@BuzzPatterson Watch the full video that includes his stumbling, bumbling, and ongoing interruptions and confusion. Romo was extremely blasted and unable to follow even the most simple instructions.

"Here I am sitting in front of you six years later, saying: Who the FUCK do you think you were to do that?

It is a total disgrace what you did to this country."

About time someone told Fauci off like this.

I’m still not over Stetson Bennett going from a Walk-On to two national championships.

Nobody in College Football has a story like that and it might not happen ever again. #GoDawgs #MailMan

Bryson still took time to sign autographs 👏

Rory did not.

Rory: “Bryson does stuff for attention!”

*Here’s nearly 1 minute of Rory doing stuff for attention.

Kirby Smart is 107-13 against everyone except Alabama, has beaten Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Clemson, Notre Dame and Texas.

Has wins against programs from every P4 Conference, the dominance isn’t just in the SEC it’s in every conference. #GoDawgs

I’ll show you a red card…

[Graham Coffey @GrahamCoffeyDC]

The Dusty May departure is just the latest event in what I have increasingly come to view as college sports’ spring/summer of disenchantment.

In the early days of portal/NIL/lawsuits against the NCAA, the on-field product wasn’t being threatened as much. In the last ~6 months we’ve had…

- The Sorsby situation underscoring a lack of rules/enforcement that can threaten the integrity of the games
- Numerous high profile cases of tampering that apparently can’t be punished
- Eligibility lawsuits going from involving older players like Trinidad Chambliss into involving players who have been drafted into pro sports
- Conferences filled with teams who spent decades engaging in horrible fiscal management trying to force a CFP expansion fans don’t want
- The current CFP selection committee’s inability to weigh schedule strength leading to the cancellation of marquee out of conference games
- Increasing apathy towards recruiting in all sports
- The broken promises of the House Settlement coming into full view, making both fans and coaches feel confused about what the rules actually are
- Coaches leaving during a playoff run because checks promising to fund their own accounts and their future rosters matter more than the opportunity to do something special in the moment

Some of these things speak to the amount of money at stake and the predictable outcome of everyone involved looking to get what they can while they can.

But some of these issues are now threatening the basic definition of a sport (everyone playing their hardest under the same set of rules with players of the same age/eligibility qualifications). If you don’t have baselines then the games don’t have the same meaning.

In the face of all of it, it’s understandable why a young national title winning coach like May is choosing to leave for the NBA instead of pursuing a potential dynasty.

May leaving now instead of gearing up for a run at a repeat while waiting to see if Congress passes a bill speaks to a) how good the opportunity is and b) how bad the situation is in college basketball at the moment

In the broader spectrum, it took college sports 130 years to capture enough interest that fans began to follow player acquisition like a second sport. People are losing interest in the who, how and why that shapes their programs. More and more they’re only interested in the games, and there are forces threatening the amount of passion around certain parts of the in-season schedule.

Everything we know about sports says that it takes a long time to create generational bonds around them.

College sports is well past the point of needing to pull the ripcord and take actions to restore public trust/interest in the who, how and why, and that’s before we even talk about the issues threatening the integrity of the games themselves.

Eventually, purgatory becomes permanent if the people in charge don’t pick a path that leads elsewhere

[Rick @slicric1122]

@abmarkman Yes!

[Rick @slicric1122]

@dawgsmack Sore loser

[Rick @slicric1122]

@bryan_CTP Stop your crying

[Rick @slicric1122]

@DanClarkSports Look at the video closer dude. Never grabbed his crotch
Not even close.
Was it an act of showing up the other team? Yes. But there was no vulgarity. You want to see vulgar. Liberty pitcher was yelling it the entire game.

[Rick @slicric1122]

@vol212320 @jontweetssports Finally a logical reply

[Rick @slicric1122]

@ghostofuptown @jontweetssports Spoken like a true (I can’t even get to the regional final) sore loser Tennessee fan.

[Rick @slicric1122]

@jontweetssports @TheDawg1985 Nothing

[Rick @slicric1122]

@joshkulonger @jontweetssports Dude I’ve seen way worse than what Phelps did. The umpire should be embarrassed. I could understand a warning but what Phelps did in no way warrants ejection. Ump was shit all day. His strike zone was tbd every inning.

[Mallory @mallory_reads]

I love learning more about the players. Great content, Hammy. https://t.co/fgJPetjMO6
