I'm social about sports, and not much else...usually. But catch me on a good day and I'll go off on an assortment of randomness. Good luck.

Bring on the Cats @botc.bsky.social · 8h
It was one of those cases where the domination was mild, but it lasted for 60 minutes and it all added up. Cats fall 35-16 to Houston, and here's Jon's desultory recap, with very few thoughts:

FINAL: Houston Cougars 35, Kansas State Wildcats 16 | Bring On The Cats
Kansas State was simply outdone across the board by Houston.

The defense so far is responsible for one field goal allowed all season. Oh, and the offense is cooking too. The Cats rout Washington State 34-7, and here's your recap, thoughts, and players of the game:

The Cats didn't give Jon much to THINK about tonight, but at least he got to enjoy himself as they rolled to a 71-3 win over Nicholls. Recap, minimal thoughts, players of the game:

Among the worst ideas floating around is that "the free market" will naturally achieve desirable results for society. No, it won't, not even in theory, much less in practice. Markets don't optimize "good for society" unless you make them.

With Beasley on the court, Purple Reign is dominant. With him on the bench, they are okay, but need help. I know he's having fun, but he needs to calm down just a bit and finish this thing on the court. Save the trash talk for after the game.

[Cats] up 39-25 at halftime. Not always pretty, but always in control. Also, Beas is a different animal in Bramlage, and it's *fun*

Besides red card suspensions not being subject to appeal, I was surprised to learn the VAR officials who ejected Balogun last night were Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Exactly one year ago I was celebrating a huge step in rebuilding my house, getting concrete poured in the ICF forms. Today, I celebrate the four month mark of returning to my house, nearly two years since the tornado tore it apart around me and my son.
