Glad I missed the Thursday game. I definitely would have picked Buccaneers over Falcons, and I might have locked it. I have Seahawks over the Colts; not because of the quarterback but because Seahawks have a better team.

I popped on the Washington/Furman game (mostly to see if I actually have access to ESPNU, which, yay) and the Furman University team all have "FU" on the backs of their jerseys where the names usually are and I kinda love it.

It's been cold here for the last few weeks so I think the Pack are acclimated as well. In fact, we've a few days of snow down here this week, plus right now. Nothing is sticking, though.

This does seem a weird time of year for an outdoor championship. Growing up playing soccer in OK you kinda just dealt with the various elements, but I always found playing in the cold especially miserable. Nothing like hopping in the shower the next morning and looking down to find your legs that are tie-dyed with bruises from getting smacked by a rock-hard ball.
That might work in SLU's favor though - we're currently clear but are up to 10.5" of snow already for the Winter and it's felt like January more often than not for about six weeks so they should be pretty acclimated to it by now.

State is the highest seed remaining in this College Cup. So they must a 1 or a 2 seed or something high like that? No, they're a 15 seed!
The College Cup is being played right here in Cary, NC. Too cold, though. If I wanted to be outside to watch a sporting event in the cold, I would still be in northern Michigan. Eff that ess.

If you're sensing an unidentified source of tension in the locker room today, it's probably because my Billikens are down NoMich's way preparing to take on the NC State Wolfpack in one of tonight's Men's NCAA Soccer Final Four semifinal matches.

Howard and I are the next men up.
No way I will report unless I am guaranteed to start. I plan a new strategy for the rushing attack. I remove my helmet, showing what's left of my snow white hair, and begin to run. More like hobble on 2 bad knees. Would be tacklers begin to laugh at the spectacle, and will not touch me. It shouldn't take me more than 2 or 3 minutes to run the length of the field, assuming that I don't collapse on the way. Forget about a passing attack. My rheumatoid arthritis has progressed to the point where I would have difficulty holding a football. Getting old but still having fun.

Hey everyone! really enjoying The Saturday Huddle. I love how it shines a light on stories that often fly under the radar, kind of like the way a great crime mystery book covers hints at the twists and secrets inside without giving it all away.

And Duke continues to make itself unwelcome and unwanted.
And Tulane is apparently now Forlane.
As the son of an Indiana alum, I can't begin to describe the state of disbelief that now orbits around the IU football program.
I wish I could tell Penn State fans how much more enjoyable life is when you don't consider your team anointed, don't harbor exalted aspirations, and don't go around in a state of despair when your team loses a game here and there.

UAB has made post-Dilfer interim head coach Alex Mortensen the permanent HC.
Seems like there's good and bad to that.
Mortensen is deserving of opportunity. But should it happen at a place like UAB?
I was hoping he'd move on to a better program in a better place as an OC or in other position rather than have to shovel all the Dilfer manure out of the room to find the pony in there somewhere.

Colts at Jaguars is 53%/47% on Yahoo's pickem. This is the NFL's top-ranked run defense against Jonathan Taylor and I'm going with Jacksonville with some trepidation.

RIP Elden Campbell, noteworthy college and NBA big man.
Sorry to say, my most indelible memory of him was as a Clemson player trying to defend UConn Husky Tate George's iconic buzzer beater in the 1990 NCAA Tournament.
There was almost no chance for UConn to score with the amount of time remaining on the clock.
Yet score and win they did, and the look on Campbell's face after George's shot went in was one of utter shock and disbelief.
Happy for Campbell that he eventually won a NBA title with the Pistons.

Both traditional Thanksgiving Day host teams, the Lions and Cowboys, are playing tomorrow night.
Two Thursday games in a row for both.
The league did this to the Lions last year. They played again the following Thursday, but last year, the Cowboys' next game after Thanksgiving was a Monday night game, so they had a lot more time off than the Lions.
Seems like two Thursday games in a row is a bit much. Also, I thought that a team that played on a Thursday would get a home game (or a bye) the following week, but the Cowboys are on the road against the Lions.
All in all, it seems like suck scheduling. And the Lions need all the breaks they can get right now.

I was glad when the Pats changed to the color blue, because - why would upstart colonists want to be seen in bright British Army red? It never made sense to me.
Notice that in the classic old logo, Pat Patriot is wearing a blue coat as he should be.
They made a mistake when they got rid of the great Pat Patriot logo and went to the Flying Elvis, which I always thought looked like John Kerry.
The proper thing to do would be to keep the blue colors and go back to the old Pat Patriot logo.

Palmieri was skating like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz when he stole the puck. He could barely move. He maxed out his ability and effectiveness in the moment.
The whole thing was great, the awareness, puck handling, the following leave off assist and the scoring shot. So glad it resulted in a goal.

Texted a friend this morning who played Junior B, and is still coaching (30 years later).
He says that's the answer, that Philadelphia voluntarily brought puck back in, so no offside.

That actually hadn't crossed my mind, you'd think it would be offside.
My theory is because the Flyers voluntarily brought the puck back into their own zone.

My mom grew up a Packers fan. I remember us having a The Pack Is Back bumper sticker on the ol family wagon when they hired Bart Starr as their head coach. The Milwaukee Sentinel Journal was their big city newspaper.

The Athletic has an intriguing (paywall protected) article on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the rivalry between Packers fans and Lions fans.
It seems serious. NoMich would know. Today will tell a tale.

In my mind we mark the occasion by watching old Justin Blackmon highlights and then finding a karaoke spot to do a rousing rendition of (Denton's own) Slobberbone's "Some New Town".

I shouldn't pick Dallas but they have a knack for winning on this holiday. I am hoping Shadeur Sanders does well at home against the Niners but I can't see an upset happening. It feels like the distant past when the Commanders were a playoff team. I'm still kinda rooting for Dan Quinn.

rcade to NoMich: "I'll see your sausage biscuits and raise you a Camel Rider Combo".
Nice Camel Rider reference! It only took me 20 years but I finally tried them. The Sheik is my life.

Sort of like the call letters of the radio station at the University of North Texas being KNTU, when a lot of folks think the letters should be placed in the correct order.
Don't worry about such things harming rcade's innocence. For decades, Jacksonville has had a radio station with the call letters WAPE.
The station uses a gorilla logo to accentuate the "APE" part of the call sign, but still...
In the 70's, they had a big billboard visible from I-95 somewhere up around Golfair Blvd. The call letters were much bigger than the monkey.
