Host Duke Basketball Roundup: @Dukeroundup

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

A big F-you to the Fox Sports announcers waxing about how wonderful it is that the Dodgers can afford soooo many great pitchers and failing to note that it is because the owner was committing massive financial fraud to do so.
The Dodgers should be scorned by all!
#GoBraves!

If this description doesn’t make you want to see Digger…

[Dave Blass @DaveBlass]

Wow #Digger is insane. It's not what you think. It's like a Wes Anderson movie had sex with a Coen Brothers film on the set of Twelve Monkeys. The production design was sublime. Tom Cruise and John Goodman were off the charts. It's Art, and as such some will love it and some hate it. It's a huge swing for Alejandro Iñárritu. Go see it before you read about it.

Riiiight, the Big Ten and SEC are just terrified of the FSU team that has had a losing record in 6 of the past 8 seasons while playing in the SEC. Yup, logic checks out 100%

[Kurt Bauerle @KurtBauerle]

FSU fans cannot get their heads around the idea that the upper divisions of both B1G and SEC don’t want to share success, which is finite, with an NC caliber program like FSU. And aside from that, if you net the additional revenue from FSU’s inclusion against the increased recruiting spending that FSU and its geography would impose on others if it was a P2 peer, the nominal monetary gain (if any) is modest. FSU being left to wither on the ACC vine has always been an extremely plausible outcome as ESPN and FOX, which are frenemies, horse trade larger issues. And that’s why FSU and the rest of the P-rest should be collectively fighting the P2 and their business partner networks that have unilaterally made CFB an anti-competitive JOKE.

@BlueDevilNation If Duke can’t win at Ga Tech then they don’t deserve to be ranked.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

Crueler loss… Va Tech on a FG that looked good but was called a miss or Padres on a clear homerun that hit the roof and fell into an out?

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

Dear lord I am eating something called soufflé pancakes!!

John C Woods, hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about his experience to get the job (he actually learned about hanging from old cowboy films). His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

Will Cam Williams or Sebastian Wilkins start? That is the first big reveal that we will see at Countdown.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

@Dukeblogger Yeah, I don’t see capping NIL as a major accomplishment in any of this. Eliminating endless transfers, establishing firm age rules, and making conference expansion difficult are the biggest changes I want to see.
The players should make what folks are willing to pay them.

[Ryan Casselman @ryan_casselman]

Watch Digger. I can't promise it'll be good or bad experience for you. But it will be an experience. You won't just shrug and say "it's fine I guess." You will have a reaction and feel fully alive watching...which is more than I can say for 95% of movies that come out each year.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

@Sports_Kings_ Whoa, you are not characterizing this accurately. EvanMiya calculated the value of the Duke roster. He did not say this is what Duke is paying in NIL for those players.

I am quite confident that Duke does not have the most expensive payroll this year.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

Chaos… and it is worth noting that a lot of these guys who are eligible on Nov 1 very well may not be eligible on March 1.

[The Field of 68 @TheFieldOf68]

NEWS: Kentucky's Court of Appeals has dissolved their injunction protecting the state's 5-in-5 case, per @KYHSHistory

This means notable players such as Mark Mitchell, Seth Trimble, Skyy Clark, Fred King, Colin Porter and others are now currently ineligible to play

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

I eagerly await the moment where the SEC and Big Ten tell FSU and Clemson “umm, we don’t want you.”

[Jon Loesche @jloesche88]

Exclusive: Tomahawk Nation has obtained a letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson and signed by the presidents of Florida State, Clemson, UNC, and Miami.

It asks the House to drop the independence requirement from Section 205 of the Protect College Sports Act and to increase the conference membership limit to 22. Full story coming

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

Look right above the D in Skydance. Apparently David Ellison thinks of Harry Potter as a corporate entity, a separate company, not a piece of IP.
Really weird. Are there any employees of Harry Potter? What business is Harry Potter in?!

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

What a waste of talent! Verity is a mostly dull film that treats its audience like fools. I suppose die-hard fans of the book might enjoy seeing it play out on screen but I can't imagine anyone else enjoying this.
Here is my 100-word review: https://t.co/dubIiJ2VNR

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

@SethDawkins3 I don’t control how ESPN puts content into its NBA Today program. Sorry.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

3pm ET today... suspect we will be seeing one of these from Downunder.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

@Colttoonnnn Facebook is a cesspool of AI-generated BS.

[Jason Evans @JasonDukeEvans]

If this happens, Mark Pope is getting fired and the Jai Lucas to Kentucky noise is going to be deafening.
