Every year for the past 23 seasons – except 2019 – there has been at least one preseason Top 10 team that finished the year unranked. Which Top 10 team (Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas, Indiana, Miami, A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma) finishes season out of Top 25
Would you punch your best friend in the face as hard as you could to guarantee your favorite college football team a National Championship this season?
The Indians defeated the Red Sox 7-6 thanks to home runs from Travis Hafner, Aaron Boone and rookie outfielder Shin-Soo Choo.
Jake Westbrook picked up the win going 8 innings allowing 15 hits and 6 earned runs while striking out 1 batter on 118 pitches.
I think when the home team is losing 7-0 at the 7th inning stretch, the crowd should have to sing something much more sad than Take Me Out to the Ball Game
#Mariners Ken Griffey Jr. robbed Albert Belle of this home run 30 years ago today, on May 5, 1996.
Junior finished that season with 49 home runs, Belle with 48.

So, the folks at OSU were halfway smart enough to say no to a money-grubbing AI-loving billionaire. Good for them. This guy doesn't want to help OSU sports. He wants money and water and land for his data center. Fuck him.
You've heard me talk about OSU being dead last in Big 12 NIL.
You've heard me talk about the administration that's running donors off.
Now let me tell you about the man who tried to save Oklahoma State athletics — and what OSU did to him.
His name is Rick Sosa. 🧵
