John Mateer, I need you to do the funniest possible thing this weekend

Tom Green@tomasverde.bsky.social

Oklahoma still believes it can get the best out of John Mateer. Against Texas this weekend, the embattled quarterback needs to show why. "His best football has been really good, and we've got to help him play a little more consistent... but I believe in him."

your friendly mississippi sports historian clocking in to say i THINK the only other time they did this was the 1971 egg bowl (42 points in the second quarter alone because egg bowl things)

13yo was on the phone with my sister right before halftime and idk what she asked him but he said, “oh, that’s just mom yelling. she’s a grown man, I don’t know what to tell you”

the great thing about free will on a fall day is i don’t have to watch this game and you can’t make me, so let’s take a walk

fun fact: OM fans ages 35+ are more miserable rn than they were before the game, i can promise you if you see any of us being smug right now, IT’S ONE OF THE YOUTHS

my teenage son says I get one more season to use this without being deemed a chopped unc or whatever so let’s pour one out for my youth and RUN IT THE HELL BACK

i met @brianoliu.bsky.social on the old website 15-ish years ago and quickly deemed him A Top-Tier Non-Threatening Internet Friend, despite his INCESSANT and FRANKLY DISRESPECTFUL tide-rolling. in these digital pages is one of the best things he’s ever written. i hope you’ll read it too.

in 2005, Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar for Best Original Song for the film Hustle and Flow ("Hard Out Here For A Pimp"). Dolly Parton was nominated in the same category. After celebrating heavily, they had a nice personal note awaiting them when they arrived back home.

Dolly loved and mothered all of us who were told by our towns we were too fallen for loving and mothering. The queer. The slutty. The barren. “I know, honey. Just let it out.” —— I’ll leave you this. Dolly (and Linda and Emmylou) loving and mothering the wayward son. youtu.be/wWEQDyrbphE?...
