The slogan puts a spin on the “Kiss me, I’m Irish” phrase that appears on many pieces of St. Patrick’s Day merchandise. The phrase The Iron Pig Smokehouse is using instead reads, “Kiss me, I’m contagious.” The owner of the barbecue joint, located in Gaylord, told MLive.com the spin on the phrase is not a reference to the coronavirus pandemic, as some critics assumed. “A lot of people are quick to be upset about the conclusion of ‘kiss me, I’m contagious’ about it having something to do with COVID,” restaurant owner Ian Murphy told the news outlet....

However, this season they’ve been allowed a third to help raise money for charities helping with disaster relief efforts and teams aren’t thinking twice about putting their talents on display for the betterment of others....

These are the top two teams in the Big Ten? It's almost hard to believe, but No. 3 Michigan State and No. 21 Michigan are the only teams left in the Big Ten without a conference loss, and everyone else in the league has at least two.

This would indicate that the majority of those apprehended likely landed in ICE detention upon attempting to illegally cross into the United States....
