Man, I sure do wish the Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bulls didn't all suck.
Hot damn, we have college football in days. DAYS. Hours, even! Meanwhile,
- The Big Ten now wants to expand to 24 or 28 teams in the playoff. Ahem, Mr. Pettiti: WE DON'T WANT THIS.
- And from our friends over at SBN's NC State blog, yeah. These dudes running the B1G have lost the plot.
- Farmageddon leads off this weekend's Week Zero festivities, but this fantastic series, running every year since 1917, will end in 2027. A damn shame. Save Farmageddon.
Last bit here. We're independent; we're trying to build something that doesn't rely on ads or clickbait. But that does mean that we will depend on you, our dear readers, to spread the word of our humble republic. If you like what we're doing, if you enjoy the community we're trying to cultivate, tell a friend/father/daughter/enemy/neighbor who might also enjoy good-natured rivalry talk, sports history, and a sizable dose of shitposts.
Also follow us on Bluesky! It's like Twitter, but without the Nazis or the ads.
