Mickelson will have a Hoch/Norman/Van de Velde combo loss at the 2028 US Open where he loses in a playoff to a guy who had to eagle the 72nd just to force the playoff.

Last year's Masters put him above Mickelson for me. Rory easily could've folded like Mickelson did at the 2006 US Open, but he came through in the playoff.
re: So, is it kinda true the SEC was cheating way more than anyone else pre NIL?
Posted by karmew32 on 4/7/26 at 10:40 am to lsupride87
Nope. Just Bama. Every other SEC school played by the rules, especially LSU.
What? The blue bloods love UConn. Duke/UNC/Kansas/Kentucky fans are the only neutrals who want UConn to win it all. Those 5 fanbases always stick together.

Lamont Butler buzzer-beater to advance SDSU to the natty over FAU in 2023. Considering where NIL has the state of the sport headed, probably the highest-stakes game that will ever be played between two mid-majors.
I was never really into the cards, but loved the first 4 generations growing up, games and anime. I'm 29 going on 30 so Gen 2 was the newest generation when I became cognizant enough to truly experience the series.
I recently got back into the series with Scarlet & Violet (I played the latter) on the Switch 2. From what I've read, it's a much better experience than on the original switch. It made me feel like I was a kid again. Also, finding shinies is relatively easy in that game due to the high quantity of spawns and the ability to pick & choose your battles. Plus the QOL updates that weren't there in my childhood games, like Exp. Candies.
I played through the main story of Legends: ZA as well but haven't gotten to the DLC yet really.

Not if the NCAA forces Pitino to Kansas or UNC.

Blue bloods like Duke love scrappy games. The way to beat Duke is to force them into a beauty pageant, not a street fight. Same goes for beating UConn.
re: Better upset chance, SJU over Duke or Arkansas over Arizona?
Posted by karmew32 on 3/23/26 at 9:23 am to GeneralLee
Arkansas over Arizona.
SJU over Duke is the better chance on paper due to Duke missing Foster, but there's just a blue blood mystique that makes teams unable to close them out.

I feel like NIL has increased the parity in college football but decreased it in college basketball.
Gut feeling is Duke-UNC-Villanova-Kentucky F4. I always expect the worst possible result.

I hope so. Rooting for Graves.
My pick is Kansas if they end up in Arizona or Michigan's bracket. Blue bloods always find a way.
I'm pretty sure Bama would give up one of their Saban titles for a basketball championship.

Nah, Gen X is kinda lame. We just think it’s silly being lumped in with people born in the mid 90s who don’t remember a world without pervasive home internet and barely remember a world without the smartphone.
1996 born here. The home internet of our childhoods was way different than the home internet of today. We used it to play intellectually stimulating games and browse a vast array of websites. These were the days where social media megasites were the norm. It was the wild west. It developed our minds, not poisoned them.

The fallout from Oklahoma State losing to Iowa State is what ended the golden age of college football.

re: When did it dawn on you that Indiana was like legit legit?

It's brand name bias. If Kentucky had a similar miraculous rise as Indiana, people would still expect a mid Ohio State squad to crush them in the Sugar Bowl.
Pretty much the same. I still expected Bama or Miami to beat them even though Indiana was clearly better than both because I figured the sports gods would come up with some contrived way to keep us from having nice things.
LIII was the worst. Not playing Sweet Victory will always be the biggest fumble in Super Bowl halftime history.
