"If I had sulked, that would have given leeway to the rest of the room to do the same.

I showed up to meetings five minutes early, showed up with a notepad, asked questions and was vocal in the meeting room."

The FCS Football Central On SI site has a piece headlined, Ranking the top 15 FCS transfer portal quarterbacks for the 2026 season that features a familiar name. From the story (LINK):
7. Jackson Proctor (South Dakota)
Jackson Proctor's transfer to Northern Illinois didn't quite work out, and he now returns to the FCS level. He spent four seasons at Dartmouth, showing his dual-threat ability with over 600 yards rushing on 7.8 yards per carry. He also completed 70% of his passes for 2,355 passing yards, 18 passing touchdowns, and only six interceptions. He's expected to compete with longtime backup Nevan Cremascoli, but Proctor will almost certainly be featured in South Dakota's offensive attack.

This is from a FootballScoop a story under the headline Ole Miss assistant Joe Judge makes polarizing comment about significant others expecting children in-season (LINK):
"It is a day-by-day production business. He has to be ready to perform and go out there and play."
"Why I say that is, you need to let him sleep," Judge says their message to the expecting mothers was. "He needs to be in another room. Detached. We had to explain to the mother, like listen, he isn't waking up for midnight feedings."
"Now after the season, he's full metal jacket, you can do whatever you want with him and he can change every diaper. But in-season he's gotta have different priorities."

EXTRA POINT
One day after I complained explained that there will be days when there's nothing to post on BGA, along comes a day like this when I have almost more than I can use. Go figure.
