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.

A bit of a tallest midget award this week, but he was solid. Not great, but solid.

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The Big 12 has withdrawn the federal lawsuit it filed against Texas Tech in June, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Monday.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

Wavy gonna be gravy when the chimp is done with him.

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.

Must be a glitch with the kickers on Yahoo, not counting any stats...hopefully didn't skew any of the results

When I was younger I used to make fun of coaches who said the key to football was stopping the run and running the football. Now that I'm old that actually is the key to football

Ohio State must annihilate TTUN to carry out justice for the rest of college football​

At the end of the season, the Ohio State Buckeyes must absolutely torch the Wolverines. They were gifted a win that they clearly did not deserve. After years of documented cheating, it seems they have gotten away with yet another victory they should not have obtained.

While Ohio State can't give that victory back to the Broncos, they can embarrass the Wolverines to the point of no return. In that opener, it was abundantly clear that Kyle Whittingham's team is going to struggle this season. They very well could lose six or seven games this season.

With that being the case, there is a chance that a loss to the Buckeyes would knock TTUN out of contention for playing in a bowl game. There is no greater humiliation that they could suffer than to lose to the Scarlet and Gray by 50 in order to miss out on a bowl game.

That margin of defeat is in play for the Wolverines after the play of Bryce Underwood. Underwood finished the game against Western Michigan 12/22 for 170 yards, one touchdown, one pick, and a fumble. Take away that nonsense Hail Mary, and he only threw for 123 yards against a MAC school.

Listen…if a WR watches FSU and OSU then says , I gotta have me some of that FSU action then, well…probably best for everyone involved that these things just sort themselves.
