I'd be wary of that tree. Dark magic.

Ohio State vs Indiana at 7pm CST will be fun. Hope Indiana pulls the upset.

Wisconsin men's hockey defeats Notre Dame 9 - 2 tonight; 16 - 4 on the weekend sweep. #2 in the nation. This team can score.

First one of his top aides flees to Israel, where he cannot be extradited
Then his right hand man is driven to resign
Now who should hove into this baleful offing but his nibs himself, Zelensky.

Apologies, I am on my third episode of The Hollow Crown this afternoon, and have finally gotten to Richard III.

Jaq, I loved the Hollow Crown. Stumbled on it due to my habit of leaving the TV on all night for white noise. For whatever reason, PBS originally showed them starting at 10:30 PM. Woke up to wee and was greeted with Sir Patrick Stewart doing the sceptr'd isle speech. CC, JSM

I've mentioned here before that I liked the colorblind casting done in the Hollow Crown - actors just happened to be whatever ethnicity they were, with no rhyme or reason (like whitey-white Tom Hiddleston/Henry V's cousin York is played by a 100% African-descent actor, Paterson Joseph). Just whoever can deliver the lines, with no attempt to put a postmodern spin on them. CC, JSM

"with the mute button on so I'm not subjected to three and a half hours of Gus Johnson screaming at me."

He is a yeller.

Let's go Indiana!

Gus Johnson was one helluva power forward!

Lefty bitcher-moaners take note!

If deporting illegal immigrants doesn't fix a few things., the back-up plan is "shoot all the communists".

Ballot harvesting fraud.

Last night the usual lefty trolls were lecturing us how Brian Cole, Jr. was MAGA — he said so, didn’t he?

Turns out he lied. But he’s a Dumbocrat and they lie as an automatic reflex. Laugh at them. Laugh at all of them. They deserve nothing better.

One of His Majesty's subjects lets us know what he thinks about our Somali contretemps.

Video evidence shows that the ambushed Venezuelan boaters had several minutes to connect to the internet, purchase $TRUMP crypto, and post their receipt on Truth Social before the second strike. They chose their own fate.

I used to do PBP. There is time for excitement and a raised voice.

An eight-yard gain - bringing up second and two - halfway through the first quarter ain't that time.

Original Mike ayon kay ...

Well, that is a satisfying result.

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

The year Curt was hired, Indiana won three games.

RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...

Amazing. Good to see Indiana win.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

So Indiana s the only unbeaten, untied team. I hope Ohio State is a #2 or #3 seed so the rematch, if it happens, is in the championship game.

After today’s games I don’t see how Alabama or BYU should be in the playoffs

Pictures of epitome of Grey days. Soon blue skies after snowfall.

BYU is definitely out. But with Duke winning the ACC (and has no chance making the CFP), does the committee take Miami (to represent the ACC) - that didn't even play in its conference championship game - over Notre Dame and/or Alabama?

Original Mike ayon kay ...

Duke won? LOL.

Iman ayon kay ...

Kakarosaaaaaa!!!

gadfly ayon kay ...

Duke won one for the Dukes of Harrisonburg.

As bad as Alabama played, how can they be in while Miami doesn't go? And nobody has explained how Notre Dame is in since Miami whupped 'em.

gadfly ayon kay ...

Unranked Illinois State beat 12-0 NDSU in the FCS playoff with a successful 2-point play after recovering a Bison fumble and scoring.

Virginia lost in OT but could have tried a two-pointer after their final drive against Duke, but the 'Hoos coach did not elect to do so.

Humperdink ayon kay ...

Changing the name of American football? How about rugbyball? Or concussionball? CTEball?

Kakistocracy ayon kay ...

Warner Bros. will be sold to Netflix, not Ellison-owned Paramount as Trump had hoped. Can Bari Weiss still be put in charge of it?
