Any Jeff hcs?? (Your art is absolutely amazing)

i make him evil. ok jk but also im serious. im mostly just gonna cover his backstory in my au, rather than his current part in it.

cw for brief mentions of animal abuse, bullying, the usual. AGAIN THIS IS FOR MY AU !! also tysm :3..

liu is about 4-6 years older than jeff. they lived somewhere in the midwest until jeff was about 10.

they were both raised by incredibly good parents and had a very strong support system, always visiting their grandparents, big christmas every year, parents always go to open house/parent-teacher conferences, etc. tried getting their kids into sports, would go to every game, literally just the stereotypical great parent. not even a secret "ooo behind closed doors they r actually abusive...!" thing theyre literally just good.

jeff was always a bit more on the aggressive side, something they especially noticed when he was 5 and could not be left alone with a single fucking pet. he'd yank at and shake anything small enough to pick up, and punch and kick anything too big to pick up. every family pet was scared of him.

even at school, he was a bully - it started as typical grade school shit, putting gum in girls hairs, stealing peoples belongings, pushing kids off the play structures. he targeted girls especially. he's been warned, suspended, expelled - but his dad got a job offer in the east coast that they couldnt really ignore

he was 12 when he started harassing a girl, following her around the playground, calling her a slut, yanking her hair, spitting on her, etc - and eventually, her brother and his friends stepped in.

thiiis is where i wanted to put randy and his friends in. theyre older kids, around 14 and still more on the mean side, but they didn't just randomly target jeff for fun bc he's "the new kid". just like jeff harassed that girl, they began harassing him - but of course with the strength of 3 teenage boys, rather than an 12 yr old. liu would interfere when he could, but he was still a student and began working his first job by this point.

jeff got into physical fights with them for weeks, but he was quick to turn it into something bloody and brought a pocket knife. this time the fight occurred in front of jeffs house, when his parents were at work, and liu ended up running out to make them cut it out. he tried to grab the knife out of jeffs hands, he tried to stop his brother, but jeff was serious about what he wanted - and he wanted to fucking stab randy

so he did, right in the stomach. it was nothing fatal.

liu took the fall, being 16 and terrified of what could happen to jeff if he landed himself in juvenile hall - the other 3 boys were content with this, knowing it meant jeff really didn't have anyone to defend him by this point. thinking it would fuck with jeff even more . . BUT JEFFS A LITTLE SHIT he doesnt fucking careee . something about "i never asked him to take the blame that shits on him" or whatnot.

but obv once randy recovered fully it got worse. it went from schoolyard level harassment to borderline stalking, robbing him, holding him down so randy could fucking stomp on him, so on and so forth.

and eventually the bleach happened, and the fire happened, and it didn't really have anything special or involve a birthday party or whatever . it was just another insane fucking attack on jeff, although randy and them didn't exactly expect the fire to spread so fucking quickly - they just splashed some gas at his feet, threw a match, though it would scare him and maybe fuck up his pants. really did NOT think that shit through

jeff recovered in the hospital, and the trio decided to leave him alone. they were little shits who took it too far, but they werent trying to do all that. jeff didnt snitch, he didnt want them to get put away . he wanted to keep going, obviously

things settled down for a while. jeff was waiting and waiting and waiting. his parents were mortified, they rarely spoke to him now. required family dinners at the dining table turned to just his parents eating together, liu in juvie and jeff in his room. jeff began getting violent towards his parents as well, especially his mom - he started spiraling after the fire, especially since the trio weren't bothering him anymore and it was driving him nuts. he would do freaky shit, showing up at their houses now, shattering their windows, killing their pets. they'd come and beat his ass, and he'd do it again. nobody wanted to get their parents involved by this point, they all did too much shit - but jeff was getting UNBEARABLE

jeff eventually was around 15 or so, liu was out of juvie and 19 and in community college bc he couldnt get into any of the universities he was dreaming about.

liu wasnt nice to jeff anymore. he wasn't "hardened" by his experience in juvie or anything, but whatever he saw in jeff was NOT his little brother anymore - if jeff spoke to him, he'd ignore him. if jeff got too close, he'd shove him off. if jeff slapped their mother, liu would punch him.

liu thinks it was bound to happen. he misses his little brother, even when he was a mean little kid - but he always knew there was something realy, really fucking wrong with jeff, and when he woke up to jeff on top of him, stabbing into him , he knew it was inevitable.

liu survived, the only one in his family to do so. he wondered what he could've done to stop it, especially as other kids began showing up in the news. he wonders if he shouldve just let jeff go to juvie. he's kinda shocked at the fucked up ass police sketches that pop up, he didn't really remember seeing that damn smile when jeff was on him

jeff continues fucking shit up and is a piece of shit all around

this is already pretty long so if anyone wants a less "backstory" version of headcanons and more current stuff just lmk ;3

Babe can you explain what conferences are and like what they do? I got queer-baited into basketball so im new here 😔

i’m not sure what you mean by conferences but i���m pretty sure you’re talking abt teams and stuff in the league or in college. i’m 99% sure there’s conferences in every sport but in pro sports it’s separated by coasts i’m pretty sure, like in the wnba it’s east and west. in college sports, the conferences basically help coaches create like a basic schedule so they’re not traveling all over the place all the time because there’s colleges everywhere all over america, most of the teams in a certain conference will be in a certain area (ex: most of the big 10 teams are in the midwest, most of the sec teams are in the south, etc). during the regular season a team’s games are pretty much made up of in conference games and they play those teams consistently like you’ll see the same teams from a certain conference play each other 2-4 times in the regular season (including in the conference tournament) and they fill the rest of the schedule with non-conference games.

;; I Found Chapter Five of Alone With You Dedicated to @miracleonice87

Table of Contents Chapter Four «« 🏙️ »» Playlist

Summary: Anthony returns to New York City for the first time since he played against the Islanders as a member of the Vancouver Canucks. He is there to support them as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but he is also left to worry about having to tell Mat the news... Word Count: 2151

New York. 

The regular season could only end as well as Anthony could have expected it to for a struggling franchise. While the Canucks had gone on to win 16 of their last 23 games, they had finished 6th in the conference - and 22nd in the league. Even with the Canucks failing to clinch a playoff birth, Anthony was coming off a career-high in points at 40 - a high he hoped to best come the 2023-2024 season with the time and dedication he would give to his training, but the post-season came first, even if he wasn’t playing in it. 

The New York Islanders had secured the wildcard spot for the Metropolitan division. While it was bittersweet to have to sit back and watch the team that had traded him make their playoff push, Anthony and Dani had caught a flight to the East Coast to cheer on Mat - but that didn’t come without its anxieties. By every definition of the word, Anthony and Dani had been dating for two months.  And not once had either of them mentioned it to her brother. 

Their relationship wasn’t something they were trying to keep secret, her parents and her sister already knew - but Mat deserved more than just a phone call. Anthony respected him too much for that. It was news that he needed to hear in person, and that was something the entire family supported - even as they settled into the suite together. 

They were all dressed in blue and orange, and those who wore jerseys proudly wore BARZAL on their backs, while he had opted to wear nothing more than a white t-shirt that left him feeling lost in the crowd. It wasn’t long ago that UBS Arena had been his home away from home. But now the Islanders were set to take on the Carolina Hurricanes - down 2-0 in the series - without him, it only added to the heavy, anxious feeling in his chest as he sat down and took in the ice from a vantage point he had only really got to experience while injured. 

It was a sea of blue and orange - the occasional blemish of red and black among them washed away by the names on the backs of the Islander’s fans. The names Barzal, Lee, Martin, and Horvat were all on the backs of many, and even his name was still among them, but not even that could put him at ease. His heart continued to hammer in his chest, and her hands were slick with a nervous sweat that he was left to wipe down the length of his jeans, trying to get rid of the dampness, before his sister arrived. 

It wasn’t like Estelle to be late, especially for one of their games. Anthony had expected her to greet them at their seats, but as he looked around the suite, she was nowhere to be found. 

Anthony abandoned his seat and moved back towards the door of the suite. He stood just off to the side to stay out of the way of the service staff. Then, the moment his eyes fell on his baby sister - and before she could even think about taking off her coat - his arms were around her in a death grip of a hug. 

“About time you showed up,” he sighed as he gripped her coat and rested his cheek against the top of her head, “had me thinking I would have to drive out to Brooklyn to get you.”

Estelle was silent as he drew back, her eyes on the ground as she tugged off her coat to show off the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs t-shirt. It would have looked like she had just picked it up from the store if he hadn’t looked wrinkled from a few days of wear - and if it hadn’t looked almost two sizes too big on her. Estelle had tucked the shirt into her jeans. If it hadn’t been, she would have been swimming in it. Anthony could have sworn it was a player-issued shirt. But any clear indication of that was concealed by her oversized cardigan sweater.

When she finally spoke, Estelle looked up at him with her sweet smile, “I always make it when you invite me, Tito. When had I ever missed a game when you played here?”

“Not a single one.”

“Exactly, now come on, it’s puck drop!”

“Actually, Stell, I wanted to” Before Anthony could finish, Estelle was cutting in. 

“Not now, Tito! The game-” she pointed down to the ice with such excitement he had never seen for him, though he hadn’t watched a game with her since they were children. He had always been out on the ice. “-and Dani! Liana!”

The excitement of seeing Mat’s sisters almost had Anthony laughing. That was the very thing he wanted to talk to her about. Anthony wanted to tell her about his relationship with Dani. He was sure it would go over well enough. The two of them always seemed to get along even if they didn’t have much in common - but it could wait until the end of the period at the very least. 

Leaving the seat he had once claimed and had since been overtaken by Estelle as she spoke with Dani, Anthony lingered at the back of the suite at one of the cocktail tables. His gaze shifted from the television on the wall to the ice below and finally to his sister and Dani as they quickly fell into the excitement of a playoff game. If the two of them only had one thing in common, it was their devotion to their family and the game, and he couldn’t help but smile at the sight of them both cheering together as the teams battled it out period after period. 

After a scoreless first period, both teams secured their first goals of the game in the second. Cizikas scored first for the Islanders and Fast 4 minutes later for the Hurricanes. 

The 1-1 game left fans on edge going into the second intermission, Anthony included but for different reasons. He wanted to be able to sit down next to Dani. To drape his arm around her narrow shoulders and pull her in close. To enjoy the game together instead of across the room from one another to keep his own hands at bay. He hoped that the intermission would give him the time he needed to speak with Estelle, but she was captivated by one thing or another.  She was constantly doing something - anything to avoid Anthony as he made his way to sit beside her with the hopes of being able to talk to her. But it was Dani who was stealing her attention now. 

She had just returned from getting a few beers, carrying one in each hand as she came to stand just behind his seat. He could feel Dani brace herself against the back of his chair as she reached around him carefully, her arm grazing his as she leaned in and offered him a beer. And when he had taken it from her, she straightened up and let her hand that once rested on the back of his chair travel up. Her hand lingered on the back of his neck, the tips of her nails dragging over his skin as she spoke, “When does the jacket come in?”

Anthony’s head snapped to the side, looking at Dani from the corner of his eye as confusion took his features. Jacket? What Jacket? His eyes followed her stare to Estelle, who sat in her seat, her face mirroring the same expression as his own. 

“I’m sorry. What are you asking?” Estelle countered her question with one of her own, sending both women into silence as they shared a look Anthony couldn’t quite identify. He would have to ask Dani about it later - but first, the third period. 

With goals from Palmeri, Martin Mayfield and Lee, the Islander took the game and brought the series to 2-1. The atmosphere in the arena was electric and reminded Anthony of the two times the team had gone to the Conference finals together. If they could persevere and take the series, they could have another great run ahead of them, and he would be there every step of the way with Dani for Mat - not as his teammate, but as his friend. 

The Barzals, Anthony, and Estelle remained in their seats until the arena cleared. Then together, they made their way down into the depths of UBS Arena and to the locker rooms. Anthony followed at the back of the pack with Estelle, his eye on the floor as he heard the cheers of celebration in the distance. It was almost enough to have him retreating to wait outside, especially when it paired with the worry that lingered deep in his gut. This was the first time Anthony was seeing Mat since he started dating Dani. He had to tell him before they left the arena that night, or else there came the risk of Mat discovering it on his own. That was the last thing Anthony wanted. 

Yet, he continued to linger as Mat came out of the locker room wearing his suit and a grin. He welcomed his family with an embrace. His arms enveloped his mother, father, Dani and Liana before he found him. 

“Hey, man,” Mat greeted, the two of them sharing their own hug. 

They were supposed to go to dinner after the game, but Anthony was sure those plans would change. Before Mat could fully pull back from the embrace, Anthony put the night of celebration and relaxation in jeopardy.  “As the risk of ruining the night, I’ve gotta tell you something.”

There was a seriousness in his words, one that sent a chill through his own body. He hated putting his friendship in jeopardy like this. There was a risk of throwing so much away for Dani, but she was worth it in every way. He just hoped Mat would understand as he stood across from him with his brow quirked up in curiosity as if to say: what could ruin seeing my sister and best friend for the first time in months? 

His heart jumped up into his throat, the nerves almost getting the best of him before he looked back to Dani. She met his stare, her head cocking to the side and her smile small. He hated that look, the one that told him that she was willing to tell her brother if it was too difficult for him. But he knew that this was something he needed to do himself. Mat needed to hear it from him, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want her support. Reaching back, Anthony took hold of Dani’s hand, and in an instant, he found his courage, his resolve. 

With Dani by his side, there was no more beating around the bush. He needed to be forward, direct, and firm with his words. He needed to tell Mat what had been going on in Vancouver, to convey just how serious things were - that their relationship wasn’t just a fling forced by proximity and convenience when, in reality, it had been years in the making. “Dani and I, we’ve been seeing each other-”

He had meant to continue, but Mat’s expression left Anthony choking on his words. Mat’s eyes had gone wide with surprise, but the rest of his features hadn’t hardened with the anger he had been expecting. No, Mat was smiling as his hand raised to run over his jaw and up to rub the back of his neck almost nervously - and he was almost laughing as he cast his glance away from Anthony. Whoever Mat was looking for, Anthony didn’t look away from Mat to find out. He was still too nervous to look away from Mat,  thinking  Mat could throw a punch at him at any moment. 

“You’re not mad?” Anthony spoke slowly, trying to gain some clarity. 

“No, I- ah-” Mat was hesitant with his words as his hand continued to linger on the back of his neck, “I can’t be.” 

Relief consumed Anthony. Was his relationship with Dani something that was only a matter of time? Something that everyone else had seen coming before the two of them had let themselves realize it, but Mat’s gaze had failed to return to him. He had something more to say. Anthony’s brow furrowed, leaning in quizzically before following Mat’s eyes. His stare traced back to Estelle, who stood with her lips parted with her own display of shock and her stare locked on Mat. As if Estelle’s stare hadn’t said it all, Mat’s words confirmed it for him, “I can’t be mad because I’ve been dating Estelle-”

i never remember . how hard it is to be an east coast girlie with western conference favs. until there's a game at 10 pm

[freebooter4ever]

If you weren't actually meaning to open a convo on the all star game feel free to ignore this!

But I think it just has a lot to do with how the all star weekend involves a ton of media so even if they enjoy the game/events themselves there's a lot of strings attached. Like all your coworkers are posting vacation photos, and you may have even been on vacation with them, but you had to cut yours short to work. Sure the office is also throwing a party but it just isn't quite the same as having those days off.

lol!!! Well its not really a discussion on my part because i will just never be able to understand the player's perspective, but i find it fascinating to hear explanations of why the players dont like it - partially because i wonder if the league was a little more "hip", if it could be salvaged.

For one thing, for some of us salary challenged people 'vacation' is not really a thing - i always used my time off to go home and visit my grandparents. Though quite honestly i'd rather hang out with grandma for five days doing nothing but puzzles than sit on a beach doing nothing for five days. When i lived and worked on the east coast i spent most of the year missing my grandparents and the pacific northwest and wishing i was there, so naturally it was always the first place i went to when i got a chance. Im weird. And boring. I realize this.

Secondly, when i did work in education there was this yearly conference and pretty soon after i became in charge of the art department we started bringing the whole team to these conferences. It was the highlight of my year - im not even kidding, im that much of a nerd. I thought my team were the greatest people ever - a sort of found family if you will - and getting to be stuck for an entire weekend with them in some of the most boring cities the united states has to offer never failed to entertain. You know how when you're with people you love everything just feels more exciting? Even dumb shit like getting lost on the DC subway because the foodie of your group wants to try a very specific japanese restaurant thats in a far corner of the city on the opposite end of where the hotel is located. Or getting lost in Atlanta because we had to walk all over the old olympi*c grounds just to see some old stadium so the sports fans in our group could take a photo. Actually now that i think about it most of our outings involved getting lost while walking places. Im not even going to go into detail about the more boring cities because im embarrassed to admit that i found even the most mundane events Really Exciting with these guys. I had a blast, this was the highlight of my LIFE, i dont have very many friends or get out much, lol. I miss those days. I see some of the team individually, like when i last visited pittsburgh, but its not the same as being trapped in a random city and having to entertain yourselves during the off hours when you're not giving presentations. These conferences were also the only time i ever experienced Popularity. Being able to sit in a hotel lobby and have people come up to me, because they recognized me (or my team) was a blast. This is the ideal scenario for a shy person who loves talking to people but cant start a conversation to save my life. I did not care that most of these fans were educators over 40, they all had interesting stories and hearing them talk about using our program helped me come up with new things to implement next so it was a win-win. I also shamelessly used this time to do research on the history of our team. The group peaked in the 90s/2000s and it was really easy to get the older members to start talking about those days. i could probably write a book with everything i learned over the years. except not because even education nerds have scandal. the thing i always found is that if a person seems boring its just cause you haven't asked them the right questions yet.

There was one instance of a guy my age who came up to me and turned out to know the sculpting program i used, and was canadian so we had the whole pacific northwest thing in common, so after the con was over for the day the two of us went out on the town alone. And stayed out till like 2am, not doing anything wild (we visitd tourist sites! We bought smoothies!) i believe we ended up hanging out on an empty playground and talking philosophy, but im pretty sure that was the closest i will ever get to having a one night hookup. The hookup part did not happen because i was too shy to invite him back to my hotel room, and he was staying in a buddhist temple because it was the cheapest housing available and he was a broke grad student studying machine learning and art. I still remember that night, that was the Best night, partially because it was so unexpected and a random happenstance meeting of two strangers who would normally never come together.

Aaaaaall that said, i do realize we are talking about hockey players here who i imagine are maybe not the best conversationalists, and maybe would much rather be sleeping on a beach somewhere. And most of them are probably not the creative type to make exploring a city new or interesting no matter how many times you've been there. (with the exception of sid*ney cro*sby who as we all know is excellent at scavenger hunts). So all right, yeah, maybe i too wouldn't relish the idea of being stuck in a city with a whole bunch of hockey bros.

I also imagine its very different asking someone like sid if he enjoys the all*star game versus asking some player who isnt the best in the league and maybe just got there because of a voting fluke or the rest of his team is just shitty, and is maybe fairly new to the league and this is his first time going, and holy shit he's sitting next to sid at breakfast. Cmon theres got to be at least one guy having that experience even if they would never admit it because its uncool to fangirl.

Thank you for sharing your winter classic pictures and opinions about the Kraken. I don’t catch a lot of western conference home games because they start too late (east coast problem) and only know the former Pens on the team (thx, Hextall💩). The Beniers-Borgen baking video you reblogged was maybe my favorite NHL holiday PR.

thank YOU for letting me infect you with my home team opinions. i don't get to watch them as much as i want to (fuck you root sports blackout somehow applying when i am BASICALLY IN ANOTHER STATE) but they delight me so much and every time i watch them at our local brewing co it brings me great joy. even when that time was us losing to the stars in game 7. i think it's the ragtag/isle of misfit toys vibe!!! even our stars are dweebs who don't own a hand mixer!!!! and god the will borgen content has been simply tremendous this week. give that man two beers (and don't take them away from him when the reporters show up)

[sergeifyodorov]

yeah yeah kings cup but that canucks-kings (or kings-canucks) matchup?? baby, I built a fantasy team on that premise in september. it’s a marathon not a sprint, will the wheels fall off, the twin ghosts of pdo regression and what quintin saw in the woods but!!!! seven games, 4-3, 2-5, 3-2, 5-3, 3-4, 1-2, 3-4 then yeah [redacted] gets to decapitate 1 bird at center ice, I’ll tell you that for free

unrelated but I put $5 on nucks-rangers 30th anniversary finals so I wanna put dibs on that longshot

kings path to the cup is NUMBER ONE they beat wc1 (Jets? Ducks? Whatever) and it's like yeah sure cool no one Cares it's the fuckin ducks they were literally last in the league last year. and then something crazey happens in the eastern conference (toronto boston second round) so no one's paying attention to the kings nucks series even though quinn is going absolutely fucking supernova . and then they only tune in after the leafs bruins is over in five(im not telling you who wins) and go WOAAA what tha fuck is this!??? and then realize that yeah. they have been this crazy the whole time. east coast biased ass bitches. and the whole second period of game seven is anze (a much older and more experienced wizard, although he possesses less raw power) and quif casting spells at each other at centre ice. and then it's decided about midway through the third although there's like a five minute 6v5 that's like nailbitingly fucking good and quinn lasts out there the Whole Time without breaking step. and the Good People Of Vancouver don't burn down the city (you need to win at least two more rounds for that) but they're still emotional and then the kingsyotes is just as good but much sillier (the coyotes are incapable of playing a normal game). and then the kings are like "ok guys let's pack it up" and they sweep pittsburgh it's not even dramatic or anything

[yabagofmilfs]

this is my first year ever making a bracket and my east side has managed to be basically pitch perfect and my west side was bombed so heavily by the first round there’s basically no recovering. maybe next year instead of whining about west coast games going past my bedtime i should actually watch some of them

I don’t think I’ve even looked at my bracket once, but I’m in the opposite boat—the eastern conference is a mess. I’m pretty sure I had Boston and Colorado in the finals, so. Baby is NOT getting a good grade on her first bracket, unfortunately.

I’m on the west coast and even I think they start too late, so I don’t blame you. Hockey should get me through the last hour of work and end right around dinner time, thank you.

12/26/2022 CFB Transfer Portal Update #2

Since my last post, 11 of the players that I discussed have made their commitments. In this blog post, I am going to cover the choices these student-athletes made and their potential fit with new programs.

The once five-star prospect will look to take over as the starting Quarterback for the Purdue Boilermakers after Transferring from Texas where he was the backup to Quinn Ewers. This could prove to be a good move for Card because He was already a backup at Texas and next year will have another five-star top-ranked quarterback joining the room to bring even more competition. He joins a system with much less competition at Purdue where last year's starter in Aidan O'Connell is leaving for the NFL draft.

Shedeur Sanders did exactly as most thought he would which was to follow his dad to Colorado. Shedeur will step on campus as the immediate starting QB and be a share to the face of the program with his father, Deion, and teammate, Travis Hunter. He also is a big asset to future recruiting for the Boulder program as he can message players and talk with other athletes in grace periods when his father is not allowed by the NCAA to recruit.

After seeing Oregon State Quarterback Chance Nolan enter the transfer portal earlier in December the program is bringing in D.J. Uiagalelei to compete with last year's starter, Ben Gulbranson. This can be a fresh start for D.J. after a shakey 2 years of starting at Clemson. His brother recently committed to the University of Oregon so they will be able to play each other every year in the Civil-War rivalry game.

LJ Johnson will look to prove why he was so highly touted coming out of high school and take over as the lead back at SMU which had run by committee backfield last season where 5 different running backs split a majority of the workload. In my opinion, this can go either way for LJ. With so many capable runningbacks in one room, it will be hard to steal all of the reps and be a clear-cut #1 on the team. With that being said, if 5 running backs shared the majority of touches last year then Johnson has the potential to show the coaching staff that he is their do it all back and can perform the same capabilities as some or all of the other running backs at SMU.

RaRa Thomas committing to Georgia is huge for the Bulldogs as they add even more weapons to their already #1 ranked team in the country. With Stetson Bennett running out of eligibility and leaving for the NFL before next season, it is unclear who will be the QB throwing RaRa balls in 2023. If Georgia finds a ready-to-win QB for next season, they and RaRa are going to be a force to be reckoned with in CFB.

Ajani Cornelius committed to the University of Oregon where he will most likely make an immediate impact starting at either the left or right tackle position. This was a huge get for Oregon as they look to protect their returning starter at QB, Bo Nix, who was on the fence about going pro or returning for his final season of eligibility. This also brings a lot more national attention to Ajani that he wasn't necessarily getting at Rhode Island.

Amari Kight found a new home at the University of Central Florida where and will hope to shine as one of their best lineman in order to boost his draft stock in his final season of eligibility. The Big bodied tackle the frame and mobility that the NFL loves.

Braden Fiske decided to go with the East coast and commit to Florida State rather than the likes of USC on the West. The massive interior defensive lineman will look to not only prove that he can compete against the best playrs in a power-5 conference but will also hope to gain attention from NFL scouts.

Tunmise Adeleye is leaving the heat of college station Texas for the shivering cold of East lasing Miching to join the Michigan State Spartans. This move makes sense for Adeleye because he in joining a much more run-heavy conference in the BIG10 as compared to the SEC. This will allow Tunmise to display his run-stuffing abilities as there will be far more opportunities.

Travis Hunter decided to follow his head coach and top hall-of-fame cornerback, Deion Sanders to Colorado. Travis will fit right back into Coach Sander's system where he played on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball last season for Jackson State University.

Tony Grimes decided to join the Texas A&M Aggies who have seen the departure of 4 defensive backs through the transfer portal in just this past month. Grimes will make an immediate impact at corner as there isn't much competition for his spot.

Thank you for reading my post that covered all of the now-committed players from the transfer portal who I talked about in my last blog. In the near future, I will post my update #3 and talk about programs that have been the most successful in replenishing their teams with talent from the CFB transfer portal.

The 2023 Hater's Guide to the West Region

This blog is not in any way affiliated with the NCAA, its entities, subsidiaries, or member institutions. This is a humor site and should be treated as such. We’re all on our way out – act accordingly.

1. Kansas (28-6). When Texas beat Kansas to end the Big 12 (8?) regular season, the intrepid videographer shooting the game happened to catch a KU coed wearing a t-shirt which read “I (heart) Dick.” A-fucking-mazing. Look, I don’t have to tell you KU fans need this one seed, need the wins, need a title more than anything to justify their continued existence. They live in Kansas for fuck’s sake – Interstate 70 ends in Lawrence and you are stuck wandering the plains like Denzel Washington in Book of Eli until you reach Colorado, and the interstate magically appears again. There is NOTHING to do here other than watch basketball, and that says a lot, because I live in Iowa!

2. UCLA (29-5). This is a Bruin, right? With that face, I am 100% sure his name is “Crick Monin.”

3. Gonzaga (28-5). There is a new Constitutional amendment which clearly states you are no longer allowed to refer to Gonzaga as a Cinderella school. It’s been twenty five years - I think the slipper finally broke. They’ve now been in every final AP poll since the 2008-09 season, and have appeared in every weekly AP poll since 2016-17, a streak of 115 consecutive weeks. I will never stop laughing when eighth year senior Drew Timme appears on my TV screen. All I see is TIMMY from South Park. Fuck John Stockton.

4. UConn (25-8). Go back to the AAC! Biggest group of crybabies in the country and it isn’t even close. When their women’s team had an injury plagued season (lost five games including back-to-back games for the first time in 30 years), Geno Auriemma vented to the media and to his team, telling them they had three days before the conference tournament to fix things. Then he got in his car and drove home to Manchester, wishing he could continue westward. “The way I felt was I want to wake up in California in three days,” he said. “I just want to keep driving, I don’t want to do anything, I don’t want to come to practice.” Jesus man, just fucking quit already and move away from that awful place. Twitter account CrimsonCast put it best: UConn continues to fail to shake the perception that they are simply an analytics darling. Like an east coast version of the Mountain West.

5. Saint Mary’s (26-7). Every bracket, no matter the site, always lists this school as “Saint Mary’s (CA).” Why? No one is confusing this school for the archaeological dig site posing as a university in Maryland, or the all-women’s college in north-central Indiana where many of the enrolled students play for nearby Leprechaun U, also known as Notre Dame. No, this is the school – in California – that gets exclusive coverage on ESPN Australia/New Zealand. Sixty percent of the student body is involved in organized athletics here, so it’s a good chance you’ll be handed a scholarship and some sort of ball upon move-in. It’s either that or forced labor washing jockstraps.

6. TCU (21-12). Their coach gives out a pair of “charge socks” when a Horned Frog player takes a charge. There’s a big bucket of these colorful dress socks in the TCU locker room. Charge socks? You have to be kidding me. You are in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, you can’t find a bag of blow or an extra couple of c-notes for your athletes? (Producer cuts in…garbled static…). Pardon me, I’ve just been informed that the “C” in TCU stands for “Christian.” There is no cocaine on campus. But NIL is legal now, surely you can find something other than a pair of sweaty dress socks to reward your unpaid employees. Perhaps a sad handjob from a coed who has already put on the freshman 15+15+15?

7. Northwestern (21-11). Congratulations, you finished top three in the Big Ten for the first time since 1960. You won your last conference championship 90 (!) years ago. You have made one (1) NCAA tournament and had to be retroactively selected as something called the Helms National Champion. Your most successful head coach played for Phog Allen at Kansas – in 1917! Northwestern basketball is the definition of futility. They are the Chicago Cubs of the NCAA; fitting for a program that markets itself as “Chicago’s Big Ten team” (insert jerking off hand motion here). Even if Northwestern won 25 games a season for the next 25 years, they would still have a losing record.

8. Arkansas (20-13). It is against state law to mispronounce “Arkansas'' while in the state, yet their residents  pronounce jalapeno “Holla-PEE-no.” Gun to my head, I wouldn’t be able to look at Sarah Huckabee Sanders naked, playing with a hula hoop, for more than a second.

9. Illinois (20-12). Brad Underwood is a bargain-bin Gene Keady who is very upset about “booty ball.” Every press conference he attends ends with him making a wet fart sound into the microphone.

10. Boise State (24-9). No one gives a shit about this team unless tater tots rise to $6 a bag – then it’s time to storm the blue court. I know exactly one person from Idaho and their personality matches that of the official state produce. This person is incapable of being corrected. They are always right. You are always wrong. If you say the sky is blue, their response will no doubt begin with “well, actually…” Boise is also not a state, you arrogant fuckhead.

11. Arizona State (20-12) or Nevada (23-9). Over 60% of the student body at ASU has some form of herpes. Unless you are a model, they throw you in an engineering building for four years. If you hate Duke just like the rest of America, you generally hate Christian Laettner and Grant Hill. But there’s one player from those early-90s teams everyone forgot: Bobby Hurley. As I’ve aged, my hatred for Hurley has waned, but I’ll always wish maximum pain for whatever team he coaches.

With the growth of legalized sports gambling across the United States, the University of Nevada has introduced several new classes for the 2023-24 school year: Kneecap Relocation, Intermediate Hammer Smashing Techniques, and Advanced Vig Calculation. Another new course addition as of Thursday morning: Getting Your Shit Pushed In By A Sun Devil Pitchfork. Too soon? Probably.

12. VCU (27-7). VCU stands for Very Completely Underwhelming. This isn’t a college, it’s an industrial laundry that has tricked 28,000 students into paying the institution to “work.” If you want a perfect example of the bloat in higher education administration, consider there are over 11,000 non-academic staff at VCU. Never trust a doctor from this school; they only practiced on centaurs.  

13. Iona (27-7). Someone is going to give Rick Pitino the best 14 seconds of his life to coach for them. 

14. Grand Canyon (24-11). By employing buzzer-beating Valpo alum Bryce Drew, this pretend university has already accomplished more in the NCAA Tournament than Mount Rushmore State, Hoover Dam U, Smokey Mountains College and SUNY-Niagara Falls.

15. UNC Asheville (27-7). Let’s have a quick check-in on how this college is doing. Student enrollment and retention are plunging at UNC-Asheville and top leadership is departing at the highest rate in the entire UNC system. While overall student enrollment in the UNC system has increased 7% since 2015, UNC-Asheville fell by a stunning 25%, the largest drop among the 16 public universities in the system. Of the incoming students UNC-A is able to attract, a high number of them leave before graduation. Retention of students, measured as those returning for a second year of school, is now just 68.6%, the lowest in ten years. Jesus, even Trump University would laugh at these numbers. 

16. Howard (22-12). Howard students recently had to protest living conditions in on-campus dorms – mold, mildew, and rats are apparently very commonplace in multiple residences. It is 2023; the only sensible reason these alarming conditions should be issues on your campus is when you have outsourced every part of the student life experience to a call center in the middle of the Himalayas.

Woodrow Wilson Woolwine Strode (July 25, 1914 – December 31, 1994) was an athlete and actor. He was a decathlete and football star who was one of the first African American players in the NFL in the postwar era. He went on to become a film actor, and he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Spartacus. He served in the Army Air Corps during WWII.

He attended Thomas Jefferson High School in South East Los Angeles and UCLA, where he was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity via the Alpha Delta Chapter. His world-class decathlon capabilities were spearheaded by a 50 ft plus shot put and a 6 ft 5 in the high jump.

“I got a cultural education—majored in history and education,” he said in a 1971 interview. “Never used it, but I could walk into the White House with it now.”

He, Kenny Washington, and Jackie Robinson starred on the 1939 UCLA Bruins football team, in which they made up three of the four backfield players. They became famous nationally as “the Gold Dust gang”.

Along with Ray Bartlett, four African Americans were playing for the Bruins, when only a few dozen at all played on other college football teams. They played eventual conference and national champion USC to a 0–0 tie with the 1940 Rose Bowl on the line. It was the first UCLA–USC rivalry football game with national implications.

He dabbled for several months in professional wrestling. He wrestled almost every week from August 12, 1952, to December 10, 1952, in different cities in California. He was billed as the Pacific Coast Heavyweight Wrestling Champion and the Pacific Coast Negro Heavyweight Wrestling Champion in 1962.

Sheriff Woody of Toy Story is named after him, as was the recurring character of the Santa Barbara Coroner in Psych. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha

After a while the mix went mostly to warlock and they're having a hard time where they are and love them don't feel like working and they are probably not going to and that's wrong we are going to have to do something although they went to their areas we don't want them destroying the place and by their areas we mean that it's all Satanist and 90% Mack morlocks

We have a message from them they said they'll turn the whole area into a military complex and tonight they want to ruin all of the nice buildings and historical places all over la they come in with a plan last night and our son says why are they going to beautify here and then he said they're going to do what military complexes wherever they go and they have places for it and they're stupid so he got on the horn and he said we have to blow the whistle on these people the out of control they don't want to do anything go anywhere so we have a huge problem with these idiots and there's some pretty big areas there in it's not too early to tell no and they are attacking each other constantly it looks like the west coast is going to be owned by bja and the upper Midwest what's left of it part of the East Coast and parts of the South will be Trump he's not that big but he's importing people and it's getting bigger it's a damn nuisance so this group just won't give it a rest and they want to fight each other and have no civilization here and it's kind of what happens with foreigners a little because they're all struggling and it all stuck they were all stuck here and they can't do much about it no they used to try but not like this this is nonsense and now it's evil is very hateful and we know why they want to do it it's kind of like they think they have to and they don't have it below but we can allow it and they want to turn these factories into military factories granted about half of them might have been but we're not willing to let this type do it at all we have solutions they are a parent but we need to figure out what to do with factories. We are verifying this is what they're doing and this is their plan at this time and whether it's true or not it's what we want to just we want to decipher we are questioning a lot of people we are running maneuvers we are sounding and a lot of it is on the surface and they're crazy people putting their jobs and just walking around where they are and they plan to convert it they say so bja is challenging our son to come and take it and he says you're in my country this is not your country and we'll come and take it and take it from you and with other people too not just us so we're talking to them the president's vice president the max pseudo empire and foreigners and he said we need an emergency summit in a real one I don't care if you have to do it digitally it's better to do it differently we need to meet we had a meeting and it works this place is a disaster these kids are getting worse and worse every day they want to turn into a war zone make the top side into an industrial complex and doesn't ruin everything so nobody wants to let him do that and what they said is they have these huge stashes and caches and they're both sitting there and we let them do it in it and they're both sitting there but they are fighting for real and it is a bloody fight so those two things that we are going to do

1. We are going to make sure without a doubt whether our suspicions of them creating an industrial complex set of the entire South and West are true and upper Midwest and we will act accordingly and we have a deadline for all reports to be in

2. We are going to confer with those with a parallel or temporary alliance to come up with a game plan as to what to do if this is the case to remedy it

3. We will have to take certain things fairly soon if it is discovered that they are going to convert these to a military complex. We have our orders and we do understand what to do

This is going to be the end of these idiots nobody wants to live like they do no one wants constant war and they can't hack it at all keep blaming everyone in their bunch of screaming blithering bloated bitches.

There is a chance that they may eradicate the element wanting to turn it into a military complex if they do not we will of course deluge the areas with large numbers of powerful robots and troops and remove everybody so it's civilization may continue and that is our plan.
