    Hey Millennials, want to feel old?

    Blink-182’s song “What’s My Age Again?” came out halfway between now and when Terry Jacks’ “Seasons in the Sun” came out. Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill came out halfway between present day and the Beatles’ Revolver.

    Talen Horton-Tucker

    I’ll be the first to admit I don’t understand basketball to the level I understand football, but I don’t know how many times I’ve seen a defender let a guy go right past him for an uncontested layup or dunk in the NBA. Sometimes I could swear I must have missed a whistle because the defense just...

    Washington hires Jedd Fisch

    I don’t think Campbell is going to be a serious candidate for big time coaching jobs again until he has another 2020 kind of season. The kind of places that would want him right now aren’t the kind of places he would consider, IMO.

    Talen Horton-Tucker

    Does anybody know why his playing time fluctuates so wildly? He’ll have a few games where he scores 20+ points, then maybe one where he scores in the teens, then he doesn’t play hardly at all for a stretch of games. Is he dealing with injuries or something?

    **** WBB: Game Thread - Iowa State vs. #24 West Virginia 6:30 ESPN+ ****

    How many of us would have been able to watch this game if not for ESPN+? So glad I can watch just about every WBB game now from Washington state.

    Question;

    A few things: 1. Rightly or wrongly, there’s a sense that as a Power 5 school playing an unranked G5 school, we ought to win. That was reflected in the double digit spread for this game. 2. The lack of success by the Big 12 newcomers from the AAC this year has done a lot to affect people’s...

    Will Bowls be Dead in 2024?

    I meant to say “so it can count in the conference standings.” I edited it.

    Will Bowls be Dead in 2024?

    With them being in the same conference now, I would have Army-Navy be the only Week 0 game. Open the season with it every year so it can count in the conference standings.

    Will Bowls be Dead in 2024?

    I think it would be better than the NIT. The teams in the NIT are mid-majors and P6 teams that finished around .500 or worse in conference play. A second level tournament in college football would be mostly top 25 teams. I like the idea personally. Have two or three 16-team tournaments with one...

    Florida QB arrested on child pornography charge

    Most of the time they get off extremely easy. Seriously, in some states a guy can flat out abuse his step-kid and the mom still has to allow the abuser visitation with his biological kids even though they’re the victim’s siblings. The abuser still gets to be involved and put the other kids at...

    Switching between apps to watch games is a PITA

    Some of the games are exclusive to apps though. A lot of Big 12 games are only on ESPN+. Purdue vs Arizona (I think) in college basketball a couple weeks ago was only on Peacock. The NFL game tonight was only on Amazon Prime Video. If I want to flip back and forth, cable/satellite doesn’t help me.

    Switching between apps to watch games is a PITA

    Anybody know a workaround for this? I hate when there are multiple games I want to keep track of and some of them are on YouTubeTV and another one is on ESPN+ and another one is on Peacock or Paramount+. I have a Firestick and it’s a pain to have to hit the home button, find the other app, get...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Any breakaway is going to include more than just the top brands. Sure, those schools have a lot of fans, but Joe Blow from West Lafayette, Indiana doesn’t care about Michigan vs Ohio State if Purdue is down an entire NCAA division from them. I think the breakaway is the P5. Maybe a few P5s...

    Bowls are cool and all, but…

    If you have three or four 16 team tournaments, the most games that anybody is going to play would be 17, which is like an NFL regular season. I guess it’s possible that somebody could play 18 if they played Hawaii in the regular season and also played in their conference championship game...

    Bowls are cool and all, but…

    They’re kind of an anti-climactic way to end the college football season. We spend 14 weeks watching the teams play, then they’re off for three or four weeks before going to some random location to play a glorified exhibition game. Anymore, the more exciting matchups on paper are tainted by...
