Here’s some light reading for your Sunday afternoon regarding UK’s deal with JMI as I understand it after reviewing the contracts.

Long story short: This can work but JMI has to adapt

It’s a good day for more basketball

OTEGA OWEH FOR THE WIN! KENTUCKY SURVIVES!

Hate to see that for Cooper

Oh man, I love Trim Tab. What a shame

People in Lexington are complaining that Great Crossing High School basketball is on TV instead of IU/OSU. I’m just sad that I can’t watch Malachi Moreno from Charlotte

This is Brandon Garrison erasure!

“Did you see Wicked?”

Uh, did *you* see Baylor beat St. John’s at the buzzer in 2nd OT in a ballroom in the Bahamas to open up Feast Week?

I have just accepted that I will not be productive during Feast Week

I will add it to the list—Christmas movies are a no-go for me until after Thanksgiving

ESPN seems to have significantly more trouble with HDR on their 4k broadcasts than other channels

Am I the only person who likes the goaltending review at the next break? I thought this was a great change

Separately, it is astounding to me that ESPN+ has so many games airing at once and no way to make a multiview without an Apple TV or Xbox. I’ve found myself making my own quad box on my computer more than I’ve been watching on TV

But showing the committee discussing which of the teams with identical records and no common opponents should be in and which should be out would do reality TV numbers

They should be showing the committee debates instead of just the reveal. Showing the reveal has “why are we meeting? This could have been an email” vibes

People were dogging today’s college basketball slate but I watched a 3OT game, three 2OT games and four OT games (including Kentucky WBB).

Awesome stuff

I had forgotten how much overreacting happens as soon as real college basketball games begin

Can you imagine how much Kentucky would be beating Wofford by right now?

This one is some real sicko stuff this year

The craziest part about this is that he speaks like he wants us to thank him for bothering to mention that we won

I added it to my home screen so that it feels like an app

Settings > advanced > change handle

It’ll give you some DNS record text to add to your domain with your host

I had the distinct pleasure of running into and chatting with John Fanta for a few moments at the #ChampionsClassic last night—just the cherry on top of an awesome night of college hoops

Unbeaten teams remaining: 119 (Sorry, Duke. You lost to Kentucky 77-72.)

One of the best things about college basketball is how much of it there is

Proudly displaying my week 1 college basketball poll immediately before noticing the mistakes I made

Am I correct in understanding that the official is being punished because a coach was swearing at him and it was picked up by the official’s mic?

How were we supposed to know what to do?!

Incredibly stupid movie trivia:

Which movie features two robots named Dunkin' and Snoop Dogg?

(if you know, show you know as subtly as you can because it will confuse the heck out of people who forgot.)
