@Andrew_Ivins @BudElliott3 I was listening to an @Cover3Podcast a few months back when yall were discussing the 26 RB group. I remember yall said there was a trio of players who could finish at the top of the group, but only two players ended with 5*. Who was the 3rd?

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

@Filmwatchers1 Appreciate your work, you’ve very good at it. Hope you get back up and running soon, even if it’s on another platform.

You gotta feel for USC. What were they supposed to do? Find a group of 11 more teams in or near the pacific time zone and play them every week? Get serious.

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

@ESPN_BillC Good work bill. Idk if you saw my other mention, but some of your teams keep switching naming conventions from one week to the next.

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

@ESPN_BillC Love your work. I noticed your naming conventions keep flipping between some teams from week to week. Kennesaw state, Sam Houston and Jacksonville state are the usual suspects.

@ESPN_BillC What do you make of the huge disagreements with the large spread games? Vegas not reacting to the general tightening of the sport from top to bottom?

Candidly, The Read Optional needs another 100-ish subscribers to remain viable this year. Come and join the fun!

New Plain History: HOW NORMAN BORLAUG STOPPED THE APOCALYPSE

The story of "the man who saved one billion lives"—with grant money to study fungus in Mexico—has renewed importance for a world where science funding is falling and foreign aid is considered unpatriotic.

In the 1960s, famine deaths were surging, and US intellectuals feared that hundreds of millions would soon die of starvation and over-population. Warnings of the impending apocalypse were trendy.

But the apocalypse never came. By the end of the century, famine deaths had declined by more than 90% thanks to the painstaking invention of abundantly blooming, short and stalky, disease resistant wheat, by a small team led by an Iowa plant pathologist named Norman.

Progress sickos know and revere Borlaug. But who was he? How I ask @CharlesCMann:
- How lucky and strange did we get with semi-dwarf wheat?
- How did Borlaug make perhaps the most life-saving discovery of the century, with a tiny team in a little shack in rural Mexico?
- What does his story tell us about science and technological progress?

@ESPN_BillC im on a beach vacation with no college football content to indulge myself. When will your conference previews start?

[Brad @powersalwaysout]

@GrayMediaGTN your broadcast of the Braves game on Peachtree TV is sending the English and Spanish announcers simultaneously. It’s not an issue on the FanDuel network channel.

Cheers from @VariantBrewing in Roswell, GA. I started with Brightlord Italian Pilsner, and then I remembered it’s #Stouterday, so I got a Barrel Aged Midmorning.

@ESPN_BillC Wow. That’s amazing. Thanks for the explanation

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

Hey @ESPN_BillC , I noticed the SP+ special teams grades seemingly took a rather dynamic jump in both directions for a lot of teams this week. In week twelve most teams were hovering around +/- 0.5. Now just a week later there are a lot of teams at +/- 1.5. Any reason why?

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

@ESPN_BillC Assuming more PCDII today?

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

@ESPN_BillC Ahhhh. Ok, that makes sense. I saw your official tabulation had you at 20-20 ATS last weekend and I had you at 31-17. Crazy how such a small change can make a huge difference in the record.

[Clinton Burkes @catcher_0_3]

@ESPN_BillC But it’s just the average of the two team grades? I just couldn’t make some of the game scores work last week with their offense and defense team grades
