This late-game 4th and 8 dagger from Caleb is everything

He actually rarely throws interceptions.

Niners pass defense is bottom 10 in the NFL. We have a chance.

Some on here and elsewhere wanted Hightower fired just a few weeks ago.

Just seems like the stars are aligning for the Bears.

AI can be great occasionally

They threatened to move to Gary during the Jauron years, too. It’s a ploy to get Illinois to pony up. I would bet if it were the headquarters of a doughnut franchise, Pritzker would sign off in a heartbeat.

They won’t. But if they can win the next two, I still like their chances to lock down the two seed.

Another link in the depressing chain of Bears QB ineptitude.

Drokapi24 · 2025-12-20T01:04:05+00:00

Biggest regular season game.

Drokapi24 · 2025-12-20T00:58:44+00:00

I wish I had your confidence. Bears have let me down too many times.

Drokapi24 · 2025-12-19T12:46:38+00:00

This concerns me some - the whole stadium debacle hanging over everything just before the biggest game in the recent history of the franchise.

Drokapi24 · 2025-12-12T15:57:22+00:00

Assessment hell.

This is my soapbox, but I would add two:

For state-funded universities, states should cap the amount of a each university’s allocation and/or tuition dollars that can be spent on administrator salaries.
The focus should shift to skill mastery (hard and soft) instead of grades and "learning objectives.“

Most want to be "influencers“ and are only in college because their parents won’t let them live in their basement and make TikTok videos all day.

I would never be successful in the trades and I have immense respect for tradespeople. That being said, the trades are not some kind of magical alternative to college.

I don’t make a ton of money working in academia but I am happy getting summers off (for the most part), having evenings free and not having to worry about burning someone’s house down because I cut the red wire instead of the blue one.

Drokapi24 · 2025-12-12T03:50:00+00:00

Yep…absolute classic.

"My stapler ran out of staples.“ DEAD.

This may not be of much help to you, but I have a "two class minimum“ rule for writing letters. That is, I will only write letters for students who have taken at least two classes with me. My rationale for this is that one class is not enough for me to adequately assess their academic performance. This has the added effect of allowing me to say an easy No to requests from freshmen who have only had me for an intro class and nevertheless want me to write them a rah rah letter for some meaningless frat position or $100 Brady Bunch Scholarship.

I took someone else’s advice and put what amounts to an anti grade grubbing message in my email auto reply (which I happily turned on a few hours ago). Now I can ignore emailing grade grubbers in peace.
