Ole Miss Falls - Miami Advances To National Championship Game

ESPN— Miami’s long climb back to national relevance culminated in a dramatic 31–27 win over Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl, sending the Hurricanes to their first national championship game since 2003.

Despite late lead changes, including a go-ahead Ole Miss touchdown with just over three minutes remaining, Beck guided a composed final drive to seal the victory, ending a historic season for the Rebels and propelling the Hurricanes—buoyed by a transformed defense and timely big plays—into a title showdown against Indiana or Oregon on Jan. 19.

January 24 · Today's Letter

Dear Uncle Bobby,

My neighbor keeps cutting across my yard every day, sometimes even with a bike, leaving footprints and tracks. I have asked them to use the sidewalk, and they brushed me off. How can I make them stop without escalating into a confrontation?

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Play God Day

Play God Day. That magical 24-hour window where mortals with Wi-Fi and unresolved control issues pretend they know what's best for everyone else. It's less about divine wisdom and more about telling people how to live while your own life is held together with expired duct tape and denial. Basically, it’s the Olympics for narcissists with a clipboard and no celestial qualifications.
