Weird. No wind. -6 is just-6 right now. And sunny.

2. Eric Church and that lady did not do that great of job with the national anthem.

I would have liked to have heard her sing it in some sort of soulful manner instead of her trying to add to his awful hillbilly rendition

Huh. Moodle doesn't notify me when students submit stuff.
Someone followed up with a "just in case" e-mail.
Notifications should be a mindless default setting for this kind of software package. One for me, and one for the student showing that I received one.

4. Take the two starting tackles away from most teams and they will struggle.

I hate Brady with a passion but even I can't find a way to justify not calling him the greatest ever. Seven Super Bowl wins is a record that won't be touched for a long, long, long time - if ever.

Staggering to think that TB12 has been in the Super Bowl more than 50% of his time in the league - 11 appearances in 20 seasons.

Small etymology lesson for today (actually more of a weirdness) - I was thinking about words that are commonly used with a certain prefix or suffix, such as intrepid. Does anyone ever actually use the word trepid? It is a word.

Just weird, I guess. I'm sure you guys and gals(are you there, @Ms3r4ISU?) can come up with some more.

Here's another: how many words can you think of that end in ception? Exception, deception, interception, conception, perception, etc.

But why isn't ception a word?

Why is the opposite of nonplussed not plussed?

 

[VeloClone]

And why do we have two words that are pronounced the same but mean exactly the opposite of each other like raised and razed?

I wonder what would happen if I used chocolate milk to make English muffin bread

Chaser, if your cousins team wins their first meet tomorrow, the second one might have a Facebook feed for the other team against them. Will find out if they are broadcasting it for you.

Radio told me that it would be streamed at KIOW.com. Use the west Hancock feed. Then again the radio guy is confused many times.

The only game I missed that year, but it was the right thing to do.
Turned out I sold my tickets to one of my students. He had a friend do the transaction. I had no idea until after the fact. Kid used those tickets to treat his dad to dad's first-ever game at Hilton. One of those things he always wanted to do and never got around to.

Top scoring performance in a regulation game in ISU history.

Were you using one of our tickets, or did you get in on your own that time?

I think it was my ticket
