    CU looking close to hiring Karl Dorral as the next HC.  You might remember Karl from a completely forgettable stretch as head coach for UCLA in the mid 2000s.

    Haha fair point!

    Local radio is making a fair point that Dorrell is the type of coach who would probably stick around CU, if he has any type of success.  CU can't risk another coach using the program as a stepping-stone job, so they have to settle for a coach who may not be very good in the first place.

    That's a reasonable point for sure.  Man that just speaks to how bad it is at Boulder.  "We gotta hire a coach that wants to win, but not win enough to actually leave for another job."  Yuck.  Of course the fact that CU has beaten NU the last two times really makes it stink.

    Part 1 of the 30 for 30 on Mike Vick is scheduled to go tonight at 8pm CDT on either ESPN or ESPN2.  Should be pretty good.

    Not quite sure, if I had to guess, probably until 4th of July or maybe a day or two after?  I found the 50% off link on June 28th on Adam Hansmann's (who appears to be the co-founder of The Athletic) Twitter.  They always seem to have a 30% off promo floating around but I guessed they would run a 50% off promo over the 4th of July and thankfully, I guessed correctly.  Hard to beat $2.50/mo.

    Good timing too. That article from Feldman today on Verduzco's QB teaching was money

    I really enjoyed the 1980s CFB articles, talk about the wild west!  Plus the article about Little Big League was great because I absolutely love that movie.

    Big day in the Xmas household for sports.  Tottenham plays in the Champs League final at 2p, Skers at 7p against Okie Lite.  A sweep would be oh so delicious.

    Ugh, yup pretty awful all the way around.  That Champs League final was frankly...a pretty bad match.  So disjointed.  The early penalty (which was harsh) really threw a wrench into the flow of the match.  Credit to Liverpool, they were the ones doing the mucking and outside of a free kick and maybe one other chance, completely locked Spurs down.

    Yeah, it was probably the worst Champions League final in the last decade.

    The worst part of it, for a Tottenham fan, is they are probably going to lose Eriksen along with a couple other players. I would hate to see that happen.

    Any HB members subscribe to The Athletic?  If so, what are your thoughts?  Thinking about pulling the trigger next time they run a big sign up sale.

    I love it, and if you're into fantasy football and baseball it's a must have.

    A buddy of mine lent me his credentials a couple of months ago. After checking it out for a few weeks, I haven't used his subscription since. I don't seek out content for professional teams or national sporting news very often, and when I do, it's mostly from other outlets (i.e. the Trib or something like that). I don't fault The Athletic for this though - it's just not really worth the cost to me personally.

    Mitch Sherman is OK, but his quantity/quality of content isn't enough to have a subscription just because of him, IMHO. I also think there are a few better local reporters who have better connections. He's more of a salad to the main dish.

    I think I am at the point now where I would never pay for anything online every again that isn't something from Amazon or a store or Netflix.  Shoot I got Youtube Red and then realized the s#!t I wanted to watch was free on "another site"

    Well done Purdue.  Well.  Done.

    Did somebody cut some onions in here?

    Couldn't agree more.  The first line of the tweet hits you like a ton of bricks.

    Sat and watched that Gameday segment and not afraid to admit I choked up like a baby at the end.

    He seemed like a wonderful person. Cancer sucks. Really happy to see Purdue step up and make him part of the team like they did. Bravo.

    Kudos to Purdue for this - not just paying lip service to an amazing young man.

    After watching the first couple episodes of the INDY Last Chance U made me feel this coach wasnt fit to be around young men.  This quote is not surprising at all, and the way he treats players is unacceptable.  Add on the fact he was extremely unorganized and had a limited knowledge of football and this guy's incompetence was quite impressive.

    They also went 2-8 which I'm sure didn't help his cause

    Welcome to the HOF Edgar!  Great piece of news on a super crappy weather day.  The Double is easily the top Ms moment for me.  Damn those teams were good.

    So happy for him! It was long overdue for one of the best hitters in baseball. Such an iconic moment. I was in the leftcenter nosebleeds for game Game 3 and 5, my dad saw Junior round second and started yelling, “He’s gonna score! He’s gonna score!” Gives me chills at this very moment

    Oh man that would've been incredible. I lived in Seattle as a kid for a couple years in '91 and '92 so I just missed the run.  I saw a ton of Ms games in 1992 mostly because the Ms were awful that year and tickets were incredibly cheap.  Man the Kingdome was such a dive but damn that place was a launching pad.

    Ohio State minus the points next week against NW is lock city right?  I mean...we literally had this exact scenario happen a few years ago when tOSU needed a convincing win to leap into the playoff and they put up a 59 burger on Whisky.

    What is "minus the points"?? Think you mean give/lay the points.

    Yeah, minus the points/lay the points.  All the same thing.

    Sam M is currently doing a live chat on the OWH website if anyone is interested.  It doesn't appear that you need to be a subscriber to read along.

    Did he complain about not being able to watch practices? :)    Ok, ok, dead horse is dead - I'll stop beating it now.
