If I’m trying to keep myself alive and decently functional for a year, Panera Bread is a good bet. Breakfast, soups, salads, sandwiches, fruit cups, and they do lots of limited menu items so you can break the monotony. With effort you can design a decently healthy diet. The problem is I don’t ever “want” anything from there, Panera Bread is just a place I end up sometimes, somehow.

All these intricate helmets are designed for the insta reveal and not the game. Many such cases.

Teams and storylines to watch: - Ole Miss: This is a team that seems solidly in the playoffs but Joey Freshwater has introduced a lot of needless drama. What if the distraction leads to a flop in the Egg Bowl? What if he calls a bluff and bails before the CFP? Long shot, high stakes. Ingredients are there for a spectacular explosion but will someone light the fuse? - Bama: Not in danger— yet. But DeBoer teams don’t have the killer instinct. Bama went from weeks of the most impressive football in the country and Heisman play from Simpson to mortal. There are rivalries where the better team usually wins, and there are rivalries where all bets are off: the Iron Bowl is the latter. Also intriguing is the possibility of a non-competitive CCG loss to drop to three losses. - Oregon and USC: A great race between old and new money to win the PAC-10. Wait, no. A race to be the third Big 10 team in. What are we doing? Anyway, Oregon can finish strong with wins over USC and Washington to maybe angle for a top 5 seed. USC can spoil that and get a CFP appearance for the first time by beating Oregon. Great, high-stakes football between two talented but not quite elite teams. - ACC Chaos: Who wants to win here? Miami has the longest odds of contenders but will be the angriest if a two loss ND gets in ahead of them. GaTech can beat Pitt and get to the CCG. Other teams need help along the way, including the aforementioned Pitt, Virginia, and even SMU still lurking. This race is wide open, and the champ will likely not be the highest ranked team. Such are superconferences. -Texas: To stay alive they have to thump—not just best— A&M in Austin. Oh, and also avoid a letdown against Arkie. Should be easy, right? The voices will be loud, but the non-competitive loss at UGA means a showout against A&M is needed; and even then it may not be enough. The loss to tOSU isn’t the killer. Rather, its the Florida game and the UGA result. The committee looks at that and sees a team that had a late-season shot at a top-tier team, and just didn’t match up.

Rankings out. I thought there might be a chance UGA passed A&M but last week the committee praised Indiana’s grittiness in overcoming a struggle against a talented team that didn’t live up to its preseason billing—- so tough to reverse course out of that. I continue to be unpersuaded by anti-ND takes. I can see bumping up Bama a spot, maybe, and if Miami is sitting pretty at the end it will be a discussion. Other than that, no team behind them with a solid argument for a better resume or eye test. Pitt and USC are good wins, their losses aren’t bad, and they have handled business against P5 opponents across the board. And Navy is beginning to look like a top-tier G5 win. 1. Ohio State (10-0) 2. Indiana (11-0) 3. Texas A&M (10-0) 4. Georgia (9-1) 5. Texas Tech (10-1) 6. Ole Miss (10-1) 7. Oregon (9-1) 8. Oklahoma (8-2) 9. Notre Dame (8-2) 10. Alabama (8-2) 11. BYU (9-1) 12. Utah (8-2) 13. Miami (8-2) 14. Vanderbilt (8-2) 15. USC (8-2) 16. Georgia Tech (9-1) 17. Texas (7-3) 18. Michigan (8-2) 19. Virginia (9-2) 20. Tennessee (7-3) 21. Illinois (7-3) 22. Missouri (7-3) 23. Houston (8-2) 24. Tulane (8-2) 25. Arizona State (7-3)

Gonna be very sad if it’s not a possum.

Everyone dunked on Mike Pence for his “no dinners with women without Mother” but on the other hand people understate how aggressively some young women go after silver foxes with a bit of power.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

Man, truly sucks when your HC is borking the best season ever by basically checking out at the key moment to flirt with major rivals’ coaching gig. As an Aggie I’m really glad I haven’t gone through that in the past two years. -

She wants to be Joan Didion, and is failing. And she’s not close to Hemingway.

It is 2025. The king is gilding the throne room and his physician recommends cures and potions. The peasants are tied to the soil paying rents to the great lords (50 year mortgages). The head of the war council is in his cups. Plagues ravage the land. Medieval ass country.

Y’all need to be following the Olivia Nuzzi shit. She’s cashed in on the RFK dalliance, with a book (“American Canto”) and fawning NYT and Vanity Fair profiles about her complicated and beautiful life. Then her ex dropped that she also banged SC governor Mark Sanford (who she wrote a profile on) and also was Keith Olbermann’s sugar baby for years. And she wrote this:

Anyone but me beginning to think Lane is supremely talented but has been dialed in these past years simply so he can get back to a really big job and flame out in a spectacular way?
