Whole lotta Canes folks followed me and that’s awesome. You guys are GREAT.

But please #TakeWarning: I’m gonna hate on North Carolina State almost as hard as I hate on Duke and that comes with my territory.

So I watched the Seth Jarvis Faceoff episode… and I can’t get over the fact that they just skipped right over his game tying 3rd period goal in Game 5 after the team had collapsed in the second period.

I know it ends the same either way, but that was a moment that fit the story they were telling.

They got a Bojangles though, I do believe.

(At least I think that’s where me and the Munchkin stopped for breakfast when we moved her out for college.)

Much like your fantasy team, nobody gives a shit about your gambling picks. And this is coming from a guy who does a weekly CFB gambling podcast.

I don’t get a cut if your parlay hits. But we share the same joy if our team wins in exciting fashion.

weratedogs This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE.
Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

No matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets; we cannot go back now.

There’s just too much money at stake now.

It's very en vogue to talk about how college football is broken right now because of NIL, the portal, "The Wild West," etc.

I wrote about a related issue for @slate.com. The twin killers of paranoia and desperation, which created the Franklin situation on both ends slate.com/culture/2025...

Penn State Just Fired a Good Football Coach. The Reason Why Is Bleak.

The school needed to fire James Franklin—and that’s a damning indictment of the sport.
