How the hell do you lose being up 22-16 in the 4th? That’s going to haunt them.

I am not making this political because it really isn't every person that has served in Washington D.C. has their fingerprints on this because they either voted to make it worse time and time again or weren't able to stop it when they promised to do so. This isn't either party it's both of them. Statement made here it is.

I'm old. As part of my diversification I would like to own some BC (maybe 1). How does this work? My regular investment advisor? Do I have to "mine"? WTF is a blockchain??

And, to quote Jeremy Irons' character from "Margin Call"..."Speak to me as you would a young child...or, a golden retriever"

TIA

Good lord what a horrible take!!!!! They gave him a chance to walk it back and he just continued with the stupidity.

Yes, I realize he walked it back on X today, but good lord. You have to be an absolute moron to say those things in the first place. There is no taking back that horrible of a take.

MOD UPDATE:

FINAL
Penn State reverse sweeps Nebraska in the Final Four (23-25, 18-25, 25-23, 28-26, 15-13) to end the Huskers’ season. Nittany Lions (34-2) will face Louisville (30-5) in Sunday’s national championship match (2 p.m. CT on ABC).

Nebraska held a 22-16 lead in Set 4 and later had match point twice at 24-22 and 24-23. Instead, the Huskers couldn’t close it out and see their season end with a 33-3 record.

Nebraska also fought off two straight match points down 14-11 in Set 5 but still fell one step short of a second straight appearance in the national title match.

It's Nebraska's first reverse-sweep loss in the NCAA VB Tournament since 1982. Penn State makes its first appearance in the national title match since winning it all in 2014.

Final Four results
1 Louisville def. 1 Pitt, 3-1 (21-25, 25-23, 29-27, 25-17)
1 Penn State def. 1 Nebraska, 3-2 (23-25, 18-25, 25-23, 28-26, 15-13)

Pitt had a chance to close out Set 3 with two set points (24-23 and 25-24). Nebraska had a chance to close it all out in Set 4 with two match points. Both failed to do so.

Something happened in an NFL game last night that hasn’t happened since 1976. The LA Chargers completed a fair catch kick. According to NFL rules, if a player makes a fair catch, his team may attempt an unchallenged kick from the spot rather than begin its next possession. If the kick goes through the goalposts, it's worth three points, just like a field goal. The Chargers got a chance to take advantage of the rule when the Broncos were penalized for fair catch interference with under 10 seconds remaining in the first half.

The 15-yard penalty gave Los Angeles the football on Denver’s 47-yard line. After the two teams exchanged timeouts, the Chargers trotted out Cameron Dicker for the 57-yard, fair-catch kick. Dicker knocked the football through the uprights for the first successful fair-catch kick in 48 years, and the longest converted fair-catch kick in NFL history.

I copied and pasted this, so my apologies for the sloppiness.

If not seen, watch this Mcafee Pod with Saban on it, talking about NIL...... Saban and Mcafee are an odd combo, but they actually work..

Until there are caps on how much schools and boosters can spend on athletes each year, college sports have no legitimacy.

For example, there are 134 in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) for the 2024 season. It is insane to pretend the ones in the middle and bottom of their athlete recruiting budgets are competing with schools like Oregon at the top. The whole competition facade needs to end until there are caps, and while we are at it, the concept of student-athlete should go too.

The NCAA is presently irrelevant, but it is still needed to level the playing field and provide some semblance of order to this current mercenary college sports scene.

Presently teams are just buying their trophies. 🏆

I don't care if a guy has X amount years left. They're just going to leave to chase the bag after they built up their stats. Just get some one year dudes. Everybody is a one year dude anymore.
NU football has been dead, but it died a different way this year. Following the local kid through his career at NU is no longer. With roster limits, How many dudes gonna stay at a place 4 years?
