Curt Cignetti is one of the greatest coaches in sports history, and I will entertain no debate.
This is IMPOSSIBLE
Imagine two years ago.
Indiana went 3-9 and fired their head coach.
Fast forward two years they go 27-2 with a Conference Championship and a National Championship.

To be clear, I have 60k followers on Twitter, 15k on Bluesky, but only 7k on Threads.
I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable.

College football is crazy cause you have cases like Beck doing nothing but football while Georgia Tech’s Long Snapper last year, Henry Freer, was a PhD student in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
There’s a video going around of Carson Beck saying he didn’t have classes this week because he graduated two years ago. He still has to be enrolled as a grad student right, RIGHT?!

Mookie Betts just casually mentioned on a podcast that he’s retiring when his contract ends and the media has turned this into some headline announcement
Yeah obviously a 40 year old is retiring after his final $30 million payout clears

Bellinger is not a player that’s worth 35+ million dollars. With that being said Judge will be 34 and they have to do something.
I’m kind of torn with this one.

Per Bob Klapisch, the #Yankees have made an internal decision not to engage in a bidding war for Cody Bellinger if #NYM or anyone else swoops in with a blow-away offer.
Yankees believe they've made a fair proposal - five years, $160 million, two opt-outs. They're prepared to let Bellinger walk.
