I cannot stress enough how much of an intellectual investment this podcast is. Worth every dollar.
New for paid Phantom Island subscribers: @stevengodfrey.bsky.social and I review how basically* every open SEC job got filled in a way that 1) defied the projections and 2) will invite years of jealous comparison

New Auburn coach Alex Golesh is asked at his press conference if he likes golf.

"That's a setup question. I've been here long enough to know that."

Says his kids and his wife like golf. "I like football more than golf. And I'm terrible."

Many Z*onist celebrities, including Ginnifer Goodwin in the midst of the #Zootopia2 press tour, have mass deleted their posts calling for justification of the Gaza Genocide.

While it good they are in retreat, do not forget their complicity in the ongoing horror.

Good for the Lobos! 🐺
SOURCE: New Mexico and head coach Jason Eck have agreed to a new five-year deal with a raise to an average salary of $1.75 million.

Lobos are 9-3 this year and could get their first 10-win season since 1982. One of the best stories in CFB this year:

New Mexico’s revenue sports had one good year. Then almost everyone left town
Heavy football roster turnover is common in college sports’ free transfer era, but New Mexico faced a rare double-dip this year.
