Hey CFB fans! I am going to be at a journalism conference in NY and on another family vacation for the next 14 days. Going to be out of pocket and fueling up energy levels before CFB season starts. We’re almost there! - Scoot
Just watched Happy Gilmore II with Kelly. Couldn’t finish it. Stinks
The ACC game I am most excited for each week of the 2025 season!
hey @grok Do you know who was the most famous person (with the most followers) who visited my profile? They don’t have to be mutual. Don’t tag them, just say who it was
Anyone with a brain is asking this question: Why did this UNC “report” come out while UNC was physically at ACC media day. Everything I am hearing points to SEC coordinating this via back channels. Very very interesting.
Very interesting things coming out of Birmingham:

it's heating up in Oxnard ♨️ #CowboysCamp | @AmericanAir

Spot the lie 😳 @Big12Conference
SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee on the ACC and perception of the conference: “When it comes to our league… there’s only been 3 leagues to win a National Championship, that have those teams in their league right now, since 1990. All the teams that have won a National Championship…
Article on Memphis’s Big12 offer coming soon (after ACC media days). Going to discuss why Big12 looks foolish for turning down the most favorable realignment offer in recent CFB history. Literally an offer with only upside.

Mics on. Let’s Roll. 🎙️ Follow along live on @accnetwork! 📺 theacc.co/25kickoff
“juggernaut” ha
the big 12 has evolved into a juggernaut of college conferences. it’s a blessing to cover the best league in america!
Long day in California with @214Coverage And @CowboysBraun is already enjoying himself! Haha.
I respect Memphis for this. Getting a seat at the table can alter the WHOLE trajectory of a program (cc: SMU). People can laugh all they want but Memphis is clearly playing the long game.
In the most lucrative membership proposal in college sports history, Memphis has made a $200 million offer to enter the Big 12, sources tell @YahooSports. For now, it does not have enough support but potentially sets a standard for all future expansion. bit.ly/40uAHeJ
