Bob Costas reveals he was pulled from the Super Bowl coverage last year for speaking about the concussion links to football.  Good look for the NFL, usually those on the right side of history are those who attempt to shut down any opposing views.

Alaska is a bit hard to see without the cruise, doable of course but probably not in a week.  I view this as a recon mission in effect, seeing if there are places we'd like to see again.

We did that in the last cruise and came up with a Big Nope.  Havana was a dump, really worse than I expected.

Very odd, Darius Rucker, Tiger Woods and the Stanley Cup all converging on one night at a dive bar in East Lansing.  He says Tiger was 18, which would put it at 1994, but no MSU players on the '94 Rangers.  But the '95 Devils had Danton Cole, who is now MSU's head coach.  So I'm going to say this was summer of 1995, and current MSU head coach Danton Cole was the MSU player who brought the trophy

A few years ago my dad and brother and I rented an RV and tooled around the Kenai peninsula for a week.  Saw lots of neat stuff, and definitely realized I do not want to live in Alaska.

Ranking the Big Ten's Football Rosters for 2019

https://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-big-tens-football-rosters-2019

Below are the national recruiting ranking averages for Big Ten schools over the last five (2105-19) classes according to 247Sports' Composite Team Rankings and each team's record over the last five (2014-18) seasons. Obviously, this doesn't take into account attrition but, over time, this should be considered relatively even across the conference.

Ohio State remains the gold standard, but is that about to change?

The SEC recruiting rankings and games won correlate very highly.  Miss State has done a bit better than their recruiting, and so has Florida (conference games won).

Interesting connection with Mullen there perhaps.  There is no "Wisconsin" in the SEC (duh).

UGA is 19-11, which sound decent, but Bama is 37-3.  UGA is close to Bama in recruiting raw numbers, but not in wins.

Ohio State has always recruited well, but Urban took them to another level. Time will tell if that can be sustained.
On another note, Wisconsin is recruiting better than it ever has (according to STARZ and all that).

I'd rather have my fingernails plucked out, one by one, by a savage beast, or an angry woman, over the course of ten days.
