Buy all your Dayton stock because they have been unbelievable this season

College basketball obviously has been awesome. Dayton, by the way, buy all your Dayton stock because they have been unbelievable. They have like a weird fanbase... but here's me saying something nice about Dayton. Buy all your stock.

Dayton finished the season 29-2 and was a projected #1 seed before the postseason was cancelled.

You only learn a commissioner's name if they have fucked up

If you learn a commissioner's name it's because they fucked up at some point. It's like learning the name of an offensive lineman or a referee in football.

This is an opinion about public perception, though Manfred's name recognition certainly spiked due to his handling of the Astros scandal.

Alex Bregman's comment about getting beaned will bite him during the 2020 season

Alex Bregman said his favorite unwritten rule is the rules that get you beaned with fastballs when you deserve it. So that sucks for Alex Bregman that he had that quote. That's a tough quote hate to see it to now have an entire career facing an entire season.

Alex Bregman was hit by 8 pitches in the shortened 2020 season, which was a high rate but not necessarily a career-high (he was hit 9 times in 155 games in 2019). However, he and the Astros faced significant hostility.

The Bengals ownership does not care about winning a Super Bowl

The Bengals—people forget Carson Palmer was ready to retire from the Cincinnati Bengals instead of playing for them. This is a franchise that is not committed to winning. Their ownership does not care about winning a Super Bowl; they just want to be NFL owners, sell some tickets, and maybe go to the playoffs every couple of years.

The Bengals reached the Super Bowl in the 2021 season, largely contradicting the idea they 'don't want to win' once they drafted Joe Burrow.

Kevin Willard's joke about firing his staff was funny and shouldn't have been taken seriously

It was such a clear joke and people, I couldn't believe... There were people who actually thought he was being serious. I thought it was a funny joke. And then we had the people trying to cover for themselves being like, well, even if it was a joke, that's not a joke you make. Imagine if you're an assistant and you hear your boss say that.

Whether a joke is funny or appropriate is subjective.

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical

Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.

This is an analytical opinion on sports trends that can't be definitively proven right or wrong.

The Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well

Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa have some pretty big fan bases that are all gonna wanna travel, especially Nebraska... I don't think it's gonna be like they're gonna take over the place, but I don't think it's gonna be 80% Houston at this game.

The attendance split of the Sweet 16 regional in Houston will determine this.
