Such a shaaaaame that QB1 hasn’t worked out!  Originally committed to Washington and then Texas A&M before signing with OSU from where he left for YTM from where he is currently transferring.

It really did make it hard to dislike him after he blew up at OSU. He came off as the product of good parenting and just a nice, humble young dude from a solid family. I admit I was kinda hoping that his comfortable upper-middle class background might mean he wasn't all that hungry like a kid from a tough background might be... but alas.

I don't know why this thought just came to me, but for all the crap that millennials and baby boomers take for their respective generations flaws, why do Gen Xers get off scott free for how terrible they were at naming their babies?

As someone who works with children, there’s good and bad to this...

 

The bad, looking at a roster and wondering what in the world parents are thinking.

 

The good, when you get a kid who’s poisoned a name forever, meaning you’ll never even consider that name for your own child, it’s a name you’d have never given them anyways.

 

I used to always joke about how every time I thought I saw all the different ways to spell, “Derek” I’d come across another I’d never seen before.

 

Then it started happening with Brittany.

 

Now I’m experiencing it with Aiden.
