Fellow MFFLs, recently, our own Chuck Cooperstein (@coopmavs), the radio voice of the Mavs, had his Twitter account hacked & stolen, costing him tens of thousands of followers. He just relaunched a new account last night. Let's help him get his followers back! Spread the word.

Reasons 897-900 why the CFP expansion is great. It's giving us the: * 1st meeting all-time between Texas & Clemson * 1st meeting between in-state foes, N. Dame & Indiana, in 33 years * 2nd meeting all-time between Ohio St & Tennessee * 3rd meeting all-time between Penn St & SMU

None of these matchups happen w/o playoff expansion to 12 games. It also testifies to the need for Big Ten & Big 12 to reverse their recent move to 9 conference games, so we get *more* inter-conference matchups, not fewer. 75% of FBS teams (102 of 136) play 7-8 conference games.

Ounce upon a time, Burt Auburn was a good, reliable kicker. That time no longer exists. He's been a disappointment this year for the Longhorns, and his newfound shortcomings may cost Texas the SEC Championship.

NEW: Our report tonight on @OutFrontCNN — The Harris campaign is targeting Jews in PA and Arabs in Michigan with entirely different messages on Gaza. PA ads highlight her support for Israel's "ability to defend itself," while Michigan ads say "she will not be silent" on Gaza.

Where do we send the petition for the Mavs to move to the Eastern Conference? I'm LOVING these early game times! 11 of 15 tipoffs in Jan were at 7:30 PM CST or later. Just 3 of 11 in Feb tho, as the Mavs faced a slate of EC teams. In March, they they have four 8-9 PM games.

...DJJ & Exum 👍Traded Bertans & a 1st for Lively 🤞Traded cash for OMax & Holmes 🤞Resigned Kyrie I think Nico has had a great last 11 months! The G-Will trade hasn't worked out, but there's still time. And, while I think the Kyrie resigning was gold, he's already...

...missed 20 of 47 games since. So, that's a move that could still go south big time. Hopefully, Nico keeps batting .800 over the coming year, b/c work has to be done to make up for him batting .200 his first 2 years, which *really* hurt the team.

I think the meme is in reference to the fact that Slade Sohmer, the Editor in Chief of The Recount, who himself, wrote a detailed article debunking Pizzagate in May 2017 (& was thanked by Podesta), was just arrested on child pornography charges & sexually baiting children online.

Brent Venables was sad when last year's Red River Shootout ended before he learned to count to 50.

They're going to play 5-6 ranked teams per year, and 1-3 of them will be National Championship contenders. Other than 1 interesting OOC game per year, there is absolutely no value in playing anyone other than teams like Rice, UTSA, Texas State, UTEP, North Texas, SFA, etc. 2/

I wish that wasn't the case, b/c I really enjoy playing TCU & Baylor, specifically. Great fans & good games! But, you can't play the aforementioned schedule, plus a premier program like Michigan, Ohio St, etc...and then add Baylor, Tech, TCU, etc on top. 3/3

He very well could leave. But, here is an extensive list of every player in NBA history who was eligible for a Super Max & asked for a trade before signing it: 1) That's it. That's the list. NOBODY. Once traded, a player is no longer eligible for the Super Max. And....

...the new CBA makes it even more expensive to forfeit the Super Max than present. So Luka's not going to ask to be traded, b/c as has already been said, he'd have to forfeit over $100M in salary that physically cannot be recaptured after the trade. Thus, the Mavs have 4 years!

For the first time this season, Tim Hardaway (42.9%), Reggie Bullock (42.6%), & Josh Green (40.4%) all shot better than 40% from deep in the same month. Yet, the Mavs finished the month 5-6 (2-5 when Luka played).

Overall Bowl Record: 2014-21 58.7% - SEC 54.7% - Big 12 54.2% - Big Ten 42.9% - ACC 41.8% - Pac 12 1/ @jbrann123
Third best record and below…Big 12 has done better in recent years than people would think in the Sugar Bowl with victories over Alabama and Georgia…

I picked the playoff era b/c it made for a logical starting point. What these results tell me is (a) the SEC has a massively superior "top end" of the conference, (b) once you get past the top 2 teams, the SEC, Big Ten & Big 12 are comparable, and (c) the ACC & Pac-12 SUCK. 4/4
