This will be my last post on this platform. I am not deleting the profile, but I will no longer be active here. Find me through the Linktree in my bio, or scan the QR code to read a brief explanation at my Substack, Glory Days. Thank you for the friendship. It was a fun ride.

@pearsonjeff @d3bubble Not talking transfers and perhaps this does not occur in basketball. But the HS boys lacrosse player who no longer has a roster spot at Harvard or Syracuse or Georgetown is definitely going to a NESCAC-type school.

I crunched EADA data to see how many NCAA schools are "44 Percenters", campuses with 44% or greater athletes. In so doing, it provoked the larger question of whether we will see more DI institutions following the Univ. of Hartford and transition to DIII.

The @UNFOspreys MBB team beat Georgia Tech, its second W of the season over a P4 school. #swoop #basketballstate
This has never happened. Ever. Florida's FBS/FCS/NFL teams are a combined 0-11 on the same weekend. Only the Dolphins (tomorrow night) can save the state now. FBS: FAU, Florida, Miami, FSU, USF, UCF all lost. FCS: FAMU, Bethune and Stetson all lost. NFL: Jags and Bucs lost.

During the final days of Oct. schools added 20 sport programs, more than double the amount during the same time period in each of the last three years. Coincidence? Maybe. But it also has a certain "break glass in case of emergency" feel.

Lazy tweet that is not confirmed. In fact, an MLB player has another idea

A really strong argument can be made that Gilliam should have been on the 1952 Brooklyn team (he won the IL MVP that year with a .301/.411/.451 slash line). That would have been 8 World Series played. And, yet, Gilliam received exactly zero Hall of Fame votes.
As the WS begins tonight, a reminder that Gilliam played in 7 World Series, including 4 against the Yankees ('53,'55,'56,'63). From the @MLB World Series Media Guide, here is where Gilliam ranks among all-time World Series performers in Games, Walks, At Bats.
