- There's a lot of states I want to explore, Nebraska is near Delaware at the bottom. Props to any wildcat friends making the chore of a trip to Omaha. Also, Jell-O shots are big trash.
- Speaking of losers, the '83 Wolfpack are
suing the NCAA for NIL compensation over their imagery in promotional clips. Torn on this...
...on one hand it's the most pathetic Boomer thing to do and I hope the court embarrasses them in spectacular fashion. That team is remembered for Jimmy V running around like a maniac looking for someone to hug, not any player. You could likely make the case in '83 their compensation of scholarships/room&board/meals/training/etc was fair compensation, seeing as tv rights deals and revenue were miniscule compared to today...
...on the other hand, this is the most logical outcome of NIL. If that goes through, I would imagine any player ever featured in 'One Shining Moment', the Laettner shot participants, Weber's ill-advised timeout and everything else we've seen our whole lives in basketball and football montages will sue as well and thus accelerate the demise of the 2A.
- Heard a stat that puts Scheffler's recent dominance into perspective - since March he has earned more $ than Shane Lowry, a guy who's won the British, been on a Ryder Cup team and no slouch himself has over a career.
- Beer is a no-go these days. Can't hardly down a High Noon or the various seltzer iterations anymore because of the fake taste. Brown water during the day in this heat is a death wish. So at the suggestion of the poster formerly know as
@SAECATFAN going to delve into tequila (Avion), topo chico & lime poolside this weekend.
