Isn’t this the kid who duck hooked the kick against IU? Yeah, I’m sure Day will keep a really close eye on this one.

So how does this work? Are the games individual pay per view? Do you not buy a pkg? If you have 22 free games how are you accessing the other 60?

I need an explanation. Just flipped through a FS1 broadcast of “Greatest Games: College Football” and the game they’re broadcasting is last year’s Ohio State-Michigan game that OSU by 18. So a blowout is great, huh?

That absolutely needs to happen. A halftime presentation of a “Humiliated Purdue in the NCAA Tournament” banner would be a world class troll job.

Don’t know this guy’s screen name around here, but he’s clearly hanging around because he’s exactly parroting the conversations we’ve been having about those 3 for months. Only mostly kidding

That is outstanding. Will definitely go down this rabbit hole at some point.

Will die on the hill of Mould being the most criminally unappreciated truly great rock artist ever. 45 years the guy’s been doing it and the quality never fades and the fire never dims and the dude just does his thing, whether anybody’s listening or not. A stone killer.

Seems pretty nuts. But that’s what I thought about KAT in New York, so what the hell do I know.

Should have given it another 5 mins. St John’s it is.

Genuinely curious where he ends up.

Yup, and any cut ups they show him of the offense or of Branham or Moody or Karvala are gonna be those guys cutting to the rim or making catch and shoot jumpers and just generally playing off ball because the best trait Wabbington has, by far, is his vision and facilitation, particularly from the high post. Obviously he’s not Jokic, but the way you construct offense with him is exactly the same. That’s what makes a UNC visit annoying because Malone can just show Nuggets cut ups and it would be an incredibly easy sell.

The official schedule

Things are about to get spicy. Kid’s gonna pull the whole Jimmy Butler/T-Wolves “You can’t win without me!” and beat the white jerseys with the walk ons in his 1st practice. Ok, maybe his 2nd practice.

Maybe so, but all 5 teams in front of them have a returning QB and that’s not nothin’. If you’re doing the dart throwing that is preseason polls knowing exactly what a team is at QB makes for a pretty safe vote. It doesn’t feel super disrespectful to me, though Cig, being Cig, I imagine pretty strongly disagrees.

Always fun when UK whiffs but I’d rather he would have taken that visit because Illinois’ system is a pretty nice fit for him.

Boz Skaggs would have been a tough one to say no to. Hell of a career. The one that could, I hope, come up and I’d just have to do it is Johnny Marr. He was supposed to be in KC right when Covid hit and I don’t know if he’s toured the States since. Don’t particularly love his voice but he’s Johnny freaking Marr and that’s all it takes.

Son, you’ve got everyone covered. Easily. Just take a breath.

This track in the rain would be straight up pinball.

Just watched the IndyCar Toronto qualifying from yesterday. Holy mackerel. Louie Foster putting .4 on the field on a used set of tires is a whoopin’. Always interesting to see what happens when they go to tracks where the top teams don’t have the advantage of reams of data.

The deterioration of the artist is a painful thing to see. And the crowd thing gets me. My wife took me to see Bruce for my birthday maybe 10 years ago and the band still sounded good and Bruce was still Bruce and the tempo was a little slower but it was a very good show. But the crowd was a bunch of 50 and 60something middle manager types who for exercise now walk on a treadmill in their office busting out full-throated and for them unironically, “Tramps like us, baby we were born to run”, and it hit me. We may have never actually been that guy, but we’re certainly not that guy now, even for a night of nostalgia. I felt ridiculous. That’s when I made the call that oldies shows are out. Though to be fair, I saw Darlene Love a few years ago in her mid-70’s and she KILLED. Her voice at her age was otherworldly.

I have a hard and fast rule that I don’t go to geriatric rocker shows. Almost never not depressing. Make 1 exception: the great Bob Mould. Husker Du. Sugar. Solo. 40+ years of making incredible music. Has never taken a backward step. Love him. Today came across this very cool just out little 20 min doc on the creation of Sugar. Turns out they’re going out for a short reunion tour. That is happy-making beyond words and an absolute must do. Closest it gets to me is 10/21 in Nashville, TN. Will be there with bells on.

Yeah, this is certainly what you’d expect to hear from him given where this thing is right now, but, really, if you’re any school recruiting against Sonny Dykes wouldn’t you just show this to every kid?

Branham finishes off a banging summer. If he’d been doing this with EYBL exposure he’d be getting top 10 type consideration by now. Yeah, depth of talent in that league is better for sure, but you can drop that kid into any style of play at all and he has ways to help you win. What a freaking steal getting that early commit before everybody got in. And I promise they would have. He would have 1 smoking list right now.
