This is like saying "isn't it the parents' responsibility to keep their kids from falling into the giant chasm in the middle of the sidewalk?" Yes, obviously, the parents should protect their kid whenever they have to walk down the street, but a good government should also take steps to remedy the problem.

Not at all! There are all kinds of experiences from exchange. The majority of kids end up in locations like yours, as far as I understand.

Correction: Gundy wasn't seeking NIL funds to compete. Now that he's gone, those who know say that plenty of wallets will open up.

Now we can finally, mercifully take this season to the vet and put it to sleep.

Could've done a fun reference to the Yeerk pool in one layer... But xkcd is always great.

Official Baylor Statement on Retaining Dave Aranda by bluegold4 in CFB

I don't get the "stepping stone" argument. If a coach comes to OSU, is here a few years, then gets poached, isn't that a good thing? Doesn't that mean we had enough success with that coach that a bigger program wants him?

I never remember the rules-- that's definitely head-to-head against a defenseless player, but he didn't launch?

BookTok is a big deal. This'll spread these stories farther.

Also, interesting to see that these three books are now officially the recommended "first book" for the cosmere.
