Ain't no way the Cavs lose tonight. Ain't. No. Way. #GoSaiyanLarBon

AP: BUCKS GET TIGERS IN FINAL. Alabama is the betting favorite to win the SEC, but the Associated Press says it will be Alabama's blood nemesis that will face Ohio State for all the Tostitos in Glendale, Arizona.

I figured Auburn was collateral damage to Ohio State's Sugar Bowl dumping of Alabama. Good to see they're still a thing. 

It'd be fun to watch Urban Meyer shove a binkie down Art Briles' curdled neck, but I would be salty about OSU missing an opportunity to nuke Notre Dame in the first round of the playoffs. 

I don't plan on missing much sleep over it though, because it's not like Notre Dame is going to make the playoffs. (Fav this tweet.) 

STONEWALL JORDAN. Michael Jordan, a 2016 four-star offensive lineman, resides ~40 minutes from "the Big House." He is currently committed to Ohio State, and he plays with an edge.

Here he is stonewalling cats at Detroit's Sound Mind Sound Body camp:

Jordan appears to be the perfect mixture of nastiness and intelligence. (Remember, he plans to major in international business and minoring in Chinese.)

Don't call him a traitor, either.

From Marc Givler of Rivals.com:

Since the commitment, Jordan said he has received some negative back lash on the local front, but nothing too far out of the realm of normal for these situations. 

"Some people talk to me about it," he said. "They call me a traitor and stuff like that and that I should stay in my home state. I'm actually from Cincinnati, Ohio." 

My current MICHAEL JORDAN POWER RANKINGS:

  1. Michael Jordan, the G.O.A.T.
  2. Michael Jordan, the baseball/basketball player.
  3. Michael Jordan, all others.

A HELMET CONCEPT GUARANTEED TO INFURIATE ALL OSU FANS). Normally helmet/uniform concepts split fans between old and new schools. This could be the first concept I've ever seen that would have all OSU fans seeking mob justice.

Honestly, it'd be better than wearing anything produced by ADIDAS.

OSIECKI HOISTS A CHALICE. Mark Osiecki was Ohio State's men's hockey coach until he was fired in 2013. He caught on as an assistant coach of the AHL's Rockford IceHogs.

Sadly, the IceHogs did not win the Stanley Cup last night, but its parent club, the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, did. That means Osiecki gets his pic with the cup, damnit:

Aside: Sipping liquor out of the Stanley Cup during the Columbus Blue Jackets' championship parade is on my Bucket List.

TYVIS POWELL'S TWEET ANSWERED. On June 11th, Tyvis Powell tweeted:

I mentioned his tweet in the following day's Skull Session, but somehow I missed this response from Luther Maddy, a Virginia Tech DT.

Mmmmm. Let the trash talk flow. I love it. 

Not that it'd be hard or anything, but this Hokies' team should be more formidable than last year's:

Only 82 more days to go.

THOSE WMDs. Free Waffle House waffle... A supercell with a tornado, a double rainbow, and hailstones... Six Days In North Korea... Attempted Happy Gilmore Shot Goes Wrong... Paleontologists love the noisy, featherless, inaccurate dinosaurs of Jurassic Park... Athens Banner-Herald retracts message saying "the sun just exploded, and we're all about to die."
