(The description of that image, by the way, was just a joke. It is actually still footage of the first live birth ever on a field hockey pitch. Sorry for the confusion).

The Biscay Liquor Store, where a Gophers football player got himself into some hot water recently, is featured prominently on the Wikipedia page for the town of Biscay. It is listed under “tourism.” We love that.

Soon, you will be paying T.O. royalties for your shame.

It is rather astonishing, but just 30 games into the season, the McLovins already have five losings streaks of at least five games. That, folks, is hard to do. It has to break just right, really. To distract you, please turn your attention to the Spotlight on Eileen! It is estimated she has spent $3,700 in her life on ChapStick. Sadly, there are no J. Geils Band Dexys Midnight Runners related questions.
