  1. MGM is having a bad couple of days now: https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/mgm-resorts-receives-colossal-kick-to-the-nads-in-companywide-cyberattack/ And then, it got worse:
  2. One of the Pac-12 agenda items for this Wednesday: a proposal to pay the departing schools "transition fees" to help them move to their new conferences:
  3. Tucker likely has coached his last game at MSU https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/sports/columnists/graham-couch/2023/09/10/mel-tucker-michigan-state-football-sexual-harassment-allegation-graham-couch-opinion/70816082007/
  4. 2 minutes in, Baylor looks like ass on defense.
  5. KU just imposing their will on Illinois is something none of us probably thought we would ever see. Usually, we would have tuned in to see a cripple fight.
  6. Eh, we all a bunch of mouthbreathers on a football message board. Ain't no English scholars here.
  7. The Coastal Athletic Association has that policy in their bylaws. The tweet was merely offering up the idea that what-if WSU and OSU were able to become the sole voting members of the Pac-12, and then changed the Pac-12 bylaws to be similar to what the CAA has done.
  8. From Wilner, so yeah. https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/09/08/pac-12-chaos-washington-state-oregon-state-take-legal-action-against-the-conference-over-control-of-assets-voting-rights/
  9. As recently as a year ago, Musk was adamant about a new Tesla vehicle without a steering wheel, pedals or even mirrors: https://www.axios.com/2023/09/08/tesla-musk-global-electric-car-robotaxis
  10. The Post has an excerpt from Isaacson's book: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/07/elon-musk-starlink-ukraine-russia-invasion/
  11. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/09/musks-unpaid-bills-dozens-of-lawsuits-try-to-force-twitter-aka-x-to-pay-up/
  12. Or, hear me out. It's so crazy, it just might work. There's no precedent for this, but I believe this is the way to go. Elon should just start sending out mass emails asking for donations to fight off the government or something, for freedom or whatever. He already has all of the people on Twitter's email addresses---he has a built in solicitation list, ready to go! He could say the government is against him! Just make up some reason; it doesn't have to actually exist. Oh, of course he could easily pay for the upgrades to his diesel powered charging station, but still it's better to use someone else's money rather than his own. He will rake in millions. After all, he may be the wealthiest* person in the world, but his faithful followers will gladly be happy to send cash his way. And he can do something more outrageous next week, like put up a video of him kicking a puppy or somesuch, and even more money would roll in. This will work.
  13. Relevant article from yesterday. Long read, and it covers a bit of history re: ESPN's dual income streams. But the main goal of the article is how ESPN, Disney and perhaps sports leagues are fucked down the road. The Rise and Fall of ESPN’s Leverage https://stratechery.com/
  14. Jimbo without question. Dabo already 2 pelts on his wall during his Clemson tenure. All Jimbo has earned at A&M is this:
  15. So, since Jerry Lewis did it on Labor Day weekend for decades, Steve Bannon figured he might as well give it a shot:
  16. Yeah, but do you think Eusaw in Toadsuck, Arkansas is going to know that, or even care if that is told to him? To he and his friends and family, that's fake news.
