A viewer asked @sam_goetzinger which players he enjoyed watching over the last couple of weeks at state tournaments?

@seemikedunn These videos are phenomenal ... wish I had seen this 30 yrs ago

@FirstSquawk Since when did we start telling the enemy we are going to bomb them before we bomb them?

Opening paragraph from Jemele: “The United States hockey team was too white, too male and too pro-America, TOO PRO TRUMP for my taste. Was that our national hockey team or a gathering of white supremacists harassing a man at night in Chicago for just trying to get a Subway sandwich? And they played on ice, y’all.
ICE.
When the winning overtime goal happened I fell to my knees and wailed. Tears poured down my face. For Renee Good for Alex Pretti. For the fact that the US men’s hockey team DIDN’T EVEN LET COLIN KAEPERNICK TRY OUT EVEN THOUGH HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST PLAYER WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Now don’t get me wrong, the Canadian team isn’t perfect. They don’t have any trans players, but they do have two gay eskimos.
And if you ask me to choose between white supremacists and gay eskimos I’m taking the gay eskimos faster than Nancy Pelosi hits buy on an insider trading tip.
(Before this column continues, I would like to apologize for not acknowledging it was written on stolen lands at the outset.)
I’m so sick of white men.
Leaving aside democracy, the rule of law, the Internet, antibiotics, and the wheel, what have white men ever accomplished anyway? They’re all overrated garbage. Plus, if Harriet Tubman had been allowed to play hockey, she would have been the greatest hockey player of all time.
Fact.
But instead she had to run the Underground Railroad.
Because of white male racists.
Like the US men’s hockey team.
So, sure, go ahead and celebrate, racists, but don’t expect me to join in.
I’ll be on Blue Sky, where we still have the freedom to keep people from saying things that hurt our feelings.

“Why I was rooting for Canada,” a joint op-ed from Keith Olbermann and Jemele Hill on their discomfort with American exceptionalism will probably be @nytimes headline within a few hours.

@DomIzzoWDAY Will NDSU be able to offer more scholarships right away?
English

There are so many tentacles to try and hit with this:
- Scheduling for 2026. I’m told the non-conference games are a wash for this year, so #NDSU needs to find 3-4 games.
- Recruiting. Those top 2027 local players that maybe didn’t want to look at an FCS school, do they look now?

@SamHerderFCS ESPN selection show host trade suggestion: Sam Herder for Jay Walker. Guys a clown. No one knows FCS as a whole better than Sam.
English

The FCS selection show airs at 11 a.m. CT on ESPNU.
Who gets the last couple of Top 16 seeds, and who the last teams in will be fascinating. I think it's between 8-4 UNH and 7-5 UND for the last bid. I went with UND due to:
-Currently-ranked wins:
UND 2
UNH 1
-SOS:
UND No. 1
UNH No. 49
-Massey rating (committee uses this metric):
UND No. 6
UNH No. 28
-Performances in losses (committee values eye test):
UND lost by 3 to P4 K-State, by 1 to Top 5 Montana, by 5 to ranked USD, by 5 to No. 1 NDSU, and by 3 to ranked SDSU
UNH lost by 5 to G5 Ball State, by 7 to unranked Dartmouth, by 30 to ranked Nova, by 11 to ranked Rhody
Quality wins, SOS, computer rankings, and eye test all point to UND. But what makes sense to me may not make sense to individual committee members during the voting process
UNH has the edge in that it's on a 5-game winning streak. UND has lost 3 of its last 4. But again, SOS has mattered to the committee in past seasons

@TomiLahren Health insurance. Ridiculous how much it goes up every year for a family that doesn't go to the doctor. 25k before you get any benefit of having it.

@treywallace @Outkick Are coaches purposely tanking for a buyout or nah
English

Auburn has fired head coach Hugh Freeze.
Tigers will owe Freeze just over $15.5 million buyout, according to contract. D.J. Durkin is interim
Who will Auburn go after? First look should be Jon Sumrall.
How about a former Texas A&M or Penn State coach? outkick.com/sports/auburn-…
