Today Colin cashed in his 401k to invest in the skyrocketing oil market as a hedge against high fuel prices. We suggest just buying #E15.

Avg Home game attendance in CFB last season (plus “% capacity” in right column) Data per D1Ticker as reported by each program (yes, I know there are some eyebrow raising figures for some programs that often seem to have plenty of empty seats/sections like USC, Miami, Pitt, UNC, TCU, Baylor, Syracuse, Cal, etc… but many count any ticket “sold” as attendance regardless if anyone actually shows up and some may get creative on ways to “sell” tickets even)

🎉🚂 Our big secret, (or three) is out!
BNSF is proud to unveil today three specially painted locomotives honoring America’s 250th birthday, units 250, 1776 and 2026, wrapped in red, white, and blue and carrying the spirit of “We the People.”
These locomotives pay tribute to our nation’s story and the railroaders who’ve helped shape it for nearly two centuries.
They’ll be traveling our 32,500‑mile network, celebrating the communities we serve, our rich history and the people who keep America moving.
Here’s to 250 years of freedom, connection and the railroad that helped build it.

Grok bottom line: Grass-fed offers incremental nutritional upgrades (especially omega-3s, CLA, antioxidants) and often aligns better with ethical/environmental preferences for many, but grain-fed is nutritious, tasty, and efficient. Both are excellent protein sources. If possible, try both or seek regeneratively raised options for balanced benefits. Look for clear labeling, as “grass-fed” can vary.

The NIL era is flipping the NBA Draft on its head.
Only 71 players entered the 2026 NBA Draft, per the NBA. Down from 106 last year and a peak of 363 in 2021.
That's the lowest early-entrant total since 2003.
College basketball stars are staying in school, overwhelmingly.

The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
Date and Time — April 18, 11:00 p.m.
It was around 11:00 p.m. when Paul Revere left for Lexington. He planned to ride over Charlestown Neck, then through Summerville and Cambridge, and on to Lexington. However, as he approached the Neck, he saw two British soldiers hiding under a tree near the road. From there, according to historian Frank Warren Coburn:
“Revere wheeled his horse and made his escape, retreating along the road to the Neck, then turning into the Mystic road, which runs over Winter Hill into Medford. There, he awakened the Captain of the Minute Men, Isaac Hall, and alarmed almost if not every house on the way to Lexington. His road was through West Medford to Arlington Centre, there turning at the Cooper Tavern northwesterly towards Lexington.”
After Revere visited Medford, the militia assembled and a rider was sent to raise the alarm in Malden, however, the rider’s name is unknown.
