the year is 2049. Jeff Capel, with a 576-576 record at Pitt, is being retained for his 32nd season thanks to a recruiting class led by Blake Hinson Jr & to avoid paying a $47 million buyout from a 12-year extension he signed three years earlier after a first-round loss in the 96-team NCAA Tournament

Was about to say I love that Greg Gard didn’t take a timeout on that final possession … until the final possession ended up being one pass and a chucked 3-pointer from 27 feet out …

What’s it like covering Bobby Hurley, the coach? Probably much different than you’d think A question I've gotten often over the years: Is Bobby Hurley as big an a-hole in person as he seems during games? The answer: not at all.

What’s it like covering Bobby Hurley? Probably not what you would expect. ⤵️

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

‘Did you tell him you’re firing him yet?’ The brutal reality of golf’s most intimate partnership There’s no contracts. No job security. A caddie can get hired or fired at any time. But when a pair is together, they’re together.

come for Gabby's opening anecdote on the fickle world of player-caddie relationships. stay for a hell of a good read.

I was at junior at St Joe’s. Myself and 4 degenerates drove overnight, tailgated in the UD Arena parking lot at 8 am, got kicked out of the lot for drinking, found a new spot, went to the game, lost, sold the remainder of our ticket packages, got destroyed, drove home. Whole trip was like 36 hours.

Also Derek Simpson (yes, that Derek Simpson, via Rutgers) might be the most unforeseen First Team All-A10 player of your lifetime.

Your guy Steve Donahue was named A10 Coach of the Year today. That’s the same Steve Donahue who was let go by Penn last year and the same Steve Donahue who was thrown into the Hawks’ head coaching spot after Billy Lange bailed to be a ball boy for the Knicks.

Have to respect anyone throwing up a flex for the 800 people at the United Center, plus Larry Scirotto, in a Tuesday night Big Ten Tournament game.
