The game vs Georgia is at an odd time. 5PM, on SECN.

We regressed in the Keeping the Ball department, with a whopping 22 turnovers in the game against NCCU. There were 45 total turnovers in the game, and as I was thinking about that, I'm wasn't sure I'd ever seen that many in a basketball game. That sounds more like dodgeball, with both teams intenti...

Harrumph. Day 426, 25 degrees.

I'm closing up the greenhouse today and turning on the heaters tonight.

Nina King needs to make a good hire quickly to limit the portal damage.

I agree, but what sucks is that in making a quick hire there is more of a risk of it not being a good hire.

The Chronicle has a fallout tracker of who is leaving after Elko packed his bags, including players and staff. Of players so far, we will miss Aeneas Peebles.

The Cheaterettes lose again, to Florida Gulf Coast. I am smiling that come tomorrow, they will no longer be ranked.

Lot's of people have complained about Kevin Johns, our OC, but I'm not one of those. I'd be ok with him keeping some continuity, and hopefully at least 2 of our quarterbacks.

Might as well fire it up.

New update, and new coach for A&M

Texas A&M and Duke's Mike Elko have reached an agreement to make him the school's next head coach, sources told ESPN on Sunday.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... next-coach

From ESPN... Texas A&M is in deep discussions with Duke's Mike Elko to make him the school's next head coach, sources told ESPN. Elko addressed the potential move with his Duke team at a team meeting on Sunday and told them some clarity would come in the next 24 hours. Sources told ESPN that a deal ...

Very nice win over NCCU today, 93-45. Yes, it was and should have been a blowout, but playing a game like today is far more useful than practice. It's a great opportunity to try out new ideas, and give out more PT to folks who don't see the court as much, while resting those who might need it.

And kudos also to the Kansas State women, defeating the ewes, 63-56, in the Gulf Coast Showcase.

Learning of both losses made it such a nice morning to wake up to!

Villanova 83, Carolina 81 OT

In honor of today, I'm thankful for this thread and Carolina keeping me smiling.

Nice thing about having a full day of cooking for Thanksgiving is that I get to add in tailgate cooking with it.

FWIW: Mike Elko expected to remain at Duke… https://saturdayblitz.com/2023/11/22/cross-one-name-off-texas-football-head-coaching-wishlist/ That's excellent. Until I hear it from Elko's own mouth, I'm still going to be anxious, but it sure sounds very promising. I tried reading the sourced article f...

I would welcome Kevin Johns as head coach for several reasons including holding together some of Elko’s assistants and minimizing transfers. Yep. I am quite sure that Nina has been looking into this as an option. She doesn't come across as someone who isn't prepared. Add to your thoughts the fact t...

Liar extraordinaire has basically a week to clean out his office. More than 60 lawmakers who previously voted against expelling Santos reportedly now plan to support ousting him when a bill comes to the floor after the House returns next Tuesday from its Turkey Day break, Politico reported, citing i...

My only score prediction this year hasn't been a number, only saying that I think Duke would show up against Clemson and not get blown out. Once again entering into the fray, I predict that Duke is gonna beat the snot out of Pitt, and it won't be close. This team is going to close out the regular se...

Against Stanford Duke had only 11 turnovers. Eleven! Stanford had 15.
That's some excellent progress in the Keeping The Ball department.

Also, Reigan Richardson shot the ball ten times, and missed them all. That's not so excellent.
