It really is kind of interesting how the Lions have been a laughingstock for most of my life when the first year we ever lived in Indiana, the Colts went 1-15 and the Lions were a game away from the Super Bowl.
(Also, last year they TRIPLED the number of playoff wins in my parents' lifetimes!)
I grew up in Indiana but was born in Michigan, I know PLENTY about the emotional abuses the Lions foisted upon generations of Michiganders. When the three best players in franchise history all have legitimate beefs with the organization...
2008/2009 TCU, Mid-2000s Louisville, The Cal team that got hosed
If you want to go a little further back, you can get the 1996 ASU team that had Jake Plummer on it and a few BYU teams that were wild
Yeah, I remember how weird it felt in 1994 when Penn State became a national title contender. It was like "Wait your turn!" because they were so ordinary in 1993.
Even hotter take: so many people’s sense of place is warped by players like Kane coming through the academy and being world beaters when your academy should be just “guys that could play to keep your club from getting relegated” and not “guys that can win you a trophy”
My wife took a class at the arboretum. It was one of those “that’s cool…wait this costs how much?” things but between having some space and getting some plants from a friend we’ve got a bunch of cultivars we hope will attract butterflies. Mainly coneflowers and milkweed plus a few other wildflowers.
yeah, exactly, and i was smart and got all the bitlocker keys, too, so that's not a problem, plus i don't use a phone for work...looks like it might be a monday problem haha
we had multiple IT emails saying stuff like "DO NOT TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER" until like 4:30 am, it looks like my business box is unaffected, but I can't RDP into my lab box...in my office...
