The @speedballbailey.bsky.social era! You love to see it. #AEWCollision

Went to Boone Saloon and shot a 2-under on Golden Tee. First time I've played it in 5 years. I was happy with finishing even. Tripled the 18th, so it should have been better.

App State Men's Basketball's first jersey retirement. Darryl Robinson.

Huntley, Tate, Threadgill, Beaubrun and Coble.

It's weird honoring basketball seniors who 365 days ago played four years for a sworn enemy.

Yeah this is Boone

There's gonna be five more parts to this series. At least five. The next one will be out within the next week. But here's where my deep dive into the Clark Era began a couple weeks ago.

Can't wait for Stone Cold Cody Rhodes to beat up Chairman of the Board Mr. The Rock.

The NCAA immediately caved to the White House and it still wasn't enough. The rat got the cookie and is now asking for a glass of milk.

Sun Belt Fun Graph - Feb. 20 MBB Edition: Hell in Excel Two teams remain at the top. 3rd place is gonna be controversial, but that's Sun Belt tiebreakers for ya. The 7-8 group will come down to the end while Coastal (despite a win) & ULM punch their Tuesday Pensacola tickets.

In this moment, I realized buying a 12 pack of my soda of choice and leaving it in the car in 17-degree temps to watch four hours of high school basketball was likely a mistake.

Smells like #FailSouthern in here. #appstate

eric collins with another dooooooozy of a call on this lamelo ball bucket

When I was a kid, my mom did some PTA-funded-kids-event and had big bowls of M&Ms and other candies. Like 20 minutes before it starts, a roach is crawling across the M&M bowl. You best believe my mom threw out the entire bowl of M&Ms, went to the store and bought more M&Ms in those 20 minutes.

App State Board of Trustees called meeting this Friday to discuss employment. UNC Board of Governors, who has to approve a new chancellor recommendation from a school's BOT, has scheduled meetings next Friday (Feb. 27-28), but can have a special meeting earlier if called.

...oh my. #AEWDynamite

Today has been a rough day of seeing something new and terrible about the country every time I open a social media or news page. As a journalist, I have to keep an eye open for story ideas, hence the inadvertently doomscrolling. Just want to go home, fire up TOTK and explore.

Chancellor Crystal Hines Martin of Hinds County, Mississippi has issued a prior restraint order so ludicrously unconstitutional it’s only consistent with deliberate misconduct or abject ignorance of the relevant law. Disgraceful and lawless. /1

Yes, I recapped all 33 minutes.

Yes, I recapped all 33 minutes.

At a high school basketball game going into the fourth quarter and the PA just played THE main NFL Primetime game recap music. The one that played for the best game of the weekend and Boomer was on his game. First time I've heard that in the wild.

Dowell Loggains did a 33-minute presser earlier today so I guess I have to recap it.

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

NASCAR should have a fights system like hockey. If both guys mutually agree to opt in there's no fine or penalty points. Set up a ring in the pits where Ricky and Joey can go at it.

Another shutout win today to extend that national shutoutblead in the last five years. This time with six pins (five in a row at one point!)

I’ve been screaming this since 2016. Trump will back down in the face of resistance. He has every time. And Musk - who is going to fall out with Trump sooner rather than later - is going to have to get back to Tesla soon or face a shareholder revolt. We can win if we fight back. And we will win.

When I went to North Wilkesboro last year for the All Star Race, a hip hop song came on pre race and I heard someone say "They're playing that Bubba Wallace music!" Later when Wallace was involved in a wreck, I heard someone else yell "Back of the line, back of the bus!"

I watch AEW more than WWE, as I enjoy the product more. Most of AEW's currently storylines are pretty good. But good grief, the Death Riders storyline needs to end. A complete misfire since Moxley won the world title. Endless beatdowns, inconsistent babyfaces saves, nonsensical Moxley promos.

Ospreay goes over Takeshita and the ring post then a combined one wing angel/hidden blade finish 🤯

Sun Belt Fun Graph - Feb. 15 MBB Edition: Hell in Excel With four games to go, we have a four-way tie for 1st. Saturday had some carnage. Marshall falls off the pace, Georgia State is hot, ULM won both games this week and Coastal is one loss from a Tuesday in Pensacola.
