EYE OF THE HURRICANE 🌀 🏴‍☠️

Teams board their private jets today for Omaha to begin the College World Series.

The US Men’s National Team (soccer) laid an absolute egg last night against Switzerland. How are we expected to be a host country to the world’s sport when we cannot even score goals, much less win exhibition games in our own country. The USMNT has less than 12 months to make a 180 degree cultural change. It is only then that they can then focus on their opponents. They’ve tried it “their” way and those are the results. I guess FIFA knew what it was doing by putting Mexico as “Group A’s” representative (and, yes, they host some of the tournament as well. This has become such a eye-sore/joke/embarrassment.

COLLEGE GAME DAY WEEK 1 LOCATION ANNOUNCED 🏈 🏫

Lee Corso retirement send off! For over three decades the Sunshine Scooter has been the center of the College GameDay universe. His headgear picks, not only have gone viral, but are a last legacy to the world of college football. Tuesday, ESPN announced the location of Week 1’s College GameDay - Columbus, Ohio.

Texas at Ohio State. More than likely will be pre-season #1 vs. pre-season #2. And, Corso has worn the Brutus buckeye head more than any other mascot head, so there could be some symmetry there as well. Though, the game is broadcasted by Fox so the argument could have been made to return to his alma mater and hype the Alabama at Florida State game or preview the ABC primetime game - LSU at Clemson.
