I’m not even sure why Charlie Sykes was on. We usually listened to Bob and Brian and tried winning “You Can’t Win”. We’d spend study hall trying to find answers in the, checks notes, encyclopedias. But asking Sal Bando about Julio Machado was great

Two Machado stories. 1. I had an autographed baseball card of his that disappeared during my college days. Wildly upsetting. 2. Our drafting class teacher let us call the Charlie Sykes show when Sal Bando was on and I asked if Machado would be back or what the news was on him

A hiring with no dignity

Oh, it’s going to be Pat Fitzgerald. Perfect match. That team is going to have so many personal fouls in the Michigan game

I don’t think he’ll have enough success years 1 and 2 at LSU to get the Bama gig. DeBoer has 1 more year, maybe 2.

That Bama job will be open in a year or two. Ride it out in Oxford. Silly choice

Also, local meteorologists are having a BAD year pertaining to my personal weather sphere. 3 golf outings where the forecast was spectacularly wrong and this “fluffy snow” mixed with “some wet snow”. Might become a republican and ban science if this keeps up

Somehow my sinuses are frozen/clogged. All the dirt from leaf pickup/yard cleanup coupled with the moisture from the snow = disaster in my sinuses

But the Big Ten doesn’t have a moral side

Norvell wildly ahead of the pack as first coach fired in ‘26
