You may find that work, school, or other obligations keep you from focusing on Twitter the way you should. Thankfully for you, I'm able to tune out those distractions and provide you with a weekly rundown of the best tweets from around campus.
We're less than 24 hours into the season and we're already neck deep in a heartbreaking Michigan loss to an unranked opponent. College football is back, baby!
We're just three days away from the Buckeyes taking the field in Lane Stadium. For those of you driving to Blacksburg, be safe, don't speed (I hear it's a mandatory court date if you get a ticket for going over 10 mph over the speed limit), and have fun.
For those of you not going — go. Even if it would be totally irresponsible for you to do so, go (I have an exam at 9:10 A.M. Tuesday morning and I'm still attending. Don't tell my parents). You won't regret it (you might, actually. I'll let you know).
Until then, here's your weekly collection of the best tweets from around campus.

The best part is, it totally worked. They missed the kick.

My professor just asked me what's my spirt animal...

If I had to guess, I'd say a moose.

Never trust someone who puts hot sauce in the refrigerator
— Darron Lee (@DLeeMG8) September 4, 2015
Counterpoint: What if it says "Keep Refrigerated?"
Idk why I ever go to campus chipotle....that place is always packed
— Taylor Decker (@TDeck68) September 4, 2015
It's rarely less than a 30 minute wait. Guys, there are plenty of other places on High Street. Try one of them. There is other good food on campus. I promise.

This is the most middle school of pictures possible. Props on the find Pantoni. However, we gotta talk about this:
Happy Birthday shoutout to @Austin_Mack10 #zone6
— Mark Pantoni (@markpantoni) August 31, 2015
Where's my picture? I'm beyond disappointed. You preach hard work with no excuses or days off, then give me this garbage? I guess you're not the grinder you pretend to be. If this happens again, I may have to hit you with that unfollow. I can't have "average" seeping onto my timeline.
I just saw the depth chart. I just knew my kid would make the switch from Left Tackle to starting Quarterback this season
— Mz. Jones (@MzUJones) September 1, 2015
I mean, I wouldn't object. If Baylor can have a 400 lb. tight end, Jamarco Jones can play QB. I'm officially team Jamarco in #QBgeddon
The starting QB will be @EzekielElliott
— jeffie johnson (@313_DETROIT) September 3, 2015
Well. This wouldn't suck either.
Joe The Quarterback Burrows https://t.co/Lmz7WiBb7x
— Mike Thomas (@Cantguardmike) September 3, 2015
Or that. How about this: I vote everyone on the roster gets at least one shot to play QB. It's only fair.

He's calling his shots. That's confidence.
Just passed some guy in a punch buggie with a Va Tech sticker on the back window...I Had some choice words at the stoplight #GoBucks

Why are there three five fake books awkwardly sitting on his lap?
When a WR gets covered, trips and falls... It's NOT Pass Interference. #LearnHowToUseARelease

That's it... I'm starting a Pass Interference Referee School.

Pressure makes diamonds
— Brady Taylor (@beTaylor79) September 3, 2015
This was ironically tweeted right before the start of the Michigan game.
Addendum: pressure also crushes things.
Jamarco vs. moms
So, Jamarco Jones thought it would be a brilliant idea to tweet this:
Parents should not be allowed to have Twitter

And of course, a flawless response from Mike Thomas
Comedy Central https://t.co/ghfazURHTM
— Mike Thomas (@Cantguardmike) September 3, 2015
Other solid responses were "in my house" (cause Pat Elflein is just gonna come watch the game on your couch, random internet man), and "History Channel."
Shhhhhhh

This is the most accurate description of Macklemore I have ever heard.

I clearly know a lot about my family) with a degree in aeronautical engineering. I've been watching college football with him for about as long as I can remember, and I realistically would not be writing this article — or any other one, for that matter — if that were not the case. He was one of the few people around who shared my same unhealthy passion for Buckeye sports and is a solid follow for all of you as the Buckeye football season begins.
