At work I typically wear slightly chunky dress shoes (typically brogues), dark wash jeans, and t-shirt... but I do complete the ensemble with a sport coat... & people often ask me why I'm "dressed up." 😅😭😭

We were so proper in GP1s day

When I began my professional career in 1989 my mandatory attire was: Dry clean only pants Button down long sleeved shirt Dress socks, belt and dress shoes. And you better have your ass in your seat, ready to work at 8 am Today: Blue jeans are fine Untucked shirt is fine Sneakers are fine If you roll in the office at 9am and leave at 4 pm...you're working harder than most Two or three days a week you can work from home in pajama bottoms and a stained tee shirt Untucked football uniform? Meh...it's 2026.

On another note. Not sure if this actually means that this will be the uniform this week but if so, I think this would be the first time with this uniform that they will wear the gold helmet with the white jersey and white pants. I believe it’s always been white helmet with this combo?

I recently got to visit both UC and Xavier campuses on a little road trip to Cinci. Catholic is not my jam but X seems like a really nice school with a nice suburban-style campus. The soccer stadium is on the edge of campus across a perimeter road along with the baseball field. It seems nice but makes me appreciate that our soccer stadium is basically right on campus. On the other hand, their basketball arena (Cintas Center) is right on campus. Unfortunately it was locked up so I couldn't go inside for a peek - it would be fun to see the Zips play there. Speaking of right on campus, that describes UC's football stadium. It's not even fenced so you could go right on the field any time if you wanted to. When I was there, a few students were sitting in the lower stands reading or visiting and a couple were running the stairs. UC is a much more urban campus feel. I went into the bookstore which had a huge clothing/gear area.
