You have to appreciate the FO's commitment to the bit when it comes to signing players with ties to the state.

It was mayhem in the building. If you ever have a chance to go up to Greenville for the tourney, it's absolutely worth the trip.

True, but that hasn't done much to dampen the tension of each matchup. I was at the '24 semifinal where the scrum broke out, and it's probably the craziest rivalry game I've ever seen in person across any sport.

I think South Carolina fans look at this rivalry pretty similarly, and MiLaysia's transfer has only intensified those feelings.

Kiffin attempting one from his own 40 yard line the day before LSU buys him out for $62M.

I don't know, I think I'd settle for skywriting.

This is basically the MLS system, with Designated Player slots on each roster. They aren't totally exempt, but only a fixed amount of their salary counts against the cap (~$800K this season, though that can be further reduced with some of MLS's weirder accounting mechanisms)

if he puts Matt Ishbia on a poster all will be forgiven

elaborate man on fire cosplay maybe?

Patrick Mullins, beach soccer legend Chris Antonopoulos, Elizabeth Gomez. I believe Jen Mascaro is the only Louisianan score for the US national team. Maddie Moreau deserves a mention too as the first from LA to appear in the NWSL.

Peñalties

Men's basketball has to be the funniest possibility, right?

Still the worst margin of defeat any team has experienced in the Hawaii Bowl to date, a truly historic achievement by Senator Football.

One of the most underrated lineman to come out of Bama, his 2020 season was unreal. Led the team in sacks on a defense that was stacked with future NFL talent.

I'm not too surprised to hear that that's common knowledge amongst people in the know. I think the issue is that a lot of times when laypeople or even educators are being told about Ed Tech, we're hearing from sales people rather than educational technologists.

For context, the guy who came out and said this is the president of St. Pauli, a club known for its antifascist politics. And he's one of 10 VPs, so it's unclear how much momentum his statements will carry.

But still, notable that it's being brought up as a possibility.

The Zatarain's Pelicans patch was pretty cool while it lasted

I think a not-insignificant part of why the Zephyrs folded was because of how hot and humid it is in LA for the majority of their season.

Midwood Smokehouse BBQ is relatively close over in Plaza Midwood, as is Calle Sol (Peruvian/Cuban/Chinese fusion place). Seoul Food KBBQ isn't far either.

Manolo's is a fantastic Colombian bakery over on Central Ave, their owner's been one of the most vocal presences for immigrants in the state.

No surprise, when the first one came out Gerard Butler was totally snubbed for Most Divorced Performance

I think it's nice in theory, but it does create some odd results when you look back. Like Al Pacino winning for his role as 'Guy who says "Hoo-Wa!"' rather than his parts in Godfather 1&2, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, or Glengarry Glenross.

I've got good news, I don't think you have to worry about anyone comparing 4-8 Wisconsin to Bama or LSU.

He's a coach, he's only worried about stats and efficiency.

"Decorative souvenir plate from our visit to EPCOT" type of vibes.

I think a lot of the funding for movies like this just kind of got reallocated to IP projects after the MCU came on the scene.

Guy Ritchie was one of the kings of this genre, but after RocknRolla in 2008 he made 2 Sherlock Holmes movies, The Man from UNCLE, Aladdin, and a King Arthur movie.
