Really excited for this weekend’s big ACC matchup with playoff implications. And obviously I am talking about #12 Virginia versus Wake Forest, not those bottom-dwelling also rans Clemson and FSU.

Big Honey and the Dread Pirate Jelly Roll just taking care of business.

The German guy blaming the Jews for ousting him from The Handmaid’s Tale, Inc. is almost too on the nose.

This thread is everything you assumed the Belichick administration at UNC would be.

This coaching cycle is beginning to look like it may be the mythical day when college football coaches finally look at their contracts and say “Nah man, this place seems nice, the kids like their school and $4.2 million a year is a lot of money, think I’ll just stay put.”

Mike Sweeney, now officially spending 30 or so years in Purgatory in accordance with both Catholic and Royals tradition.

Gunner Stockton’s uncle is very much an uncle from @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social central casting.

We're so excited to be joined again by @macondawg.bsky.social to preview the Florida game. We break down the on-field matchup, talk through the coaching carousel, and laugh at Brian Kelly. #godawgs chapelbellcurve.simplecast.com/episodes/202...

Introduced my daughter to this movie over the summer and she referenced this exact phrase when she heard about the Louvre heist, a literal ten year old sees where this thing is likely to go wrong.

Be back in a bit, currently working on a block “G” Georgia hat that says “enGorged” across the front.

Ted Cruz’n.

This early morning Hawaii game is on one, and I mean that even more than usual.

Friends, I have a sudden, strong urge to talk about the Noles.

Point of order: they do get the food out pretty quickly, so could we somehow gerrymander Cracker Barrel into being a fast food restaurant?

Deeper and deeper into the enemy’s rear?

I believe you mean “former Georgia Bulldogs tailback signee George Lombard.”

This feels like the opening to a modern day P.G. Wodehouse novel and I am 100% invested already.

So basically this, but with missiles:

Once again I’m reminded, trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets.

Did a quick photoshop of what Bobby Petrino might look like as Arkansas head coach after sustaining injuries in a motorcycle accident while having an affair with a Razorbacks staffer

time—much like the wheel of a motorcycle that has fallen over—is a flat circle

no better proof that we really and truly are operating in a post-shame society than "interim Arkansas head football coach bobby petrino"

That’s what happens when you eat the shrimp creole, and the fried shrimp, and the shrimp gumbo, and the shrimp….

Once again, ask me how I know the Falcons are playing.

This feels like something you would read on someone’s tomb stone.

Dabo may need those three points before this one is over.

But hear me out: Virginia Tech football coach Mike Gundy.

They are already clearing off a desk for Mike Gundy at the OAN sports department.

“Clemson fan.”

“Ken, what is the working title of Hugh Freeze’s autobiography?”

This is the new normal. And the NCAA remains in a horrible position to deal with it because of their relationship with sports gambling. Like a 1980s dad sitting in his recliner with a Budweiser and a Camel and telling his kids to just say “no” and signing their Presidential Fitness paperwork.

Note to self: put cell phone on the other side of the house during UGA games so I don’t get my family’s health insurance cancelled.

El Assico exists on its own spatial and chronological point.

“To me, ‘Driver 8’ is probably the quintessential R.E.M. song of that particular period.” - Peter Buck. Guitar School interview, 1993 “Driver 8” was released as a single on this day in 1985–the second single from Fables Of The Reconstruction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuFI...

What’s up?

In case you need extra motivation for CFB Week 1, let's revisit the best halftime speech ever given by a football coach. Like, ever.

If you’re headed to Athens this Saturday, note: Lexington Hwy & the Loop is a mess and even worse the bridge over the river on Oconee St is half demolished. I wouldn’t travel into town by that route on Gameday.

As a kid I was fairly certain Vernon Reid was one of the ten coolest people on Earth. With hindsight, I don’t think I was far off.

As a reminder, Texas A&M joined the SEC 4,799 days ago and Georgia still hasn’t played at Kyle Field. So I’d take these lofty objectives with a grain of salt.

Realized last night that I am entering my 20th season of writing about college football and I don’t care who you are that’s funny as hell.

Plot twist: Vanderbilt now has to play 15 additional games, and like it.

We're live in the Discord and about to record the season opener. Come on over for a catchup session and the SEC preview with Yara and Nathan! (Y'all it's literally $1 a month) www.patreon.com/c/chapelbell...

Got a story out today about something I’ve been fascinated by for years: From Atlanta hip hop to Bama RushTok, here’s how and why the South has taken such a firm grip on modern American culture. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
