James Franklin does what James Franklin does

It was a tough weekend being a ranked team in college football. Losses, some of which went to other ranked teams, were being handed out left and right.

In fact, seven ranked teams were added to the loss column this weekend. Five of the seven that lost did so against unranked teams. Somewhat positive about the weekend.

There’s nothing like a ranked team failing to show up against an unranked opponent. Speaking of no-shows, Penn State’s offense was nowhere to be seen on Saturday.

It was the biggest game of the weekend, No. 3 Penn State hosted No. 4 Ohio State. College GameDay and Big Noon Kickoff were in Happy Valley before the game.

Clay was there, as was Trey Wallace from OutKick, Jason Kelce was also there to get to know the students, and even my brothers made the trip to State College for the game.

Beaver Stadium had a record attendance of 111,030. They all witnessed – well, maybe not Kelce – what I like to call a James Franklin special: another loss in a big game.

There is no one better at it. With the loss, Franklin is now 1-10 against the Buckeyes. But as nice as that record is, it gets worse against top-five opponents.

Franklin is 1-13 against top-five opponents at Penn State and 1-17 if you include his three seasons at Vanderbilt. The man can’t win big games for the life of him.

He doesn’t have what it takes. He was booed in the tunnel and heard “Fire Franklin” chants after his latest failure against the Buckeyes. It was just another Saturday in Happy Valley.

Oh, and we can’t forget this exchange Franklin had with a fan.

After greeting the Penn State recruits in attendance as he walked off the field, letting them know “you can play in big games too and lose them,” he proved once again that he isn’t built for the bigs.

He was harassed by a fan/possible student and asked his name. This is as soft as it can get from a head coach.

You can’t get a DUI while horseback riding, not in the state of North Carolina

It would be easy to take my word for it, but don’t. You’ll want to hear it from the mouth of a local cowboy who seemed to have knocked back a few before taking off on his horse.

He doesn’t need fancy apps like Uber when he’s had a few. No, he just takes his trusty horse, jumps on and opens another horse before doing his errand.

Why, you ask? I’ll let him tell you. As the video begins, the man sitting on a horse with an open bottle in his hand confidently says, “You can’t get a DUI on a horse in the state of North Carolina.”

When questioned about it, he simply fires back with, “Look it up!” He adds that he could get a DUI if he drove his buggy, which I assume is horse-drawn.

He looks and sounds like a man who knows the law. That said, I decided to follow his suggestion and look it up. I googled “can you get a DUI on a horse in North Carolina” and the answer is no.

According to Google, what the cowboy said is completely correct.

In North Carolina, you cannot get a DUI charge for riding a horse while impaired. It turns out that horses are not included in the definition of a vehicle in the state’s driving laws.

There you have it. Ride a horse, rescue an Uber or something like that.

Weird but great beer combination

Hi SeanJo,

Great screencaps today! I think a glazed donut with a little bacon would be nice, but I don’t know if I’d go for that much bacon wrapped around it.

But it got me thinking about weird food combinations, or in this case, beer. I used to be a craft beer snob, but started drinking light beer again when I realized that despite all the running and triathlons I do, I had a beer belly.

Anyway, Funky Buddha in Oakland Park, Florida had a legendary beer called Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. It was very hard to come by until they started selling more bottles every year around January and throughout South Florida at their huge annual party. They sold the brewery and unfortunately the beer quality has suffered in my opinion. I heard the original owners recently bought it back and things are back on track.

I will say this is one of my favorite beers.

Sean Jo

There’s a lot going on with that beer. Maple bacon and coffee? Were they going to have a breakfast beer here? If so, I respect this step.

I’m also glad to hear that you’re a recovering craft beer snob. We need less of that.

Lily Allen

Last week I wrote about Lily Allen’s claims that she makes more money selling foot pictures on OnlyFans than she does from the millions of listeners to her music on Spotify.

This pulled Paul from the heart of Saint Paul. He’s been poring over a few issues of True Romance and decided to join the Allen feet photo discussion as well.

Sean Jo,

This fits nicely in the (show it off if you have it) file. At least she doesn’t have to give up the bigger treasures for profit like most people on OnlyFans do, so this is a big win. Sex sells, and there is a whole world of people who invest a large amount of disposable income into satisfying fetishes and other related urges. But it’s funny how her pedicure was the inspiration for taking this opportunity on OnlyFans. WikiVoeten? LOL. Who knew?

But if I had her star power, I would want to know the calculation of her profits if she has 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify. How would I know if I’m getting a good deal for my works based on my star power unless I had that breakdown? As an example, I guarantee that Taylor Swift’s business model is responsible for every penny her monthly listeners owe to Spotify, and if you’re as good an artist as Lily Allen, then she owes it to herself to know what she’s doing. worth on these streaming services. sites.

Best,

Another top-notch breakdown of the game tape here by Paul. I don’t know what’s going on in Saint Paul these days, but he gets it. Keep the emails coming.

Couple arrested while trying to ‘reconcile’ their relationship on the lawn of a McDonald’s in Georgia

This is a response to another story I wrote last week.

A couple who simply tried to reconcile their relationship by taking a road trip ended up getting arrested for doing it in public on the lawn of a McDonald’s.

James here from Ohio has an interesting observation that begs the question: Does McDonald’s value love?

– James from Ohio writes:

You can’t make love, but you can eat E coli-infected onions on your Big Mac.

SeanJo

Funny times we live in these days, James. What happened to the customer is always right? This is yet another sign of a deteriorating society.
