    So your theory is that Grogu has a crippled little brother who isn't cute or even force sensitive that will somehow "win" it?

    Are you thinking Grogu fights Mando to win the darksaber, or someone defeats Mando to win it and Grogu wins it back in revenge?

  2. I was so happy to see Lindsey crush it. I can’t imagine having every conversation about my career always go back to a dumb thing I did almost two decades earlier when I was a kid.

    I stayed up to watch her races and I am glad I did. I almost cheered as much for her as I did when VY scored his last TD for the Horns.

  3. Local ABC station here in Raleigh interrupted the race about halfway with breaking news of a shooting at a mall in Durham. They followed that up by breaking in again about halfway through the final lap with a reporter on scene to tell us he couldn’t confirm anything. Turned out later in the evening that there were no gunshots and that people likely heard a broomstick hit the top of a table during a fight.

  4. As many have pointed out over the last few years, the professionalization of college sports is obviously going to make it difficult for the many smaller, less profitable schools to compete. Might as well start planning for inevitable calls for equity among the programs and abolish recruiting as it currently exists and think about a draft system that can be implemented. Northwestern South State University could never be expected to compete with UT, Bama, USC for a 5* recruit so do away with the expensive national recruiting process and let the schools draft the players they want. Of course, we are still left with the problem of free agen…umm, the transfer portal. Gonna have to continue to tweak that process as the playoffs continue to expand.

  5. FALSE
    U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis has a great dataset for FTE employment by industry going back quite a ways. It's not often cited because there's typically a lag time of a couple of years. 2019 is the most recent year for which these data are available.
    • In 1949, the federal government employed 1,397,000 civilian FTEs which was 3.0 percent of all workers in the US. Total population of the US in 1949 was 149 million, so it comes out to one federal civilian worker for every 107 Americans.
    • In 2019, the federal government employed 2,173,000 civilian FTEs which was 1.6 percent of all workers in the U.S. Total population of the US in 2019 was 330 million, so it comes out to one federal civilian worker for every 152 Americans.

    I wonder how much the government contractor population has boomed over this period?

    But not for "Louisiana man.”

  8. The replay showed the Jackson State player get piled on and then everyone else got up and went celebrating and it looked like they just left him laying on the field rolling around hurt

    I think he was just basking in the moment.

    The guy that caught the TD pass, Damond Philyaw-Johnson, has a good story.

    And yeah JSU is not Jackson State coached by Neon Deion in Mississippi, and not Jacksonville University which is in Florida and coincidentally in the same conference (Atlantic Sun) as Jacksonville State this year, but does not play football.
  9. I recognize that might be the Marching Southerners(JSU band) but what stadium is that, it is not the JSU stadium?


    I believe that’s the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery. Pretty sure this was from the previous week where UAB blanked them 31-0. I figured the FSU game would likely be double that.
