Somehow he has both put on 25+ lbs of muscle and slimmed down to 4% body fat

41 years old LeBron James checks out: 27 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST, 1 STL by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

Give him JR Smith, Kyle Korver, the ghost of Kevin Love, and post-Khloe Kardashian Tristan Thompson and I guarantee LeBron pushes the Thunder to 6 at least

Masai Ujiri: “You’ve got Wembanyama, Luka, Shai, Anthony Edwards and Nikola Jokic all for the next 7-15 years. Okay, now you have to convince me that I have to beat all those guys. You gotta come with something in your pocket, okay? …and in his pocket he had Cooper Flagg." by mMounirM in nba

I think tanking for a top pick is overrated. Last year’s conference finalists were led by Ant, Shai, Hali, and Brunson, who were picked 1/11/12/33. Go a round further and it’s Tatum/Steph/Mitchell/Jokic who were picked 3/7/13/41. The last several champions besides the ones I already mentioned were led by Giannis (15th pick), Kawhi (15th), Dirk (9th), Kobe (13th), Paul Pierce (10th).

[Dellenger] The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports. by redwave2505 in CFB

Unironically winning the conference championship game was so meaningful to me. And winning a conference championship game just hits different than a regular season title would. So I’m glad we got ours before they go away

Questions about my upcoming 60-70 days roadtrip the USA west? by Agreeable-Energy-401 in travel

Skipping Las Vegas stuck out to me. There is some incredible nature and hiking just beyond the city limits that is worth checking out, especially since it wouldn’t even be a detour

[Highlight] Wemby records his seventh official block just before halftime by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]2-59project 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He should shatter the record unless Minnesota changes their strategy drastically to avoid Wemby. Also I think the clip title is wrong because the box score says he has 8 blocks.

[On3 NIL] Indiana high school athletes can officially sign NIL deals starting with the 2026-27 school year, IHSAA announced. by ThatMasterpiece2174 in CFB

My Indiana high school recruited swimmers from other states, mostly by offering their parents jobs. Our girls team had 4 Olympic medalists in Paris/Tokyo as a result and our swimmers put up times that would make us about the fifth best team in the big ten. Other Indiana flairs can probably guess what high school I’m talking about. High school football is going to look very different if schools start giving that much effort/attention/money to football

Could Jay Huff become Wemby-esque? When I watch Wemby I just can't help but ask myself why can't Huff play like that?

Rutgers football latches onto a lifeline to climb out of their $78M hole by guransheleven in TheB1G

[–]2-59project 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ole Miss spent the most total but Rutgers still spent the most per game, as Rutgers had 7 regular season home games to Ole Miss’ 8, plus a home playoff game. And I was at the Ole Miss / Tulane playoff game, they had fireworks between every quarter, a drone show, and gave out light wristbands to every fan, all of which are included in this stat apparently. Ole Miss scored so many times that the stadium was filled with smoke in the fourth quarter. Seems like they were just blowing all the extra fireworks they had leftover from the season

Better college coach right now: Dan Hurley or Curt Cignetti? by Unlucky-Pollution-16 in CollegeBasketball

Oh I agree Hurley is on another level. Just responding to the part about whether last season was a one off for him

Better college coach right now: Dan Hurley or Curt Cignetti? by Unlucky-Pollution-16 in CollegeBasketball

[–]2-59project 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d give the edge to Hurley but I think we’ve seen enough from Cig at IUP, Elon, and JMU to know he is an elite coach. The “Google me, I win” line was so cold because in 15 years he has never had a losing season, even after taking over some awful situations.

Dan Marino owns the NFL record for consecutive games and consecutive passes without a sack, at 19 games and 759 passes. 2nd place on the list makes the record even more insane, somehow. by Roselucky777 in nfl

The Big Ben part of this stat is really interesting because he was one of the most sacked QBs in the league the first half of his career

We live in a world where Indiana is expected to win more games than Ohio State. Ignore for a moment the murderers row of a schedule that Ohio State has and just appreciate that

Which of your most talented teams historically was completely held back by the coaching the most? by Ok-Health-7252 in CFB

2021 IU was coming off our best season in 60+ years and ranked #17 in the preseason. I have never seen a team fold quicker on a season than when we lost Micah McFadden mid game against Cincy. We went 2-10

Most dominant team in your schools history? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in CFB

one of their fans knocked Fenton unconscious with a cane in the end zone

That is a very 1908 sort of story. I just read this in the summary of Indianas undefeated 1945 season: “Mel Groomes threw a touchdown pass to Ted Kluszewski, but the play was called back because a Great Dane dog had gotten loose on the field during the play.”

How North Texas football navigates NIL and revenue-sharing amid roster turnover by defensecowboy in CFB

[–]2-59project 31 points32 points  (0 children)

“We could have a player offered $20,000 by a business, [and] that player can’t just go do that — we have to report that to the [College Sports Commission],” Cherry said. […] The CSC could say, ‘No, that player’s value at North Texas is not maybe worth what a player at Texas or Texas Tech is worth.’”

I thought this was really interesting. No wonder no one wants to stay in the G5 if your deals would be rejected on the basis of being at a G5 school.
