absolutely wild to me that the #CBJ aren’t projected in @theathletic.com’s bottom 16. The gap between fan sentiment and the actual on-ice product with this club is colossal

I wrote about 100 games that brought college football to its current state, from Grantland Rice's poetry, to offensive innovations, to postseason controversies, to all-time upsets, to television spectacles, to realignment, to the epic endings that keep us coming back. www.espn.com/college-foot...

100 games that explain college football in 2026

TV, realignment, stars and legends, postseason quarrels. Those themes have set up epic games and made the current sport.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
