LOL! Thanks gang, I'm super proud of her. I wasn't so sure how college would play out, considering she lost all interest and motivation in her education about half way through her junior year of high school, so it really could've gone either way. But so far so good! She's only gone to one frat party, but left before 11pm because she thought it was "boring" - which totally works for me!"I ain't the type to bitch, I ain't the type to cry, I will sit at your red light and wait for your shit to go by."

Well done Kays daughter, great stuff. 👌
I once made Miss DeSantos’ referral for French class list. …… was a list of names she wanted to “get the fuck out of my French dept and never return!”"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Marko69, the dean's list is mostly meaningless, but it is a "recognition of outstanding academic achievement" at american universities. It basically means she crushed it, but other than that, she might get to go to a dessert reception with the big kahuna and a bunch of other nerds and that's about it."I ain't the type to bitch, I ain't the type to cry, I will sit at your red light and wait for your shit to go by."

Madison Keys won her first major at the age of 29, winning the Australian Open early this morning. She had to earn it, beating the two top players in the world back to back in tough 3-set matches.
She grew up the daughter of a tennis coach. She was supposed to be the next big player, but never quite got to the top of the game. She was known as a good person, who conducted herself well. Carved out a long solid career and it seemed like that would be it.
She got married to another pro tennis player and a couple years ago they decided to have him coach her and it has worked out.
It's really a heart-warming story of someone finally getting something they earn and deserve after years of good work.

Non NFL football stuff……..
……. But this is AFL football stuff that makes your entire day!
Was up at 6am this morning to watch this traditional season opener “live” on TV from the MCG……. The mighty Richmond Tigers taking on the massively tipped, Carlton.
At one point, The Tiges were 41 points down……. But managed the 82-69 win with an incredible second half performance!
And here is that final goal, complete with superb celebration.
💛 🐯🖤🐯💛🐯🖤🐯💛

Extremely summarised long story short, …. I lived in Australia, late 70s / early 80s and my dad took myself and bro to the 1980 Grand Final @ the MCG….. Tiges v Collingwood Magpies.
Tigers smashed the Pies that day and followed them ever since.
The season traditionally starts with Richmond v Carlton…… This morning was just incredible. 🐯
Another piece of info……. -OZ- , Lions forum member, (Panoptes’ good buddy) —->> he’s a Magpies fan. I remember having that discussion on the AFL thread that TonyG reluctantly started.
Anyone on here remember that? On the older forum format.
I was chatting about AFL and pi$$ing TonyG off with it…….. So he created a thread for it.Myself & LFiJ were the only contributors really.

Yep, that was mentioned a few times as well.
True story ...., one of my daughters pals is an Aussie Primary School teacher working here in Scotland......, she's a Magpies fan. I have a Richmond Tiger logo tattooed on my calf, (the other calf from Marillion Lion) ---->> when she first saw that one summer when wearing shorts, she was like, "WTF? You a stinking Richmond supporter?!"
