Not sure if anyone else feels like the drop offs in college gymnastics are huge.
Oklahoma is so far above the rest of the competition its incredible. Their consistency and difficulty are crazy. Every routine is so clean. Yet as a primarily elite fan they don't get tons of big names like UCLA or Florida.
I suppose I am struggling to watch college gymnastics this year because it seems like the gaps are growing. There is another drop after like 4/5 and the difference between 10 and 20 is ridiculous. I feel like most collegiate sports aren't quite this predictable and can't put my finger on why this year seems worse. The rule changes maybe?
Hits all the sweetspots for that show. So many Waiters Awards and Peak Perfrormance possibilities. That is all.
I know everyone has an elite team in the real marble league that we support wholeheartedly, and most may think to just mention them here. We all have our biases, and that's a good thing. But not what the question is asking.
Instead, imagine the following scenario:
Jelle, the creative mastermind behind every year's best sport, makes a side league to the marble league where all the events and teams are fan picked, a thread opens up where you can list:
-
The desired colour scheme. (Imagine every possible marble exists, and be as creative as you wish.)
-
Name.
-
And all the individual squad members, with their unique take on the colour scheme.
What would be your suggestion?
Warning: keep it classy and non offensive though, as we all know how professional and legitimate the marble racing scene is and we don't need people to ruin it.
James Harden: Is currently averaging just over 38 points per game, which goes back to Wilt Chamberlain days if you wanted to compare it to another player's scoring year. Yes, Wilt himself was the only player to average that much. Wilt averaged 38 or more points per game 4 times, but nobody else has done that since him, in 1964-65, which was 54 years ago.
LeBron James: The man with no body clock. Time doesn't seem to affect him the way it affects other players when they reach his age. He is currently averaging just over 25 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists in his 17th NBA year. He has come a long way and doesn't seem to want to stop. He truly is becoming the Tom Brady of the NBA if he keeps this efficiency up.
Giannis Antetokounmpo: The reigning MVP, the NBA Olympian himself is averaging just shy of 31 points per game while also adding 13.2 boards and 5.5 assists on a nightly basis. There are few words to describe how special he is and how he glues our eyes to the screen when he plays, because you wouldn't want to miss a Bucks game when Giannis is in the zone.
Luka DoΔiΔ: The "Coold Hands" from Slovenia took the NBA by storm last season by posting one of the greatest rookie years in the history of NBA basketball at the age of 19-20. He is currently just shy of averaging a triple double while also scoring 30 points per game or more. Adding to that he racks in just under 10 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game while making the game look simple. The future is bright for this young man and the only way to go is up.
Anthony Davis: The second half of the Lakers duo, the Unibrow isn't holding back this year, trying to make a statement that he does indeed deserve to be in Los Angeles and be revered as one of the great NBA players this year. He is scoring over 27 points per game while also adding 9.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.6 blocks.
Notable great players who aren't in the top 5 right now but are not far behind: Kemba Walker, Pascal Siakam, Kawhi Leonard.

Just something to think about before you advocate taking on Wall's crappy contract or taking on a declining and inefficient star like Westbrook. I don't think Beal/Butler is enough, and I don't think Westbrook/Butler is enough. Maybe a Westbrook trade would still leave them enough space to get a 3rd star in 2021. The Wall/Beal deal would not and is a terrible and short-sighted idea.
I highly doubt we could get Westbrook without dealing BOTH Winslow and Bam. We have little else of value to deal, no picks to trade, and I do think there will be a market for him, with other teams able to offer multiple picks. I'm not sure Bam/Winslow would even be enough. Consider what they just got.
Hi, I'm Jon Lovitz. Most of you know me by my stage name, "JLO." You probably have seen me at some point on SNL, The Critic, or in a movie like A League of Their Own, The Wedding Singer or Rat Race. I have a comedy club at Universal City Walk in Los Angeles, and I also have a vodcast. I'm also working to make Comedy Dreams Come True to help comedians get their first big break.
Go ahead and ask me anything!

Well thank you everyone for all the comments, all the nice compliments, I really appreciate it. It was fun talking to all of you. I hope I answered your questions ok! Please check out my FundAnything campaign if you're interested, we have great rewards: http://fundanything.com/JLO?locale=en and thank you again!
At the end of the movie Dottie is playing against her sister Kit because Kit was trained to another team after Kit feels like she is in her sister's shadow.
It comes down to Kit running for home to score the winning run but her Sister Dottie gets the ball but has not tagg d homeplate. Kit runs in and knocks Dottie over and the ball comes out of her hand thus Kit's team wins.
Now this has been a controversy in my family for the past 27 years: Did Dottie release the ball so her sister would win or did she try her best but lost the ball anyway?
As mentioned in the title, if you have raw numbers (to an estimate of course) and proof is always nice. Things like a thriving playerbase, geographical locale etc are a definite given. I just want roughly accurate estimates.
Here is an article we did covering Trulieve. We think they are in a great spot. But the capital market mechanics put them in a uniquely special position. We also get into the FBI stuff a bit. Enjoy!
Every remaining match can be played out till the seasonβs completed and broadcast live on Twitch.
There are plenty of great rivalries in college football, and I won't try to argue that this one is better than the Iron Bowl, or The Game, or The Red River Shootout Showdown, or any of the great historical matchups. BUT, I will argue that this rivalry game has something that no other game has: proximity. The two campuses are across the street from each other in the small town of Arkadelphia, Arkansas. If you are a decent golfer (I'm not), you could hit a five-iron from one stadium to the other.
This game is tied as the oldest rivalry matchup in Division II, with the first official game being played in 1907. It has been a remarkably even series, with Ouachita winning the last four games to take a 44-43-6 lead all-time. As you might expect, with such a competitive history and such easy access to the rival's campus by students from both schools, there is a LONG tradition of pranks - most harmless, some less so - during the week leading up to the game. In 1978, Henderson State aviation student airdropped thousands of red-painted marshmallows on the Ouachita campus. Henderson State students usually have a massive bonfire at their pep rally, and notable Ouachita alum Mike Huckabee once snuck over and set fire to it the night before the pep rally. Ouachita's homecoming queen was kidnapped by HSU students that she was friendly with from their days together at Arkadelphia High School. I once got a stern talking to by the local police department (who are always on high alert for this week) after attempting to cover the Henderson State bridge sign with purple tablecloths. It.... might have not been the most well-thought-out plan.
The Battle of the Ravine game this season should be another good one. Henderson State is 9-1 and playing for a share of the conference championship. Defending conference champion Ouachita is 8-2 and while a championship seems out of reach, there is still an outside shot at reaching the playoffs. Besides, denying HSU a conference championship is more than enough motivation on its own. Either way, just before noon on Saturday, state troopers will block traffic on Highway 67, and the Henderson State Reddies will march across the street to do battle with the Ouachita Baptist Tigers in front of a crowd that will likely exceed the total population of Arkadelphia. Go Tigers!
