Dude who literally ruined a college student's life over a false rumor cannot take a LIGHT mocking/roast. Why are men?!?!

Chandler Simpson was the WBB SID at Clemson when I first started covering the league so I have been very confused a few times tonight...

That challenge felt like flinging more stuff at the wall and hoping and, uh, no.

The first half rotations for Atlanta gave off real "we have no answers right now" energy. You try Paopao for the first time all series hoping to catch lightning in a bottle form deep. You try Reese and Okot together seeing if double big can jar anything loose. Just flinging everything at the wall.

If we are going to talk about Pat McAfee saying stupid stuff, just a reminder that he hates women.

Can I get one team done during HT? Maybe.

I am at "trying to figure out what brand of bag Angel is carrying from just the strap" levels of avoiding writing if anyone was curious.

Sigh. Another NCAA WBB radio job was open & they hired, you guessed it, a man. Nothing against the individuals, but come on y'all, it's 2026. Gonna go do a full recheck at some point soonish, but at last check, every NCAA WBB team that has a radio PxP/solo announcer, it's a male.

Theee best “ice cream.” St. Louis, KC and apparently Bentonville mutuals, I am very jealous of y’all, even though I can get this shipped, it’s $$$$

11/18 done. Seven to go, plus obviously editing, an intro and close and maybe a zoom out noncon schedule bloc.

Working on my ACC preview and, guys, 18 teams is a lot of teams.

Clemson WBB has two players from Melbourne on their roster this season. One is from Australia, the other is from Arkansas...

This coming out on the same day as the W mess is just perfect.

News: The Utah-BYU Holy War game on Nov. 7 will be a 10 am local kickoff on ABC or ESPN. That is just brutal for fans for a likely top-10 matchup.

If the Arch mocking Holly getting smacked didn’t make you root against Texas this season, whooo boy new reasons just dropped.

Great work from the racist cowards atop @texaslonghorns.bsky.social @utaustin.bsky.social leadership. "Records show how UT leaders tracked fallout of Bo French's racist tweet before response" www.statesman.com/news/educati...

Not at all qualified, but what a cool job.

Sports was not in our immediate game plan (heh) when we launched The 19th, but over the years it has become clear how these stories belong in our coverage. So game on! We’re launching a sports desk and looking for a sports reporter. Learn more and apply here: https://bit.ly/4i5Cn7B

Team that hasn’t been to the league finals since 1961 should’ve had the courtesy to move their game to a different day. This is better than the airport arena but still rather embarrassing.

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

Why can’t Hawks/Cavs just straight up move to later in the season? Are there that many people traveling from far for a midweek game that it would mess up?

Alexa Philippou@alexaphilippou.bsky.social

There will be a Game 6 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta. But nobody knows yet where or even when the game will be played despite a furious round of negotiations spilling into Sunday between the WNBA, NBA, Valks, Dream and Hawks. What we know, with @ramonaespn.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Also this should've obviously been handled at the LATEST when the Dream were sweeping their way through the semis, but that sorta goes without saying...

Georgia Tech having two really good guards both with the last name Walker will definitely not trip any writers up this season. Nope, definitely not.

My kid just said “yay, the crunchy one?!” when I told her I was making the good whipped cream and I’m not gonna lie, I have questions. 

This may actually be a starker difference than the Duke/UNC game that went to OT at 40-all the same night a GA Tech/V Tech game went to OT at exactly double that, and that's a tall order to top.
