10 yrs ago I went to see Argentina v Panama in the 2016 Copa America. I was disappointed #Messi was held out of the starting lineup w a back injury. He came on in the 61st & completed a hat trick 27 minutes later. Felt honored that night & still feel honored to witness the true #GOAT. #worldcup2026

@webberross.bsky.social @thetilehurstend.bsky.social The Amazons' theme song comes in at full volume around the 56 minute mark of the new pod. Might want to see if that can be edited (Apple Podcasts).

My local bar is in TROUBLE

Balogun's second will get all the plaudits, but Gio Reyna's goal was the culmination of 1:15 of possession, 27 consecutive successful passes. Brilliant by #USMNT. #worldcup2026

Holy crap Jedi!!! #usmnt

IT'S PORTAL KOMBAT! Marquette selected Sananda Fru & Nolan Minessale, but in the process Sheek Pearson became an unplayable NPC. Does #mubb have enough credits to add additional rotation players? @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social looks at some of the options. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/04/port...

Nolan Minessale has committed to #mubb & @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social has your breakdown of how he fits in to this roster. He put up 19.8/4.6/4.3 at St Thomas last year & should immediately impact the rotation. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/04/nola...

Shaka addresses the program’s most pressing need: a Big East ready center is on his way to The 414. Welcome to #MUBB Sananda Fru! @brewcity77.bsky.social has the details on why Fru is an ideal fit www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/04/sana...

#mubb #414Day

All I know is it's really unfair 1-seed Florida is going to have to play 2-seed Houston in Houston.

Charles Barkley: "We don't change the rules of anything for the 1%." Uhh, Charles, are you familiar with the tax code?

All my contingencies are coming into play, so ignore the bracket. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/03/crac...

If the NCAA is picking the last in today, expect San Diego St to get in over Texas. Their win over UNM moved the Aztecs to 45 in WAB (Texas is 47 with a negative score). Only one team has made the field with a losing Q1-3 record, that was Texas at 13-15 last year. The Longhorns are 10-14 this year.

Let's answer the major bracket questions as we're less than 48 hours to seeing the NCAA bracket! @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/03/crac...

@anonymouseagle.bsky.social is spot on here. Next year needs to look like 2022-2025 or Coach Smart will be looking for work.

It's Championship Week! All the major conferences will be underway today, so let's look at some of the tough calls as Selection Sunday draws near. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/03/crac...

Nobody beats Team USA on George Washington's birthday. #usahockey

FEBRUARY 22 IS THE BEST HOCKEY BIRTHDAY! WHAT A PRESENT! #usa #usahockey #happybirthdaytome #olympics

They made a movie about my 3rd birthday. Called it Miracle about some little hockey game in Lake Placid. Now on my 49th birthday USA Hockey is going to play for Gold on the anniversary of the biggest upset in sports history. What would Herb say? #usahockey #olympics

Today on @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social we break down every team we expect to see in tomorrow's Top-16 Reveal. We also have a tasty 8/9 matchup that I swear wasn't intentional in our full bracket. #bracketology www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/02/crac...

What if...when Dr Strange put forth his 14,000,605 possible futures, he was actually talking about Marquette Basketball? Today on @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social I dig into how #mubb could land in the NCAA Tournament. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/02/1-in...

It's a Marriott Miracle that #ReadingFC won today, but this live table with 6 of the top-10 still to play each other today is a massive opportunity taken. Bolton & Bradford at the SCL with a trip to Port Vale in between, real chance this team could get to the top-6 by the end of February.

It's the Saturday after the Super Bowl, which means it's time for the Top-16 Reveal! It will be on...umm...one moment, I'm sure I have it here somewhere. Oh well, here's a seed list and bracket from @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social anyway. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/02/crac...

In 10 years, Darryn Peterson will be Ja Morant, viewed as an oft-injured bust, AJ Dybantsa will be Carmelo, putting up big numbers without postseason success to match, & Cameron Boozer will be wearing rings and regarded as the best player in the draft regardless of where he's picked.

Today at @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social we have Big East win targets. What does your team need to dance? If it isn't UConn, St John's, Villanova, or Seton Hall, a miracle would do. #bracketology #bigeast www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/02/crac...

@ramsreviewpod.bsky.social Thoughts on rumors of Ryan Nyambe moving to Reading? Can he still do the job in League One?

Huang saying #readingfc is about to sign a LB & RB, both of which I'd happily take. But of course, no idea who. Any Reading folks have a Discord where such things are discussed? Would love for @webberross.bsky.social to set up a @thetilehurstend.bsky.social channel to help us stateside Royals.

The top of college basketball is stronger than it's been in years, dominated by the high major leagues. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social looks at the top, the bottom, & the bracket as it stands. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2026/01/crac...

I don't watch much football. Tonight reinforced that choice when the refs took the Ole Miss/Miami game into their hands on the final play. The players did not decide that game, the refs did. #cfbplayoff

"I see RGV people. They're walking around like regular people. They only see what they want to see. They don't know RGV is dead." "How often do you see them?" "All the time." #mubb

Man, #ReadingFC are flying. 6-2-2 in League One since Leam Richardson took over. From the relegation zone to just 9th place & 4 points off the playoffs. 17 goals for to 9 against. Get a left back, some midfield depth, & another striker & I like the Royals' chances.

At this point, I'm not even sure Shaka wants to be here past this year. He's coaching like he wants to be fired. No heart, no effort, no growth, and that is from the sideline, not on the court. #mubb

#mubb has matched their worst start in 35 years. Does that mean the season is over before Thanksgiving? Today at @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social we break down the numbers on what it will take to get Marquette back on the right side of the bubble come March. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/11/is-m...

Well, that was a fun season. Didn't think it would be over before Thanksgiving. #mubb

No matter what happens tonight this remains the dumbest home and home. Ridiculous that we're even playing this. #mubb

We dig into Dayton to see what #mubb can expect tonight. Need to protect the ball and make threes. Dayton is underachieving a bit, but still dangerous. Not a game Marquette can overlook.

Digging into Marquette's resume, I know it's early, but for at-large hopes, the next 5 games are must-win, because I see zero chance of winning at Mackey. Dayton, CMU, Oklahoma, Valpo, Wisconsin. Any loss and it's Big East Tourney or bust. #mubb

I feel like I have very little sense for this #mubb team right now. But considering how things stand, the season is already on the line. Maryland will likely go down as a Q3 home loss when all is said & done. That's a bad loss & needs good wins to overcome.

Do you have 10 mins before #mubb takes on Maryland? Look back at this great article from @painttouches.bsky.social revisiting Buzz Williams' character revealed while at MU, not just as a snake oil salesman, but how he illegally impeded a sexual assault investigation. painttouches.com/2014/03/23/g...

#mubb takes on Maryland today. What should we expect? I added some thoughts on @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social but here's how I expect this to go.

Here's your Maryland refresher, updated with a season-to-date shot chart & thoughts on the Terps. Also a reminder, if you're still a fan of Buzz & attending today, the proper way to show respect when he's introduced is to yell his name as loudly as possible. It sounds like this: BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUzz

Here's a quick rundown of my keys to the game for #mubb today as they take on Indiana. Offensively, Marquette needs to go inside. Neither Bailey nor Alexis are very good rim protectors. This is a game where the MU bigs should be able to bully the opposition.

#mubb takes on Indiana today, we watched them take on Alabama A&M to get an idea of what we'll see today. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social has you covered on the Hoosiers.

IU Indy/LIU is some of the most insanely fun basketball you will ever see. Get to ESPN+ and find this game, you won't regret it. One for all the Sickos.

#mubb celebrates Shaka Smart's 100th MU win with 100 points.

We're cutting nets. #mubb

GAME DAY BUMP! @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social has your Southern preview, including some added notes after watching the Jaguars opening game against Arkansas. Get to know the opponent for tonight's #mubb game.

The Southern Jaguars have the depth & talent to possibly be the highest ranked SWAC team in the NET era, and possibly a Q3 game. #mubb takes on the SWAC favorites November 5 & @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social has the skinny on Southern. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/09/sout...

GAME DAY BUMP! #mubb returns tonight with a visit from the Albany Great Danes. Here's your primer on old friend Dwayne Killings' squad. We're back, baby, and @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social has you covered.

The season opens with Albany! It's a new look roster for the Great Danes who look to build off a winning campaign in 2024-25. #mubb also welcomes some familiar faces to the Fiserv Forum. Here's your @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social preview of Albany. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/09/alba...
