@icecreamsandwich.bsky.social My kids asked me to share that we make spaghetti w peanut butter. We call it McGuyver Spaghetti (origin: very poor in college). Cook down the PB in olive oil & balsamic, add pasta and tomato sauce, cook more. Mix makes the sauce stick orangely to the pasta.

Just got home. Love this team. Thought about it but...
1) Beating MSU at Breslin was bigger (and State was >) and I didn't do that.
2) Kinda not in the mood to celebrate after a player got wheelchaired out
3) UCLA, UConn, Vandy: Muppets have been on the table 3x
4) BTT, projected 2-seed. Stay tuned.
@mgoseth.bsky.social again, I demand Muppets

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

Yaxel pullup three over UCLA's tallest player, just to make sure Cronin knows what to complain about in his presser.
February 14, 2026 at 7:19 PM
Over the back is a consistent issue in this conference. UCLA isn't trying to rebound, they're jumping late to bump the rebounder off the ball and take away his space to come down. Call it or every miss is going to be a loose ball or injury.

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Michigan was moving up to #1 in the newest NET rankings regardless, but IU (#30) and NWern (#75) both inched up to exactly the minimum line Q1 victories as well. 10-0 v Q1.

MTSU (#160) moved up to the minimum for Q3. Nova (#32) is two spots away from Q1.

Review the hook and hold. They're not going to stop!
February 12, 2026 at 3:35 AM
You will never guess which of these teams has a massive advantage in shot quality right now.
February 12, 2026 at 2:14 AM
Northwestern starts at maximum annoying, as they do. Two weak fouls drawn by Martinelli on Nimari (one a Jeremy Fears stop and flop special), two fallaway jumpers fell, two missed bunnies by Michigan with uncalled contact, and a box with Ohio State's interminable game taking up half the screen.
