/Jordan Somerville calls a play “AND HERE COME THE BRACELETS! . . . this is a black day for Cal football”

I wonder when the wider college football world realizes that the Lupoi administration has broken JKS. Might happen tonight

Thinking about how I, as a dem, would lose my mind if CA elected a republican senator, and getting evil thoughts about enjoying the inverse scenario

You can watch Cal/Wagner and get out in time for the Mao discussion at Revolution Books today in Berkeley

“Wait you’ve spent how many years writing about Cal football teams that have never done better than 7-5?”

Is this our cosmic punishment for laughing at United for doing the same bit?

In awe that Tottenham handed authority to spend a ton of money to a group of incompetents, finished 17th, then decided "hey let's hand the same group of incompetents even MORE money!"

Yeah I don’t blame teams for optimizing. I just don’t find a phalanx of 101 MPH perfect spin rate freak arms pitching 1 inning to hitters optimized to hit .240 with 25 HRs and a 22% k rate a very compelling watch. Tho TBF I’m a Giants fan and if they were winning I’d probably watch.

Which scares me - baseball has been so completely optimized that it has largely lost what made it my favorite sport 25 years ago. Variety is the spice of life, I hope soccer can keep it in a way that baseball hasn’t

It says something about my relative expectations of both Stanford and Miami that in many ways Stanford has actually played *better* in this game than I expected

Five quarters in and I already have to issue a mea culpa, Davis Warren has been VASTLY better than anticipated, dammit

The Stanford commercial where they brag about “coding ethical AI” really pisses me off since the leaders of various deeply UNethical AI companies are all furdies

Man TCU’s offense really sucks after losing their QB to Indiana. Why didn’t they just recruit a 5star QB replacement?

UNC looking like a standard 7-5 ACC team. Shame, meme UNC was way more fun

Finally found the time to listen to this typically excellent episode of the @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social and: 1. The parallels with college football are just so disturbingly stark 2. What is wrong with me that college football and international soccer are my favorite sports?

I gotta say that the Browns giving their fans decades of putridity, THEN giving a serial sex criminal 230 million dollars means that they fully earned the title of worst run franchise

Pulling a guy with 14 Ks though 6 on just 84 pitches in a blowout is probably the right call for long term health but it’s just so antithetical to what is ostensibly supposed to be about entertaining your viewers.

Not the point here but man the style of writing that CAPITALIZES EVERY OTHER CLAUSE in a sentence really makes my eyes bleed
