Old man take - we’ve got to stop with the football stadium light shows. It’s legitimately dangerous.

I know they have to change it back to their normal floor eventually… but do they?

At the Duke WBB game so just seeing this now. Wow! This is football!

Final from earlier tonight

Coastal Carolina - 68

NC State - 89

Aziaha James and Devyn Quigley score 20+, Wolfpack pull away in the second half

YES

Toby Fournier keeps crushing it for Duke. 20 points already in the third quarter, hit a career-high a while back.

Kaleigh Kurtz (First Team) and Ryan Williams (Second Team) mark the 26th and 27th NWSL Best XI honors for the North Carolina Courage, the most of any club since the Courage moved to North Carolina in 2017.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Joe Burrow?

Are the Chiefs a very good football team?

Yes!

Have they won a lot of incredibly close games and will drift back to the average in one score games?

Probably!

No. 16 Duke women’s basketball gets the road W against South Dakota State, 75-71.

Check out this stat line from Jadyn Donovan:

-23 points (career-high)
-15 rebounds
-4 assists
-4 steals
-0 turnovers

Canes lead it 3-1 in the 36th minute. But, they have not been the better team. They've scored three goals and have gotten outstanding goalkeeping from Pytor Kochetkov. 10 Grade A chances allowed tonight at 5-on-5 is not what the head coach wants to see.

NC State women’s with a tough loss on the road against TCU.

They trailed by 12 in the fourth, cut it to a one-possession game, but miss at the buzzer. 76-73 the final score.

Turns out Payton Wilson is pretty good!

From my poll this week: I call this the SEC Ouroboros

Not calling OPI on this is hilarious

As long as we can avoid a situation where it’s just the best teams getting the best players (I guess that’s what a salary cap does) I’m all about it

It feels like 75% of the time a good QB struggling in the pros says more about the organization than the actual prospect

The offensive version of this is when a player signals for a first down when they are very, very short. This should be a penalty.

Football Pet Peeve:

When a defensive player picks up the ball and starts running it back like it’s a fumble when it was OBVIOUSLY not a fumble

UNC Field Hockey heading back to the Final Four for the 15th time in the past 16 seasons.

Tar Heels beat Duke 3-0 this afternoon.

Justin Tucker missing two field goals is a sign of the end times

How do the Steelers always do this?

That's the most in UNC school history, tied with Mike Voight, Amos Lawrence, and Natrone Means.

My most millennial characteristic is my inability to pose well in pics
