@DKillers_IM @ACRM_755 @ChoppinBravos 9 mill this season isn’t expensive. Especially by today’s standards.

Yastrzemski has been so disappointing. I think he’s hit one ball hard so far this season.
So far a solid hitting LFer continues to elude the Atlanta Braves.

@RobertC10429060 @therandomsec @ArtLarr78824 Of the last 9 national champions, the only one to make it past the 2nd rd was UConn in their repeat season, then a 2nd rd exit last year. Next season will define golden more than an early exit this year. It’s not easy to follow up a national championship run.
English
@therandomsec @ArtLarr78824 He’s literally had one good year. He had a ton of talent this year and didn’t make it to the sweet 16. Kinda moronic to put him lo at 1 at this point

Now that it seems as we have all of our 2026 coaches locked, assuming no one jumps, here is my SEC basketball Head Coaching Rankings....
Thoughts? 🤔
English
@iAmNickWize As long as USF keeps building a solid foundation, they will start seeing those resources swing to BB. It wont be overnight but stick with it. Florida has made it work, why cant USF.
English
Such a bummer for USF. What makes providence more appealing is they do not have a football team, all of its resources go to basketball. At USF it’s football first, rightfully so.
Jon Rothstein@JonRothstein
Sources: South Florida's Bryan Hodgson is finalizing a deal to be the next head coach at Providence. Rhode Island is officially shark infested waters.
English
@Adamr0602 @iAmNickWize Just because it’s more successful doesn’t mean the most resources go there. Bulk of providence NIL budget goes to basketball. USFs goes to football. He will have a higher budget with providence to build and pay a roster.
English
@iAmNickWize There’s definitely an argument that the hoops team has had much more success than the football team…
Weird take
English
@t0thpick @IcewaterOlson Gainwell was much better than white last season. White had 6 more starts, 15 more carries and only 30 more yards with a worse YPC avg. Whites receiving totals were half Gainwell’s and 4 tds to gainwells 8. Gainwell had more tot yards (1,023) than any buc RB, as a backup.
English
@IcewaterOlson Good replacement but worse Otton is a non upgrade that were paying more for we didn’t address our biggest need pass rush and Evans left Dean left we upgraded in one area and then in multiple areas stayed the same or got worse
English
Don’t let the Mike Evans news distract you from the fact that the Bucs have had a really good first day of free agency.
Cade Otton
Alex Anzalone
Kenneth Gainwell
All good players!
English
@traviswbeach @BleedBNetwork Any fan who tells you they wouldn’t prefer a football title is lying. Especially schools who are traditional bball schools. Kentucky, unc, duke, UConn etc would all trade a bball title for a football title. Look at Indiana, Bball school but football made their enrollment explode
English
@BleedBNetwork Florida is just like Michigan & Alabama. No matter how much they win in basketball it will never top there football programs & how much people care or spend. Each one cares more about football recruiting than basketball, lol. That matters to some coaches, see BiilyD.
English
If you think Golden is leaving Florida. Or that Florida doesn't care about basketball and that Florida couldn't or wouldn't match UK or anyone else dollar for dollar. I have som beachfront property in Kansas I would like to show you.
Florida has been a better basketball program than Kentucky the past 25 years. That is an institutional issue and one to address. But to act like Florida is just a football school that doesn't care about winning at basketball is certainly a choice.
English
@turner_doug96 @ben_nick_syder @zuni____ @Schultz215Dan @JonRothstein Actually yes. 31 auto bids for conference winners, but I still think Texas should be in. They’re also a good team at home so the win was a good win. Sec also isn’t a bad conference. Might not be top heavy aside from Florida but plenty of really good teams that can make noise.
English
English
Florida earned its 9th Quad 1 win last night at Texas.
Only Duke, Michigan, and Arizona have more.
2 of the Gators' 3 remaining regular season games --- Arkansas and at Kentucky --- are in Quad 1 plus the SEC Tourney.
A clear path exists for a higher seed on Selection Sunday.
English
@CornellNFL Bucs fans every year “we never spend money on big name FAs and save our picks instead of making big trades”
Bring up a trade and “we can’t give that up or spend that money, we will have to pay our own guys next year and replenish in the draft!!”
English
Yeah man, let’s save the money, lose games, and tell Baker “don’t worry, we were very responsible for 2027.”
Cody Haynes@codyh33
Baker, Mauch, Kancey, and Diaby all hit FA in 2027. But hey, let’s give the raiders our first round pick and pay Crosby $30 million instead of taking care of our guys and filling more than one hole.

@Tom_Christmas_ @TomPelissero @seniorbowl @nflnetwork He is SEC and one of the best lol. The only two sec QBs on the roster are both starting.
English
Starting QBs for @seniorbowl:
National - Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia
American - LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier
Kickoff at 2:30 p.m. ET on @nflnetwork

@OhThePain81 @JennaLaineESPN McDaniel publicly stated he wouldn’t take a bad head coaching job, but you always take interviews.. I think most knew he would take a great OC job over the browns
English
@JennaLaineESPN Please tell me they at least bothered to ask him anyway?
Looks like a few OC candidates were also interviewing for HC jobs as well (McDaniel for instance).
English
The Bucs were the first team last year to request Nate Scheelhaase and interview him for their offensive coordinator position. They thought very highly of him. I’m told if it wasn’t Josh Grizzard, he was the guy. I circled back on him with the Bucs…they didn’t think he’d be available for their OC opening with the head coaching interest he was getting this year.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Buffalo Bills now have requested to interview Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for their head coach job, per source. Scheelhaase currently is interviewing in person for the Cleveland Browns head coach job, with the Bills now on deck.
English
@AVLdylan @HardenTheMVP @JennaLaineESPN Doesn’t Bowles pick his staff and licht just gives input and signs off on coaches?
English
English
The Buccaneers are bringing ex-Titans coach Brian Callahan back for a second interview for their offensive coordinator spot tomorrow, per sources. With Mike McDaniel off the market, Callahan, ex-Falcons OC Zac Robinson and Bengals OC Dan Pitcher are among those still in it.
English
@iAmNickWize @LeOslice1 Campbell is an offensive guy and wants his offense run by his OC. McDaniel wants control over an offense which makes the Bucs more attractive than lions and Philly.
English
@LeOslice1 Darlington just reported the Lions said he wasn’t a fit for their offense.
English
If you’re a Buccaneers fan and want Mike McDaniel you need a few things to happen.
- Pray he doesn’t get a head coaching job, it’s likely he does.
- Pray Saleh doesn’t get a HC job because if he does and McDaniel doesn’t, he will go with Robert.
If the 2 things above don’t happen, welcome to Tampa Bay Mike #WeAreTheKrewe
English
@JennaLaineESPN Going to most of the games, I don’t even think it’s a lack of Bucs fans attending, Bucs fans just seem to be much more subdued. I hear more Bucs fans yelling at others to sit down than actually cheering.
English
Re: Rachaad White’s comments about players being frustrated with opposing fans in the stands…it’s an issue in other markets too, but there are folks in places like Treasure Island still recovering from the hurricanes and still not back in their homes while paying rent elsewhere.
English
@NFLSTROUD McDaniel and aukerman coming together? 🤔. I’d take it lol.
English
Bucs interview Dolphins’ Craig Aukerman for special teams opening tampabay.com/sports/bucs/20…
English
@JKBallin55 @JennaLaineESPN That’s why I said if there’s a trend. If you sell a couple times it’s not flagged but if you sell every game they will discontinue your tickets. It happened to a well known lions super fan who sold his to upgrade each game and they revoked them. Story made national news.
English
@dave_060 @JennaLaineESPN I dont disagree with that. Shit happens and sometimes plans change. It seems like people are either buying tickets and selling them all. I’m sure there are season ticket holders out there who have never even met the real owners of the seats around them
English
It’s a transplant market and that makes it a challenge for sure. A few years ago, the Bucs and other teams started to send letters to season ticket holders suspected of re-selling their tickets too many times to try and combat this. It resulted in a class action lawsuit from a few of the fans. I also know some fans who will only sell to Bucs fans.
Starbys@sappy69
@JennaLaineESPN I've been in Tampa my whole life...Tampa is always much worse with the opposing fans. It's embarrassing.
English
@JennaLaineESPN I assume this isn’t something we can do when selling through our account in the Bucs app and have to personally seek out a buyer we know that’s a fan?
English
@JKBallin55 @JennaLaineESPN They will do this if they see a trend of you selling too often, but they can’t do it for just selling occasionally, if something comes up and you can’t make it you should be able to sell them.
English
@JennaLaineESPN They should just do what soccer teams do, if you are caught selling your tickets, they revoke your entire season tickets and ban you from getting tickets again. Put it in the contract you sign when you purchase the tickets
