Mid-Major Festivus: The Airing of the Grievances

Gather ‘round the table, my friends.

As you all know, today is Festivus, the holiday for the rest of us. If you’re not familiar with this beautiful, beautiful day, please watch:

Per tradition, we will now begin with the Airing of the Grievances. Over the last few days, we’ve been complaining a lot about basketball in Slack. Sit back and enjoy our misery.

Greg is a Missouri fan. Fun fact: when you type Mizzou into our Slack, Slackbot spits out the final score of the Tigers’ loss to Norfolk State. Slackbot is not a grievance. Good Slackbot.

And that’s pretty much it. Those were our grievances for this year. Stay tuned for the Mid-Major Feats of Strength, which we will release later this morning.

Oh wait, one more.
