#Oregon vs #UGA would’ve been this year’s #BCS National Championship matchup in the older old system. Postseason formats tell us what leagues value in a champion.
Here it is, what we’ve been waiting for — the season-ending simulated #BCS rankings. How will the @CFBPlayoff rankings compare?

College football stadium audio managers are leaning heavily into mid-2010s #EDM Big Room tracks a decade late. I hope @MartinGarrix and @DVBBS are getting their NIL royalties. #CFB @NCAAFootball

@kevinnbrown is shouting out @binge_mode and @MalloryRubin on the #Orioles @masnOrioles broadcast. I am the target audience for this content.

The @AP_Top25 preseason rankings are out! Which #CollegeFootball conference are voters projecting will be the strongest? My simple yet novel methodology uses the AP Poll to answer that question. #CFB #NCAAF medium.com/@jacooper1317/the…

Seems a bit early for pumpkin spice, doesn't it? But how early is it compared to previous years? ☕️🍂🎃

Headlines like this come about this time every year that proclaim the way-too-early arrival of #PumpkinSpice and its famous coffee craze. Each year, they say #pumpkin products seem to be released earlier than ever. They are right. Sort of.

Pumpkin spice season is defrosting — earlier than usual — and people have mixed feelings about it 🍂

@SatDownSouth's @cjogara challenged @TheSDSPod listeners to try to match each #SEC's 3 permanent football opponents. My attempt is likely to solve all of Birmingham's dilemmas about this and please everyone equally, right?

Someone should study this further.
The evolution of the college sports map over the past several decades has been startling, dismantling any notion of regionality that conferences once conferred. 53eig.ht/3rhG52R

I'm as excited as anyone for the start of #MarchMadness (Go #Vols! @Vol_Hoops), but with the return of its traditional format comes its full carbon footprint. @MLKStreet @mcculloughbrian and I attempt to be constructively critical for the @NCAA in our work.

Tennessee @Vol_Football has scored 31 points in its last 12 third quarters against Power 5 opponents, i.e. fewer than 3 points per game on average. Even with the new offense this year, Q3 remains a weak spot.

Now 38 points in its last 13 Power-5 third quarters, just under 3 points per game on average.

Enjoyed contributing the cover photo (set in Knoxville, TN) and article for v61 no3 of @SEGeographer. I had fun writing about my recent fascination: the material and urban geography of festive string lights. Full-text: doi.org/10.1353/sgo.2021.001…. Enjoy!

After 6 rounds of peer review, I'm pleased to share my article with @mcculloughbrian carbon footprinting the 2019 @marchmadness. This is a new, simpler way to broadly evaluate the emissions and sustainability of sports tourism. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dXNy…

This article really goes together with my commentary with @MLKStreet talking about opportunities for wholistic sustainability of tourism post-pandemic doi.org/10.1080/14616688.202…

A #EuropeanSuperLeague wouldn't help the European Union's fight against climate change any. Professional football travel already has a carbon footprint, and shorter, not longer, team trips can help lower GHG emissions (doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.20…).
🟦 Why are the clubs doing this?
🟪 What about domestic leagues?
🟦 How will it work?
Some of the world's biggest football clubs have agreed to join a new #EuropeanSuperLeague. #bbcfootball #ESL
Had fun writing this (pre-pandemic) photo essay for @AmericanGeo's #FOCUSonGeography exploring constructions of sports fandom and place identity through #SEC college football on Twitter. It's open-source (hooray!) and just in time for bowl season. doi.org/10.21690/foge/2020.6…
.@bellhooks' "Belonging: A Culture of Place" was recently re-released, and cultural geographers of the US South should take notice. Here's why in the @SEGeographer: doi.org/10.1353/sgo.2020.002…. @SEDAAG4
