Gator Nichols with the buzzer beater to send Maysville to the state championship for the second year in a row.
One of the best basketball games I’ve ever witnessed.
10 minutes away from the tournament draws kicking off across the state.
Just wrote a blog on the two changes I would make to fix the OHSAA State Basketball tournament. Go check it out!

The persecutors love to talk about having been persecuted. There’s a line I wrote once that I seem to quote often now went something like, “There were people in this world so privileged that the notion of enduring any discomfort at all, even for a second, struck them as trauma.”
OMG! Pete Buttigieg just DEMOLISHED JD Vance on Bill Maher’s show. Vance is a fraud and Secretary Buttigieg perfectly explains how. This is absolutely worth a watch.
With JD Vance looking like the Republican pick for vice president, a reminder that there's a great collection of activist and scholarly perspectives on him—Appalachian Reckoning: A Region Responds to Hillbilly Elegy. A bunch of us worked on it at (no surprise) a university press.
Finished the last interlude today at 5:21. That is a wrap: Wind and Truth, Book five of the Stormlight Archive, is finished. Tomorrow morning, I'll hand it off to the proofreading and copyediting team. 491k words. The first file I have in my folder for this was dated March 2021, though active writing started about a year after that. So two years and a few months spent working on this full time, with another year of working on the outline. Feeling great about this final version! See you all December 6th. The book, finally, is DONE.
Dear OHSAA,
@MartinRPI has the formula.
MaxPreps doesn’t.
Looking at all 4 Divisions the math Martin does aligns with the eye test far more than that of MaxPreps.
Strength of schedule and size of school holds more weight as it should.
D4 Warren JFK now 4-0 while giving D2 Cleveland CC (4-1) & defending D1 state champs Hoban (1-1) their only losses.
Since the OHSAA/MaxPreps RPI formula doesn’t factor in school size at all, both of those wins count the same as if they beat two D4 schools with the same records.
