    UniWatch: Dowsing-Bell Alternates

    Is it just me, or are the Dowsing-Bell alternate uniforms the best uniform, regular or alternate, we’ve had? I love them in all their simple, retro glory. I would not be mad if they became the permanent uniform going forward...

    MLS signs a 10 year, $2.5 billion deal with Apple

    My final 2-cents on this MLS/Apple deal… If they let Alexi Lalas anywhere near these broadcasts, I’m throwing my Apple products in the river and buying Androids.

    MLS signs a 10 year, $2.5 billion deal with Apple

    This seems like a great deal for MLS. They get guaranteed money - $250 million per year. Plus, they'll split subscription revenue over the $250 million with Apple each year. I read where some analysts think this model could be the new path all leagues follow. Additionally, the schedule will...

    Left Field Lounge at Davis Wade

    I wish we'd tear down and rebuild similar to what Oregon State is doing. I've been to that stadium (before this renovation, obviously). It's a great stadium - close to the field, loud, intimate setting (not overbuilt) with covered seats on both sides. They're currently tearing down the "old"...

    YNWA!!!!!!!

    Really impressive what Klopp and LFC have done in the last few years, without relying on the "blood money" to buy titles. Looking at you Man City, PSG, Chelsea... I'm not a LFC fan, but I enjoy watching them for that reason. I think Salah will re-sign eventually. I'm not sure where else he...

    Wow WLBT bringing the heat this afternoon

    That full Q&A with Bryant is damning. His defense is "Aw shucks... I just wasn't paying attention." Of course, like any guilty Southern politician, he plays the "Jesus card" followed by the "loving grandpa card" at the end, when he knows he's been had. The reporter did a good job of not...

    OT: Philbilly and Favre

    One other point on all this... I've been told by someone who knows a lot about this case that some of Shad's public comments about the case (whether intentional or not, but probably intentional), could jeopardize prosecution of anyone involved. So, like you said, I think he's smart enough to...

    OT: Philbilly and Favre

    When Shad White learned of this corruption and took it to the local DA, instead of the FBI, that should tell you all you need to know about his loyalties. He was never going to betray his old boss Phil - and he had to know Phil was involved from the start. Shad is ambitious (and smart). He...

    Soccer Post: Reports say Arsenal are targeting USMNT GK Matt Turner

    Would love to see him at Arsenal, but I don't see him or anyone taking the job from Ramsdale anytime soon. That guy has been solid. BTW, for you Arsenal fans, do you listen to The Tuesday Club podcast hosted by (British comedian) Alan Davies? If not, I highly recommend. It's hilarious and full...

    SEC Baseball fan account with a Good Question...

    I've posted this before but Ebbets Field Flannels has this sweet 1950 MSU road jersey reproduction. They're hand-made so not cheap ($215), but really high quality stuff if you've never shopped there...

    Mullen and Stricklin

    Another opening that will be attractive is University of Washington. They fired their coach, Jimmy Lake, this weekend. The school has a lot of money, a good recruiting area (plus ties in California) and it would be less of a challenge to run the table and make the Top 4/playoff from the Pac 12...

    Pricey but cool MSU jersey...

    A friend sent this to me last week and I wanted to pass along, in case you need somewhere to spend your Christmas bonus. Custom-made 1950 MSU baseball jersey from Ebbets Field Flannels. https://www.ebbets.com/collections/collegiate/products/mississippi-state-1950-road-jersey

    Let's engage in some reckless speculation. What's coming out about the Redskins?

    And, last week, it was reported that several of their high-profile minority shareholders, including Fred Smith from FedEx, were actively trying to sell their shares. Sounds like they're all trying to flee the sinking ship. Dan Snyder has been a disaster as owner of that team.

    Must Pay to Play for St Johns College High baseball (MSU signee James Wood left)

    Hopefully, this article won't be paywalled by the Wash Post. It sounds like a complete racket by the coach at St Johns College high school in DC. He requires everyone on the high school team to play on his summer league team (but says he doesn't profit from the summer league team) or he kicks...

    Jackie Sherrill and Bonnie Bishop: Lessons From Football and the Music Business

    Found this podcast on the Texas Monthly site if anyone's interested. I haven't listened to it, so I have no idea if it's worth listening to... https://www.texasmonthly.com/podcast/jackie-sherrill-bonnie-bishop-lessons-football-music-business/
