Here’s the lede for a [story from an Atlanta television station](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/cobb-county/ksu-student-had-been-dead-days-dorm-roommates-didnt-notice/M4RYY66JE5AVFDE3HWLPLAG6IM/). > A former Kennesaw State University student was found dead in his off-campus student housing unit after his mother called in a welfare check. > > She had not heard from him in about 10 days. > > Police said in a preliminary report Saturday that none of Larry Green’s three roommates at the apartment on Hidden Forest Court had noticed the smell of a decomposing body. Obviously, a very sad story, particularly for the family and friends of this student, but it occurred to me that given how little some college students pay attention to housecleaning, it might not be a surprise that they didn’t notice the odor. ---

Bevin is now due to spend the next 60 days in jail, though maybe those financial records will suddenly turn up and he’ll get out of the slam sooner. ---

The fact Mom hadn’t heard from her son for “about 10” days doesn’t require that he have been dead, and rotting, the whole “about 10” days. Mom might be fussy and 6 is “about 10” in her worried mind. And he might have been away from home the first two, hung over or whatever the druggie equivalent is the next 2, died on day 5 & she called the cops on day 6. So just starting to stink. Lotta ways that delay could have happened. Heck, what if he normally calls Mom only roughly weekly? ---

Well, everyone is speculating based on a terse news report, and maybe reading more into it than is warranted. It does sort of imply that “nobody noticed” an odor that perhaps was questionable. I guess. Why bring it up, if it wasn’t a question? “He hadn’t begun to stink, yet.” ---

I didn’t think about it any deeper than the typical cleaning standards of college students. ---

I will never understand. Why do the stakes feel so high for these guys? They’re coaching 9-year-olds for fuck’s sake. Nothing about the game actually matters. The only part that does matter is teaching kids good sports behavior - and they sure failed on that point. There are a collection of women at my office who self-identify as hockey Moms. Nothing is of importance except the mundanities of how well their kids are doing at hockey. It’s all they ever talk about. Like literally rambling about the statistical averages of a 14 year old. And they live terrible lives where they never have any free time because they’re taking their kids to hockey meets or whatever hockey players do. I’m so glad my son is incompetent at sports (following the hallowed footsteps of Mom and Dad.) Of course once he gets into robotics, we’re fucked. ---

A few weeks ago at a football game for 9 year olds, one of the parents came out from the stands to trip one of the kids.

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I will never understand. Why do the stakes feel so high for these guys? They are losers with no lives and live vicariously through their kids. Their kids’ success in sports is a success for them, so they get a feeling of accomplishment that they probably don’t get anywhere else. They probably care ten times more about winning than the kids do. ---
