Maybe it was Tuesday. They make quite a pair.

Since everybody else is posting first day pictures, here's my first day of year 1 in front of actual teachers, doing professional development for Screencastify. The group from Letcher County, Kentucky, was awesome today.

@espnbillc.bsky.social Incredible connection to the 1990 season. Rick Neuheisel was reading it on SiriusXM yesterday. So good. What an amazing sport we love.

@jeffpearlman.bsky.social Champ Summers in a Pro Keds t-shirt watching the 9th inning in Atlanta to start your week. The summer of 84 was something for a 12 year old. Olympics, Tigers, these clowns, Wranglers in championship, Magic & Bird, #99, great movies and music

Huh? Seems way too artsy for its purpose. It makes me think of when a school district wants to add on to the high school for more administrative space and the architects show up with renderings of the Belaggio lobby.

Another gem from Wright Thompson. What adds to the intrigue for me is that my daughter and Mississippi State are assisting with the design of a permanent Emmett Till memorial somewhere near “The Barn”. #BookSky

Snitches get stitches.

I’m a sucker for two-bar face masks and all helmets from 1978, even the Bengals spell-out.

My mom made it. The back is a 1960s NFL sheet with the old logos. I had a box of the pennants and the sheet sitting around and she did her magic.

It’s “get out the vintage NFL pennant quilt” cold.

Currently 3 degrees here in Fennville, Michigan.

Mississippi State getting run out of their own yard by Toledo but being in the ballgame at Texas and Georgia.

Jeff, we didn’t survive thinking either 99 Luftballons or Red Dawn would happen at any second only to accept living in Back to the Future 2. Screw that. Get joy from giving joy. Can’t wait for Tupac. In the meantime I will watch Doug Williams and Frank Minnifield as Arizona Outlaws on YouTube.

When an L is really a W.

It makes you feel like a hearty midwesterner when you spend the day cutting wood to heat your home, no matter the temperature.

That is until you realize that a better midwesterner would have cut enough already and had all of this done by September. Ope. #MidwestVsEverybody
