Got a feeling he'll be wearing No. 9 -- even if by accident. Manager: "Hey Clemens, you got a preference for your jersey number?" Sokolov: "Nein." Manager: "You got it!"

Watching Cubs-Reds on my afternoon off and who shows up for an in-game interview ... the Big 0. An absolute legend in Indiana. Dude looks fantastic at 87. Great stories. What a treat! (Made it even more special that the Cubs scored 7 runs while he was in the booth!)

Doubt this will have any effect on her decision, but the longtime coach at Ojo's high school (about 10 minutes from where I live) has retired. Won over 700 game and 16 -- yes 16 -- state titles. Think the chances of her wearing cream & crimson are extremely slim anyway. https://www.pilotonline.com/2026/05/04/darnell-dozier-retires-after-guiding-princess-anne-to-record-16-girls-basketball-state-championships/

This is pretty funny.

5-8 combo guard from Jackson, Michigan. With the jumps Michigan and MSU have made in the past couple years, it seems as if it would be tough to beat them out -- but she's just a sophomore, so she's probably a ways from making a commitment.

Easiest Final Jeopardy ever! And nobody got it right. (Although I must admit, one of my favorite Gene Hackman movies is ... "Rams." Huh?) Sigh ...

Sounds like Cigs wanted to keep Alberto, but also wanted Josh Hoover. Couldn't have both. Also sounds like Alberto is considered the QB1 at Georgia Tech. Story here

Lamar Jackson fist-bumps Diego at Ravens minicamp

I can't figure out of Dickitch ... Has just gone completely off the rails. Is trying to get clicks. Needs attention. I mean ... seriously? Even he has to realize the deep, deep well of sh*t that would be created by college players betting.

Former Hoosier C.J. Gunn is gonna give the Association a try. No offense, but I got $10 that says he doesn't get drafted. Wondering why all these guys with no eligibility left are "declaring" for the draft? Maybe to make their plans public in light of the impending "5-in-5" proposal?

Whadda say we go for 10 next year? Maybe 12?

What do you do when you've had a program-high eight players drafted -- including two in the first round -- after a national championship season? YOU SING!

Nowakowski to the Steelers.

Pooch: "Thank God he finally got drafted. Now I can get my seat back."

Gonna miss the Mendozas. Wish there were a way we could've kept Alberto -- but I guess Cigs just wasn't ready to hand the keys over to him. And I don't blame Alberto for wanting to be QB1 somewhere.

10 in a row!

I'll never forget the quacktastic start to the Peach Bowl ...

Kaelon Black -- the Virginia Beach kid -- to the 49ers at No. 90.

It's officially official ...

My Bears drafted the guy whom Roman Henby flattened in Eugene in October. Sigh ...

Trifecta complete! Only three players have ever won the Heisman Trophy, won a national championship and been the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft in the same season: Cam Newton, Auburn Joe Burrow, Louisiana State and Fernando Mendoza, IU

Accidentally saw this on Twitter -- and now I can't unsee it. Nightmares are imminent.

'Nando's a little better with a football than a baseball!

He said he was a Hoosier, but now, he's REALLY a Hoosier.
