Gus Johnson was in rare form in Indiana's dramatic win over Penn State.

Indiana's epic comeback win over Penn State broke Gus Johnson
In a game that gave us peak Gus Johnson, the ending to Indiana-Penn State might have been what finally broke the vociferous Fox Sports announcer.

That’s before I reckon with the ethics of using a thing for ghost efficiency that is pretty societally devastating.
And on a final personal note, I don’t want to become stupid before my time. I really don’t. I will keep mucking about so that I can keep mucking about, for as long as possible.

Bill Belichick is the perfect synecdoche for what NC politics and their university administration have done to my alma mater. UNC remains a great university thanks to the students, faculty, and staff. But the leaders are failing the institution.

This is a great article that demonstrates what an empty human being Belichick is.
"The greatest coach of all time had arrived in Chapel Hill and promptly led the Heels to the worst start in the history of the program—dating all the way back to 1888."

No One Is Having a Worse Time Than Bill Belichick
The greatest coach in football history has become a national punch line. As North Carolina’s season keeps sinking to new depths, the vibes in Chapel Hill aren’t just bad. They’re an all-time disaster.

Every dollar spent on SNAP generates between $1.50 and $1.80 for local economies.
Even if you don’t care about poor people (which you absolutely should), you should care about the entirely self-inflicted negative economic impact this is going to have

i know these people are too stupid to realize it but snap benefits and food assistance actually take money from
the federal government, pass it through real people to feed them, and then that money ends up in the local economy and farms. it’s exactly the kind of thing you want to happen!

I would point an interested reader and careful thinker to two things.
One, the university recently built another top-down school without student demand or sustainable funding. It isn’t doing so well.
Two, I would point out that sports dynasties are built over generations.

I mean that, seriously. Something like Bama Rush improves university brand recognition, generates tens of millions of dollars in mostly positive attention, and the sororities have better long term prospects than a college football team at an ACC basketball dynasty school.

Can't wait to read in the News & Observer in a few months how much my employer pays a PR firm to rehab this. 1.5x my salary? 2x?
Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media
