Last note from me before I shift into vacation mode:
I found a way to write a hockey story. In Northeast Mississippi. More than just a few words on the Tupelo T-Rex, gone but not forgotten

Noticed that the

I'm seeing Wayne Gretzky trending, and it just reminds me how much easier it is to be a hockey fan when it comes to GOAT conversations. Everyone says Gretzky, nods their heads in agreement and moves on.

I think a lot of the time the phrase "student-journalist" is used to diminish the work that student-journos do when in reality they're just working as journalists who happen to be taking classes at the same time.
Where’s the outrage mob now that
@petitus25
’s report is confirmed by others? The notion that reporting done by journalists at student newspapers lacks credibility is disrespectful to all the reporters like Payton whose work deserves nothing but praise

Decided to break down how EPA shakes out for Power 5 QBs by play type. Of note:
-Shedeur Sanders has by far the most negative EPA on sacks but also the second-best EPA on non-TD pass receptions
-Jayden Daniels' rushing production is unmatched
-Tight Heisman race

The lack of flips today should not change the fact that Florida's signing class so far is still pretty good with a few open spots for February and transfers. Just gotta patch up the RB/WR position.

Coastal Carolina is lapping the field this year in EPA per pass by a hilarious amount.
Everything about the Chanticleers just seems like something out of the NCAA video games between the lax schedule and their incredibly chaotic offense.

I worked with Kyle and

in college. They're two of the best writers I've worked with and even better people who deserve much better than what's been going on at SI.
And I'm not just saying this because one of them still keeps me in their Twitter header.
Writing at SI has always been a dream of mine and I'm happy to say I saw it through with the help of so many people. When this 90-day countdown is up, I want to stay in sports media — writing, reporting, editing — and I'm open to all opportunities to do so: kylefwood1
