@runnerspace What’s going on with the name of this track meet? It’s sponsored by Nike and the Jesuits?

It looks like I set my recycling out on the curb and it’s not the week for recycling and I’m the laughingstock of the neighborhood.

@NCtheScout We should be talking more about Staten Island Chuck.

Since future generations will be relying on AI to write for them and have no sense for grammar, I hope our AI overlords prioritize the Oxford comma.

I have a couple college wrestling takes I need to throw out.

(1) there should be a weight class between 197 and 285.
(2) they only need to rank 10-15 teams, not 25

Just 15.8 million viewers for Miami-Ole Miss. It was a great game, but this is a brutally awful number. College football is the only sport that posts lower final four playoff viewership than it does for regular season games. Must be addressed. Audience isn’t growing.

In the mid 90s my dad played with the “Ghost Players” on a Japanese tour. These were extras and locals from The Field of Dreams movie who have kept the team going. My dad wasn’t in the movie, but the Japanese people treated him like he was a celebrity.

-Tulane vs. Ole Miss (rematch!)
-3-loss Bama making final 8

Let's take it one step further...

12 team < 4 team < BCS

Notre Dame dropped 2 CFP ranking spots following a 49-20 win at Stanford and no 13th game.
Alabama gained 1 spot following a 27-20 win at Auburn and a 28-7 loss to Georgia.
ND was penalized for a 27-24 loss at Miami in Week 1.
Bama's 31-17 loss to FSU in Week 1 didn't matter.

[Neil Flattery @neilflattery]

As a casual Notre Dame fan, my gut tells me they should be below Miami in the rankings given they lost to them and have the same record with similar schedules. But I still hope they get in for my own personal interest in the CFP and my grandpa’s sake.

Wrestling has the coolest looking referees.

@samuelT19 Your eye test is doing a lot of work!

[Neil Flattery @neilflattery]

@samuelT19 BYU has a top 15 win and Iowa doesn’t. And the same amount of big 12 losses as Iowa.

[Neil Flattery @neilflattery]

@samuelT19 I guess I don’t see why 4th and 8th isn’t reasonable. Iowa and Nebraska played one score games against teams currently 7th and 8th in the Big 12.

[Neil Flattery @neilflattery]

@samuelT19 according to rankings done by people who watch football (AP, CFP), they would fare worse.

[Neil Flattery @neilflattery]

@MLBONFOX @WBCBaseball Buxton should be in center.
