This is an interesting wrinkle in all of this. Put aside whether or not it’s likely, if ESPN does not exercise the option, I think there IS some standing to argue away the GOR. The GOR does indicate that it’s for the purpose of fulfilling the ESPN deal. At the time it was drafted, that may...

The bolded make me think you’re starting with a false premise. You’re accepting the FSU narrative, and it’s flimsy, at best. You’re starting with the notion that FSU is being held captive, against their will, and incurring damages daily. None of that is true. FSU WILLINGLY signed an agreement...

This picture reminded me of a family trip to the outer banks. We took the kids and drove up to Corolla to see the horses. My daughter (probably 6-7 years old at the time) told everyone for weeks… maybe months… about the wild horses “riding piggy back” on the beach. Best intentions… Later, on a...

When the second half began, we hit a three. What followed for the next 10-11 minutes was some very sloppy play. We took quick, bad shots (if we didn’t turn it over) and completely lacked defensive intensity to make up for it. The way this game looked with 9-ish minutes to play, I am shocked we...

This has been a “gathering storm” (bad pun intended) for a while. Lots of coaches have expressed concern. Right before Caitlin Clark, Matt Painter was fussing about fans on the court and player safety after their upset at Nebraska. He was saying something to the effect that every road loss...

the channel surfing aspect does it for me too. I find the streaming to be a pain and even though I admit it’s not a big deal, I don’t like waiting for things to “load up” if I want to flip back and forth. I will say that a neighbor has YouTube TV (not sure how that works in place of cable) and...

That’s a very fair assumption… especially when we consider how we shifted back to Nait to exploit Cadeau when he got in foul trouble. Also maybe an attempt to make Davis (hopefully) work more defensively? I think we did it mostly from necessity, but I feel like the “by committee” approach...

I thought the same thing WRT the Duke / Clemson finish. I thought it was a suspect call to make in that situation too… The Filipowski “and 1” that put Duke up one possession prior was also pretty suspect. Hard to believe refs would come up with two suspect calls in favor of the Dukies… at...

I missed the first half and early part of the second. I have it recorded so I’ll take a look later, but question with regard to Sturdivant… Saw him handling the ball as PG (starting the offense) more than he has in previous games. He was also playing that role with Nait on the floor several...

I had forgotten that… I remember him having the drug charges but I don’t remember the details on reinstatement.

This could not be more true. Unfortunately.

How is that relevant? Here’s more irrelevant.. but quite interesting. The four top SEC teams at season end were Bama, UGA, Mizzou and Ole Miss. GT played 2 of those four and was 0-2. 9th ranked Mizzou went 0-1 against that group. Full SEC member played fewer games against that group than...

Mizzou deserved their ranking because they avoided any letdowns and they only lost to two good teams. That said, I can’t imagine how anyone could draw an easier schedule in a P5 conference. The SEC East was so bad last year outside of UGA. Good for Mizzou…. But they may have just filled a...

Sort of… Or it indicates that a couple of teams are having a strong year… or it could indicate that the rest of the conference is “down” that year…. I really think it simply indicates that more than one team has avoided the upset / letdown. Having two undefeated teams avoid each other through...

This is very interesting info… thanks for compiling. File this away for a 5 year and 10 year look back. Wonder if this tendency changes as more people start paying attention to spots 10-12 and if the rankings trend differently now that those spots will be under the microscope.

Probably not coincidentally, South Pittsburg is the home of Lodge cast iron. I’d say more than a subtle clue as to one aspect of the proper preparation of the cornbread. Regardless of your preferred recipe and unique ingredients, don’t bring your entry in muffin tins or bread pans.

I had no idea this had happened.. hopefully some wealthy influential folks who lived vicariously or even profited from his success will step up. Its one thing to look back on glory days, its quite another to see the future crumble. Hope that isn’t the case for him.

This comes to mind. Not football, but you get the idea… Myra Fleener : You know, a basketball hero around here is treated like a god, how can he ever find out what he can really do? I don't want this to be the high point of his life. I've seen them, the real sad ones. They sit around the rest...

this is not an insignificant factor or a new factor. Fan base drove the gate take when that was the largest consideration Fan base drove bowl destinations for years before we were worried about TV Fan base drives TV eyeballs now and eyeballs drive media deals and $$$ The circle is picking up...
