I’m either going to be very right or very wrong about Ohio State it seems

michigan has for many years formed the exact line between "b1g elite" and "bubble in." for me success this season is planting themselves firmly above that line. with a strong b1g i think any double-bye is great, the goal is to head to the BTT knowing you get to open NCAAs at Crisler.

#Cavs unveiled their Classic Edition uniforms this morning and the floor that will go with it. They'll be worn in eight home games and three away games this season (including Christmas!).

Absolute perfection. 10/10. No notes.

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

In case my Ohio State football fandom ever comes into play I would like it clear this is my opinion of Michigan women’s basketball and Michigan football

I used to post this with every Michigan preview, but even two years ago what she had accomplished with this program is unreeeeeal

Add two more NCAA Tournament appearances, an extra tourney win and an AP Poll finish to this

Before Kim Barnes Arico, 38 seasons: Michigan had made the NCAA Tournament five times, had two NCAA Tournament wins and its best finish in the Big Ten was fourth. It was ranked at the end of the season one time.

Since Kim Barnes Arico, 11 seasons at time of post: Six tournament appearances, nine tournament wins, first ever program Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight appearances, four top four finishes in the Big Ten and three straight finishes ranked in the AP poll

Yeah if that happened against me it would have probably created a lifelong enemy, I get it

I am a strong Core Four believer until the wheels fall off so I am glad they kept it together again for a season where the East feels sooooo up for grabs

Wyatt @hooplawyatt.bsky.social · 1d

good news for everyone (no one) is that I WILL talk into the abyss about the Cleveland Cavaliers on here all season no matter what engagement it gets

Andrew Tobolowsky @andytobo.bsky.social · 1d

I AM really struggling with how little NBA talk there is on here and I'm tired of pretending I'm not. Ratio me, it's a badge of honor.

Wrote about some of the favorites for National Player of the Year, as well as some other names I think should be on the radar heading into the season

The Case for Player of the Year Favorites

The absence of JuJu Watkins this season is not only significant for USC, it's also massive for the national college landscape. For the second straight season, the reigning National Player of the Year...
