Tuesday Dots: Still pumped on softball

Good morning. If your stress level and emotional high has returned to normal after Sunday night’s manic sequence of softball happenings, please, do tell me how you’ve achieved that. I spent all day yesterday until well into the afternoon on a combo of Twitter scrolling through UW Softball-related stuff, stupid meme-ing of UW Softball-related stuff, and being frustrated that for some god-forsaken reason, there’s a criminal shortage of Danielle Lawrie highlight videos online. Seriously, what the crud people?

I absolutely adore this description by Jeff — that’s Gabbie Plain perfectly summarized in six words:

Here’s a stupid crossover for the subsection of people who are both UW and Flight of the Conchords fans... I couldn’t help myself:

• Matt Calkins talks about the odd paradox of the Dawgs being both a powerhouse and a Cinderella all at once.

• And the Times has a photo album of Sunday’s games.

• Cade Otton scouting report — the author puts him at 3rd round but said on Twitter he thinks that’s a steal of a pick at that point, so kinda confusing but he clearly likes him.

• Jon Wilner infers from Amazon and the NFL’s deal what that could mean for the Pac-12 and college.

• For those who subscribe to 247Sports, Brandon Huffman has his notes from the FSP vs Heir football game.

• If you’re a Patreon subscriber to CFB Winning Edge, they have a really nifty comprehensive look at returning production.

• At the LA Times, a look at how George Floyd’s murder and the protests of last spring have affected how top west coast recruits evaluate potential coaches and make their college decision.

And we gotta show this again:

Do good things, don’t do bad things, and bow down to Washington.
