The biggies were mostly Friday (no capacity to hold other high-D1 sports on Saturdays in the fall) and continued the theme of “BYU and NC State vaporize everyone in their sights, with no clue what they’ll do to each other in three weeks”

If you're struggling in a workout or race, break it down.

Get to the next lap, tree, turn, whatever. Give yourself bite size chunks that you can manage.

You'd be surprised how long you can keep bargaining with yourself to make it to the next landmark.

Endurance sports are about figuring out how to get your body as close to complete exhaustion as possible.

Yet, endurance athletes seldom go to that place in practice. It's very rare. Even on hard days, you push, but have more in the tank.

Patience. Know when to push.

It should be uNC, because they already played themselves this year by giving Bill Belichick $50 million

You guys seriously underrated this game at #7 for the week. It might be a top ten Sickos game of the year.
BBQ truck fire
Thicc Six
Hollywood Smothers (name & player)
Flags on flags on flags
Perfect punt
Ref ends Wake’s hopes with his balls

The vast majority of hard workouts should be about a 7 or 8 out of 10.

Have another rep in the tank.

Going to complete exhaustion looks great on Instagram. But it isn't best for your long term performance.

Save the max efforts for race day.

I’ve spent weeks on the NC A&T campus, and decades in NC, and never, ever heard anyone call anything “NC Tech” or refer to that university as “Tech.”
But I have seen a lot of A&T swag that says “N.C. A&T State University” which as an NCSU alum I always thought was an attempt at stolen valor.

Fort Mill explicitly selects for “white people too conservative for the suburbs in North Carolina.”
Did they not notice when the real estate agent made a point of showing all the nearby churches?

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

I feel like this is erasure of the Whalers’ two years in Greensboro

Josh you have to realize this was the sane alternative.
No, really. He’s the one that took out Madison Cawthorn in the primary.

It's tragic Mack Brown wasn't given another year to complete the bookend 5-game losing streaks to NC State.
But I was there for the first five, and can genuinely say 151-45 makes it look closer than it was. @edsbs.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

Isn’t the argument they were such bad generals it literally aided the U.S. cause?

Further research not in fact needed

I’m in the stands and there are Furman students directing very non-Baptist comments at him every time he goes to the line

I’ve been to every non-Covid SoCon final since 2018 - this is by far the best atmosphere

You have opportunity after opportunity to create something lovely for yourself or others. Every moment you choose to sit and think about horrors beyond your control, every time you make the choice to look for more and more details about just HOW bad... you are turning away from those opportunities.

I’m sorry sir I don’t gamble at all and I still rank 2023 Iowa Under as the number three sports event of the decade, behind NC State’s Final Four run and the Paris Olympics.

I’m 6’1 and had a 6’10” college friend who played in the NBA
And when I saw the Sixers in the Charlotte airport Manute Bol absolutely broke my brain.

Stop halfway resting and halfway working.

We spend too much time in this in-between zone of kind of doing work, but not doing actual deep work.

Work deeply. Rest deeply. Get out of the middle zone.

No the most #goACC option possible is for the ACC champion to be the team ACC fans forget is in the ACC even when specifically discussing schools that joined the ACC in last 12 months
