I never had a problem here. That said, while this app quickly figured out I was a sports guy, it did not seem to figure out what teams I cared about. So I got a peek into a lot of different fandoms I typically wouldn't. Instead of being frustrated, it was actually super interesting.

2. Insisting on Trump's great mental clarity. Frankly, I don't know how you could ever measure that. Trump hasn't been coherent in my lifetime, and I'm not exactly new any more. That said, I don't know that he could handle another movie cameo. So I guess that's our yardstick?

1. Blaming the bruising on handshakes and aspirin is absolutely laughable. While his handshake is legendarily odd, he is certainly not the 1st politician to shake a lot of hands. That's the stereotypical job description, you know? And he's also certainly not the 1st politician with heart concerns.

On the plus side, when the QB from my first couple years released a feature film and came back to campus to screen it, Coach Creighton made the drive down and was very generous with everyone who wanted to catch up. If I were an AD, I'd be happy to hire him. No hesitation.

When he left for Drake, he mentioned he really prayed in it and felt like he was getting signs that it was the right move. I went to a job fair before a Pacers game with our starting QB at the time. I asked him about the move, and he told me "I really wish God would tell me where to work."

Chris Creighton was the coach at Wabash when I was there. He was always great with me when I interviewed him for the paper. I heard from some players he had some unhinged halftime speeches. But we always finished better than we started, so I guess they worked.
