Big two

they will celebrate here in cleveland they've evened up the series socks lead in the division back to half a game

that was rough because the white sox had had a triumphant sixth inning where they scored four runs featuring the miguel vargas Big two-run hit that made it 6-4.

It felt like the Sox were going to and should win the game at that point.

But no! Brian Rocchio, as you just heard on CHSN, the game-winning two-run double off Grant Taylor in the bottom of the ninth inning.

We need to do that because we have a lot of ground to cover.

For those that don't know, the Superhero State of the Union is an annual event here on Off Panel where Oliver and I discuss the merits of the world of superheroes, whether that's the big two of DC and Marvel or elsewhere.

Last year, I would probably say was our most polarized edition yet, as we ended up basically raving about everything that DC was doing and just dunking all over Marvel repeatedly.

I am very interested to see where we stand on the two.

There's just so many, there's so many comics.

[laughs]

Last big two question I have for you.

We had the first crossover in 2025, we reviewed that.

Ooh, they got a n- ooh, they got a nice little schedule.

Boy, that Big two...

Hey, that Big 12 kinda nice.

That thing jumping over there, ain't it?

Yeah.

And I think that's what Greg Sankey and the Southeastern Conference were trying to do here because how often, guys, especially in the power leagues or let alone the Big Two, do you have an opportunity where 15 are so united and pissed off at one? A lot of the doings and a lot of the problems or controversies that we see hashed out in Destin in the spring, you might have four or five schools that feel one way.

You might have eight or nine schools that feel one way.

This was 15 on one, and I'm gonna give Sankey credit.

And yet they are starting to suffer a little bit from, like, North Carolina State in an up year disease where it's like, "No, this is the year the Wolfpack wins 10." They can't do that.

The floor and the ceiling are basically next.

It's the crawl space of, of the Big Two.

[laughs]

And that doesn't mean a super conference is going to happen.

But there's a big two, and there's a little two, and then there's everybody else.

So whenever people who aren't in the big two try to make me feel bad that they're not in the big two, I just don't care to listen to that.

It doesn't mean I'm not interested in you as a football team.

I am interested in you as a football team.
