Surprise Reunion

As Dalton walked into the school, the anticipation among students and staff grew. Jaxon, a current student at Reitz, had no idea that his big brother was back from his service, and the reunion was nothing short of magical. The tears of surprise and joy started flowing.

But Wait, There's More

But the surprises didn't end there. Dalton had one more trick up his sleeve, and it was one that would make this reunion even more unforgettable. He made his way to the school cafeteria, where their grandmother, who had been tirelessly serving meals to students for decades, was in for the shock of her life. The moment Dalton walked into the cafeteria, her eyes welled up with tears of pure happiness.

Big Sky Conference Mascots Ranked on How Easily I Could Beat Them in a Fight

I came up with a random thought the other day. "If I were to get in a fight with every mascot in the Big Sky Conference, how many of those fights could I win?" For clarification: I am fighting whatever animal/person the team's nickname is (Grizzlies, Bobcats, etc.) in a one-on-one setting. No outside weapons being used, just a classic mano e mano fight.

What I've learned is I have very little chance at winning most of these fights.
