I don’t want to go full-rant here, but literally on the 50th anniversry of Marshall plane crash, with Marshall at home, undefeated and ranked, GameDay set up shop at Augusta. You had a chance to say what you are. You did. Disappointing.

- Bama has allowed 72 points in the last 6 quarters. Their 2011 team allowed 105 in 13 games.
- Bengals wins it for Dr. Johnny Fever. Cincinnati, WKRP.
- I once met an AA pilot. Him: “You know why AA IS 12th-rated domestic carrier?” Me: “No. Why?” Him: “Because there aren’t 13.”
- This was actually a good song and Eddie has the chops but America was not teady for Axel Foley to be a 3-tool player.
- Interesting (to me) stat: Coach K the most successful coach of past 40 years, but the best any of his players ever did in an NBA Finals that his team won? Shane Battier's 11.6 ppg in 2012.
- If I am a Big 12 offcoordinator, a Horns Down is part of my hand signals to QB for most play calls.
- ESPN lost something invaluable when it shelved Brent Musburger. A voice of candor, someone who works for the audience, not for the suits. Someone with a sense of humor that remembers its just a game, not a sacrament. The current ESPN voices are highly competent and professional
- He’s rightRick Barry shared his thoughts on the difference in today's NBA.
- Don't care who wins, this BYU-CC game is proof that CFB needs to be open to innovation in scheduling. So much fun.
- Tyler Buchner and Drew Pyne both returning to ND but not for football should be a huge recruiting chip for coaching staff. Tells parents that school’s culture/academics r top-notch (even if some of its alums are a-holes). 😘
- Everyone’s entitled 2 their opinion. This gives ESPN talking heads more to chat about. But the days of a Texas Tech getting to blow up Texas’ season on a magical Sat night are over. The stakes are lower on any given Saturday. The playoffs will be fun. The magical Sats r over
- Currently on ESPN a discussion on “Why The Bucks Don’t Get Enough Respect” and, I dunno, maybe we start with a sports channel that has mancrush on a team with 43 losses?
- The World Cup will have six of the seven continents represented in the knockout stage for the first time.
