The USA sounds electric right now. Also, NBC/Peacock's production value is head and shoulders above anything ESPN does.

Any given Saturday still exists in college football, as do rivalries, playing with a sense of pride, etc.
Beware the purity spiralers that are out here to sell you one something because a completely idealized version of the sport in their head doesn't exist.

This Tech vs. Kentucky friendly in late October has the feeling of a February game.
Way more of this in the college hoops preseason every year, please. 🙏

ESPN's production for NHL games needs a ton of work.
Mainly, there's some sort of issue with how their mics are picking up sound. Effects are delayed, there's crazy reverb from the PA and sound system in the background, and the crowd sounds incredibly muted.

NCAA, it's time to give it a rest. The season is here.
Pack it up, move on, and let's get back to more normalcy next year.
Sources: An injunction was granted in California for the Glancey V. NCAA case, giving all members of the Class of 2022 involved eligibility through the end of the 2026-27 college basketball season.
The NCAA will appeal.

Quick note from my office to @Big12Conference
Ok, if ABC is an option for the broadcast network, College Gameday might actually be in the mix.

I'm predicting that like clockwork, we'll have an ice storm in January or February where we wish the temperatures were only this cold.
I'm ready for your "it's too cold" complaints! The cold front has moved though the area tonight, and look what it leaves behind by Saturday morning. Are you ready for it??

A generalization, but I think there's some base layer of truth to this:
Many people are deeply unhappy because one or more changes have happened in their life that caused them to go into a purity spiral.
Reject black and white thinking about everything. It will eat you alive.

You were not supposed to like something popular because, inevitably, you were consuming something from the tastemakers/gatekeepers.
Social media and the algorithm means creativity is now democratized. Popular content from the common man is now rebellion against the old world.
A big shift that happened during my life. When I was young, if something was very commercially popular, you were not supposed to take it seriously. The popularity was proof that it was mediocre. It damaged its the reputation. If there was some popularity it was ok to take serious, but it couldn't be too much.
The reverse is true now though. The popularity of something is proof of its greatness. And that you should spend time analyzing it. This is for true for movies, music, books, celebrities, games, etc.

Especially as someone who is a hot coffee drinker only, it's basically local, independent shops that roast their own stuff only for me these days.
It tastes at least 100x better. And those places are actually welcoming as a third space.
I almost never go to Starbucks these days, but when I do it is a surreal experience standing in an empty store and watching the barista make a bunch of drinks for people who are not yet in the store before making yours

We're simply just going to kill it in both the portal and freshman recruiting, I'm afraid. 📈

We can be as frustrated with the current state of things in ESPN and college football while still being about the truth.
The over-focus on SEC teams is fair. The idea that visits to non-highly ranked G5 and occasional FCS were once much more common, however, just isn't true.
The revisionist history of College Gameday for the sake of G5 coddling needs to be stopped. Throughout the history of the show, they’ve been on campus for 18 G5 games. 10 of those 18 games were top 25 G5 games, and 3 of those 8 were hosted by service academies (non-Army/Navy standalone Gameday).
To sum it up, if Gameday had gone to Boise/WMU, it would’ve been the 6th time in more than 30 years of the show that they went to a non-service Academy G5 campus for an unranked matchup. Gameday hasn’t lost itself, people are just creating associations that were never there.
