i think by all rights it was a lock before tonight. fourth team in 35 years to start 30-0! but ideally this would shut up anyone still fighting

It's good to see a smart person use the lock word here because some very loud and theoretically influential college hoops media figures have not yet put down their guns on this wildly dumb "debate"

I cannot imagine there is another Athens in the world that has ever produced a more hostile crowd or dangerous environment for a visiting athlete or performer

i see it as the opposite of the point but to each their own. this was the most important sporting event for fans of either of these two teams in multiple decades

unc and duke play a buzzer beater game every three years or so do they not

lol this has crossed into being the best regular season college hoops game in ... decades?

This is the biggest MAC sports moment since the 2003 football championship game in which Ben Roethlisbeger was a QB

Real banger game here. MAC hoops producing one of my handful of favorite college sporting events of the past year right now. ESPN2

Legit respect for the way the commentary team on ESPN2 tonight is handling the Miami NCAA tournament discussion. I.e. not shilling for the network's more powerful partners and being honest about how absurd it is that this could even be a discussion

If this rivalry can't stand, the sport can't stand

I try not to be insufferable about the Pittsburgh writing flops on this show but could not hold my tongue and neither could my brother after the one woman said she attended "Allegheny Community"

The Pitt not throwing in an Andrew McCutchen reference during their July 4 Pittsburgh season WHICH FEATURES A FURRY is such an oversight. The kind of thing I could've fixed for them for one hour of work and a reasonable $25,000 fee. But if the show doesn't want to be accurate, I can't help them

Aston Martin: Driving Our Car Will Maim You | Defector Three days before the first race of the Formula 1 season, it is impossible to overstate just how badly the Aston Martin team, newly headed by racecar guru Adrian Newey, have managed to botch it. Any a...

This is the biggest story in sports right now. The F1 team that is basically a make-work so a billionaire can let his son play make-believe under the Aston Martin banner has built a new car that is poised to permanently destroy its drivers' nerves if driven too long defector.com/aston-martin...

neither here nor there but while using animal metaphors for athletes is at best dicey and needs to be done minimally and with the utmost care, i could laugh for centuries at short-arms NFL guys being called T-rexes

using it right now. i'm about to push this blue button and send this reply into cyberspace

American Airlines is currently a 32-year-old Quad A outfielder having a breakout season with 14 home runs and a .788 OPS at the all-star break. I don't know for sure if the wifi will remain free or where the free in-flight cheese and fruit come from, but I respect late-career improvement

josh allen can only survive if he has a receiver who caught passes from some of the worst QBs in recent CFB history between 2012 and 2017 at the university of maryland

we'll see. could go either way. jayden daniels got piled on at arizona state and still went supernova when he was put in the right environment, and now despite last year he's one of the more interesting young QBs in the NFL

I don't know for sure if Hackenberg's NFL career was DOA because he couldn't properly develop behind an offensive line that barely existed. But I suspect it did not help!

When I was in college and Christian Hackenberg was getting sacked 20 times a game at Penn State, I thought "wow this kid is the biggest bust in recent times." With age, I have recognized that five-star QBs fail all the time and he had essentially no chance of success behind a sanctioned OL

hey, you could say it about hendersonville and be like 70% more white

Very good project worth pledging some bucks to here

yeah, don't think i'd wanna do that. i'm good at making new friends in adulthood but building the whole plane out of new friends is a lot of work

the lane is right there for the Six Restaurant Group to come into town and start throwing its weight around

Asheville is a really great city. I have been there exactly twice, and it's No. 1 on my "well, if we knew anybody there" power rankings

Just got the chance to tell someone to go to this place in Asheville, and it reminded me to tell you all that if you're ever there, you should go to this place and get the corned beef hash. I've been thinking about it for like eight months. Five Points Restaurant maps.app.goo.gl/9Wa5UEmPYeHs...

My favorite thing about the U.S. hockey/Kash story is that I thought it was over but now it's got a chance for a mini-revival on day 11. I want to see if we can stretch it to two weeks

Hearing reports that Aaron Rodgers went on McAfee today and took a strong stance against Kash Patel being in the U.S. hockey locker room. I am not making this up
