Ahia State Supporters Put a Stink on Ahia State

They sued Marvin Harrison, Jr. for allegedly breaching his NIL deal.

Be still mine heart! Time to pay back all the negative recruiting we have suffered over the years and steal us some recruits! Suing a player over NIL versus lifting weights with hotties? Pshaw.

EDITED - I linked the wrong link. It was supposed to be a Reddit link to a story about “ Fanatics” suing junior over his deal while at Ahia State.

Came out as an ad about a stupid video game. The Chi-Coms obviously hacked me.

OT: Wow! D-1 team finishes the season with a perfect record...

A perfect losing record that is. Maryland Eastern Shore went 0-48 on the season. Even the worst team in baseball should be able to at least have one game go their way when you play 48 games. I checked their schedule out and they had just two one-run losses among the 48 losses on the season. It's a record that will probably stand forever. Somehow, they finished 304th in the RPI, with Arkansas Pine Bluff finishing last in the RPI at 305 and they had 9 wins on the season.

This is sad and very sudden...RIP Alice Stewart

I disagreed with practically everything Alice Stewart said. She was a long time GOP Political strategist wotked with some real doozies like Huckabee, Cruz and Bachman and listening to her I would characterize her as "Maga-lite". But she always did a decent job of expressing her opinions whenever I saw her in a CNN segment.

Here she is just 2 or 3 days ago commenting on the red tie brigade flocking to Trump's trial...

She wasn't sick and was relatively young (58) so it's a shock to discover that she passed apparently late this morning. They found her in her garden and the most likely cause is a medical emergency, like a heart attack or stroke. Always a shock when someone dies unexpectedly and you can tell her CNN coleagues are devastated..

B1G scores for Saturday and final regular season B1G standings...

Rutgers 12 OSU 1 - OSU could have jumped up to the 6-seed, but their loss gave Purdue the 6-seed.

MSU 11 Neb 6 - The Husker loss gave the outright title to the Illini and it wouldn't have mattered anyway with the Illini beating Purdue later in the day.

Illinois 18 Purdue 10 - The Illini won the B1G title by two games over the Huskers. Purdue was already locked into the 6-seed with the OSU loss earlier in the day.

Minn 4 NW 2 - Both teams saw their season come to an end.

Iowa 16 FIU 4 - Iowa won the non-conference series, 2-1, and they were locked into the 5-seed entering the day.

Iowa's win total includes two wins against non-D-1 teams, while Purdue's win total includes one win against a non-D-1 team. Those wins didn't count toward their RPI rankings.

Is it possible to actually get a Rivals rep on the line?

I may have been hacked. I cannot access my premium account. My email is defaulting to this old user name - not the one I’ve been using for years, so trying to change p/w’s does nothing to reconnect to my premium account.

At a minimum, I need to cancel because I’m paying for premium but unable to access it.

Any helpful recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Trump's bizarrely consistent views

I don't watch the news much, so maybe this has all been covered before.

Here are two collections of clips of Trump speaking in the past. One from 1980, one later in 1988. In both, you have to wade through the goofball partisan presenters and hits on Biden.

A few observations:

1. There have to be dozens of these types of videos. Trump was interviewed by big names for for 40 years before running for President.

2. It's funny how many of these interviewers seemed to think he should run for President in the 80s.

3. He has been consistent in his reading of foreign policy and trade. Don't think that necessarily makes him right, but those policies authentically are what he thinks will work.

4. Didn't know MAGA Australians were a thing.

Wow wow wow Donald Trump saved a young

girl from Yankee Mel Hall. Mel had her living with him in trump tower and trump with his keen sense of human emotions said to the girl: if you need to get out of this relationship I can help you. And that was the spark the poor girl needed

Mel hall thought he was untouchable. He wasn’t. He just needed to run into someone with courage and who put people first

Can live sport win back Gen Z? Gen Z’s overall interest in sports remains significantly below that of older generations

Young people’s interest in watching sporting events is waning, threatening a business model built on broadcasting rights.


A YouGov report last year found that just 31 per cent of global sports fans aged 18-24 watched live matches, compared with 75 per cent for those 55 and over. Instead, younger viewers were more likely to watch highlights clips or interact with star athletes via social media, while a large portion engage with their preferred sports through video games.

Explanations for these changing habits vary, from rising ticket and TV subscription costs which have priced younger people out, to a preference for short-form content, or a simple overload of other forms of entertainment that did not exist when older fans got their first taste of live sport.
Whatever the cause, such trends threaten the long-term viability of a business model built on multibillion-dollar live broadcasting deals and have set off alarm bells across the industry.


Are we seeing the beginning of end of a golden era in sports/broadcasting?

Michigan @ IU, Game 3: IU wins the game and series, 8-4, and clinches the 3-seed...

The winner will lock in to the 3-seed and the loser will have either the 4 or 5 seed depending on the results of other games and the potential tie breakers. Of the teams at the top, IU has the tie breaker over Purdue and Iowa.

It will be RHP Brayden Risedorph on the mound for IU with an ERA of 8.19 in 40.2 IP and a WHIP of 1.65 with an OBA of .271. The batting lineup is the same as it has been to start the series.

It will be RHP Dylan Vigue on the mound for Michigan with an ERA of 7.64 in 53.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.96 with an OBA of .294.

It is 71 and mostly cloudy with the chance of rain at 47 pct. The wind is not much with it being out of the WSW at 6 mph with gusts only to 8 mph. The radar shows rain/storms around Bedford moving just south of Lake Monroe toward the NE, and it looks like it will miss the Bloomington area.

1st inning:

T1st:


Risedorph Kd the leadoff batter to start the game. A liner to Taylor got the 2nd out. Risedorph got another K to retire the side and Risedorph was off to a great start to the game as he put them down in order.

B1st:

The red-hot Taylor leads off. Taylor grounded out for one out. Pyne Kd for the 2nd out.

Mitchell singled on a full count to put a runner on with two outs. Cerny walked to put two on.

Brenczewski flied out to end the inning.

End of 1st: IU 0 Michigan 0
