With new seasons starting I’m refreshing my sports tattoo commitment.

I will get a tattoo for every one of my teams that wins a top-flight conference/league/national title or domestic/international cup.

Bowling and beers. “Pennsylvania Polka”, that sort of thing.

Same to the Dodgers and Kershaw

Haaaaaaahahahaha Yankees!

84 year old who runs the big band I play in always introduces the inevitable mid-set polka as “A little Minnesota rock and roll!”

Brings down the house everytime.

I think it’s important to face your demons head-on. Let’s get this disaster out of the way.

9 days out from the game, we're ripping the bandaid off.

Let's talk about what might be the worst day in #Gopher football history: September 17, 1983.

Nebraska advertisement from 1983:

"The Scoring Explosion" featuring the power of the Nebraska offense including eventual Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier

Minnesota linebackers and d-linemen fail to prevent a Turner Gill handoff

Right now I think their stummies hort

Oh also…I can’t believe I’m saying this but Brew might actually do better.

They prefer mustard-based chili

Plus even if Bill does the $1 million buyout, who knows what lawsuits and discovery are waiting…UNC might have itself some money problems from this little adventure. #Play4Brew

Belichick has poisoned the well at UNC. They’ve shown they have no real vision or leadership, the brand is tarnished on what was never a top-tier job.

But Brew has had multiple stretches there, he’s got Mack Brown on speed-dial, and he doesn’t have a brand to be worrying about.

You know who unironically might have a shot at the UNC job post-Belichick?

Like, you’ve gotta at least give a shit. Lots of coaches give MANY shits and can’t pull it off. Say what you will about Coach Prime, and I have, but he definitely cares and tries. Bill doesn’t and hasn’t.

I think us college football enthusiasts knew this was going to go sideways but did anybody expect to go THIS bad THIS fast?

I sure didn’t.

Anyway I guess non-pro ball isn’t the easy slam dunk you thought, huh Bill and Steve?

NFL Daily News @fantasynflnews.bsky.social · 15h

Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with UNC's hierarchy, per Ollie Connolly.

He's signalled a willingness to trigger $1M buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Do it now or have to wait all week for it to come up.

Is there a single team that hasn’t had at least 1 major recruiting flop in the past 2 decades? It’s notoriously high-variance! They’re 18 year old kids!

BOO!-iff @biffthetick.bsky.social · 23h

Right? I’d ask if ChatGPT wrote this but it would be able to find some or at least hallucinate them!

“Is he college football’s first flop?”

Tell me you don’t know college football without telling you don’t know college football.

BOO!-iff @biffthetick.bsky.social · 23h

There’s so much wrong with this headline that I don’t have any idea where to start.

Many people are having a bad year, but Arch Manning is having one of the worst.

Is he college football’s first flop?
