Kyle Monangai has 112 yards rushing, D'Andre Swift has 107. First time the Bears have two backs with 100+ in the same game since Nov. 10, 1985 (Matt Suhey, Walter Payton). (h/t Bears PR)

Oklahoma wins by one after a putrid final possession by Marquette. Very real possibility the Golden Eagles go 5-6 in non-con play. Shaka Smart has opted out of the portal entirely the past three years and that choice looks like it's going to backfire on him this season.

Eagles D has now gotten 10 straight stops when opponents have gone for it on 4th down.

At a bar pre-Eagles-Bears that has Malort prominently displayed and made a joke to the bartender that I’m not sure if we should have some or avoid it for good luck vs. Chicago.

Long story short, I just had Malort AMA.

Fully approve of the games the babysitter has my kids playing while we’re gone. A+ hire.

You can’t yell “run the damn ball” at your favorite team if you wouldn’t do it yourself
Approaching dangerous levels of midwestern today. Walked the dog at our neighborhood park and saw a gaggle of dads, doing a thanksgiving turkey bowl…running the ball. Off tackle again and again.

My hot Thanksgiving take is that people who eat the big meal early are insane. It’s dinner. Wait for the sun to go down.

Am I nuts or did every nfl team start doing the “dirty kickoffs” and returners were flummoxed and it worked all the time

and then teams just stopped doing it?

Gonzaga winning and losing consecutive games by 40 is sick. It’s not good, but I love it.

Realized a great comp for the Players Era tournament is the FedEx Cup.

Bad venue and timing. Big names are there but there’s no energy. Constant reminder of payout money which is gauche and not why we care. Format makes no sense.

people do love to drink tonight. Glad he started early
