ACC standings- my prediction that Clemson would win the conference this year is looking increasingly unlikely to pan out.

Positives for England heading into the Super 8. That was the shorter part of the longer video you can find on YouTube. The negatives were longer.

Miami’s reward for beating Virginia Tech was dropping two spots in the .NET rankings. No doubt their reward for losing at UVA on Saturday will be to move up.

Clemson is collapsing and they’ve got a red hot Florida State team coming into Littlejohn on Saturday

Again the key here is Reneau who averaged 20+ PPG had a migraine and was limited to 9 pts and missed a large portion of the game. VT is on the bubble and had bad luck @ SMU ... but not winning this with Reneau out and letting Donaldson go off like this means bubble likely burst for the Hokies.

this is not vintage Manchester City and as far as I’m concerned Arsenal are far & away the best team in the division this year, I would not even say City or second or third, but it is clear the Gunners hear footsteps.

Dube went for a duck against the USA but is tearing the Dutch part. Again India always find a way.
February 18, 2026 at 3:11 PM
India struggling vs Netherlands…similar to the US match.

still, I’ve learned they generally do what they need to do to win matches, even if it appears they’re totally off

💯
Development is a good thing in some place like Manhattan which has the infrastructure, environment and geology to support it. The FL Peninsula however, already has the twice the number that the environment can support.

Reneau had a migraine headache I’m informed…wasn’t hurt. Nonetheless VT blew a huge opportunity.
February 18, 2026 at 3:15 AM
Miami wins its tenth ACC game. Sort of fortunate at the end but Reneau was hurt much of the game and it’s first game he didn’t hit double digits… so really VT blew it. It. If VT is on the wrong side of the bubble Selection Sunday remember this.

The Boca Raton Municipal Elections I am covering are wild - I have not seen the city so polarized in the past.

It's not ideological surprisingly. Plenty of Republicans on the anti-development side and plenty of Dems supporting developers. That's the way SoFla local politics once was BTW...

If you’re around Paterson, you might see a brand new New York Cosmos billboard.

Apparently there are six #NYCosmos billboards across the city and the surrounding towns.

With near-certain losses coming at UVA and at FSU in the next week, MUST beat VT to stay on the right side of the bubble. Also probably need to win at SMU in two weeks. It is true, Miami hasn't really done anything yet. But doing enough to this point to get in...

why do so many American side with multimillionaires and billionaires over working people any way that you never see in other first world countries?

I jumped back on that other app for the first time in a year just to make satirical tweets about Elon Musk’s racism but I’m finding the crowd there is so motivated by or numb to by said racism that they don’t quite grasp what I’m saying. I’ll keep going for a few more days and see how it plays out.

FAU lose to USF again...put a fork in FAU's NCAA hopes. They just don't have it.

USF however do. UF is going to be a #1 or #2 seed. Miami finally on the right side of the bubble (that can change though). UCF should still get in. Feels like this is a big year in the state.
