Still odd to see him literally at the bottom. I mean Mike Davis is 28th lol. 

It’s skewed toward just tournament performance. Davis had 1 upset in the first round, 2 finishes to seed expectation, and a championship appearance as a 5 seed. 
 

This is most obvious in Hubert Davis at 15.

Has anyone gotten into sports/competitions with their pets?

We’re starting to do some dog sports. We’ve been training for k9 agility for a few months and hope to compete soon for the first time.

So I decided to enter a confidence pool today for bowls. All picks due in morning for all games. With players opting out, not playing it's pretty tough to choose.

Anyone see some games that should be on upset alert? I just looked at spreads and it seems there's about 15 games around the 3 point spread. 

I love bowl season. PS....I haven't read the whole thread on Mississippi but the Gulf Coast/Shores....absolutely beautiful!

I don’t have anything too technical but I feel good about Miss State and not so good about PU and OSU. They both seem to have a lot opting out. I haven’t seen much else but those stand out.

Serious question why should he not be able to help recruit 

Isn’t he a head of one of their NIL organizations?

If so, that is basically breaking the main NIL rule. 
 

I’d also add this opens some doors. I think that is what @btownqb is talking about. Next time a coach leaves why not appoint Anthony Thompson as an intern and let him recruit during the search?

Apparently, IU is revoking season ticket holders. Zane is a local guy and is one of the announcers for USI, so he is pretty trustworthy 

 

I’m not mad about that. Our seats are right behind the visitors sideline. We are always surrounded by the other team’s fans so the selling is a big problem. It seems like it’s always the same seats, too. 

Talk about the coaching carousel has started so we might as well consolidate it here. 
 

Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Cincy have filled their jobs. 
 

Who is next?

Brohm to UL is the big talk down here. We’ll see if it happens this time.

Did anyone hear the DD show the day after the NC win? He said Woody is just getting started making IU great again and that Woody told 4 GREAT players no that wanted to transfer to IU because Woody wanted to be loyal to the guys on the end of the bench already here. Dan said that wouldn't be the case going forward. Mentioned Duncomb, said if you think he is a player think again. Said IU is the best team in the country but wouldn't go unbeaten. I found that interesting and he basically said his source with telling another story.

What was the source?

And what is wrong with Duncomb?

I put a turkey breast on tonight. Marinated in some garlic and herb from the store and added some salt and pepper. 
 

My wife got turkeys buy one get one free at something like $.75 a pound. I broke them down so we’ve got some good pieces in the freezer.

How were the S'mores?

I had a strawberry ice cream bar-

Finally, as always, Goose Island will offer a Chicago-only release: Proprietor's Bourbon County Stout (again, ABV TDB). "For the second year in a row, Proprietor's Bourbon County Stout is inspired by a classic frozen treat and brewed again by the mastermind, Emily Kosmal," Goose Island states. Proprietor's Bourbon County Stout is "blended with luscious strawberries, vanilla and coconut, reminiscent of a classic strawberry ice cream bar."

I got more of the strawberry than the vanilla or coconut. Very good overall but the I liked the Cherry one better. 

I got a few bottles of the original last weekend. Today I got the Biscotti and Coffee variants. I found a store that had a pretty good selection left.

I have some 2022 Dragon's Milk Reserve on tap for the game tonight. Bourbon Barrel Aged with Chocolate, Marshmallow and Graham Cracker.

I just opened one and I’m really liking it. 
I didn’t get much marshmallow until it warmed up a bit. I think Dragons Milk is one of the best deals in a barrel aged stout. It’s readily available, affordable, and good.

I can tell you this. IU better win over Flory and his family if they want a shot because I can tell you Mark Adam’s isn’t likely to want him going there and it’s not nothing to do with his son or UC. 

What’s his issue with IU?

Looking forward to replenishing my supply on Black Friday. 

https://www.gooseisland.com/our-stories/2022/08/01/introducing-bourbon-county-stout-2022/

Knowing I have more coming soon, I'm going to stick one in the fridge for the IU game this aft. 

I always enjoy looking for it and usually end up with a few bottles. Last week I opened my last cherry wood variant from last year. 
 

We’re going to the basketball game Friday so I won’t be able to go to my normal spots on Black Friday.

Williams and Lucas are the best options in the backfield so you might as well admit that and try to get them to stay.

Reporting back.  This was very good. 

Next time... I will go 2-3 mins on direct heat each side.... 10-15 mins indirect, finish on the blackstone. 

7.5 would be my rating tonight and I'm a tough critic on myself. 

What brine did you use?
