Mark your calendar: Yesterday, Nov. 5, 2022, was the greatest day of your (and certainly my) life. 

The Georgia Bulldogs started the day ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll but No. 3 by the CFP Selection Committee.  Tennessee was No. 2 in the AP but No. 1 to the CFP.  Yesterday, Georgia beat Tennessee, 27-13, and will be the consensus No.1 team in the country and will also win the SEC East.  

But wait, there's more: later that night, No. 10 LSU upset No. 6 Alabama, 32-31, in OT, handing the Tide their second loss of the season, effectively preventing them from winning the SEC West, and eliminating them from the Conference Championship Game and the College Football Playoffs.

Then undefeated, No. 4 Clemson lost to unranked Notre Dame, 35-14. With the loss, Clemson most likely won't make the Playoffs, either.

And as if all that weren't enough, the Boston Celtics set a team record for 3-point buckets in a game (27) and beat the Knicks, 133-118.

Exciting, isn’t it? One last ray of sunlight before the darkness of fascism descends on this fair land.  Be ready to tell your grandchildren where you were on Nov. 5, 2022.
