So it is written: I will be eating Skyline Chili at the Skyline Chili on Ludlow Avenue by the UC campus around 1:30 today. Expect my #take to drop on Monday or Tuesday, assuming this meal doesn't burn through my intestines and kill me.

Leave your non-hot dog meal suggestions below.

11W WEEK IN REVIEW. Here is some stuff written this week by people more talented than me:

 SILK NOT SILKY AT GOLF. It's a good thing an NBA team isn't drafting D'Angelo Russell for his golfing acumen:

A video posted by Dez Wells (@dezwells_) on


Don't ever golf, kids. It's just not worth it.

WOMEN'S ROWING GETS DRONED. This was much more benign than I thought it would be upon reading a tease about this video:

The rowing team arrived safely in Sacramento yesterday. The NCAA Tournament starts Friday.

HUNTER STIEBER, INSPIRATION. Logan Stieber captured a lot of the wrestling glory this year, but his brother deserves his place in the pantheon as well for his performance.

From Ross Bishoff of OSU.edu:

In mid-July during the Pan-Am Championships in Mexico City, he tore ligaments in his right elbow. The left elbow tears came on Jan. 11 against Penn State.

“My opponent hit a switch and it was pop, pop, pop,” Hunter said. “Everything I did, there was a lot of pain.”

He put off surgery in case he was needed. To stay in shape, he trained on a bike or moved around the mat wearing a weighted vest. It was a good thing, too, because his season wasn’t over.

If you were fighting somebody you knew had torn ligaments in their elbows... would that make you feel better or worse? Because I think it'd make me feel worse.

If a man can wrestle with torn elbow ligaments (or play running back for 15 games WITH ONE HAND)... what else are they capable of? Anything. 

GRIT. Mark Pantoni, the architect of Ohio State recruiting, retweeted this yesterday:

From there, that led me to Angela Lee Duckworth's sermon to the Seahawks on "grit." From there, I found this TEDTalk. I don't mess with TEDTalks generally, but I watched this one: 

Makes you think; makes you think real hard.

THOSE WMDs. The first first-person shooter... Randy Moss the Boss... Meet the man behind that 1971 Coke jingle... The War on Big Food... This is what happens after you die.
