1. Penn State Recap
starts at 1:00
Hunter Dickinson is a legit star. So nice to be able to run the offense out of the post when they're shutting down your perimeter. Johns as backup C went worse than it looks because they made threes, but wasn't bad. Box-outs were a problem for everybody. Turnovers were a problem. Respect shown to various PSU defenders.

2. Football Because We Must
starts at 30:28
Seems like the program is starting to come apart with rumors of hellacious transfers and a signing day happening before the coaching decision is really made. Ace points out if Warde screws it up or if Warde does a good job these things could look exactly the same at the moment.
3. Hot Takes, Gimmicky Top Five Things That Should Be Legal in College Football
starts at 48:05
Brian's hot take voice gave him a cramp.
4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac
starts at 1:15:38
A weekend of slippery December football yields no alarms and no surprises, except Rutgers comes out on the good side of overtime. Nebraska can't handle the cold, says Seth, and Michigan State can't handle Penn State's talented receivers, and Wisconsin can't handle the football, and Ihmir Smith-Marsette can't handle touchdowns, and why are we doing this again?

THE USUAL LINKS:
I was like I can't believe that worked, but it did because Jamari Wheeler is just incredible at being half a basketball player.

Can someone expound on the transfer rumors without giving up too much paywall info?
I feel like that number is high, but anymore losing 5-10 guys in an offseason may become normal.
December 14th, 2020 at 9:39 AM ^
Yeah, I wouldn't mind knowing what are the actual numbers. Carpenter leaving isn't great because that's a guy you expect to see; a bunch of backups who realize it's getting late early doesn't strike me as atypical anymore.

Man, clearly none of you are baseball fans. Catching a HR and landing over the fence is completely okay, the catch counts. It happens in Boston semi frequently because the right center field wall in front of the bullpen is so short.
December 14th, 2020 at 7:09 PM ^
I figured that had to be an out. Just think about the regular field of play as well. If you catch the ball, you're out. Why would catching the ball on a home run negate the catch?

Almost gave me podcast whiplash throwing in the snippet from the BHP saying "about 100,00" there, guys...

My rule change is wherever you score the TD horizontally is where the extra point is from backed up to the 3. This is how it works in rugby. Extra points are too easy, but I hate the NFL just backing it way up. It looks stupid and unnatural.
