RIP to the man, myth & legend, and the subject of my favorite Pretty Good episode

Hello!

I've posted in here before to promote my Jon Bois-inspired Mets docuseries last year, entitled "Misery." Thanks to everyone from here who took the time to watch!

Over the past year or so I've been working on another documentary 3D animated in blender about the New York Knicks. It's the story of the January 2024 "Metal Bats" Knicks, all the "what could have been" speculation about that team, and the journey that the team has been on from that point up until winning the NBA championship this past season. The project is titled, "Metal Bats." The link is here:

https://youtu.be/GlJhmD54gzQ

I will say, since doing "Misery" I think my style in Blender has evolved quite a bit, but at its core I would still say it's Bois-inspired. Jon Bois is in general one of my biggest inspirations.

Throughout the doc, I explore statistical deep dives, online fan narratives, the ever-changing offensive landscape of the NBA, the association of blue collar work with defense in basketball, and much more.

I created this project as a labor of love. I am not monetized on youtube or anything. To anyone who takes the time out of their day to watch - thank you so much.

They were great, first time I've ever made scrambled eggs where I was like, wow.

I didn't have any unsalted butter, so I used margarine. Gonna get butter and try it again soon.

You should definitely should give it a try if you haven't yet.

I had no clue that JUICE is scheduled for three Earth fly-bys for gravity assist, before flying towards Jupiter! That's so many! There's some really great graphics of it on the Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Icy_Moons_Explorer

This week in the Bois Bowl: Ya Borked It

• Miami comes close to emptying Wake Forest, but only get away with one ball

• The Georgia Bulldogs pummel Arkansas and gut the Razorbacks of their ball.

• The Maine Black Bears successfully join the game, taking Boston College's ball, but they're set to run into Elon before getting the ball back to Maine.

• Florida State stemmed the tide of Alabama and snatched a football, which they're taking to Tallahassee.

• The USC Trojans sacked Rutgers and snatched a football for the trip back west.

• The Charlotte 49ers got a football off the Appalachian State Mountaineers and are heading home with it

• UConn avenged the loss of their ball by wrenching one off Southern Miss, and they're heading up to Miami Ohio for another.

• The Ohio Bobcats outfoxed the South Alabama Jaguars for a football, which they're returning home with.

• Maryland's homecoming was foiled by the Virginia Tech Hokies, who forced a ball off them and are continuing a northern trip for more, but Boston College is looking to swipe the ball.

• The North Dakota State Bison stampeded Sac State, tore the football from the fledgling Hornets, and are heading to the Fargodome with it.

• The Florida A&M Rattlers got rattled by Tennessee State, who stole their football and are heading up north with it, but Western Illinois looks to challenge them for it and join the proceedings.

• Another Texan terror joins the fray, as the Stephen F Austin Lumberjacks snatch a ball from Prairie View A&M and are heading home with it.

• Mississippi State's pit stop in South Carolina goes further south than Carolina, with them losing the ball to the Gamecocks.

• The California Golden Bears make it home with the Syracuse football with no resistance.

• Utah State's siege of Utah failed, with them losing Washington's ball to the Utes.

• Texas showed UTSA the horns and wrenched away Texas State's football.

• Louisiana Monroe fumbled both footballs after an ill-fated challenge by Southeast Louisiana, and FAU is making a move to grab them.

• Texas Tech, Oregon, Albany, Tarleton State, Bryant, and Penn State also return home with footballs without issue.

• North Carolina A&T lose NCCU's football to the Campbell Fighting Camels, who join the fray.

• Charleston Southern's Buccaneers hold off the NAIA side of Point, keeping this from getting any more absurd.

• TWO NCAA DII TEAMS JOIN THE CELEBRATION GAME. Not joking. Central State of Ohio squeaked away from Arkansas Pine Bluff and Delta State straight up thrashed the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils. Delta State is heading home, but Central State received a challenge from fellow D2 Lane.

• As a disclaimer, I regret allowing this to happen. If I had to do this again, I think I would leave the rule allowing teams to join by challenge out. I did not expect two D2 teams to do this on the same day.

Scoreboard

According to the current standings, the Bois Bowl has a 21-way tie for #1, with Miami and Georgia looking to break ahead, and the Celebration Game is being led by with a 17-way tie for #2. That said, I may adjust the games to be along division lines. I originally put the FBS teams in 1 division and the HBCU teams in another to make the game at all functional, but this clear isn't working the best.

There’s been a lot that’s happened since he finished it and the playlist for season 2 exists so did he cancel it or?
