2026-27 America East Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll and All-Conference Selection

Huge asterisk here as it is likely these didn’t take into account the late announcement that Austin Green (UMass Lowell) is returning. He is likely a first-teamer and could easily put his team higher than 7th place

Favorite character with the name of a bird

Slides in order: Raven (Teen Titans), Eren Jaeger (Attack on Titan), Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean), Robin (Fire Emblem Awakening), Rooster (Top Gun: Maverick), Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney), Tony Hawk (Real Life)

To count, they must have a type of bird in their name, and it can be their first or last name. Nicknames or alternative names also count.

Last night, Northwestern State Women’s Soccer beat UAPB 24-1. That is a real scoreline.

One of the biggest wins over any team in D1. To mark how bad this was, NWSU was 1-5 coming into this. UAPB’s only win of the season was 5-1 against Central Baptist, one of the worst teams in all of NAIA , they also lost 2-7 to Wiley College (NAIA), 2-5 to USSU (USCAA), and 0-11 to Nicholls State. Would be a miracle for the Lions to even win one more game after this (they still haven’t updated their schedule to reflect their most recent result).

Character gets shot in the neck BUT not with a bullet

Slides in order: Thaddeus (Fallout), Beast Titan (Attack on Titan), Frank "The Tank" Ricard (Old School), Pete Martino (Ghosts)

To count, they have to be shot in the neck with something that is NOT a bullet. Examples can be things like arrows, artillery, and darts. Other things that are not traditional projectiles but can be called being "shot" (such as an injection from a needle or fire out of a flamethrower) also count. It also doesn't matter whether the shot kills them or not.

Getting to class between The Spine and Ellicott

New grad student here. I have two days where I have back to back classes at The Spine and Ellicott. 10 minutes is literally impossible to get from one to another. Any idea what people do to make it work? I’m assuming hundreds (if not thousands) are in this same predicament.

They regain the ability to walk...but with a catch

Slides in order: Jake Sully (Avatar) lost the use of his legs while deployed in Venezuela, but can walk again after his consciousness is transferred into his Navi body. Janice (Anabelle: Creation) lost the ability to walk normally from polio and then fully from falling down stairs, but regains the ability after she is possessed by a demon. Robot (Invincible) is stuck in a life-support system, but can walk again after his consciousness is cloned into a new body, though his original consciousness is destined to die. Nana (The Last of Us) is wheelchair-bound, but can move on her own again once infected by the Cordyceps fungus. Jean (Santa Clarita Diet) is terminally ill, but regains the ability to walk when Sheila bites her and makes her a zombie.

To count, they simply have to regain the ability to walk unassisted under their own power, but the means to do so isn't really conventional (as in, it probably couldn't happen in the real world).

First game of the year went about as well as it could…

List of things that derailed it:

-Delayed nearly 3 hours bc of rain/thunder. We had to play sporadically all through it in a shelter area.
-Our uniforms got dirty/soaked
-Lost one of my pieces of gear just before call, borrowed it from someone else
-The team changed their entrance last minute and screwed up the tunnel
-Our halftime show was at 11:30 pm and we were trying to just hold it together at a minimum since our legs were shot
-They dismissed us early, but NOBODY told us that was the plan until they did. We were all prepared to stay until 1 in the morning (the opposing spirit teams actually did)
-The football being played wasn’t that fun to watch and not that good.

Vets/staff said it was the most grueling gameday in YEARS. On the bright side, at least it can only go up from here…

[Specific Trope] They're eating the dogs... they're eating the cats... they're eating the pets of the people that live there

Slides in order: Baron "Bear" Bailey (Obsession) eats his cat, Min Eun-ji (All of Us are Dead) eats several of the school break room's goldfish, Homer Simpson (The Simpsons) eats his cat, Hou-Ting (The Legend of Korra) eats her father's pet bear, My Grandmother (real life) ate my mother's hamster.

To count, a character has to consume a pet (it has to be owned by someone, so a feral dog for example wouldn't count). It can be any type of pet and be alive or dead when consumed. It also can be by the owner or someone else.
