The short legislative session of our General Assembly is underway. Not sure they'll be able to top this Bill which was filed on the first day:

(1) A person is guilty of unlawful release of balloons when, within a twenty-four (24) hour period, he or she intentionally releases, organizes the release of, or causes to be released ten (10) or more balloons inflated with a gas that is lighter than air except for: (a) Balloons released on behalf of a governmental agency or pursuant to a governmental contract for scientific or meteorological purposes; (b) Hot air balloons that are recovered after launching; or (c) Balloons released indoors. (2) Unlawful release of balloons is a Class A misdemeanor.
The same level of offense as domestic violence.

Balloon releases are some of the most ignorant memorials/celebrations out there. I hope this law passes and bans them. If you release balloons to represent some sort of significant event, I hope you get an anal cyst.

Balloon trash is very harmful to livestock and wildlife when it inevitably falls and become litter.
 
I’m not even sure how you make a good hire in college sports anymore. If guys like Jimbo Fisher and Brian Kelly don’t work out, then just hire whoever TF you want and cross your fingers, I guess.
 
I like making "Small Game James" comments to my Penn State buddies, but are there really 12 coaches better than Franklin? Dude won at Vandy for Christ's sake.

That's why he still has a job. He is organized, can recruit, use money wisely and has them competitive, at the highest level, to the point you don't look for another coach. Because, as PTI said, you don't know who is going to do better who already has a similar job.
 
ESPN had an article out today re: Congress looking to solve the NIL situation. One piece of it caught my eye:

"Several industry sources said they expect the biggest SEC and Big Ten schools, such as Alabama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan, to demand a bigger proportion of their conferences' television earnings when new broadcast deals are negotiated in the early 2030s -- a move that would drive another wedge between the haves and have-nots."

If this occurs isn't the move for all the other schools to tell Bama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan to kick rocks and they're out and have fun playing each other 4 times each per year? Texas tried to pull this nonsense with the Longhorn Network.
