I like pickles too much and Cheetos of any variety too little to eat something like that.

Today's trivia question: Which Hall of Fame quarterback went to college at a school named for his great great great grandfather?

I got my final grades posted yesterday, including for the Concurrent Enrollment class, which required some manipulation of the grade book program we use to bring it in compliance with the community college. I knew my CE class was going to be a learning curve; I didn't expect that it was going to look like Mount Everest. And yeah, the concert was amazing. I'll give you a full report later.

Back left. Big burner, harder for little inquisitive hands to reach.

Not right now, per se, but Toto opened last night with this song.

I'll take mine with sausage gravy, thanks. And at this point, you've had an opportunity to make all your picks. If there are any you missed, feel free to fix that now. Otherwise, I'll post roster updates soon-ish.

Arnel Pineda, specifically. He sounds so much like Steve Perry, it's a little spooky.

In my mind, the beginning of the end for Cam Newton was that second strip sack in Super Bowl 50, a/k/a/ the "business decision".

Today's To-Do List: 1. Professional development meeting (w/ breakfast) 2. Post final grades for 3rd Quarter 3. IEP meeting for LBP 4. Toto & Journey in concert Gonna be a busy day!

I've seen projections dropping them as far as 6. I don't think the Cougars will care much. They're just going to be excited to get in and to be favored in a first-round game. Neither of those things has happened much lately. Having said that, BYU has a notorious history of one-and-done in the Big Dance, so a first round upset is in no way out of the question.

Cam Newton reacts to Kirk Cousins' $180 million contract with Falcons: 'Definitely alarming to see' Oh, but that's not even the most entertaining part. Denial. It's not just a river in Egypt.

Happy Friday! Go out and enjoy a Caesar salad. Friday, March 15th: Wild Card Choose whoever or whatever you need in order to wrap up your story. Hero, villain, organization, supporting cast, equipment, theme song guy, whatever.

Shadow Lass is acceptable.

If you smile at me, I will understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does In the same language I can see by your coat, my friend You're from the other side There's just one thing I got to know Can you tell me please, who won? Say, can I have some of your purple berries? Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now Haven't got sick once Probably keep us both alive Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline, let us be Talkin' 'bout very free and easy Horror grips us as we watch you die All we can do is echo your anguished cries Stare as all human feelings die We are leaving, you don't need us Go, take your sister then, by the hand Lead her away from this foreign land Far away, where we might laugh again We are leaving, you don't need us And it's a fair wind blowin' warm Out of the south over my shoulder Guess I'll set a course and go

It's Thursday... Thursday, March 14th: Colors Choose a hero who's tied to a color in some really obvious and unmistakable way.

I never thought I'd live to see the day where the Broncos were in the running to finish with a lower season winning percentage than the Rockies, but here we are.

I love Motown puns, but I've only got two or three left in me. Four, tops.

Why do you post this, when you know death tribble will kill you for it?

As long as she's a different person than Gwen Stacy, she's allowed. 👍

Here's a rather bizarre story from the women's side. After Utah State's blowout loss in the first round of the MWC women's tournament, Aggie coach Kayla Ard was asked in the press conference how she planned to rebuild. Her response: She announced her own firing. Wow. Utah State coach Kayla Ard announces her firing in postgame news conference

After Big XII coaches picked BYU to finish 13th in the 14-team league, the Cougars open the Big XII tournament today as the #5 seed. for reference, the #6 seed is Kansas. It's been a great season for the BYU men. The Cougars hold the ignominious distinction of being the team with the most NCAA tournament appearances without reaching the Final Four. They're currenty projected as a #4 in the West. Could this be the year?

Happy Wednesday! Wednesday, March 13th: The MacGuffin This is some object that drives the story. It could be a jewel-encrusted bird statue, or a lost relic, or a glove with a bunch of little rocks in it, or a stolen piece of super-tech. It might even be some cute little critter who's actually half a century old. Whatever. It doesn't actually matter what the MacGuffin is, just that the story revolves around it.

I'm not sure that Spider-Gwen is available, since Gwenpool was chosen earlier. Are they both Gwen Stacy?

...and now most of the free agents quarterbacks the Donkeys were rumored to be looking at have signed elsewhere. So who's still available? Here are the highlights: Jimmy Garoppolo Ryan Tannehill Mason Rudolph Zach Wilson Justin Fields Drew Lock We're doomed.
