lol, the UGA cutoff for Florida tickets was 15k points. The only game lower than that this season was Arkansas away tickets (10k cutoff). I guess charging $400 face value for tickets depressed demand somewhat. Who would've figured?

I've been thinking about this, and ngl I thought the USMNT looked incredible, aggressive, and a complete 180 in this World Cup. And they did, compared to previous USMNT iterations. But then I saw all the top-tier teams just doing the same thing but better in the later knockout rounds.

#USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino has renewed his contract through 2030. @henrybushnell.bsky.social with the initial news story. More to come… www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

8IG 18 SEASON PREVIEW IN CURT CIGNETTI'S MOST MIDWESTERN ORDER undeniably-midwestern-but-what-are-you-striving-for tier 11: Michigan (winning a national championship by cheating, and then having your next head coach arrested is giving SWC if we're all being completely honest)

Hmm, seems like I missed Hank Green being the main character. Or maybe he still is on some scale? Anyway, I think the long reply he wrote on reddit was thoughtful, nuanced, and reflective, which is pretty much what I'd expect. It didn't point fingers, and it didn't blame others.

Man, if you've got Carlos Cordeiro resigning in protest over your bad soccer shit... The same Carlos Cordeiro, mind you, who resigned in disgrace as head of US Soccer in 2020 because he signed off on a legal defense that the USWNT wasn't as good as the USMNT because of biology.

5 minutes early to a meeting in Birmingham, one customer was also early. I strike up a random convo by asking about football. "I don't follow any sports now. Used to be a F1 fan until that fucker Vettel took all the fun out of wondering who was going to win." I did not have that on my bingo card.

When I was a volunteer at the '96 Olympics in Athens, I thought I was watching something that would never happen again in my lifetime (soccer in Sanford Stadium). Fortunately, I was wrong! UGA's playing a game there on 8/20. Tickets are now available and are free, but you gotta order them!

For straight-up eating, smoked gouda is tier 1. Also, any good aged cheddar. For burgers, you gotta go with two (2) slices of the fake-ass processed American cheese. The cheaper the better, just remove the plastic first. For fondue-type applications, I'm a traditionalist, emmentaler and gruyere.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

Whew, this is a banner day. I've already blocked like 7 rando assholes today and haven't had to think about their ignorant drivel even once after their dumbass posts were out of my sight! Don't waste your energy on things that suck your life away, friends. Good times, good times.

100 games that explain college football in 2026

TV, realignment, stars and legends, postseason quarrels. Those themes have set up epic games and made the current sport.

Damn, just saw that Brian Doerksen died. In an industry filled with charlatans and con-men, he was one of the rare giants that always seemed authentic, and who kept the main thing the main thing. And I think it came across in his music. RIP, Brian Fuck cancer.
