So three of my friends and I actually ate lunch in the library for most of our freshman and sophomore years, which sounds depressing, but it was GREAT—we knew the librarians (we were extremely cool) so they let us quietly eat together up there and we didn’t have to worry about interacting with other people and by the… Read more

Belated comment on the cafeteria scene: using straws for their cans of Diet Coke is such a nice subtle touch of betchiness. Read more

How do we think Karen believed “orange” was spelled? Read more

Hey, I went to Duke (albeit not so briefly); do not make light of the struggle!!!!!!! It’s hard when regular, rational people wanna beat you up all the time :( Read more

I love going to the movies by myself so much and don’t understand why we have this social pressure that it’s weird to be alone for an activity where we sit silently in the dark. Read more

This one is extremely dumb, but the Ohio State-Duke basketball game in November 2012. I grew up an Ohio State fan because it’s where my dad went and he loves essentially nothing the way he loves that school, but I was a freshman at Duke and I just couldn’t decide who I wanted to win. I got extremely anxious and… Read more

Might wanna check the last few lines of the post, buddy. (Admittedly, I failed to include any made-up dialogue between Bell and his pitcher. Very sorry if you felt put out by having to imagine that yourself.) Read more

excuse you

The AP Stylebook changed its guidelines last year to recommend crash instead of accident when any type of “negligence is claimed or proven.” (Which applies here, even without any traffic violations or other charges, since police found her at fault.) Read more

Team history, not franchise history! (That’s why I made the distinction in the paragraph above, about the record for stolen bases in a game.) But, yeah, he has a looong way to go for the franchise record here, since Tim Raines had 10 seasons of 30+ SBs for the Expos. Read more

An important point that I have now updated the post to include! Thanks. Read more

update: and, as many people have pointed out, checking interference rules here in addition to base coach rules would have been smart of me! because it’s explicitly (+ logically) labeled as interference there, meaning that the runner gets called out. this does nothing to lessen my desire to see someone try it. Read more

Wow, I love this question. I looked it up and per the official rules (5.03), base coaches can be penalized for leaving their designated area or for physically touching any player. But that penalty is just a) warning from the ump, b) potential to get thrown out of the game, and c) “in addition...may be subject… Read more

Update: good night for Seager brothers! Read more

JonathanNathan, I promise you at least one (1) ski jumping blog in the coming months. Maybe even NEXT month, as the International Ski Federation Grand Prix 2017 starts then with competitions in Poland and Germany! (Men only, ladies don’t start until August, per my three seconds of research.) I’m learning already!!!!!  Read more

Send us all your favorite ski jumping moments/storylines/athletes to watch! [email protected]. I would 100% blog about ski jumping. Read more

Mine did! (On a Tuesday, I think, but whatever.) We got out of school at the beginning of June + graduation was like a week later; all the local public high schools used the same arena and there were enough schools that they scheduled three graduation ceremonies every day to fit them all and book the building for… Read more
