Bluey. Super Why! introduces them to letters and sounds in a way that seems fun, and my kids like it. Bubble Guppies has  good songs. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood offers a lot of help with social/emotional processing. Once your kid gets a little older, if he’s into animals and the outdoors, he might like Wild Kratts. My kids also went through a big dinosaur phase that was nothing but Dinosaur Train and Dino Dana.

My dad and I were on the press box side — not near the student section — but the fans around us were, uniformly, incredibly nice. Had lots of people wish us good luck before the game and even more wish us safe travels home afterward. Quite a few came up to us out of nowhere wanting to know if we were having a good time. They complained about the officiating but almost always justifiably. The guys around us acknowledged when Michigan got screwed on calls too.

Agree with the OP that the place was extremely loud. Great atmosphere. Got a kick out of watching the team dance and taunt a little during Thunderstruck. I could tell some of the fans around us were offended by that but didn’t want to complain about it too loudly around us. Anyway, overall fantastic experience. Will definitely try to make the short trip up from KC next time the team plays there.

My old go-to at Ashley's when I lived in AA. Happened to find it for the first time in KC tonight at the liquor store across the street. Brings back good memories!

Saw this one too

in a comment on a friend's fb post.  Not sure if it's accurate or where it came from, but I want to believe it so I can continue being pissed.

I don't see

how your having known things in the past is relevant here. Are you claiming to know Speight isn't the guy?

Apparently he and Peppers are close

Paywalled, but a few weeks ago Tom VanHaaren reported that Walker and Peppers talk to each other a lot. Relevant portion follows:



“It’s an honor for me to play in the Under Armour game because it’s always been the game I wanted to play in," Walker said. "Coming up, I got the chance to see Jabrill Peppers play in it and announce for it. I got to see him go through and I always said I wanted that for myself. He was always a household name for New Jersey, so coming up I really looked up to him.”

That connection with Peppers has been an important one for Walker, but given that Peppers is a current Michigan football player and Walker is committed to Ohio State, it raises some natural questions.

The two programs are bitter rivals, so how does Walker feel about potentially playing against Peppers in the near future? He says their relationship won’t change one bit.

“I talk to him all the time and he’s really like my big brother, and a lot of people don’t know but me and Jabrill are close,” Walker said. “Off the field I could call him for anything. It’s never an Ohio State and Michigan thing. That’s my big brother and even when I do get to Ohio State, that won’t change.”

Walker even consulted with Peppers before he made his commitment to the Buckeyes and says that Peppers never really tried to sell Michigan to him or sway him one way. Having gone through the process as a highly ranked prospect, Peppers knew it was about what was best for Walker and no one else.

“Even with him going to the team up North, he never tried to recruit me,” Walker said. “It was always him saying he knew what I’m capable of and he knew I was going to be a good player wherever I went.”
