College Football Thoughts

Now that we've had the final College Football playoff rankings that left out Notre Dame - here's my thoughts and observations on the current situation.

Was having these thoughts anyway - so figured why not jot them down and put them up on Substack.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Modern war tells us to get used to disappointment. "The best Ukraine can hope for is a result similar to the deal Russia reportedly offered before all the killing started: Crimea and the Donbas to Russia; no to Kyiv joining NATO; yes to Ukrainian membership in the European Union."

- 5 Reasons Men Spend so Much Time Thinking about the Roman Empire. I don't have any Raman themed T-shirts but I do like reading books about Rome.

- Great work by Data Republican on how politically connected NGO's are taking 90% of the tax dollars. I've been following her for a while - she does great work.

- ACC nearing resolution with Clemson and FSU to end litigation.

- Will the ACC hold together or fall apart? Not sure about you but I really don't want any more realignment. And I think performance based compensation is fine.

- The difference between chlorophyl and hemoglobin.

- Crew from ship that destroyed Baltimore bridge still aren't allowed to leave the ship.

- Interesting: the Broadband van life

- Colorado undermines democracy in the name of democracy.  It was a 4-3 decision by the state Supreme Court it should be remembered. Also remember that all 4 justices who voted for this are Democratic appointees and Ivy League grads.

- Colorado Supreme Court orders Jack Phillips bake cake to celebrate Trump ruling. 

- Jonathan Turley on the Colorado Supreme Court's decision. Today's offering is pretty top heavy with this issue.

- Dan Wetzel on is Florida State leaving the ACC? A little football for palate cleansing.

Wow

- Not sure about you but I'm rooting for Joe Kennedy "the praying coach"

- UNC's Mac Brown on the NCAA

- Jimmy Buffett's obituary in the NY Post. Wish I was at the Margaritaville in Hollywood FLA getting drunk on Landsharks watching college football. Think that's what he would have wanted.

- Ross Dellenger on how the ACC added Stanford, Cal, and SMU

More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- The AP is bankrolled with $8 million from Left organizations so it covers Left interests with a Left bias. The AP is not to be trusted. Makes you wonder why the Right doesn't have its own news organization.

- Dan Wetzel on how SMU's boosters once cost the football team but now may have saved them

- Have to admit I laughed at this.

- The Free Press on the revolt of religious parents including Muslims, Christians, and Latter Day Saints. The Left took over school boards and other elected positions when nobody was paying attention but they're paying attention now and these down stream elections are bound to have upstream effects.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- New lawsuit filed against Ozempic alleging stomach paralysis. When something sounds too good to be true - it probably is.

- Peter Attia on memory loss.

- Wearing an N95 mask exposed the wearer to toxic compounds.

- Interesting ACC expansion talks still going on

- I would so watch this. Somebody should buy the exclusive rights now! 

- Pat Forde on how despite all the stories about the lack of TV revenue the Pac-12 and ACC continue their success.

- The thing you learn on the Internet - F1 racing is now arguably a more valuable property than the NHL.

- A day in the life of a Roman legionary
