Mostly here to read sports takes (and not make many of my own). Maybe will make a golf account soon.

Is it “Tom Izzo eats his liver time?” @mgoblog.bsky.social

There are a lot of reasons to like sports, but the thing that draws me in is the opportunity to watch Things Not Go The Way They Are Supposed To.

It’s the thing that ties together underdog stories and impossible endings and dominant runs by superhuman athletes, this destruction of sensibility.

There is no hyperbole for this. All of it is appropriate. I’d replace “college football” with “sports”

Does it have something to do with the ball touching the rim while it first gets touched also? Because it looked simultaneous and why I thought it might not get overturned

Thanks Raffi for helping to bring this to light. I’ve worked with those involved at the NLT, and their passion and genuine care for DC golf and public golf is unmatched. People can’t fathom the amount of work it’s taken to get to where they are. It’s a travesty to have it ripped away, especially now

National Links Trust served notice of default by Trump administration The National Links Trust, which operates 3 municipal golf courses in Washington, D.C., was served a notice of default, according to the Washington Post.

Trump has served a default on the folks running the public project so he can take the course and turn the national park courses into, it seems obvious, a high end private course administered by his own golf company

The Break: Golf in the nation's capital The National Links Trust is already deep into its mission to transform and revitalize public golf in Washington, D.C., and they should get the opportunity to continue their mission.

D.C. public golf is in the capable hands of National Links Trust, and it should stay that way. The Trump Administration should not commandeer a long-term project with a clear vision.

Who could realistically boost their production and rise up into that gap? My assumption would be some of the younger guys developing and having it “click,” but I don’t know. Seems the older guys are kind of locked into what they are. Could a trade also be made at some point to help fill the gap?

Our options as Michigan fans are to get stuck on night games or watch more commercials than football at noon and the B1G still doesn’t have enough $$ to make their budgets work.

My first thought too

And I think they should continue to hang onto the date (especially after having experienced it), unless there’s any chance CFB at large would by some chance adapt the schedule to ending on January 1st (which would be cool with me)

For like half of this season, the most common take was "every team is kinda bad, except Oregon." They were the only thing everybody agreed on. Now all we can agree on is that Michigan had a great time

There should never be any neutral-site college football games except for the annual national championship in the Rose Bowl

This is the moment where I hope Psychology takes over the game.
