Here is the best angle to see the Virginia Tech kick did appear to be No Good.
There has to be some genius out there that can definitively figure this out based where the kick landed in the crowd
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · last wk.dude I think that Virginia Tech kick was good
In my professional opinion, the Protect College Sports Act is bad, actually, and I hope it doesn't pass. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/the-protec...
The Protect College Sports Act is a bad bill, and I hope it doesn't become law
In my professional judgement, this legislation will not do the things its advocates say it will.

The expert (to me at least) has weighed in and has a good explanation for how NBC's "synced" overlay could have gotten unsynced
Alex Norris@alexnorris.com · last mo.When I watched the replay with the overlaid clock, the 1st and 10 lines were on there. They probably shouldn’t be in that case. I know nothing about NBC’s particular procedures, but on games I’ve done, recording both versions is common, since they can both be useful for different purposes.
Great stuff over at @kenpom.com. Coaching résumé pages now include overall record and NCAA Tournament record. Huzzah! Subscribing to Ken's site for $25/year remains the second-best deal in all of basketball media, only surpassed by subscribing to the Eye on CBB Podcast for $0.
Random nonsense, but these are the 23 active coaches who have not had a game against a non-D1 team, ordered by total games coached.

I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of Bonke-heads this season
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 2mo agoListening to @norlander.bsky.social and @kenpom.com podcast on the beach and they brought to my attention that Michigan State has a 7-foot-2 Dutch-Vanuatuan center named Anton Bonke who won several Oceania rowing championships representing his adopted homeland of Vanuatu
The latest EOCBB guest for our Summer Shootaround series: @kenpom.com! I tried to get him to reveal Sparty's preseason ranking. At one point in the spring, MSU was No. 2.
First cut of preseason conference ratings. Looking forward to seeing how people categorize the Pac-12. Not on the level of other power leagues but conceivably far ahead of all non-power leagues.
People are saying that was the best game played on American soil since Soccer Bowl '79

@kenpom.com is dropping dark mode on us in the middle of July like we aren't all logged in anyway.
I'll know bluesky has made it when someone breaks news like Fairfield going to the CAA here. For now, I suffer.
If you're not watching all the games on Telemundo, you get what you deserve.
