Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

Chicago fans knew he wasn’t Brian Piccolo 2.0, but yeah, we also knew he was Brian Piccolo 2.0. Mostly blocked. Rarely carried. It was hilarious how much love he’d get from the crowd for a five-yard gain. Thanks for the memories Matt.

Last movie you saw?

Drove to Indy to see Odyssey on IMAX (still sold out for virtually every seat)

In an age short on spectacle and wonder, the screen and his storytelling delivered both.

Nolan's most visceral creation. The terror was palpable for so many scenes, as was the anguish.

Predictably, the social media stupidity was not a big factor. helen only a factor for those hungry to whine. I would argue Page was a pretty fitting choice for that role.

Another stellar cast for Nolan.

Not the pure gold that he often delivers, and not something I imagine rewatching like many of his creations, but a welcome return to the magic of theater.

"Official" BP gambling thread.

One of the best bets is the week this week happens to fall in Monday. That's for SMU to beat the brakes off the Seminoles at Doak Walker for the first ACC road win there ever. It's been a great first two weeks except the hiccup in Wisconsin folding the second half against ND, 6-1 start to the season is profitable and I'll take that everyday.

SMU Moneyline, (=142)
SMU -2.5
and if you can get it,
Prop Bet SMU Over 450 Total Yards

Restocking the bourbon this Labor Day afternoon Everyone enjoy the last summer holiday, and as always, GO BUCKS!

Got SMU rolling at -2.5 myself. Nice find.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (sponsored by BET365)

Sources: Big 12 withdraws federal suit against Texas Tech

The Big 12 has withdrawn the federal lawsuit it filed against Texas Tech in June, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Monday.

The suit was intended to allow the league to enforce its own rules amid former quarterback Brendan Sorsby's legal quest for eligibility. All issues related to the suit have been handled internally and the league is moving forward, sources added.

Sorsby was ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA in April after he acknowledged placing more than 9,000 wagers totaling at least $90,000 on professional and college sports over four years.

Sorsby was issued a temporary injunction by a Texas court to clear his path to play for the Red Raiders, but when the Big 12 filed in federal court with aims to punish the quarterback and Texas Tech, he withdrew his suit and declared for the NFL supplemental draft, which the league ultimately decided not to have.

Sorsby previously said he is preparing for the 2027 NFL draft.

South Florida - USF (Official Thread)

The wisdom of crowds isn’t always wisdom, but when it comes to Tim Beck it is.
Yeah. What's the saying? In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes and Tim Beck fucking things up. (-B. Franklin)

Man, take that to the Romper Room. There are kids in here!

Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

The best thing I saw​

Josh Hoover was bleeding everywhere.

During the second quarter of Indiana's 52-16 win over North Texas, Hoover had his helmet ripped off on a facemask penalty.

When he got up, blood was pouring from his nose. He didn't leave the game.

Three plays later, with blood still covering his face, Hoover threw a touchdown pass to Charlie Becker.

Hoover kept playing and finished his Indiana debut 13-of-16 for 231 yards and four touchdowns.

Three coaches who could really use a do-over​

And then there's Sonny Dykes.

TCU got a head start on everyone else by opening the season in Ireland during Week 0.

It lost 15-10 to North Carolina. That's already bad.

It gets a little funnier when you remember how much time Dykes spent this offseason talking about Josh Hoover's interceptions.

Hoover made his Indiana debut Saturday and threw four touchdown passes without turning the ball over.


Just sayin': So far it appears that Cig is still batting 100% on picking QBs out of the transfer portal.
