Thanks for posting. I had a (long) short story published about a couple who goes “on tour” with Sting. There’s a page-long discussion about “Roxanne” towards the end. www.eclectica.org/v24n3/finner...

My story in the Thieving Magpie.

My latest short story now appears in Same Faces Collective. It’s called “Daily Losses.” It’s literary but features dogs and sports. www.samefacescollective.com/post/daily-l...

Enjoy the outdoors in whatever way works for you. I biked to a frozen lake, where I saw one person ice fishing and another using a sail to scoot across the lake.

Halftime for the Bonnies. 2 early fouls called Moore 1, just 1, 3-pointer made 0, zero, NO fouls called on Joes. And yet we got a tie game.

Sources say she is still more likely to have a spot on the 2028 Olympic team than Caitlin Clark.

Happy 10th birthday, Shakespeare!

Bonas has to get Lajae Jones to shoot more. He’s taken 19 fewer shots (while making 11 more) than Hinton despite playing far more minutes. He’s made 11 more three-pointers than Moore while attempting only one more. He’s made 4 more threes than Council despite taking 10 fewer.

What’s with the camera in the rafters at Duquesne? It’s giving me vertigo.

I have a soft spot for those with name doppelgängers.

Couldn’t watch the game tonight so had time to browse while tracking online. TIL Gibson Jimerson is a year younger than Jason Tatum. Taking nothing away from the Billikens, but is it really fair that the Bonnies had to face Almost Jason Tatum?

Thanks for offering to do this. I like your first example. How about Gary Redus?

MLB had Jackie. The country still needed Brown v Board of Ed.

Bonnies now getting six votes in AP poll. Coaches, still fearful Schmidt will come for their jobs, continue to pitch a shutout. #ZeroBidLeague

Even though St. Bonaventure won 20 games last year, Mark Schmidt knew he needed to change the formula. “We needed to become longer, more athletic” The result? A 14-1 start that has his A10 peers calling him the coach of the year On Bona with @rileyfrain www.midmajormadness.com/2025/1/5/243...

Tastes like victory.

joey votto's home run spray chart is absolutely ridiculous

Funny thing… I looked up both and they had decent seasons after their hit. Fidrych’s shortened by injury. Garland amazingly went from 20 wins to 19 losses and saw his WAR go up!

Moving this here so as not to hijack another’s thread. Two names immediately came to me about one hit wonders — Mark Fidrych and Wayne Garland. /1 @ohhjim.bsky.social @bakuntz.bsky.social

I believe Seaver said he didn’t have his best stuff on this day in 1978 but that he recognized no-hitters involve some luck. He always thought his near perfect game against the Cubs in 1969 was one of his best. Have to think he had some of his best when he struck out 19 Padres (last 10) in 1970.

Good end to the half. Hinton’s best game so far. Moore zero points and two fouls, and Bonnies gave up lots of offensive rebounds while he was out.

With its opening six games starting at the same time today, the A10 making a strong showing it will again be the Everything Everywhere All At Once league. #zerobidleague

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

While in New York City for the Pinstripe Bowl, BC Football visited the 9/11 Memorial and honored Welles Crowther '99, the man in the red bandanna.

Great interview with @bonniesgmwoj.bsky.social Especially liked the discussion of recruiting and retaining current players while adding to and growing the program.

On the days he’s not doing Bracketology is it Lunardi’s job to put up the hoops standings on espn? That’s the only reason I can think of why the mighty A10 teams are listed by winning percentage EXCEPT St. Joes (tied for 8th) is listed first.

At this pace (doubling their votes each week), the Bonnies should be ranked No.1 in the AP poll before the end of February.

7-15 from 3 with Council and Jones 6-8. Jones is a new 3 and D guy since the only 2 pointers he seems to take are dunks.

Hope it’s just during halftime but espn+ very shaky right now. Someone at Siena had enough and pulling the plug?

Loosen the purse strings.

They can eject players and managers on a whim and even have spectators removed from the proceedings. They can rule arbitrarily and often leave participants without recourse. They may do all this and not have to account for their actions.

Even at their best, human umpires have biases - some favor pitches inside, others outside, some up, some down. More importantly, they have much greater power to control the game. They can stop play in the middle of a game or order participants to play through very trying circumstances….

John Milner at Shea Stadium.

Make that 12 of 20.

Well that’s quite a W. #unfurl

As a Celtics fan, I think the Lakers should bring him back to the League and play him 40 minutes a game.

BEHOLD, THE CAITLIN CLARK EMPIRE

Bucky Dent, 1976 #WhiteSox #Shorts #Baseball

Dent was famously recruited from this summer softball league to play for New York and subsequently acquired a fanciful nickname from some fans in Boston.

Great work by @sichrismannix.bsky.social in depicting the good journey @bonniesgmwoj.bsky.social took in returning to St. Bonaventure University.

Following Rob Manfred’s lead, Adam Silver proposes the Golden Ball Rule for NBA. So if Giannis fouled with one second left in game, Bucks down one, Doc can choose Dame to shoot free throws. Seems fair.
