I don't care if it is a bunch of crap, we have college football. The weather is great. I have nothing to do all day except post up on the couch and report for duty.

Once Trump combines the Atlantic and Pacific oceans into one American ocean, the ACC long game will finally make sense.

That would have changed the Conference draft game. I'd have taken Florida and then USC.

I'm going to an FCS game tonight, as #1 Montana State will be in town, along with half the state of Montana in attendance.

ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Big Ten Conference on Friday announced updates to the Football Availability Reporting Process for the upcoming 2026 season.

Beginning this year, schools will submit four availability reports per week, beginning three days before a contest and concluding with a gameday report. Institutions will submit reports by 8pm ET/7pm CT/5pm PT three days (e.g., on Wednesday for a Saturday game), two days, and one day before scheduled kickoff. A final gameday submission will be due two hours before kickoff.

Midweek status designations will identify student-athletes as Probable, Questionable, Doubtful, Out or Out (1st Half). Gameday availability reports will include three categories: Game Time Decision, Out, and Out (1st Half) on gameday. Student-athletes not listed on a report are considered Available.

Due to travel party limitations, visiting teams will indicate the availability status of players who either a) were part of the travel squad, or b)were not part of the travel squad but are (or have been) included in the two-deep on offense, defense, or special teams or otherwise regularly participate in games.

This policy will apply to all competition against conference opponents only, with the first reports of the Big Ten season due in advance of the USC at Rutgers and Purdue at UCLA games on Sept. 19. All availability reports will be published on BigTen.org.

Iowa pork chops thawing
Is that like a recipe or just a nod to the pigs living in Iowa?

I will be at this evening’s UNLV Vs Memphis matchup at the Raiders stadium. Just landed in Las Vegas, and headed over to the Flamingo for pregaming. 

Picture on landing that I took of UNLV’s old stadium, former host of the Las Vegas Bowl. Attended one game there a decade ago, and it already felt more like County Fair bleachers for the state rodeo, which I think it is now:
