I hope @AndyTFE was out early to see JMO and Big Potty on #1. Living up to the billing...pure cinema!

@OhioTate It's embarrassing that it seemed to be unanimously against you. Who hires these people? That's 100-level knockout strategy.

@AForeman859 @JonRothstein Did teams 33-64 not "make the tournament" when it expanded from 32? Asinine take. The tournament expanded. They were in. "Play in" language is whatever, meaningless

@KylePorterNS Disgusting behavior unbecoming of the best player in the world.

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@the_og_ktg @burroaks77 @jlarkytweets ..so many have clearly succumbed to. And people whose livelihoods depend on dumb money are pissed. Does 100% of the betting population behave the way the author did? No. But to completely dismiss it is coming from a place of bias.

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@the_og_ktg @burroaks77 @jlarkytweets Is it a perfectly "fair" article? Maybe not. But it doesn't take a shot at pros trying to make a living with discipline. Doesn't say the industry needs to be shut down. While it certainly does have the slang SB is "bad", I think it somewhat realistically IDs the trap/addiction

@Graham_Couch Everyone apparently wants to 👑 their asses (Dennis Green). That's fine. No doubt they are much better this year. But no one expected a loss to UW. Couple tough midweek road games. Just pointing out results last year hard to imagine in mid Feb too. Unexpected shit happens

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@Graham_Couch You're probably right. But 2-2 or 1-3 across Purdue, ILL, Iowa (road) and MSU (home) wouldn't even necessarily include a true slip up. All high quad 1s. UCLA or NU, would be a Minny-esque slip. Here were standings on February 20 2025. UM better than last year but lot can change

@BrianSuttererMD This is all a cooked up drama to give NBC fodder while glorifying her ego. Why was she swinging from a rope from that helicopter? There wasn't a more reasonable/safe way to get her to a hospital? Or was it all for spectacle?

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@Graham_Couch @chrissolari @RealTonyGarcia @Andrew_Birkle Two things:
1) The homerism dripping out of every statement and tone from your UM "peers" was nausea inducing.
2) Solari's argument about Izzo's comment on the B1G tourney and argument for why it means matters was utterly incoherent.
3) thx for being the voice of reason

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@Graham_Couch Meeting the fans where they're at, if you will.

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@BenColeyGolf Is it a-"didn't want to" attend again, b-didn't "feel comfortable", or c-didn't feel "safe" (not specifically brought up here). Three distinct feelings and which it is would help inform whether the question is valid or overly dramatic

This header thing might get me to retire from twitter permanently

[McNick @mcnick_4]

Sold final 2 tickets. Cleared 60% after all fees. Probably scummy but if not me, a broker. Probably left some on the table. Didn't wanna get caught in a fire sale week of event. Free Jones beach parking pass to any SGS listener who wants one. DM for transfer cc @TheRealPJClark

[McNick @mcnick_4]

Follow-up. Sold two tickets, have two + parking pass remaining and I'm in the black. Brokers still expecting to make a killing despite corrupt PGA of America pricing scheme.

@PEMulroe He being Gotterup

[McNick @mcnick_4]

@PEMulroe Ah, so difference of the use of "hide". Ive used and (I think?) seen used "run away and hide" for like a Rory, Scottie, Tiger (RIP) type where you just expect the guy to take the lead and quickly put everyone else to bed. To your point, he's not one people would fear doing that

[McNick @mcnick_4]

This year's edition with an inadvertent cap tip to Oakmont. Ridiculous but perhaps not as ridiculous as the original challenge.

[The Shotgun Start @TheShotgunStart]

Remember: it’s 3-1-3 challenge week for the Rocket Detroit classic. Walk/run/amble precisely 3.13 miles (not an tenth more or less!) and share it with the community. There are no proceeds or benefits. Just senseless amusement.
