(TW: Violence against women) Look at this snot nosed punk right here. And listen to the other snot nosed punks in the room. https://youtube.com/shorts/AAXOZfqbTkw?si=zyO0EzmC9OrrsCy6 What is it that Arch found hilarious? Did...did he say an "AI edit of Sark slapping Holly Rowe"? Yes. Yes he did: https://youtube.com/shorts/_45zhFY8Xbo?si=nFYi2MtikiR0Arpx Holly Rowe is a consummate professional. She is...

Get this guy away from a microphone STAT! (Photo: Matrix Midwest) On Friday, September 11, 2026, the Missouri Tigers beat the Kansas Jayhawks 38-21 in Lawrence in the latest edition of the Border War. He moves to 12-3 against rivals (old and new), and 11-17 in true road situations. All of that is great and... Continue Reading →
I have spent the entirety of my full-time professional life in public service. The majority of that has been in higher education administration. I currently work on the academic administration and policy side of things from a system level. But I've also spent time on college campuses, and working in student affairs and student services....

Getty (Originally written for the 2024 MarchXNess Tournament. "March Danceness: '00s". I wound up making it to the Sweet 16 this year.) In his 2004 HBO Special Never Scared, Chris Rock gave us the quote, "If the beat's all right, she'll dance all night." It was a central part of a routine about extremely filthy... Continue Reading →
Alabama lost in the playoff on New Year’s Day to Indiana. Yes, the Hoosiers. Yes, the FOOTBALL HOOSIERS. Indiana has become a monster under Curt Cignetti very quickly, to be fair. And there is a great tale to be told there about finding and hiring coaches who just win wherever they are. However, the same... Continue Reading →
My alma mater is playing in a New Year’s Six bowl game. This is quite an accomplishment given that the head coach, Eli Drinkwitz, probably entered the season on the hot seat.

(Originally written for the 2023 MarchXNess Tournament, “March Fadness: ‘80s One Hit Wonders”.) It can be hard to work on projects where there is a looming deadline. The stress can sometimes be overwhelming. However, there are also cases where being on deadline leads to the best work you can possibly do. The latter was the case for... Continue Reading →
(Originally written for the 2022 MarchXNess Tournament, “March Faxness: Cover Songs”.) It can be a tricky proposition as an artist when you make the decision to cover a song. Primarily because you have no control over what the original artist might think about your interpretation of their work. For example, when Johnny Cash covered Nine Inch Nails’... Continue Reading →
(This post first appeared on my Substack on March 16, 2023.) A year ago today ended one of the longest days of my life. Back in July, I wrote about what happened that day in March last year. But I had not offered an update since then because, well, life got in the way. As... Continue Reading →
(This post first appeared on my Substack on July 20, 2022.) The first sign I should have paid attention to was bathroom frequency. Around the beginning to middle of February, I felt like I had to go to the bathroom. A lot. Which was odd at first, because it’s not like I was drinking that... Continue Reading →
