I watched this live and I thought Tamian Lipsey was dead when he drove baseline. It’s worth noting Jefferson likely got away with a walk but you won’t find Iowa State apologizing. What a play … what a game !
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it at least several dozen times. Box lacrosse fights are easily the most violently diabolical altercations across all sports. It’s simply just a street fight. I get that in boxing and MMA, fighting is the entire sport. But at least that is between a couple of combatants who really know how to protect themselves. But box lacrosse fights? These tilts are just two dudes standing in the pocket and going at it....
Apologies on not getting a blog up right after the game. I gotta be better than that. But also, you know who else needs to be better than that? Quinn Ewers and Texas. My reaction: I’m pretty sure I blacked out. Hasn’t happened since….2015 National Championship? But that was over alcohol. This was over pure joy. And I’ll say this: was it easy? From there, it was anyones game. But did we win in the end?...
Welcome back to the Stats Lab. We’re onto the playoffs. 6 games this weekend in one of the best sports weekends of the year. Below is my entire cheat sheet I used for Advisors this week. Let’s finish the season with a winning record. Justin Herbert has also covered 7 of his last 8 in that spot. This is my favorite play of the weekend. It might be a chalky pick but chalky picks have been winning this season....
We squashed it as part of my rehab when I lost my marbles back in 2022. But since he’s been hired it’s been an absolute nightmare for Doug. I’m not even the front runner anymore of his haters, I’m just simply reporting the facts. Give these kids all the awards. I hope they make the tournament.
Stool Scenes 487 - On this week’s episode of Stool Scenes, the pink wedding episode of surviving barstool creates a lot of drama that spills out all across the internet, Glenny and Caleb say goodbye to barstool and more.
But what Texas did to create that situation belongs in the Fuck-Up Hall of Fame. It would take a miracle for even OSU’s outstanding defense to stop them four times in a row. Just stunningly bad coaching. People are going to be talking about that one in Austin for a long time. I hope the Manning family is on the phone with Sark tomorrow morning and lets him have it.
Coming into today there was a consensus around college basketball that Auburn was the best team in the sport. But that injury right there? Yeah, that doesn’t look good. That’s not a normal rolling of the ankle. But the biggest story in college basketball right now is this injury. The offense is run through him and yeah, I know, Auburn has other options. But again, there’s a reason he was the NPOY favorite....

But different doesn’t have to mean worse. It can just mean different. I think it’s important that as fans, you understand that. What we experienced in 2023-24 was a magical season. From top to bottom in every single aspect of their season, they were incredible. Pick anything you want, and the Celts were unbelievable at it. It was objectively one of the greatest seasons in NBA history. Fact, not opinion....
There’s nothing cavalier about these Cavaliers. But they’re the perfect team for… well… cavalier NBA fans like myself. These Cavs aren’t just supremely talented. They’re incredibly fun to watch. Even if you’re a 90s ball boomer like myself. I think this should sum it up nicely. At least it was through November. I’m assuming it’s still pretty much there now. The 2024-25 Cavs were the reason I cut it off at 31 instead of, perhaps 30....
Holy Buckeye is one, obviously. Zeke 85 yards through the Heart of the South. Clarrett striping Sean Taylor, as well. Curtis Samuel in 2016 scoring to beat Michigan. But other than that, what am I missing? Something that kids will tell their kids who will tell their kids about. I fucking love Jack Sawyer. Here’s another angle for you: An absolute fucking DAWG. When we needed him most, he gave us his very best....
Here we fuckin go again. Instead, he and the boys laid another egg and let the opportunity slip away. It’s ambitious to think they will tonight. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was nervous. We are the better team, very clearly. But I’ve been well conditioned to not expect the better team to win in these spots. We had the funeral for the Steelers December 21st. Tonight is the burial....
