Thanks, NJ. Perfect 1st pitch times, who wants to watch baseball in the sunshine, and there is a lot to do in Austin during the day. Buy some righteous tacos and drive by Sark's place. It's all about the student-athlete, right?

Thanks, NJ, for this and all of the other great posts. Ridiculous. Another long wait for teams with a 1st round bye. To date, the 8 teams with byes are 1-7 in the 2nd round. 13 days between the quarterfinals and semifinals. 13 or 14 days between the semis and the champ game. (Is anyone still awake? Or, are they watching NFL PO games?) Tony Petitti's 24-team format is so much better than this stuff, including the season starting and ending earlier with a field double the size, and two bye weeks for every team every season. Even Inspector Clouseau knows this is FUBAR - 'Do you have a license for that monkee? Can't you read the sign? What, are you blind?'🤬 The final seal of a 24-team approval - Paul Finebaum hates it. A completely objective POV, of course. 🤪

The folks at Trojans Wire know that the game against Oregon in LA is B1G. https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/trojans/football/2026/06/01/usc-football-first-biggest-test-oregon-ducks/90322191007/?utm_source=smg-trojanswire-strada&utm_medium=email&u

Don't mess with Texas Tech - On3Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell doubles down on calling....

Great comment, David, thanks. BTW, I miss Monday with Marsh. From what I've read and also heard in Dixie, with Florida and South Carolina in the conference, the SEC is not that interested in FSU and Clemson. The team in the south that is considered to be the prize is North Carolina, where the B1G and the SEC do not have a presence. The rumor is that the B1G would take both UNC and Duke to incentivize UNC to go B1G. Both are AAU member schools and are more aligned with Big Ten academics than any other option. What Texas Tech has going for it is booster Cody Campbell's ability to write large checks. I think TT would be willing to join the SEC at a reduced revenue split. But both Texas and A&M would push back. A&M beefed about the conference bringing in Texas and Oklahoma, but the brands overcame any dissent. ESPN's willingness to pay more for the additional inventory also helped. How would ESPN value adding teams in markets that are covered today? I hope CFB moves to a 24-team format as soon as possible to avoid a Super Conference and a Group of 8.

At a meeting of Texas alums in Houston, Sark, after criticizing Ole Miss for having a Basket Weaving major, called out TT's 2026 schedule; he wasn't wrong in doing so. The Red Raiders' schedule is a joke. You can bet 😁 that Larry, Moe, and Curly could take turns playing QB, and TT will finish no worse than 11-1. Cherrios? No way, the opener is against the Abilene Christian Wildcat (not cats), a team skilled at turning the other cheek. Sark is making friends all across Dixie. Texas does have a tough schedule this season. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-rankings-toughest-schedule-stretches-2026-big-ten-sec-cfp/

Amen. And another, and perhaps the principal reason why the CFB playoff should expand to 24 teams.

Terrific article by Scott Dochterman on The Athletic ($ Wall) today. Scott has done a 180 on the 24-team CFB playoff. He now believes the expanded field will not ruin the regular season but save CFB from consolidating into a Super Conference and an G8.

Sloopy and OBD! 😁

Thanks for the great coverage. I feel sorry (😁) for the New World Pac- 8 plus Gonzo. PK packed by OBD fans, perfect. Let's get Long Horney!

Saint Mary, full of baseball pain. ☹️

An obscure insight into the not-so-obvious. 🤪

Well, there are a couple of Bulldogs and Tigers, and also Gamecocks, Wildcats, and Gators, roaming around. And Longhorns can get horny, especially when the conference is overwhelmed by a Crimson Tide. Aggies? I got nothin'. Once again, Tony Petitti sits back and relaxes, even though his conference is the Gary Cooper of CFB; too many High Noons. I guess when It Just Means More, you're far better at micturating and moaning over things B1G and small. 🤪

Was-Up - Oregon Ducks On SIOregon Coach Mark Wasikowski Makes His Feelings Clear on...EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon baseball is one win away from advancing winning the Eugene Regional after shutting out Washington State 4-0 Saturday night at PK Park. The

Looking All the Way Down the Road - FWIW - This is a Homer Quack, Not Simpson, prediction from SI(gh.) Yes, the roster on paper looks to be as talented as any in the nation. But it's a 12-game season compressed into 13 weeks, with one bye, and the Ducks are the only Big Ten team playing eight straight Big Ten games without a week off. I see a tougher game against the preseason top-ranked G6 team with everything to prove, Boise State, than the predicted 42-14 Ducks. The Ducks will be underducks in Columbus, but I don't think OBD loses by 17 points. Oregon has to travel to the Eastern time zone after playing Northwestern at home in what I hope will be a 12:30 PM Pacific time kickoff. Ohio State will be traveling back to Columbus after playing USC in LA, with a likely 10:30 PM body clock kickoff time. I believe OBD will defeat Michigan by more than three points in Autzen and will not defeat Michigan State 45-0 in East Lansing. Pat Fitzgerald's team and the fans will be fired up on a cold winter's night, and Fitzgerald's teams play solid defense. Overall, I think the win/loss 11-1 prediction could happen, but the predicted scores against many conference opponents IMO disrespects the strength and the depth of the Big Ten. And, BTW, Oregon is the hunted, a team every other B1G program wants to take down. Thanks, Steven, for the above post. Week 2 at Oklahoma State? The waters may run still, but the alcohol? Two games out of the box against teams with solid reasons to win and prove their national bona fides. This is not the Cowboys team OBD destroyed in Autzen last season. This will be OK State's home opener in a tough place to play. The first game of the season, where crowd noise could affect the play of an O-line with two new starting tackles. The only complete layup on the schedule is the Week 3 game against the Portland State Vikings. BEAT BOISE!

Gat, I've watched SEC football for decades, and I love the player's skill and the fans' passion. Sankey, of course, needs to support his conference, and the ammunition is there when you look at recruiting rankings and the NFL draft. But I grimaced at the 'far better' statement. Tony Petitti lets the scores speak for themselves, which in the short run garners less press, but in the long run seems to work out for the best. I'm hoping that Sumrall is the right guy for your Gators. All the best.
