It’s called, 'The Sunshine Protection Act' or, 'We Don’t Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act.' For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion. So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE! It will be appreciated by all. Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! The PGA TOUR, as an example, needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments. Likewise, regular Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. See letter from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA TOUR below. 65% PLUS want more sun in the afternoon, Daylight Saving Time (The way it is now!), but 100% don’t want to change their Clocks twice a year. They want to, as they say, 'LOCK THE CLOCK!' Who doesn’t? It’s very expensive for our Nation where you have high and dangerous steeples to reach, like on churches and municipal buildings. Almost everybody wants 'The Sunshine Protection Act' to pass, except for Tom Cotton. To the Great People of Arkansas, please let your Senator know it would be a GREAT Bipartisan WIN for the United States Senate, and for America, itself. Call Tom on his cellphone at,  479-453-0533, and let him know. 'The Sunshine Protection Act' was passed in the House by a Vote of 308 to 117. HAVE THE SENATE VOTE, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

i'm not denying sports, arts, culture, etc., aren't fun and that they have a place in everyone's lives. but at the end of the day, sports — specifically sports — are no different than a show i'm currently watching on netflix but paused to type this or going to a concert or coloring a coloring book
