Incredible how hard this still goes. Apparently 20 years old but just as fresh these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bREC...

Re: Purdue, worth noting that last year's national champion had this performance through 30 in its opening game against future 13-19, #196-ranked USF. Opening week follies are sometimes just that.

Prepping next week's watchlist for @basketunderreview.bsky.social and I'd like to tip the cap to Saint Mary's, who has put together maybe the best five-game ROI for a season ticket holder imaginable. Four of those five teams are either favorites or co-favorites to win their respective conferences!

This guy’s stuff is absolutely incredible. Spent 15 minutes this morning scrolling through his site: galaxypeabrain.wordpress.com

Hey Microsoft? This sucks. You know what doesn’t suck? Easy to identify letters

Zohran won, college basketball’s back, and I got COVID, truly an amazing Range of Emotions Week. (I’m fine, just bummed that I’m not able to run my marathon Saturday.)

The case for IU Indy - the JAGUARS! - as the ESPN+/League Pass Team of the Year. Can Ben Howlett's team, in Year One, set points and pace numbers not seen in Division I in 15 years? I think it's possible. ($) www.basketunderreview.com/iu-indy-the-...

stay tuned

Honestly last night was a vindication of Bluesky Politics from all the people who said we're in a bubble over here. We like both normie lib or Dem socialist candidates as long as they promise to fight, and we're sick of the Trump admin and the old guard of Clinton-era Dems.

(Bill Simmons voice the second Mahomes loses a game) Woke is BACK!!!!

There are more of us than there are of them.

Great night. Woke is BACK. Basketball is BACK. And you guessed it - 1.5 Benadryl versus fall allergies is BACK

Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield will become the first woman to be mayor of the city.

New York City is now Zohropa

I’m libbed up. I’m libbing out. I’m libbin’ a big one.

Two more points in whatever fashion and Arizona becomes the first team to score 90+ against a ranked opponent in regulation despite attempting 5 or fewer threes since this one.

For at least 2.5 more hours, Winthrop is your #1 overall seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament

If you check into the DNA of every high-major roster in the sport, you'll discover 20 teams are Actually Capable of winning the national title. Here are those 20, and why, courtesy of our Isaac Trotter. (with a hat-tip to @statsbywill.bsky.social in the lead paragraph.)

College basketball finally returns today😃 Bluesky's CBB activity is FAR too low, but I'll keep posting here all the same. Here's a big Starter Pack I created about a year ago. Share it! If there are accounts posting about ball near-daily that should be added, let me know and I'll share tonight.

The most optimistic read of that finish is that it’s what finally pushes NASCAR to Get Serious and go back to a normal 36-race system. The most pessimistic read is that NASCAR will use that as fuel for “game 7 moments” and we get a modified form of garbage slop going forward

Oh my God it’s getting worse

this is the dumbest, most chaotic, awful, idiotic format you can have for a racing series. please never let this happen without a full season championship again

Absolute dumbest finish possible to the final race of NASCAR's dumbest championship format

Dumbest game imaginable.

Alex Anzalone Worst Tackling Angle in Human History achievement unlocked

Jesus, what a nightmare performance.

They could never make me hate you, JJ

Let's basketball.

This would be the endgame in the search for the Most Toronto Sports Loss. We are nearing the end of history.

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

HOLY SHIT!!?!?!?!?!

You laugh but “allow game tying HR to the #9 hitter even Dodgers fans are baffled is up to bat” is THE most Toronto way to close this out

NO WAY

This is The Good Stuff™.

Good news. Love and light is coming back soon.

THE DADGUMMED BLUE JAYS

I am going to spatchcock and oven-roast the Limu Emu.

Thank God. I was worried that Bluesky had begun to evolve past the Reply Explainer. Same ol' site!

Can't get enough of Mateer's footwork. Who taught him. How is that person alive. Why does he do it like that. How badly does he wish he could be running the Wing T right now. I love him and I think I'd die if he quarterbacked my team

Oklahoma about to pull off the exceptionally rare triple-dip

Would like for Michigan to provide proof of concept of being coached. Not under, over, or even well, just proof that there is an adult in the room somewhere from time to time

Not sure that was the correct decision

I’m gonna be honest: that was baller as hell to just pick that up and stiff arm a dude for THIRTY YARDS. I tip my hat.

The Rally House ad should be illegal. Gets stuck in my head too easily.

The core central concept to the entirety of college sports is “fuck those guys over there specifically”

Gus Johnson’s decline has been well covered but Joe Tess aging into someone attempting to create maximum dopamine on every snap is probably worse
