Since folks are asking me if sac state is going to sue over this… Maybe? I’m told their ability to do so is compromised by the fact that other schools in the Cal State university system would not support such a lawsuit (or even their FBS ambitions, generally).

Actually, this is incorrect. All babies look harmless enough, but are constantly trying to interrupt you when you're doing something else. They're also notoriously bad at drinking alcohol. This is because all babies in the world are actually Mormons.

How long has it been since a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup? So long that the last time it happened, Northern Illinois and Pacific played football in something called the Big West and Nebraska was GOOD at college football

okay, nearly an hour in and nobody has yelled at me for writing about college sports business when I should be writing about Donald Trump or something. Maybe this place can have the juice after all

oh, there area plenty of reasons why the Pac-12 has declined to add Sacramento State several times over the last year, despite plenty of opportunities. They don't want them!

Yup, I glue the strips together, set the piece with a few sets of clamps, wipe up some of the excess glue...and then run the board through an electric planer for a few passes. I'll remove about 1/16th of an inch, which cleans up a lot of the glue and misaligned pieces. Not perfect at it though!
