I think Meredith was a hi long before this weekend. So, I think we have three more from this weekend - Currie, the Safety from Alabaster, Alabama (add that one to the OTF bingo card alongside Chaminade Madonna), and Blaylock.

Gerry hit the nail on the head. In an era defined by physicality and the big man, Shaq was physically dominant. The most physically dominant player in NBA history, to the point he dominated Hall of Famers, from Mutombo to Ewing and down the line.

You have to wonder whether Sorsby is placing bets on his case.

Self immolation is exactly the right term. Sorsby is embarrassing himself.

Kessler’s firm has a recognized white collar practice that could take on the various federal and state issues he seems to be dealing with. I bet this silly lawsuit is just one piece of what they’re doing. Sounds like they are playing from behind too. There is NFW that a white collar dude would have recommended this silly lawsuit.

Sorsby’s messaging around wanting to support other teams is also a red flag. It raises the question whether he was taking insider info from his buddies and turning it into bets. That’s a hot button issue right now with platforms like Polymarket. Folks are being charged with crimes, like one recently where a service member allegedly involved in the Iran operation was allegedly placing bets on future military action he allegedly knew about already because he was training for it.

Does anyone know whether Tech is truly out the 6M? You have to think they have a morality/crimes etc. clause in their contracts with Sorsby. Or is Cody just willing to whiz away the money?

I say this as a lib. OTF should keep him around. There's been enough from the snowflakes on all sides of the political spectrum.

I can understand dodging a Notre Dame or tOSU, but Baylor?

Dicker the Kicker’s walk off in the RRS

It is interesting to me that Tech's road opponents have not launched competing suits, i.e. to determine Sorsby's eligibility to play in their states. This would include Oregon (playing Oregon State), Colorado, Ohio (playing Cincy), and Oklahoma (playing OSU). None of those is in the Fifth Circuit. You could say the same thing about how teams/schools reacted (or didn't react) to the Chambliss and Pavia cases.

The sad part is that there will still be all this discussion of teams on the "bubble" that were left out. I realize that UT benefitted from it this year, but what does the "First Team Out" look like when you move to 76?

I don't understand why the Big 10 or SEC would push for 24 right now. It helps the ACC and Big 12 more, by giving them a second, third, and, maybe, fourth team in the Playoff. That will keep the Clemsons, FSUs, etc. happy enough to stay put, when the SEC (or Big 10) would be more than happy to pick off some of them when the opportunity next presents itself.

It was a down year for college football.

If you want to play three rivalry games, play Michigan three times.
