Time to dust these accounts off. Fourth & Print is growing, so it's time these feeds started acting like a newsroom. Expect reporting, live coverage, behind-the-scenes moments, and the stories behind the games. Glad you're here. We always go for it.

End of Q3. 45-44 CSU. This isn't a track meet. It's like watching the opening round of Hagler-Hearns (you know the one) for three straight quarters. The team that has the most gas left in the tank is going to win this one. Though if CSU sinks a few more free throws, they can pull away.

Halftime at Jones Convocation Center. CSU shots went dry as a desert, and New Haven got a lot of shots that they missed in Q1. 31-28, New Haven. But the CSU Cougars never abandoned their identity of pressing the full court and in pressing the tempo. Plenty of ball left to play.

Fourth & Print @fourthandprint.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
End of Q1. 15-9, CSU. Cougars are absolutely setting the pace and running pedal to the metal to start. Will be interesting to see if either New Haven can take steps to break the full court press, or if CSU has the motor to keep running New Haven out of the building.

Fourth & Print @fourthandprint.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
First timeout in Q1 here at Jones Convocation Center. CSU up 7-5 over New Haven. It's a track meet: CSU playing excellent pressure ball with the full court press and breakneck pace. The next step is getting some of those easy makes.

Notre Dame grad here. We need to play perfect ball next year. I don't like seeing us at the same likelihood of OSU or Indiana. Feels too generous right now.

With 3:57 left in the game, it's 73-56 UChicago. Unless the Bears can turn around their 33% FG numbers and fast, this one is looking all maroons. #D3 #MensBB #NCAAD3 #WhyD3

Halftime at Ratner. UChicago 41, WashU 26. The Maroons have hit over 50% of their shots, had the lead for the entirety of the first half, and have taken less shots than the Bears. The first half has been all Maroon, all the time. Will be interesting to see how they respond after the break. #D3Bball

It goes without saying, but actually I guess it needs to be said: If your reaction to a kicker missing a kick that costs the team the game is to send that kicker and their family death threats, you suck. #Ravens #NFL

This Ole Miss O-Line deciding not to block for three or four plays in a row is certainly a strategy. Somehow it's working. #SugarBowl #OleMiss #Georgia

It is entirely possible to say that the Kansas City Chiefs are a really, really good football team AND say that they seem to get favorable calls from the referees a questionable number of times. It is entirely possible to say Mahoms is a generational QB and also say he's a punk flopper. #NFL

I periodically come back to this video, because his brother's advice is something that inspires me: "Be strong enough to be gentle." In the wake of this deluge of immaturity masquerading as masculinity, I think we could all learn from Optimus Prime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zryf...

Even if you removed the racial double standard from this (which I don't think you can), the fact of the matter is that this is just *annoying* behavior. Brian Kelly behaved like a dick on the Notre Dame sideline and it didn't make him any more popular or endearing.

Okay, but seriously what in god's name is the holdup? Is there some sort of black magic law preventing swift action? Are they just waiting for the proper grift to skim off the top? I know it's not illegal, but it feels criminal to sit on that much money when basic public goods are at risk.

Watching so many of the athletes I admired as a kid allegedly make terrible, terrible decisions as we all collectively aged has been one of the more sobering elements of becoming an adult. Just because you can ball out doesn't make you a paragon of virtue. Need to keep reminding myself of that.

Only DDL could deliver the line "Buzzard's guts, man! I am the President of the United States of America, clothed in IMMENSE POWER...You *will* procure me those votes" and make it sound not cheesy but biblical. And of course TLJ: "Suspend, if only for a moment, your capacity for astonishment."
