With the expansion of the playoff and the general upgrade in schedules the Big 10 and SEC will play, it’s going to be awfully challenging to go unbeaten all the way going forward.

It will take a 16-0 or 17-0 season next year.

Kevin McCarthy was on CNBC this morning. Said he supports Trump, especially his policies but does not like the 'revenge' tour. He said Trump needs to look forward, not back.

Then switched to Fox News and showed a Trump poll: 37% support Trump; 37% are persuadable; and 24% are never Trump.

So, why isn't Trump looking forward and turning those in the persuadable camp to the Trump camp?

Let alone appealing to the non-Republican voters?

Cakewalk into round 3.

This is funny.
She has assessed the gains because of allegedly ill gotten low interest rates. And wants to give him a lifetime ban from real estate in the State. 🤣

New York Attorney General Letitia James is calling for a $370 million fine against former President Donald Trump and his companies and a lifetime ban on him and two of his former company executives from the real estate industry in the state.

Attorneys from James' office requested the punishment in post-trial motions filed Friday in the Trump fraud case. They said that Trump owes $168 million of interest allegedly saved through fraud; $152 million from the sale of the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C., the site of one of Trump's hotels; $60 million through the transfer of the Ferry Point Golf Course contract; and $2.5 million from severance agreements for former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Howard Weisselberg and ex-Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney.

Good luck with that. How can the liberals take this seriously?

But y’all didn’t like it,

Mine was high school baseball as a freshman. I made the varsity after the JV season ended and this was literally my first game on the team.

It was district game and all I remember is it was COLD. Like, wind making your bones ache cold.

I didn't start and was tasked with keeping the books. The problem was it was so cold that eventually my fingers stopped being able to grip the pen, but I didn't have anything more than batting gloves to warm them. It was the type of cold where you stop moving your fingers because it hurts to do so.

Anyway, we get to the last inning and the coach sees me growing icicles on the bench, and decides to let me pinch hit and get into the game. He realized it kind of late and told me that I was going to get an AB, but it was when I was due up and not "go get into the circle" type of situation. I dunno, maybe he just saw that I had batting gloves on already.

Honestly? I was excited. My first varsity AB and a chance to impress the team. There was just one problem, and I realized it as soon as I tried to grab my bat and walk onto the field.

I couldn't grip the bat. Like, at all. My fingers weren't currently working and I knew if I actually tried a swing I would uncork the bat to who knows where.

Now, given a few minutes to warm up and take a few swings I could have properly overcame this. But, I was needed in the batters box and there was no time.

I honestly didn't know what I was going to do. I was desperately trying to move my fingers and get a grip, but when I stepped into the box I knew I couldn't swing at the first pitch at least. Should I bunt? No, I was a stocky power hitter and the coach definitely didn't want me bunting.

So I stood there, bat basically resting in the palms of my frozen hands just hoping that maybe after a few pitches I'd be in some sort of "able to hack it" type of situation.

But alas, that was not in the cards. Because on the first pitch of my varsity career the pitcher uncorked a fastball that hit my directly in the middle of my back, right under my shoulder blade. Right in the frozen muscle.

Now, everyone knows you're not allowed to act like getting hit by a pitch hurts. Makes you a wuss. But let me tell you as a guy who has been hit by many baseballs, this one HURT. Felt like a sledgehammer to the back, and the only thing that got me moving towards first was the fact that it was warmer than standing there.

Than, to top it off, as soon as I reached first I was substituted for another kid who was the "fast kid" that hadn't got into the game either.

Varsity game #1 was in the books, and baseball can be a cruel sport.

Anyone have any others they want to add to the list?

I would rather see Kelly leave LSU for recruiting reasons but who gets the job?

Would have tonight and will next fall! Hookem’

Allen) was a great threat and is a player I respect,” Wembanyama said. “He’s the type of player I like and he’s already had a long career. He’s efficient and does the hard jobs.”

Allen and Wembanyama exchanged highlight-reel blocks against each other down the stretch in the fourth quarter, leading a defensive charge that held the Cavaliers scoreless in the final 2 minutes and 42 seconds.

Wembanyama, who leads the NBA in blocks, finished with five rejections.

“I’m excited for Wemby because he’s talented, takes people off the dribble, is an excellent shot blocker, posts up,” Allen said. “He has it all. And you don’t realize how big his wingspan is until you go against him.”

Michigan sure made that look easy.

Texas at 2, discuss

I pulled an excerpt from our donor newsletter that just went out and we need Longhorn Nation to answer the call. 15% of your Longhorn Foundation annual gift is where we ask folks to consider starting, which can be paid monthly.


“For those counting at home, that is three Big 12 titles, two teams in their respective final fours, and one NCAA National Championship. This fall was a great start to the 2023-2024 athletic season. Keep up your support as our Winter sports continue their conference play, and Spring sports are on the horizon! Thank you all for being a part of it, and we look forward to having you on our team as we continue to make an impact not only in the lives of our student-athletes but also in the community that helps make Texas the place to play college athletics.”

I live west of 360 and the gusts are nuts! The good news is because of the freeze most of the trees are pretty clean.

Does this national championship make Michigan the Houston Astros of college football???

Countdown is on

Oh yeah, he is also a helluva football coach.

I think there might be several NFL teams that could use his services. It won’t hurt my feelings if he is not on the Michigan sidelines when we play them next year.

Woof.

And more right here:

I’ve said since he was drafted Harbaugh would be a match made in heaven for him. I doubt it happens though as LA is the likely landing spot if he leaves Michigan.

Who are the likely candidates?
