Replacing books with textbooks was a mistake

I think this says more about the state of the Pac-12 than the state of Memphis athletics.

The comments here are Exhibit A of how SEC chanters just don’t get it. They’re all asking for credit for their 9th P4 game like it’s something special😂😂

I've been stuck on the couch recouping from ACL surgery, and this nice pick-me-up arrived: paperback edition of Pox Romana. Release is August 5th.

I created my "Ancient Leaders and Leadership" course a decade ago to shamelessly nab money for a house down payment.
