I doubt 99% of the country is college football. Yes it may be more popular than college basketball, but 99% primarily are college football fans ? Maybe I misunderstood your post, but that number seems really high. March Madness is huge and it doesn't become so big without a lot of fans.
Also, Tatum 36/8/10, Lebron's 3rd straight triple double, he had 35 /12 /14. The night before, Herro dropped 40 /5 / 8. Lots of triple doubles or near triple doubles. Fox had 29 / 6 / 10 on Tuesday. One thing I did NOT have on my card, Grady Dick averaging over 20 and playing like he is. I knew he was talented, but 20 ppg in his second year I never expected. And we hear "stay in school", LOL.
In today's press conference Pope essentially said "these guys aren't computers" but coming from him it sounded like a lecture from a MIT professor.
I hope not. We might actually get pushed if he’s in the locker room
Official spokesman of GenX.
This fight looks as staged as humanly possible. If it wasn't for the fact that even if Mike Tyson made a deal to take a fall, he still might murder Jake Paul for sheer sport because he's Mike effing Tyson this would obvious.
otoh Mike Tyson is an almost 60 year old man dealing with bleeding ulcers and sciatica.
I don’t know if Tyson can hang for the long haul but I watched a video of him training for this fight and if he’s able to land one of those famous uppercuts he may knock him TF out. Old dude is still lightening quick, looks stout as ever and don’t discount “old man strength “
It cracks me up when I see media and certain fans say this kind of stuff. The need for unconditional love from the fanbase towards a coach that makes millions upon millions to coach a team. GTFO with that nonsense. This isn't the equivalent of supporting your child thru an 8 hour swim meet for Christ's sake!
I'll support them when I feel they deserve it.
If any of you all are tuning in to see Tyson knock that doucher out, I'm afraid you're going to be sorely disappointed. And yes, this feels as staged as the "softball toss" at your county fair's carnival midway.
Mike Tyson has spent the last few years sharpening his mind by solving mysteries and, apparently, embracing nihilism. I think he’ll be raring to go!
… and smoking a metric ton of weed there for a few years. I’ll tune in the same way I flip on WWE from time to time. Same thing.
It is interesting that you can place bets on it.

I think Jake Paul might be a legitimate boxer. He's not had many fights, but has defeated a few quality opponents. He's the type of fighter Tyson would've KO'd in the first round in the '80s, tho.
Tyson was washed up and already didn't look like himself 20 years ago. Sadly, I don't think he can hang, assuming this fight will actually happen and isn't staged.
I miss big time boxing. Can't beat the hype around a 80s-90s Tyson fight. Order some pizzas, beg dad to order the PPV (didn't take much convincing) and have some friends over from the neighborhood to watch a 30 second absolute slaughter.

The Pauls are twats but both Jake and Logan are pretty incredible athletes. Logan does wrestling moves that should not be easy for a guy his size and makes it look effortless.
I wouldn’t fight Tyson if he were a quadriplegic though.

Fans support the program and any part of it that is contributing to its success. Any component that isn’t falling in line with that goal is useless.
Where the hell is the behind the scenes recap video?
The implication being … I think it’s fixed in some fashion. Didn’t think that was hard to understand given the context.
Pretty bold take insinuating that a boxing match involving millions of dollars might just be a publicity stunt. Care to back that up with any facts?
I know this - middle school/HS aged boys are PUMPED for this fight. Both of my boys are going to buddies houses where they’re having watch parties. Match definitely has a WWE work feel to it, but so what? It’ll still be entertaining. And at the end of the day, that’s all anyone cares about. That, and live, nude women.
Don't care if Tyson is almost 60 and was washed up 20+ years ago. I am still taking my mind back to his glory days and the excitement I got watching his fights. Being able to see a legend one more time is a treat. Staged or not, he is in good shape and seems to still have a little left to beat up a scrub like this Paul kid who he would have knocked out in a less than a minute in his prime.
Mike Tyson doesn't seem like the type to play to a script inside a boxing ring. The fix is in if it goes to a decision, but I feel like Iron Mike is going for a knockout.
Mike has reached deep inside that dark place to resurrect a sleeping inner beast and it ain’t play’n…
Gen X is getting old. Do it for us Mike. Forget the script.
Did not know about the fight until yesterday, actually that post piqued my curiosity.
Hard to image 30 yrs ago we were paying $79.99 for a Tyson pay per view and $28 for a beast light keg from shoppers. 20-30 ppl throw in $5 each covers the nut.

Came in to see if Paul is an actual professional fighter. I didn’t know him until a month ago, and don’t care enough to go digging on YouTube. What’s the “professional boxing writer” critique? If he isn’t sound mechanically, he’s fighting one of the best to ever do it, who looks to be in good shape, is acting kinda pissed like ca. 1992 Tyson was, and is just crazy enough to try and actually hurt someone.
Or, maybe Paul is legitimately good and Tyson’s age makes this a fun 4 round thing where it’s called on TKO legitimately.
What’s funny is I have no clue which way it’ll go. Neither of them winning would surprise me.
Very intrigued and will be watching, even with a very early wake up tomorrow for volleyball.

It's really hard to tell how good he is but Pretzel kind of hit the nail on the head. He's athletic and has been training in Boxing for quite some time now. He's only really fought retired UFC guys and other celebrities. The one time he did step in the ring with another actual boxer, he lost (Tyson Fury's little brother).
Realistically, any semi-pro boxer (that isn't ancient) with experience smokes him, but he never fights those guys.

I had a dream last night - well really it was that period between like 4:30 and 6 where you’ve waken up and gone back to sleep but you’re not actually asleep because old but you still have some wild ass dreams - and Mike hit Jake square on the first punch, and Jake’s head blew up, and a bunch of butterflies came fluttering out of the void where his head had been. It was wild.
I also had a dream the second night after the Duke game (so wed into thurs?) that Pope dies of a massive coronary sometime in the dead ass of winter/conference play - like, February 5th. I take this as my brain/spirit refusing to accept that everything is as good as it actually seems right now and instead conditioning me to accept inevitable defeat and shattered hopes.
Thanks, Cal!

Where does Purdue find all of these 33-year-old church league-lookin’ dudes? Does living in Indiana just age you that much faster?
