Whenever people tell me a reason they don’t watch NBA basketball, I imagine it’s really just over something like this (they are wrong, this is great)

There are little moments like these where I miss blogging

Seems like a good time to reiterate my belief that Hall of Fames (especially their processes) are silly

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota Via DonHarris4/X

Cool, and I’ll say it again here for you too. There’s no shame in putting retractable roofs and domes on stadiums now that we have the means to do so

Boy that penalty stinks

Nah man, the control by JSN there lol

I think this is more distracting for the viewer than not being able to see the yard markers on the field. Also, if you’re gonna do this, make it gray or black

Haven’t seen many athletes comment on the news in Minneapolis outside of Haliburton, but here’s two time All/Pro Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz, who takes the field in an hour:

Meteorologists are up there with coaches for probably having the worst time on social media. I’d even give them a slight edge. You always hear about how “wrong” you are, and everybody thinks they know better and/or more than you

ANDRUW JONES

There’s too much information on the internet for you to be this wrong

Genuinely having a good time watching non-CFB watchers try to explain the Indiana football rise today. You’re doing great sweetie!

Not AI

Anybody need a Big Ten quarter zip from the Indy airport? You got 10 mins

Anyone know gyms in metro Atlanta with a zero tolerance policy on tripods and recording?

Need to add this was an invention by Chris Berman on NFL Primetime for anytime Chuba Hubbard does something. Chuba Missile Crisis might be his best work ever

SEMIFINAL POSTGAME WIN EXPECTANCIES: Miami > Ole Miss 48.6% (adj. margin: -0.3) Indiana > Oregon 100.0% (adj. margin: +28.2) TITLE GAME SP+ PROJECTION: Indiana 30.4, Miami 19.3 Full PGWE list: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We really cannot overstate Indiana football as one of the best sports stories of our lifetime

Because I have service now: the opening pick-six was the loudest I have ever heard Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Present

We should randomly make one bowl game trophy cake every year and tell no one until they go to grab it

Are we blaming the G5 for Texas Tech and Alabama blowouts today?

Maybe this will be the game that makes people stop logo watching when picking against Indiana

Best interview of the year

Flying to Shreveport and just saw the Falcons are up 21-0? On the Rams? AI???????

The days between Christmas and New Year’s Day are prime bowl season (non-CFP & NY6) days

This story Carl Nassib told on RC's pod about coming out in the NFL cracked me up. His delivery is so good!

Don’t let “wild west” go unchecked this transfer portal season

PHILIP RIVERS IS OUT HERE DOING THIS WITH TWO BACKUP TACKLES AGAINST THE SECOND-BEST DEFENSE IN FOOTBALL

Philip Rivers looks his age

Unless I am mistaken, Evansville still has the most recent win over Kentucky in college basketball among teams in the state of Indiana

Fernando Mendoza is awesome

Today is the anniversary of the UE plane crash which means it’s time to read the @harrylylesjr.bsky.social story again. www.sbnation.com/college-bask...

Indiana and Vanderbilt have Heisman finalists in the same year Indiana and Vanderbilt

I think the transparency is good if there’s a consistent line of thinking/reasoning. But we didn’t seem to always have that this year and that feels like the problem to me

Good morning

Joel Klatt putting on a masterclass in microphone security

We ain’t about to agree on ANYTHING tomorrow

This is why Name A Random Indiana Town is one of my favorite games

I know my boy PLANK is watching tonight

Barry Sanders really did an NFL running back career perfect. 10 seasons, got out before a steep decline, and he’s most often spoken about in “no, you really don’t understand just how good he was” terms. W

Which one of you is coaching Penn State?

Yo. 2 more CFP rankings, and I feel like I’m seeing this more and more: don’t let anyone tell you the G5 doesn’t deserve an auto bid. Thanks
