There is zero chance Dan Hurley leaves UConn for the Lakers

There's zero chance he goes to the Lakers. The hype video tomorrow is going to be a crazy 'I'm not fucking leaving'. He's a man of theater and he's very good at it.

Dan Hurley did indeed turn down the Lakers to stay at UConn later that same day.

Vanny Woodhead will be up and running by July 4th

Vanny will be up and running by July 4th. My first step is trying to make some, some marketing and some sales packaging so that we can get some money into Vanny Woodhead.

July 4th, 2024 passed without the van being operational. Repairs are still ongoing.

The LIV Tour will eventually do for golf what Tiger Woods did in the late 90s

You just give the live tour three years. And I predict that every kid, every young kid across America, it's gonna do for golf what Tiger Woods did for golf in 19 98, 19 99. It's gonna be a phenomenon.

While LIV merged with the PGA Tour in a sense, it hasn't created a 'Tiger-level' youth phenomenon, and its popularity remains contentious.

Tiger Woods could still win one more major despite his ankle surgery

Even after I just said that it felt dirty and it's like, I'm actually already back to maybe he could win one more because he is Tiger Woods... I'm going to erase my retroactive take and then stick with my original take that he could win one more.

Tiger has not won a major since this take. His health continues to be a major obstacle.

Big Cat will pay for a Twitter Blue checkmark within two weeks

I put the over under on Big Cat getting a blue check. Two weeks.

Big Cat remained unverified for several months as a bit before eventually getting a checkmark (which Elon Musk later gifted to many high-follower accounts for free anyway). He did not pay within two weeks.

Clemson at 16-to-1 is a great value bet to make the College Football Playoff

A future that I had my eyes on: Clemson at 16 to one to win the national title. I don't think they're gonna win the national title. I think they're gonna be in the playoff though. I think Clemson is sneaky a little bit back. DJ Uiagalelei is playing well... they've played the two toughest teams in Wake Forest and NC State and the ACC.

Clemson finished the regular season 11-2 and missed the College Football Playoff in 2022.

James Madison University will be ranked in the Top 25 if they are undefeated heading into the Marshall game

They should be wins [Arkansas State/Georgia State]. And then they got Marshall at home. They will be ranked at least 23 if they go into that game... It's pretty crazy the fact that they, this is their first year as a big boy program and they're undefeated.

JMU actually entered the AP Poll at #25 on October 9th (after beating Arkansas State) but lost to Georgia Southern before the Marshall game.

Every college football program is going to attempt to reach herd immunity to ensure the season happens

Pretty much every football program is having is going to go for herd immunity and it's good at we're gonna have a football season that just every team that already got it out of the way.

While many players did contract COVID, 'herd immunity' was never an official or confirmed athletic department policy; seasons were managed through testing and distancing.

I'm nervous that the 2020 NFL season might actually be cancelled or pushed back

I've reached the point where it started to hit me that football season might get [cancelled]. Okay, and yeah now it's real.

The season was not cancelled; it started on time in September 2020.

I will get in great shape during quarantine by walking around Brooklyn in an 80-pound weight vest

You guys right now are looking at the guy who just purchased an 80-pound weight vest. So I'm going to get back in shape. I'm gonna start walking around Brooklyn with a weight vest... I'll be walking around like Zion.

Big Cat did not famously transform his physique via an 80-pound weight vest during 2020.

The next Hard Knocks episode will be a massive disappointment because the Raiders won't show the real drama

None of this is going to be on Hard Knocks. Because the Raiders aren't going to fucking let it on Hard Knocks. It's going to be the most disappointing Hard Knocks on Tuesday night. They will touch on it, sure, but we will not see Antonio Brown trying to sneak in with a bad helmet... and it will be so fucking disappointing.

The episode did end up addressing the helmet issue, though largely from Gruden's perspective, making this partially correct regarding the 'sanitized' nature.

The Knicks traded Porzingis for cap space they will definitely fail to use

The Knicks traded Kristaps to the Mavs... Basically, a cap space move... they are now going to try to go all in on Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, name any free agent, and the Knicks will be rumored to get them. And they won't get them because James Dolan is still the owner.

The Knicks famously failed to sign Durant or Irving in the 2019 offseason; both went to the Brooklyn Nets.

NFL ratings will be insane this season despite hater predictions

All you fucking haters out there who say the NFL... Guess what? The NFL's back, and there's a shitload of us watching it. We love it... Ratings are going to be insane.

The 2018 NFL season saw a 5% increase in viewership, reversing a two-year decline, validating Big Cat's prediction.

Marquette King is quitting the NFL to join Barstool Sports

Marquette King actually did a little bit of flirting with joining Barstool earlier today... he put up the peace sign on Twitter, meaning he was quitting to join Barstool Sports. Heard it here first.

Marquette King did not quit the NFL for Barstool in 2017; he played for the Raiders and Broncos before eventually having a short-lived media partnership much later.

I will enter a zone and eat 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes at the Nathan's contest

Leicester City, 1,500 to 1 odds. Just saying, things happen. Maybe I just get in a zone and I eat 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Big Cat did not eat 75 hot dogs; he ate around 10 hot dogs in the actual 2016 contest.
