    The yearly media poll from my cousin...

    Well to be clear, 4-8 is what the record probably should have been. The full sample size of the season very obviously illustrated the ASU game as a fluke. I think a good indicator is to take all these predictions from mostly lifelong MSU fans, take the average, take one win away and add one...

    Ace Reese so far in the minors...

    That’s really not accurate at all. We currently have two projected Top 15 picks in the first round in our weekend rotation for 2027. Those guys aren’t going to be toiling in A ball for 2-3 years. Look at most all of SEC rosters, and you’ll generally see at least the Friday night guy projected...

    OT: Madison data center tax fight

    Makes sense. For those following the broader stock market right now, the absolute biggest discussion currently happening is whether or not the high bandwidth memory storage required by these data centers to support all the AI infrastructure is enough to bring about a permanent change to make...

    OT: Madison data center tax fight

    When, exactly, was it appraised at $350k?

    M.M. Roberts name coming off MS Southern stadium

    If only they knew at the time how much overkill was incorporated into the design of those grandstands….

    Ace Reese so far in the minors...

    The Fri and Sat starting pitchers for any SEC team are going to be AA caliber at bare minimum….plus the closer and at least one bullpen arm usually. Sunday pitching, maybe not. But there absolutely is AA talent up and down all the SEC rosters, plus legit MLB talent too.

    Pat McAfee

    I’m definitely on team “little too much McAfee happening”, but his on-air reaction on Gameday to the Jalen Milroe LANK story arc was and still is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on ESPN.

    U.S. Debt Hits $40 Trillion

    Excellent points. The national debt has always been one of those weird topics….where so many people are terrified of it, but no one can truly articulate what it would look like if their fears actually came to fruition, or what mechanisms it would take for that to occur. To me, it’s like the...

    Okay, Marvel, I’m in

    I thoroughly enjoyed Thunderbolts. Wakanda Forever was also a LOT better than I expected. Really went into it kind of expecting a mildly entertaining but cheap, exploitative cash grab after Boseman’s death….not a 2.5 hour epic with the character depth and development that it had.

    MLB... Detroit vs Pirates, on ESPN, in case you wanted to know.

    Correct statement. I think I’m bitter that JM could have maybe got a WS ring this year but instead looks like he’ll languish on a mediocre squad until at least 2027.

    I found something out at my specialist today…

    Takes great courage to share the most difficult things about ourselves, and its hard to imagine much that could be more difficult than this. Cheers to you, brother. Hope you find at least some joy each day in this journey.

    Restarting golf after 12+ year hiatus

    High double-digit handicapper and lifelong MSU fan here. Instead of hitting off a tee, I would advise having your caddy throw the ball towards the ground in front of you at about 80mph, and see what happens.

    MLB... Detroit vs Pirates, on ESPN, in case you wanted to know.

    He’s the best one they have…..and is the only serviceable one, really. And I’d correct myself and say he isn’t necessarily trash, but he’s below par for the position. And everyone else they have in the OF is trash. Both JM and BL would certainly be playing everyday, and they might even have...

    The ultimatum rumor mil

    You could make the argument that he should have been fired 2 years earlier, but 2024 was leaps and bounds better than 2022-2023, so I don’t see how that would make sense to fire him then, after the improvement from getting a real pitching coach. I think Lemonis’ termination timing was handled...

    The ultimatum rumor mil

    It would have been near 50/50 either way. UGA would have invaded Bobby Dodd and had nearly half the crowd there, too. Just like Bama does in Starkville when we’re really terrible, but even worse because of the number of UGA fans already in Atlanta area dwarfs the number of GT fans, even though...
