I saw the story this morning, and thought about what was being implemented and the state-by-state level at which that is happening, and realized all this will do is consolidate college football’s power within the South, particularly, the Deep South.

States like California or in the midwest or wherever who do this, Read more

The fact the brand’s first three syllables are literally “underarm” might present a barrier to style conscious, affluent customers, too. Read more

Last year I did a playthrough where I was a 100 percent Skyrim-for-the-Nords racist asshole, who made completing the civil war his immediate priority. It was so, so unsatisfying. Fuck Ulfric. They do a good job of making the Nords’ nativism palatable enough to join but the total emptiness of what you get out of that Read more

This is not a comment on the sentence, its propriety or anything, other than to say “Holy shit, four years for a white collar crime, much less involving baseball,” is some pretty strong shit. Read more

I am not at all reassured; if anything it makes it even more likely. Read more

Living out of the state for most of my 20s and 30s helped me, too. Back then I just wanted to get away from everyone kissing UNC’s ass, but as the mediocrity wore on, I definitely was glad not to be around media following up every “What’s wrong with State” with a premature “The Pack is Back!” after a one-off win over Read more

This also explains why Krzyzewski said fuck it and left the keys with Jeff Gaudet Read more

Yeah, football is its own brand of same fucking shit, different fucking year. Read more

This will get a lot of people fired up, but it looks like more of the same for us: A big win, most likely followed by a bewildering home loss (I’ll call Syracuse), lingering desperation about an NCAA tournament bid that has to be resolved with an unlikely deep run in the conference tournament.
