I became a fan of Jim Norton in the early 00’s when he was on a HBO that starred Louis CK when CK was relatively unknown. Show was called “Lucky Louis”. Idgaf if Jim Norton is irl married to a man who thinks they’re a woman and Jim hangs on to his heterosexual identity… he was so fricking dark and funny in that show, along with CK and Pamela Adlon. Check it out if you like humor about depressing people.

I think a distinction needs to be made between the Reese’s PB egg with the white cardboard rounded front flat on back and the Reese’s PB eggs shaped like real eggs wrapped in foil.

The foil wrapped eggs are my favorite. Replaced Cadbury crème eggs as my favorite Easter candy

From what I recall, State Farm dropped those policies that were burned before the fire. Then State Farm retroactively decided to graciously pick them back up to cover them. Slow, maybe, but they are still covered when they should not have been covered at all.

In eastern KY it’s mostly white people in depressed coal towns.

Louisville on the other hand is probably a bunch of different races of people.

You’re welcome. Thank you for the compliment.

College football isn’t just a game—it’s one of the last remaining unapologetic reflections of American tribalism, meritocracy, regional identity, and raw competitive spirit. When it’s healthy, America still has a pulse. When it starts to rot, the country is already in deeper trouble than most people want to admit. Here’s why.
1. It’s the Last Great Meritocracy We Still Pretend to Believe In
On Saturday afternoons, a kid from a trailer park in rural Louisiana can line up across from a five-star recruit who grew up with private coaches and nutritionists—and hit him so hard the zip code doesn’t matter anymore. The scoreboard doesn’t care about your feelings, your politics, or your backstory. You win or you get carried off the field.
America used to believe that story about itself. College football is one of the few places where we still act like we do. When we stop believing a poor kid can outwork and outhit a rich kid on a level playing field, we’ve already stopped believing in the American Dream itself.
2. Regional Identity in a Homogenized Culture
Flyover country still exists on autumn Saturdays.
• LSU fans will riot in Baton Rouge because death is preferable to losing to Alabama.
• Nebraska fans still show up in 19-degree weather because loyalty isn’t transactional.
• Clemson and South Carolina will hate each other until the sun burns out, and nobody in New York or LA can quite understand why.
College football is the last cultural institution that lets the South be the South, the Midwest be the Midwest, and the West Coast be… well, whatever USC is this decade. When conference realignment and TV money finally kill that (and they’re trying), we lose one of the few remaining arguments against total coastal cultural hegemony.
3. The Last Shared Secular Ritual
250+ million Americans are increasingly divided by politics, race, class, religion, and algorithm. But on any given Saturday, 100,000 people who agree on almost nothing will still sing their fight song in unison, cry when the band plays the alma mater, and lose their minds when a freshman makes a tackle on fourth down.
It’s not church, but it’s the closest thing many Americans under 50 have to a communal religious experience. When that dies, we lose one of the last excuses we have to be in the same physical space as people we disagree with—and still root for the same thing.
4. The Canary in the Economic Coal Mine
College football is a $15–20 billion industry built on a foundation of voluntary passion. When schools start cutting programs (and they already are—Stanford dropped 11 sports, etc.), when 18-year-olds decide going pro in something else (NBA G-League, NIL baseball, content creation) is a smarter bet than four years of potential brain damage for free, when fans stop showing up because everything feels corporatized and soulless—you’re not watching a sport collapse.
You’re watching a society that no longer believes deferred gratification, institutional loyalty, or physical sacrifice are worth it. That’s not a sports problem. That’s a civilization problem.
5. The Violence We Still Allow Ourselves
Americans have outsourced most acceptable forms of physical violence to the military and the police. College football is the last place where we collectively sanction young men running into each other at full speed for our entertainment—then act shocked when they limp off the field.
We need that vicarious brutality. It’s ritualized, rule-bound, and (mostly) consensual. When we finally sanitize it out of existence in the name of safety or equity, we’ll have admitted we no longer trust ourselves with controlled aggression. Societies that forget how to channel violence don’t become gentler—they become brittle.
Bottom Line
If college football dies—if it becomes a fully professionalized minor league, or if participation collapses because parents won’t let their kids play, or if the traditions are all swallowed by super-conferences and streaming deals—America will have lost one of its final proving grounds for the things we claim to still value:
• merit over pedigree
• loyalty over transaction
• regional pride over global sameness
• controlled violence over repressed resentment
• collective joy in a fragmented age
When the marching band stops playing “Sweet Caroline” in the fourth quarter and nobody knows the words anymore, the decline won’t be because of football.
Football will just be the first thing we notice is already gone.
The stadium lights going dark on Saturday nights won’t cause America to fail.
They’ll just be the moment we finally admit we already did.
