Wait, Robbie Avila is still in college?

I'm just here to talk about college basketball and cycling
i've been on the internet for a very long time in a lot of permutations and i can say from hard-earned experience that it's more fun to just talk about your interests and find others who also have opinions on them instead of trying to small fish big pond the designated topic of the day.

It’s funny how the Rose Bowl under a cloudy sky just looks like the Big House

I remember how mind blown I was when I discovered this connection. And it makes your car look like a snail!
Have said this before but Sears calling its external cargo box the X Cargo, and using a snail as the logo for both the cargo purposes and the escargot pun, is the greatest advertising achievement of all time.

Happy birthday to my late grandpa Charles Lectka, who was born 100 years ago today. This is him in 1992 with my sister as a newborn

Watch Grid: a day full of teams playing absolutely nowhere near their campuses

I don’t even know if I have any Chicagoland followers on here, but if you’re out there, come see my band at Quigley’s in Naperville tonight! We’ll be playing rock and roll Christmas songs from 9-midnight. And it’s free!

Why is every hot mic incident something horribly offensive? Nobody ever gets caught on a mic asking his color commentator what he's doing for the holidays
"I think we're still on the air Tim"

"... No we're not, are we?"

😭😭😭

Watch Grid: It’s NBA Cup weekend, which means it’s the day where every other college game is played in an NBA arena

This is incredible

Watch Grid: I have no idea why these 4 teams are playing at Madison Square Garden and I'm not going to look it up

Watch Grid: pretty good for December!

Not me, but my good friend in high school was the proud owner of Dan Orlovsky's empty pill bottle
What is the most "obscure" piece of sports memorabilia that you own? Why do you have it?

Midweek Watch Grid: this week we've got the SEC/ACC Challenge, plus the weird prologue to Big Ten conference play.

This week's AP poll is a great illustration of the different questions voters ask themselves, such as...

-Who is the best team in the country? (Michigan)
-Who has the best resume in the country? (also Michigan)
-Who was #1 last week and did they beat Eastern Illinois? (Purdue, and yes)
