Redtails please. Instantly a top-5 name and honors the historical significance of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Palace of Auburn Hills = Richfield Coliseum One built between Detroit/Flint on an old landfill. The other built between Cleveland/Akron in a national park. IIRC, KU was the final game Friday night, making it optimal for travel (and primetime!), and then Pitt was the first game Sunday. 40 hours of eu...

University of Tulsa’s in the 33rd precinct, it’ll fall within or adjacent to Muscogee territory.



Oklahoma’s a fun state to drive through, with all the different tribal license plates/law enforcement vehicles.

Add 42 to the pile:

MLB receives a boost with fan favorite Joe West returning:

Not speaking for deejay but I’ve been called racist more than once simply for saying “... on Greg Gutfeld show ...”

I believe it. You have people equating celebrating 4th of July with white supremacy.

That's great. Howard president basically just saved the MEAC. With a top-100 academic ranking and $700M endowment, they'd have their options but the President insisted on keeping the MEAC in tact.

Predicting Bubba Wallace will have a career high top-2 finish at Sunday's Brickyard 400 and it'll be a photofinish with Corey LaJoie. https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/200609211055-bubba-wallace-nascar-black-lives-matter-car-exlarge-169.jpg https://imagez.tmz.com/image/b4/4by3/2020/07/01/b4ba03...

Would cost CIAA schools $1.6M to move up to MEAC, before budget increases. Bowie St & Winston-Salem St have said no. If Virginia St doesn’t bite, not sure MEAC has options outside of PBI Chicago St. https://www.journalnow.com/sports/college/wssu/ram-ramblings-expansion-is-hot-topic-for-meac-and-ciaa...

God d@mn, is this the modern-day quality of SI? Sounds like a fantasy a 7th grader would scribble in his notebook during study hall. https://www.si.com/.amp/college/2020/06/29/ncaa-college-football-conference-realignment If this fairy tale wasn't enough, SI has now doubled-down and written another ...

Can Bowie St afford moving up? Their endowment is $8 million which means fundraising borders non-existent. Facilities not good. Virginia St has facilities that could pass as D1 -- the basketball stadium would shoot to the top of the MEAC. It's a financially healthier school at $48 million endowment....

TN State wouldn’t leave OVC for SWAC so MEAC is a non-starter (SWAC>>>MEAC). Winston-Salem St has no interest going down this rabbit hole again. https://hbcugameday.com/2020/06/11/did-wssu-failed-di-attempt-spark-mass-meac-exodus/ So the MEAC’s only real options are Virginia St and Chicago St. And t...

Lol at Jon Rothstein. Just say Dave Reynolds had it. You don’t tweet something out after Dave does and then cite a “source.”

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, & Jon Rothstein reporting something second.

Great series. Like Memphis last year, just wish it was on a weekend. Guess I'll use the 2 PTO days that would've been used for March Madness to drive down to Tulsa.

It wasn’t Redbird’s first conclusion. He just threw the thought out there alongside the consensus racist scenario as possibilities: Whoever hung the noose be them a racist or someone who did it to "help the protest cause", is an awful person that society doesn't really need around. And he turned out...

Do you smell what Bethune is cooking?

If the Sox folded on May 23, 1902 to never play another game, they’d have the same run differential today.

Beautiful news for NFL/NBA/NHL/MLS:

No FBS but a few HBCU games including the high profile Southern/FAMU rivalry. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/sports/ncaafootball/coronavirus-college-football-games-canceled.html?smid=fb-share Southern/Tennessee St in Detroit (9/5) Jackson St/Tennessee St in Memphis (9/12) Southern/FAMU (9/12)

Rattler fans will love the SWAC move. FAMU's home game vs Southern tripled their revenue of any other home game. FAMU/Southern is an elite HBCU rivalry that resonates on the panhandle more than anything in the MEAC. Today's news: the Michigan-slaying Highlanders are on the run to the America East. h...

JTIII is a good coach. Some AD will get themselves a steal.

Princeton
4 years w/ JT3 - 2 NCAA’s, .804 IVY%
16 years since - 2 NCAA’s, .607 IVY%

Georgetown
3 years pre-JT3 - 0 NCAA’s, .395 BE%
13 years w/ JT3 - 8 NCAA’s, .580 BE%, S16, F4
3 years post-JT3 - 0 NCAA’s, .352 BE%

Kirk Ferentz places S&C coach on administrative leave and announces steps to change culture.

Three scandals of racism in 48 hours. The first involves a Clemson assistant who repeated a racial slur in response to a player using it in 2017. He was internally disciplined and keeping his job. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29257844/clemson-assistant-coach-danny-pearman-apologi...
