It’s not early season college basketball without some games in Uncasville, Connecticut! Here’s the first Saturday Watch Grid

I love that multiple major American cities have a famous Slide That Kills You that is still operational

Ah very true. I was thinking some years it would end with the NIT champ or whatever, but those teams would lose in their conference tournament and hand the baton off to someone that makes the big dance

This is incredible. I wonder if anyone has ever made one for basketball...

They're on there! Bottom of the second picture

College basketball is back! And the first game is already in the 2nd half? Better late than never for the first Watch Grid of the new year. Enjoy!

Baby Lectka is feeling okay about the game so far

Any time a video game advertises “DLC” I read “David Lectka Charles”

TV network dispute means it’s a great day for @stephenhartzell.bsky.social on College Football Blitz

When Jesus gets up in front of his local church in Luke 4 to announce his ministry, he doesn't say "I'm here to forgive your sins so that you go to heaven after you die," he says he's here to set the prisoner free and give freedom to the oppressed. That's the Good News

Caring for the immigrant (as well as the poor, the sick, and the widow) is honestly one of the strongest, easily traceable themes in the entire Bible

Assuming you're just heading straight up I75 from Detroit to Sault, I'd say Tigers game, Frankenmuth, Mackinac Island (stay one night on the island if you can), then Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls once you're in the UP

Sometimes people say "this was a joke for 4 people." I think I just made a joke for 0 people

Chrst Bros? I thought they were called Beta Upsilon Chi

Very proud of my wife, who got ordained as a pastor in the Lutheran church this past weekend! That’s the denomination that supports female pastors and brewing beer, so it works out well for us

I’m convinced the “Big Ten Trailblazers” intentionally picks athletes that were not in the Big Ten when they were in college

This is just specific enough to get me wondering who this person is

Why does the father and daughter in that Hampton Inn commercial show up to the hotel wearing gear for one team and then the next day they’re wearing gear for a completely different team?

Gotta get past Florida National before you can face Florida International

A lot of attention rightfully being given to OK CHRIST, but I'm laughing at the image of ETSU playing a team wearing Chuck Taylors like its 1964

I think the only competition for this award comes from Stamford Bridge and Parc de Princes

LA Coliseum has gotta be the best “second best stadium in a city” on planet earth

Classic Oregon being too far to the left

Things I learned: Curt Cignetti is 64?? He’s older than Jim Harbaugh

Gonna need @jasonkirk.fyi’s expertise on this: UCLA going 1-11 with a win over #7 would have to be one of the funniest seasons of all time, no?

From what I’ve heard, he has a really good attitude about his legacy in the Big Ten basketball universe…but maybe not THAT good of an attitude

In the article is an important point: the only truly retired number is Cazzie Russell’s 33. Players are still able to wear #3 but I believe they’re required to learn about the honored player in order to wear it. Learning about Burke should be a requirement for all future players though

Trey Burke blocking Aaron Craft while wearing the most eye-burning yellow uniforms imaginable

If they want true authenticity, they’ll bring back these bad boys for that game

Extremely well-deserved and long overdue. The best Michigan basketball player of my lifetime

I think to complete this list I need to get to Munich and to both Portlands
