  1. NC winning coach. Michigan man. Ready to go.
  2. How many people show up to watch some chemistry experiment, nerds.
  3. The entire NSS is a shift from viewing strategic interests in a long-term national lens to viewing the survival and expansion of Trumpian populism internally and externally as the overarching strategic imperative. For analysis on the NSS I would slightly caution seeking out lawyers or law blogs. The apparatus has long been (IMO) over-lawyered especially as ossification set in. One of the hallmarks of the new set is a pretty firm rejection of legally influenced thinking.
  4. Lack of character limits has really hurt his ability to penetrate social consciousness because no one wants to read walls of unformatted texts. The semi-correct placement of quotes around “aura” to signify its use in the pop-culture lingo sense was jarring here TBH.
  5. Lee Pace is great and he’s a current favorite “that guy” actor.
  6. That was the only thing I actually thought was a cool addition to the series. It’s clear the series didn’t have the budget to do a space epic right and so it turned into a lot of characters talking to each other. The books are OK for long plane rides.
  7. I Am Legend gutted a good premise and turned it into a very forgettable zombie movie. Forrest Gump is a pretty crass and frankly stupid book that was turned into a too-saccharine and also stupid movie.
  8. JMU’s fan account is doing amazing work on Twitter.
  9. The NIT is actually for the big boys who aren’t at the top of their conferences and the real dance extends auto-invites to champs of mid-major conferences. Because David v Goliath is actually a fun story and people like it. Because sometimes a 14 from a tiny conference knocks off a number 3 from a power conference, just like how G5 teams won 4/11 NY6 bowls and will one day be the best part of the CFP when they win a game. I really think most people don’t actually like college sports. Or rather, artificial consensus has been manufactured by sports talking heads who are reading a script.
  10. I want to see the academies blow this shit up. I want them to waive the service requirements for a short window and go buy some national championships and make it so miserable for the rest of the NCAA that we all just reset the sport for a bit, then the academies will too. ”Tell General Dynamics that they are buying us a football team. Yeah, put the NIL costs as a line item in the Virginia-class sub procurement. No one will notice it there. 50 million, 100 million, whatever. And tell that cornerback that we can put his name on a guided missile cruiser but we want all of the Clemson backfield to transfer with him for an aircraft carrier.”
  11. An expanded field of 12 is already a charity case except for programs that don’t need it, it’s going to be stocked with teams that don’t really have a chance. Last year only two games in the CFP were wins by less than double digits. We also got two games in the playoffs by fewer than double digits in both 2023 and 2024, out of only 3 games. The idea that the CFP is going to deliver great football games is untested at best.
  12. It is New Year’s Day 1991. Your eyes are blurry as you come to in your buddy’s S-10 in the parking lot of the Cotton Bowl. ”Hey man, you kind of overdid with the beers in there, I know the game sucked. What the hell were you talking about? ‘Private equity’ buying the Big 10? ‘Venmoing’ a ‘collective’ to get a seventh year senior DT from Middle Tennessee in a ‘portal’? Just recline the seat and chill out.” The future must not come to pass. The SWC must be saved.
  13. Super cool to see something that belongs to taxpayers (the Ute brand) get sold to PE and it’s somehow mitigating that if it all goes sideways a taxpayer owned institution has the right to buy it back.
