In the South, avoiding Texas / UConn / SoCal / UCLA, it's not a perfect draw but I'd probably take it versus playing out the season if that choice were somehow on offer.

Had never previously considered this and now I'm so immediately radicalized that my only quibble is Ken should go further and simply eliminate all timeouts.

Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know, but if you are avoiding the Hell Site and want someone live tweeting USC sports, Alan Cole is here and is doing a bang-up job.

We did it

Congratulations to Jordan Butler on his first SEC win

Really annoyed at Texas understandably thinking we could barf this away and thus dragging this one out

Get anyone who can't handle the ball off the floor

I'm not sure what will end up being the definitive CMB game of his career but this one is already in the running

This was just 233 days ago:

One of my favorite Carolina games every year is when they go to Winthrop and I get to try to convince my family to be interested in the fact I played on that field before

I can't remember a better ten offensive minutes this season

It feels like the secret sauce last year was the defensive line and secondary were simply fantastic. I think the secondary can run it back, but whether we can replace Kennard (and to some extent, Sanders) is maybe the biggest question for the entire team.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Feeling seen

Kind of unable to believe at this stage of the season, and yet, sooner or later one of these has to go our way. At least, I’m pretty sure.

Dawn Staley is such a gem

go birds

Brutal Andy Reid is gonna keep Carson Wentz from ever getting a super bowl snap

STERLING SHARPE MENTIONED

TIL that only two players since WWII have MLB careers with one plate appearance that resulted in a walk: Infamously, Eddie Gaedel Less infamously, beloved Gamecock great Kevil Melillo! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_G...

Dropping this in @edsbs.bsky.social mentions because I wouldn't want him to miss out on the chance to see Billy Joel perform live in our nation's capital: www.mlb.com/nationals/ti...

Lady Vols on a night when we're on a bit of short rest playing in Knoxville seems like a bad bad mix

@kleinman.bsky.social feeling mad this morning, should I donate to the upcoming House specials (if so, which) or is there a better place to spend my anger?

What's going on in Columbia? 😂

All that close-game fortune from last year is getting paid back in spades this year.

It's such a tough conference

Got em back for their bullshit window 3 from about 20 minutes ago

Great defense from CMB there

Tired turnovers. No legs to score or stop fast break points. You just can't play this tight a rotation.

Those two turnovers are the definition of this phenomenon

Gamecocks hold the lead at 11 while CMB sat and that's a big dang deal (it was like 150 seconds)

My grand theory of this team is that it is nigh impossible to meet the hustle requirements in an SEC game when you have so many guys playing 30+ minutes, which is why they get beat on the boards and have bad turnovers. But only giving Florida a couple extra possessions so far, and outshooting them.

Ooh baby that CMB possession

Not to get all "parenthood changes your whole perspective," but I do think becoming a dad has made me even less tolerant of Bluesky's doomer brigade. I'm completely uninterested in having depressive strangers lecture me about how my daughter's future is written and there's nothing we can do.

"good take there, [Hoops], you were right on the money" - the latest GBO is up!

The thing that needs the most fixing is taking losses in conference CGs into account, and acknowledging that they're going to slightly mess with seeds in order to avoid regular season rematches. This bracket rules a lot more without Ohio St./Oregon in the quarters, and both these fixes address that.
