Change can suck. I always hated when people wagged their fingers at me as a kid, telling me that there were just some things beyond my control and that I'd have to accept that life involves adapting to a new reality whether we like it or not. If I wanted to be Big Mad about Rax closing during my youth in southwestern Ohio, then dammit I was gonna be Big Mad.
Still, this is doubly annoying because those people were mostly right. There's an old canard about frogs in pots of water not caring that they're being boiled alive, just as long as you raise the temperature slowly enough, but one possibility that that story doesn't consider is... what if the frog gets used to it?
So I dunno! Maybe 20 plus years of the increasing commercialization of college sports has made George and I numb to the idea of selling the naming rights to Ohio Stadium, but at this point it feels like an inevitability, so why fight it? I'll just continue to hope and pray that it ends up being the International Horseshoe of Pancakes.
- Speaking of which, if any mega corporation wants to pay millions for the rights to a 100 year old house with drainage issues, I'm down.
- OKAY I guess we have to talk a little more about College Football 25. Our own Garrick Hodge has a great review already but I mostly in it for the goofy fake names they give to guys who didn't want to be in the game.
- Ask Us Anything - which you can do by sending us questions to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com - wants to know our stance on sending back food. Spoiler: we'll eat pretty much anything you set in front of us.
- Hey, maybe Kirby Smart and Mike Gundy should, I don't know, start caring about reckless driving. Just a little bit. Or whatever, keep rewarding guys for acting like enormous assholes. Either way.
- In the pantheon of awful renditions of the national anthem, we have a new top contender.
