I do my best to try and grow things for a living. KSU grad. And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, well, I have really good days.

AGCO deciding to implement a new parts software in the middle of harvest has got to be one of the more braindead decisions their company has made and that's saying something.
Tomorrow will be two weeks from the breakdown and the parts still haven't arrived. @AGCOcorp is putting their dealers through a great deal of unnecessary stress and hassle and they will lose customers over this deal
Notre Dame should have already accepted their fate against BYU well before last night's loss given the Pop Tarts bowl mascot's ominous warning before his inevitable sacrifice last December

It’s important that we all remember that every terrible change that’s been made to college football in the last 20 years is a direct result of the Longhorn Network and the University of Texas.
The Chesney's love their boat analogies
WATCH: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney’s pregame speech before upsetting Oregon:
“Burn the f****** boats. There is no way out. We can’t go that way. You got to go through those mother f******.”😳

The obvious one's gotta be hockey and baseball. A maybe more obscure one is as a child I remember going to a local dirt track race and one of the drivers ending up racing NASCAR. It was jaw dropping how much faster he went around the track compared to everyone else

Multiple factors, but here are the key reasons imo
1. Games between big programs just feel like two groups of mercenaries facing off. The teams don’t feel as tied to the fanbase or community as much anymore because guys are only there for like eight months.
2. Mercenary teams means sloppy football for the first month. And not in the fun Pac-12 way.
3. The broadcast feels like a vehicle that purely exists to get you sign up for a sportsbook. They have to dial it back. It’s too much.
4. The pregame shows don’t feel like they actually love the sport, but rather just love the conference that pays them more.
5. Vibes are off, generally.

Umpires take a lot of heat, but that 3B ump's calm, condescending mannerisms back to PCA are spectacular.

This angle gets me, where he’s just kind of standing there soaking it in, then sees his daughter and smiles, then instantly melts into tears … whew. Hell of a run, 35.

This one really sums up my thoughts/disinterest with GameDay, which used to be appointment TV to me.
Week two was their fourth trip to Austin in the past five seasons. This Saturday will be their fourth trip to Knoxville in the past five seasons. They're going to familiar/uninteresting places and the bigger issue is that they're chasing the "biggest game" instead of the best storyline.
The one time I tuned into Gameday this season was to see the Ole Miss crowd welcoming back Lane Kiffin. It was something I had to see on Gameday, because I could only get that atmosphere in Oxford.
You can talk about a great game anywhere, but to feel a storyline come to life has to be boots on the ground... And the best storyline in college football this weekend isn't an untested Tennessee team hosting #1 Texas...
It's (arguably) the two best G6 teams in the country going at it this weekend in Kalamazoo with massive CFP implications.
It's Mississippi State with a homegrown future NFL quarterback being ranked for the first time since Mike Leach passed.
It's West Virginia knocking off Virginia and being 3-0 for the first time since 2018, hosting an OK State team that pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season so far.
Instead Gameday will be in... Knoxville... Where the crew will spend most of the show talking about how great the SEC is, in front of a crowd that being a part of Gameday is on annual occasion.
Ask someone who has lived with Gameday the past 20 years what their favorite episode was... They'll probably say it was the one in Fargo, or Pullman, or Harrisonburg, or maybe in Boone...
They won't say Tuscaloosa or Austin though. I can bet you that.
