Thank goodness I have my own office that I can close the door to and watch sports. I had to stream a ton of afternoon baseball games this year.

I can take a flight for $100 a short flight from one end of the West Coast to the other. I recently paid $500 for a 5 hour flight to the midwest. Yes, cross country trips are cost prohibitive versus being on the same coast.

Not to mention a woman who grew up in LA is more likely to have family within driving distance of former PAC-10 schools than Big Ten schools.

Personally I think a lot of these Olympic sports will suck during their conference season on these trips. Non-con however has always travelled everywhere to play. However I don’t think baseball will be affected too much since they have 3 day series stays. Golf won’t be affected since they travel everywhere for 10+ team matches anyway.
 
Can't believe how awful the timing was for it to happen when Steve was overseas. Not that there's ever a good time for something like this, but that must have been harrowing for everybody.

Thoughts with the entire family.
 
Good The Athletic interview and article on Trilly Donovan.
theathletic.com

He's always breaking college hoops news. But what everyone wants to know: Who is he?

The man behind the scoop-heavy social media account Trilly Donovan spills some of his secrets — except his identity.
theathletic.com theathletic.com

I tried to solve the mystery myself and even got him to agree to an interview. Once given a phone number, I could surely crack the case. One problem: He had ground rules. It had to be over Zoom, he wasn’t turning on his camera and I had to promise not to share the audio.

Trilly did provide the following biographical info: He works in college basketball, he’s 32, married, no kids and lives somewhere out East. That’s the extent of what he’ll reveal. Even in an interview setting, he will not say his first name. He will say he’s not an agent. He’s not a reporter. He’s not a coach. And …

“I’m not Billy Donovan,” he said, laughing. (But he grew up a Donovan-era Florida fan.)

I always wondered why he choose Trilly Donavan as his handle and now I know!
