[quote]The answer is 1940s Army. Men against baws.[/quote] Not even the best team of that decade. ND: 82-9-6 (.873), 4 national championships. Army: 68-17-7 (.777) 3 national championships. ND was 4-2-2 against Army. To be fair, Army did have a very bad 1940 season (1-7-1). Even if y...

re: 2024 NASCAR Season Thread

We haven’t had significant rain here in Chi for like two weeks, then of course this happens today… NASCAR just isn’t meant to go through smoothly here :lol:...
[quote]Klopp stopped at Liverpool because he was stressed and tired. Why would he pick up a team like ours where the pressure is on to perform immediately with what we have, which at the international level isn’t much?[/quote] There’s probably less pressure on the U.S. manager from both federatio...
There legit should end up being like 11 or 12 minutes of stoppage time this half. :lol:...
[quote]Youd think they could still win[/quote] I mean, yeah, but it’s also not a big deal at all like some people are making it out to be or “the world is catching up”. UMass would win this tournament… let alone Arkansas… let alone Georgia… let alone an all-SEC team… let alone an All-American tea...
[quote]Absolutely not[/quote] I think he is, but regardless, it doesn’t really change my main point whether you’re correct or I am....
Woj keeps talking about how there’s never been any sense of entitlement from Bronny… then wouldn’t you want to go basically anywhere else? Actually be drafted on your own merits? Stephen A doesn’t want to hear about nepotism… The annoying part is the hypocrisy. ESPN is trying to simultaneously ju...
[quote]True, but I think where the problem lies is for her to make that public at this juncture of their lives, 4 young kids and whatnot, is a pretty big error in judgment. It was totally unnecessary and most likely counterproductive to their relationship and family[/quote] This. The story itself...
The best teams of the 80s (if transported in time, not the “they’re all over 60 years old” trope) would finish near the bottom of the league today. It’d be most pronounced in the NFL, but would also apply to basketball, hockey and baseball. There have been significant advancements in tons of area...
Sean McIndoe of the Athletic had a good article a couple years ago about various possible reasons/theories for the drought. It’s a pretty long article, but a good read. [link=(https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3353799/2022/06/10/canada-stanley-cup-drought/)]LINK[/link]...
[quote]Sorry I missed that one[/quote] Haha, no worries man. Wasn’t really directed at you, more the others who are probably thinking “here we go again…” :lol: :cheers:...
This is basically going to end up a complete re-hash of like 15 pages from the Butker thread last week. :lol: But anyway… [quote]So having a child is incredibly important for women, just don't use modern science to help have one. I legit don't get what the argument is against it[/quote] The m...
[quote]Telling women they've been told it's a diabolical lie to pursue a career during their commencement speech is ridiculous.[/quote] That’s not what he was implying. The diabolical lies include that being “only” a homemaker/SAHM is unworthy/unfulfilling, and that titles/promotions will bring m...
[quote]So where does that line end? If your wife gave birth prematurely and your newborn cannot breathe without being hooked up to a manmade machine, is that playing god? If not, why not? Completely unnatural to have a machine breathe for you. Why should we sustain any life through medicine? If y...
[quote]So… if someone has heart disease and gets a stent or bypass, that must be against God’s will right? If someone gets cancer and goes through surgery and chemotherapy, that has got to be against gods will then ? If an old lady with a bad hip gets a new one, boom against god’s will. See...
1) There’s basically one quote from an anonymous former coach, after he’s no longer with the organization, everything else from his time that’s been reported spoke highly of his character. 2) I wouldn’t even be shocked if there was a bit of kernel of truth to it. The whole situation was completel...
[quote]IVF is creating life that otherwise wouldn’t be created thanks to “gods will”. Not sure why someone that says life is the greatest of gifts should be upset[/quote] What Catholics say is: 1) The creation of that life if IVF isn’t through the natural/unitive part of God’s plan. (For the r...
[quote]I don't follow the sport too much so I've always wondered why NHL teams seem to move/fold so frequently.[/quote] They don’t. There’s only been two this century (Thrashers/Jets and Coyotes). That’s fewer than the NBA (Grizzlies, original Hornets/Pelicans, Sonics/Thunder and the Nets if you ...
[quote] 2019 Lightning tied the record for most wins in a season at the time and were swept in the first round.[/quote] CBJ were down 3-0 after the first period in game 1 too (and came back to win game 1 4-3). I’m trying to imagine what live odds you could’ve gotten of the CBJ winning the ser...

[quote]Bears o line was much better than Fields made them look[/quote] It was a terrible OL for the first couple of years of Fields’s tenure, and then still bad/below average for most of last year because they dealt with a lot of injuries and had Lucas Patrick at center. But they’ve replaced Patr...
