UPDATE #1: TEXAS indoor football operations facility. this BAD BOY is going to be GINORMOUS.
I can’t believe the Social Work people went quietly. I assume they bought them off with a new building?

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
McCollum is going to make $30 million this season and could be washed. I’d trade for Schroder. The Kings are completely regarded so they’ll probably eat most of his contract in exchange for a pick swap.

Good win. Shot it like shit and still won.

Russell going full SGA. Not even looking to shoot. Just looking to get his man in the air and draw contact on every play. This style of play is killing the league.

Very shitty sequence for Reed. Missed 3, dribbles off his foot, chases it with a circus lay up attempt.

I’ll ask the question, if DFS misses 20-30 games is a it a bad signing? They signed him to spell Durant and if he’s unavailable, where’s his value?

Hey Oil Barons.......
Permian guys love to shit on the DJ because it’s not a crude play, yet deals like this keep happening. Chevron bought PDC in May 2023.

The 2025 CFP Regular Season Is 3/4s Finished - What Do You Think?
Do you work for a ESPN talking head show? You just spent most of your post reasoning Notre Dame doesn’t have a quality win, but they have better losses than Texas. Texas has 2 top 10 wins. Wins matter. “Quality” losses are something that Joe Lunardi made up.

Any DFS updates? The guy from The Athletic didn’t know shit, of course.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Hartline has been calling plays since the 2024 CFP, right? If so, I don’t think PSU could do much better.

No Jabari tonight. AD and Lively out for the Mavs.

The 2025 CFP Regular Season Is 3/4s Finished - What Do You Think?
Yep. The last year a SEC team can hide and of course aggy is 8-0. I agreed with the scheduling formula while hating the 8 game conference schedule. This is an unfortunate result of the small schools bitching and moaning about maintaining bowl eligibility. I will give aggy credit for scheduling Notre Dame. That said, scheduling Samford is shameful.

Big Noon Show
Wake Up Barstool is growing on me. Their college football recaps on Monday morning are worth your time. It’s about 30-40 minutes off T-Bob and Brandon Walker talking ball with Gruden and Greg Olsen. Portnoy is usually too hungover to say much unless fOSU or Michigan come up. Record it and fast forward through the other bullshit.

SEC Catch-all Thread
SEC Shorts pulls too many punches for my liking. The only time they truly went in on a team is when Texas lost at home to Bama back in 2022. If team truly sucks it’s OK to say so and make fun of them. Instead, they tiptoed around the YouTube TV carriage issue. Plenty of meat on the bone elsewhere. Roll Call is much funnier and more honest.

Gruden has been overly cute on Barstool when asked about it. I think his agent is reaching out to schools. That said, it feels like year 20 of Gruden is going to take a SEC job.

Moscona says Lanning rejected LSU. And then they chased that with a Josh Brooks rejection. Also said the corn dogs reached out to Saban.

Stunning statistic. Think about all the 3 and outs, short fields, and quick changes Auburn’s defense has dealt with. Durkin is a snake, but he can coach defense.

The 2025 CFP Regular Season Is 3/4s Finished - What Do You Think?
Agreed. Indiana is good, but they’d be happy to be there. Cigs won’t, maybe the team won’t, but their fans will be happy to be there.

The 2025 CFP Regular Season Is 3/4s Finished - What Do You Think?
Agreed. They seem unusually cautious. I’d imagine there’s a small amount of pant pissing about going on the road against Mizzou.

The 2025 CFP Regular Season Is 3/4s Finished - What Do You Think?
While I agree with the premise, aggy could give a shit if they get smoked in the CFP. They’ll be more than happy just to be there. Same for Indiana. I think Oregon fans would very happy with 2 straight CFP appearances, but I think they need to win a game. Probably beat down a North Texas type team in Round 1, and get rolled in the quarterfinals.

Always Sunny in Philadelphia
They could always do the Jon Hamm - Larry David thing. Nobody needs to die.

The Chair Company on HBO
The Jeep Tours stuff is hilarious. Disappointed that Lake Bell probably isn’t going to show the goods, but glad she’s in the HBO Family now. I’m sure she’ll get cast in another show. Keep hope alive.

Deadliest Catch Season 15
Shocker on Mandy. Yeah Clark seems like a really good guy. The father - son thing with Sig has been nice to watch.

All things SNL
Pretty solid episode. Of course another restaurant sketch didn’t work, and they doubled down on it with dumb ass Italian accents. This is how it’s done well.
