  1. Joe Pug is thoughtful and engaging.  His "Working Songwriter" podcast has some really good guests and conversations.  I sometimes wish they'd talk more about the mechanics of writing songs, but I understand that there's a finite public appetite for talking about the best chord progressions for building tension, or about the glorious uncertainty of the major 7 chord.  

    His latest episode is a good one - a conversation with Bob Schneider.

    This episode has some observations from each of them that I found really relatable.  You songwriter dudes will like it.  If you don't care about his own housekeeping topics, you can skip the first five minutes.

    He’s not wrong. But I don’t think it’s right. FSU should be 3 and Texas 4. But can’t leave out the secsecsec so they got screwed.

    Yeah, if Georgia had won, it would have been the four undefeated conference champions, and we'd be out.

    It's really crazy what the Bama win over Georgia meant for the Texas program.  Had Georgia won the SEC, we'd be looking at a meaningless bowl, we'd have a TON of opt-outs, we'd be bitching about how the entire season slipped away on a last-second loss just like 2008.

    Instead, we're killing it on the recruiting trail, and we might have the best all-around sales pitch in the nation right now - a playoff team, NIL money, first-class academics, moving to the SEC, a coaching staff that's about to put a shit ton of guys into the NFL, etc.

    Oh he is until the game gets tight.  Then he becomes a blowu fanboy bitch.  UT gets away with a questionable late hit, "How can you not call that??!!  That was brutal!!!!"

    This.  

    He starts each broadcast with calm, flowery, scripted praise for Texas.  

    But if the game is tight in the 4Q, he excitedly reacts in an anti-Texas way to every single important play (score, spot of the ball, possession of the ball, penalty, etc).

  4. I had to work yesterday, and I couldn't watch the playoff selection show until today, and I'm right at the point where they interview Harbaugh.

    (let me pause here for context:  I have generally rooted for Michigan, and I see them as a fellow top-flight public university)

    Paraphrasing just a little here:

    ESPN:  "So, anyway, Jim, you got suspended for cheating, then you cheated some more, then you agreed to be suspended because you definitely have been cheating a long time, and also you were concurrently cheating while also running a ring of cheating cheaters.  And you've had to miss a bunch of games this year.  First, for cheating.  Again, for more cheating.  And now, you're ranked number one.  How does that feel?"

    (and now, this is verbatim)

    Harbaugh:  (points fingers upward). "Yeah, thanks to God, first.  It's been, uh....  He's had his hand on this team the entire year.  It's been a spiritual journey for us, so uh, all thanks, all thanks to God and our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

    (Really.  He said that.)
