  1. Down to TexasGary, HornontheBayou and myself. If I read it correctly, Dunkin dies with the Chiefs never having used the Patriots. Would have been a nice set-up for him with NE vs NYG this week.
  2. Apology letter: “We apologize to anyone who was offended by the Snoop Dogg performance at Late Night. We made it clear to the entertainers’ managers that we expected a clean version of the show and took additional steps to communicate to our fans, including moving the artist to the final act of the evening, to ensure that no basketball activities would be missed if anyone did not want to stay for his show." Sneaky acknowledgment they knew it could be offensive to those midwestern moms (and/or racists)
  3. SMU was waaay short on one of those 4th downs - maybe the TV line was wrong? Either that or the booth was asleep Looks like they're letting students on the grass hill which is a great move. Used to just be a handful of kids rolling around Are we a Boise loss away from SMU controlling its destiny for the Cotton Bowl? Looks like AAC champ would outrank App State

    Tennesse

    Vol Calls with Pruitt is tonight at 7 pm CT if anyone wants to ask a question. I'm guessing they'll screen callers even harder than usual for this episode.
  5. Dolphins have a bye and then face Redskins so that's interesting. Definitely some other teams collapsing though.
  6. Pretty sure JHawk acknowledges they cheat, and worried about this exact situation, going back to Shaggy days
  7. Appreciate Self and Long saying "respect the process" and "confident in our process" instead of Trust the Process
  8. Ideal bagman doesn't even go to the games or have any interaction at all with the head coach. But I know what you mean. Someone needs to point the bagman in the right direction and arrange for him to get the money to hand out, which was probably Townsend's thing.
  9. Don't forget Larry Brown is available The texts may not be legal trouble but common sense says they are enough for the NCAA to extract some pain on KU. Logical conclusion is fire Townsend now, push for NCAA title while case plays out, Self takes NBA job in summer 2020 and new coach gets a stress free year to reload the program with maybe a couple scholarship losses.
  10. I'd be shocked if Self leaves. Maybe asst coach Townsend gets sacrificed before the season as a compliance gesture. But no reason not to make an all-out run for the trophy while everything unfolds with the case. Us against the world motivation. Loaded roster this year, Final Four at the Alamodome where they won it last.
  11. The two 20+ spreads this week are teams I've already burned 😠
  12. Newcastle open the scoring at Anfield

    SNL 45

    We get the same complaints every year, and I share some of those but will stay loyal. It is what it is, will always have some hits, some misses and mostly just ok sketches. I admit without DVR, I would have been gone ages ago. I hardly ever watch the musical guest and quite often skip the monologue. I mainly just admire what they can pull off in a live setting with just 5 days prep.
  14. And Mike Evans is an afterthought now?
  15. Been to both for work a lot. My first impulse was Charlotte because I'm an east coast guy and the getaways RIP mentioned are nice. But Nashville is surrounded by lakes and rivers. And when you factor in air travel getaways, Nashville pulls ahead despite a smaller airport. Traffic in Charlotte can be pretty terrible. Lastly, just a guess that you'll get more house for your money in TN.

    NCAA Week 3

    Some good call-outs on favorites above. UCF has been anticipating this game for years, though Stanford will get its starting QB back which is probably why the line is normal. Knights rarely get a chance to send a message to voters & CFP committee, plus a long-ass trip and hot weather for the Cards
  17. We look like OU out there, other than the fact flags are being thrown on us
  18. "If 2 LSU Fans Get Divorced, Will They Still be Cousins?" sign gets screen time Also the toilet/LA state map "Coincidence?" sign
  19. Occasional crowd shots on morning SportsCenter. Also they aired a chunk of Herbie's walk around with Sam. I won't spoil it but he has a solid STFU answer for people who question his passing ability.
  20. ^ Entries still open. Also, this deserves to out-trend the Zeke extension in today's news:
  21. If it's OK with @BigOrange1, we can take entries all the way up to Sunday morning. I doubt a lot of people will risk their pick of Chicago/Green Bay on Thursday
  22. They stopped doing this a few years ago. Most campuses need that space before a night game. Stage breakdown begins immediately after the show, takes a few hours to clear everything but the area can be opened pretty quickly
  23. Maybe too soft/slow for some, but I love everything Black Belt Eagle Scout has put out. Saddle Creek Records which I think was founded by Bright Eyes years ago. New album out today...
  24. Plenty of time to sign up people
