February 23, 2016 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. In the tiny nation of Losersville, we can assume that children wear their T-shirts inside out.

Friday, 6 a.m. He has to make the world right. That’s all. He has to make sure the superstar doesn’t try to put every nickel into his own pocket. He has to make sure the kid doesn’t hold his breath until he turns blue. He has to turn this year’s Lightning into last year’s Lightning. […]

Living through the plague? – That’s kind of like Australian Rules Football, right? – In honor of freshman guard Duane Bacon, FSU’s basketball team gave away free bacon to students Saturday night.
