BTW, we're in the Sweet 16!

For some levity ... After our game and postgame festivities, I switched over to the ACC title game -- just in time to see Duke win in OT. I guess he was being serious, but I damn near fell off my couch then watching Manny Diaz lobby for his 7-5 team to get a CFP slot. I get that he was just doing his job and standing up for his team, but still ...

What do you do when you win your first B1G title game? When you beat those arrogant pricks to the East for the first time since 1988? When you've won your first B1G title since 1967? When you secured the No. 1 spot in the CFP? When your QB very likely locked up the Heisman Trophy? When you're about to become No. 1 in the nation? YOU SING! https://x.com/IndianaFootball/status/1997550677485142207?s=20

Just a wild guess ... IU 13 Bucknuts 10 LOL!

Welcome back, BTB. There's been a little development while you were sleeping ...

THERE GOES CHANDLER! Just a simple quick out route. Not trying to pour it on -- Toiletmakers are just inept. 6 more points -- 6 consecutive scoring drives. 56-3 us. I have a suspicion that'll do it for the scoring in this game.

Little Mendoza time!

THERE GOES HEMBY!!! 82 yards for 6 more points. Now up 28-3 late in 1st half.

Black right up the middle. 6 points!

B1G Network is running the condensed, 60-minute version of the game right now if anybody wants to comment since the site was down Saturday night. We're up 14-3 in the second quarter. Mendoza looking a little off with his passing -- hope he gets it figured out soon.

Tennessee's Josh Heupel, on why he supposedly has no interest in Penn State. “I wouldn’t want low expectations,” Heupel said of PSU, via On3. “That’s part of why I want to be here. We’ll win big.”

JMU's Bob Chesney off the board

My God -- just saw this. Who watched the game? Yeah, Crooks' play in the paint is unfair -- especially when she can get away with this sh-t. Did she do this the entire afternoon? There are three officials on the floor and NO ONE saw that? Even Stevie Wonder would've blown the whistle. She's walkin'. Yes indeed -- she's walkin'. https://x.com/NaismithTrophy/status/1995216780755890302?s=20

Among the snarky sh-t Lane Kiffin pulls, he releases a statement saying he was denied the opportunity to coach Ole Miss any longer -- despite the players asking the AD to let him take them to the CFP. He knows damn good and well there's no AD in the country who'd let him stay -- especially when he's going to a conference rival just 300 miles or so away -- yet he tries to portray himself as a martyr because he's being told to get the hell out of Oxford. As you can see, the fans appreciate him ... https://x.com/JomboyMedia/status/1995248978552897608?s=20

Anybody happen to notice who's the NFC's top seed? DA BEARS!!!

Sparty makes it official ... MSU football coaches during Tom Izzo's 30-year tenure Nick Saban Bobby Williams John L. Smith Mark Dantonio Mel Tucker Jonathan Smith Dantonio ate up a big chunk of that, though, with 12 seasons.

Statement from Ole Miss athletic director. "Coach Kiffin and I met yesterday, and he informed us that he is accepting the head coaching position at another school. For our program to begin preparing for its future – both the short and long term, he will be stepping away from the team immediately." He essentially says: Don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out. ... This sorta cracks me up, considering ESPN and Lane collaborated on a documentary this year in which the main theme was how Lane had finally found what he wanted in Oxford. Money can't buy happiness -- unless you're offered $12M a year, I suppose.

Wish I coulda watched this game. For a 5-8 guard to score 38 points with only one 3 is pretty amazing. Had she not fouled out, she'd probably have reached 40.

Penn State reportedly showing interest in Tennessee's Josh Heupel. At this point, who haven't they shown interest in?

Not watching, but eyeing the stats as I work. Ciezki had better be careful. She's gonna hurt her back from carrying this team so much ...

Bring him back, Nits!

ESPN says Kiffin will take LSU gig. If that happens and I'm Ole Miss, I say: Pack up and get out. Absolutely no way I let him coach in the playoff, especially because he's gonna try to take players with him to Baton Rouge. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47146781/expectation-lsu-hire-lane-kiffin-sunday
