“5 loss Duke playing Virginia for the ACC title”?? Football, stay in your lane. That’s a basketball sentence in every possible universe.
A Duke-Virginia ACC title game is so funny. Even funnier with 5-loss Duke. Sensational work by the scriptwriters this season.

One thing I don’t fully buy in the Sirianni conversation is that people would be lining up for this job.
It’s a job you can get fired a year after winning the SB, you get no personnel say, and (ideally) inherit the DC and OL coach/run game coordinator.
However - that’s not reason not to do it.

Eagles offense currently 17th in EPA/drive and 26th in success rate.
Here are all the times over the past 20 years the Eagles offense has finished in the bottom half of the league in both EPA/drive and success rate:
2012 (Andy Reid fired)
2015 (Chip Kelly fired)
2020 (Doug Pederson fired)

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.

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.
