Really smart by Foreigner to record a song they obviously knew would be played by TV networks broadcasting cold & snowy games for years to come.

Music from Indiana’s own John Mellencamp going to break after that fantastic Mendoza TD run is perfection

Rice, Tulsa, Wake Forest, & Air Force are the 4 FBS schools smaller than UW-River Falls. I believe Wisconsin & New York are the only two states with public universities that compete in Division III football.

If you had told me in 1997, when I was listening to Semi-Charmed Life on the radio on the boom box in my college dorm room, that it would be performed live during of a college football playoff game in 2026, I would’ve had all sorts of questions.

Wonderful Christmas in Amsterdam with family that included watching the final minutes of the Knicks’ come-from-behind win! Merry Christmas to all, & to all a good night!

Missed free throws the big story, of course. But if you told me Syracuse would have a chance to beat Houston without their leading scorer, I would take that every time. If the Orange keep guarding like they did today, they’ll be fine.

Walter Alston got hired in part because previous Dodgers manager Charlie Dressen asked for a multi-year deal.Tommy Lasorda’s 3-year contract in 1984 was the first ever multi-year contract for a Dodgers manager.
