Ichiro Suzuki got a hit in his 10th career at bat to lift his BA to .300 - he never dropped below .300 again in well over 9,000 career at bats. That’s crazy.

Young Green Bay really dumped on Jerry world today thanks in large part to head coach Matt LaFluer (Saginaw Valley State), RB Aaron Jones (UTEP) and QB Jordan Love (Utah State) I say it every year after he lays an egg in the playoffs, Dak Prescott is not going to take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl. He pads stats against bad teams and casnt step up against playoff teams.

One more thing about the KC/Miami game - I've never seen a helmet crack like Mahomes' did last night - that's how fricking cold it was.

Didn't watch the game but close but it is getting to the point where I root for the team that plays KC. At the moment I am a huge Houston fan. CJ Stroud not only is a huge talent but a class act. Go Texans. He won't come close to winning but you could argue CJ was the league MVP - took a team that won 2 or 3 games last year to the playoffs. Baltimore was expected to be in the playoffs, not Houston. And DeMeco Ryans should be coach of the year - but that will go to the coach he just destroyed yesterday, 45-14.

The bad thing about the portal is, like BB, so many players don’t stay long enough for anyone to get to know who they are This and there are a good number of players who don't find a new home. So unless the team they left take s them back, they're done which is sad.

Wow - what a talented young lady! I cant believe she was playing that at 8 years old. I don't know much about Hillary - I saw a story about her on Facebook - looks like she fiddles and dances at the same time, which cant be easy. But that's not quite the same as playing with the Boston Symphony at 19 - that's impressive! Prost to her!!

I would not want to follow in Saban's footsteps - you're destined to be fired. Replacing the guy who replaces Saban is a better move.

I saw a video of a violin/fiddle player named Hillary Klug and it got me thinking about the young lady you used to talk about - I believe her name was Kitty, how is she doing? Last I recall she was at App State, perhaps?

It was quite alarming when Ohio State lost 14 players, including their starting QB, to the transfer portal prior to the Cotton Bowl. The lack of an experienced QB killed them as they could generate no offense and lost 14-3 to Missouri.
Since the game, I think we've gotten a sense of why all those players left - just about the entire junior class - all starters are coming back. Several like Denzel Burke, Emeka Egbuka and Jt Tuilmaloa were potential first round picks. OSU will return 8 of their 11 starters on defense and all but 2 offensive starter - one does happen to be Marvin Harrison Jr. QB McCord is gone but they picked up Will Howard from KSU in the portal plus Mississippi tailback who was first team all SEC 2 years in a row. So the players that transferred out weren't going to play and Ryan Day told McCord he couldn't guarantee he'd start next year.
So losing the Cotton Bowl may have been the best thing to happen. It left a sour taste in the mouths of the OSU juniors and they all want to come back to get a win over Michigan and those gold pants.

Root for the Colts! Surely they have a former Buckeye on the team somewhere? The Colts do have Trey Sermon but he was only a Buckeye for one season. He does hold the OSU single game rushing record - he went for well over 300 yards a few years ago against Northwestern. Still, I'd rather see CJ win.

I grew up in Dayton and attended many Flyer games back in the 70's. When I was in high school I sold cokes and hot dogs in the stands before the game and at halftime. We got 'paid' a hot dog, coke and ticket to the game.
Then I went to Ohio State and worked at Xavier for 23 years so Dayton slid to #3 on my list. I have to say the Flyer fans were downright nasty to Xavier fans whenever we'd go to a game at the arena. I remember they all came out at noon to cheer against Xavier when they were playing #1 St. Joes in the A-10 tournament in 2007 at the arena - their game wasn't until 9:45! Xavier won by 30 so it didn't do much good.
Anyway, Dayton fans are very proud and take basketball seriously. It's the only game in town (Wright State doesn't count) and they sell that place out every night no matter who they're playing - very impressive. I had 2 kids go to UD and they loved it.

Our daughter is moving to Singapore in early February for 2 years. Before the permanent move she has to do a 10 day trip to all the plants she'll be managing - she's headed to Singapore, Malaysia, India and Australia later this month. Not sure I'd want to take on that itinerary but she's young. Also not sure if her travels will ever take her to Korea. We plan to make the trip over to see her in September for her birthday.

Seems whatever team i root for, they fall short - the Texans are in trouble tomorrow. Maybe I should root for Michigan? What? Why are the Texans in trouble? I think they have a good chance to beat the Colts. What am I missing? Because I'm rooting for them - I seem to be a jinx to whoever I'm rooting for but since the Texans have CJ Stroud I have to cheer for them.

Ohio State was so close - I think replay cost them the game at Michigan.
As for Monday's game - I'll probably not watch it, hate to waste 3.5 hours when there's a chance I'll be bitterly disappointed by the outcome. Go Huskies!

I dug my Alabama hat out of my hat drawer and it will sit firmly on my head the rest of the day - ROLL TIDE!!!! Beat those cheating bastards worse than a teenage pecker staring at a Samantha James poster. I sure wish we could have done you better. Seems whatever team i root for, they fall short - the Texans are in trouble tomorrow. Maybe I should root for Michigan?
