    Damnit Adidas...

    I think I saw someone post an NC State version on Twitter? If so, I can’t imagine they polled all their schools to get their ok. I assume someone from adidas just tells them that “this is what this year’s design looks like.” And I hope that person gets fired.

    Thunder & Lightning: Making A Case for Sawyer Robertson

    I would still go with Will this year, but I think y’all missed an important part of the argument for Sawyer (or maybe you just assumed it?). It’s not just, as Robbie said, that Sawyer can throw farther and harder. It’s the effect that stretching the field can have for the rest of the offense...

    The Bulldog Box Score and More: MSU cruises past UAB

    Joel T, I have a random question that’s been bugging me for a while. Is there a reason you don’t use brackets when editing someone’s quote? I note that you use parentheses instead, and as the son of an English teacher and one who does a fair bit of writing for work, I have been wondering. I’m...

    Anybody heard of this guy?

    I actually know Robbie quite well. Went to church with him while I was an undergrad. Great, great guy. Very interesting fellow. Not to mention that South African accents are fun.

    Sous vide tips or recipes?

    Seconded on the fish. After starting to cook sous vide, I learned that I’ve been overcooking my salmon my entire life. My wife and I love it. I just use a big pot to hold the water. We’ve done steaks, chicken, pork tenderloin, pork chops, and salmon. All great. Even done burgers, too (don’t...

    Leach prepared to fight TX Tech.................

    Did I miss something? Does $2.5 million somehow equal $250,000 (which is what the article said he’d spent so far since Jan 2018)? Heck, that’s a solid investment if he can win. 10x his court costs so far. And that’s not even counting the idea that TT might be forced to cover court costs.

    Lets check in on Florida's new baseball stadium

    We’re a little more landlocked than they are, though, right? What would expansion look like for either stadium? More chair backs mean more empty seats for non-conference play. I want the ability to make it look even better in the future, but I’m not sure what it would look like

    Lets check in on Florida's new baseball stadium

    Goodness I hope their fans don’t complain about berms... The one thing I like and wish we would do eventually is the ribbon board that separates the upper and lower decks. Not necessary, but I think it elevates the look.

    Southern Miss an adidas school?

    Just for fun, these are the Nike schools in the Power 5 that I consider to be ahead of or level with us (whether by prestige or current performance): Alabama Florida Tennessee LSU Georgia Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Penn State Clemson FSU Oklahoma Texas Oregon USC Stanford I get that...

    Southern Miss an adidas school?

    I like Nike gear as much as the next guy, but are we just going to ignore the fact that our contract with Adidas is infinitely better than anything we’d pull with Nike? Off the top of my head, I can only think of a handful of Adidas schools who are ahead of/level with us in priority: A&M, Miami...

    Cheapest Option for SEC football

    One thing to consider, re: CBS [See edit below.] I stand by all this, but I just saw that our game with LSU will be the 2:30 CBS game, which reminds me of something I forgot to mention above. Sling doesn't carry CBS, so you have to figure out the random week(s) we play the 2:30 game. If you...

    Cheapest Option for SEC football

    I just had to re-do the math when YouTubeTV raised their prices again. Sling is definitely the cheapest option. Get the Orange lineup plus the sports package. It’s more expensive than it used to be, but still the cheapest option out there. I haven’t used Hulu Live (it’s more expensive), but it...

    Little birdie says ACC announces formally this week no non conference games

    And I think having conference-only schedule allows the conference to have more control over what the teams are doing regarding the virus. The ACC can't control what all the smaller conferences are doing to test or treat players, but it can have a say for its member teams.

    Cowbell superstition

    I heard it when I was a freshman in 2009 and my big brother (an MSU alum himself) gave me my first bell. We retold the story frequently when I was a Roadrunner and when I worked in the Admissions office. Honestly I always loved telling families that because I would always drop them back off at...

    OT: Chinese Replica NFL Jerseys

    Seconded. I saw an ad on Facebook for a $30 Dak Cowboys jersey and wanted to buy it. I went to Walmart and bought a $50 Visa gift card to use. When I tried to pay with it online, I got an error message. I emailed the site admin (a sketchy Gmail email address), and I got a typo-laden response...
