Perhaps news just travels slower on The Plains. That’s the only way I can explain the outrage from my social media post about Mo Dioubate’s run of blue-collar success this week.

In case you missed it, Dioubate entered Saturday’s game averaging 1.01 blue-collar points per minute this season. For perspective, Herb Jones averaged roughly 0.75 blue-collar points during his hard-nosed 2020-21 season when he earned SEC Player of the Year honors.

Cool stat, right? I thought so at least.

The blue-and-orange side of the state was less impressed with what it argued was a made-up stat.
