I didn't come up with it, but I'll share it. The woman who ran onto the field had a better chance or scoring on Alisson than Harry Kane. Went right by VVD.

I've never seen someone lift a trophy with as much joy as Hendo lifting Big Ears. Sextuple is one for next season. The Super Cup is in Istanbul.

As an App State fan, I can't believe it. First time ever being ranked.

We use to play Wofford, The Citadel, Furman and Elon every year. Now we've played Wake Forest and Miami at home and have North Carolina, South Carolina, Marshall, etc on future home schedules. That alone made the FBS move worth it. In our last full FCS season, the SoCon replaced its Fox Sports regional TV deal with PBS. While the Sun Belt isn't perfect, we got a seat at the adults table. The FCS playoffs are exciting, but the lack of ambition by 70 percent of the subdivision doesn't make being a big fish there exciting. The big negative is the lack of regionalism in the conferences, but I feel at our level that could change in the next few years.

Was looking up Champions League stuff and saw that LFC has a chance at Pot 2. If both Benfica and Basel get knocked out in the qualifying stages, LFC will be the last team in Pot 2. Basel is currently in the second qualifying round against PAOK and Benfica will be in the third qualifying round. Both will still have to win the fourth playoff round to make the group stage.

As an App State fan whose been to the last 100+ home games, it's been interesting seeing the changes on our level. Our attendance is lower than it was 10 years ago, despite moving to FBS. In moving to FBS, all our games are now on TV, be it ESPN3.com (now ESPN+) or regular TV. In FCS, it was dodgy team-specific internet streams that sometimes didn't work. Now I can watch every game in HD from home. I have friends who have kids now and the experience is just too expensive between tixs, concessions, parking, walking, dinner, gas, merch, etc, so they pick and choose 2-3 games a year. Hotels fill up quickly since this is a small town, despite $200-$300 price tags. I tailgate starting at dawn, no matter the game time, so it's a whole day no matter what. But I live 15 minutes from the stadium. A lot of our fans live 2-3 hours drive away. Also, in moving to FBS, we left a lot of our regional opponents behind, so we're playing Texas State, Louisiana and teams that our fans have no emotional attachment to. That being said, I'll take FBS and having 0 percent chance of winning a National Title at this level over competing for the FCS title every year. Although having no TV timeout in FCS was sweet as games could end in under 3 hours.

I'll be in Charlotte on Sunday. Probably bar hopping. Good thing is that you can drink at 10 a.m. on Sundays in N.C. now. Was Noon until last summer.

Lots os shit's gonna fly around before the teams leave for Russia. LFC is trying to avoid the post-WC tax that some players will have.

So basically, LFC replaced Coutinho with Keita, Fabinho and Fekir. Fucking A. Get a backup striker and a top-flight keeper if you're going that route, sell the deadwood and call it a summer.

Bild in Germany is saying Karius suffered a concussion in the collision with Ramos two minutes before the Benzema goal. The diagnosis comes from a doctor in Boston at the behest of the LFC medical team.
