Agree. Vitello had Tennessee in contention every year. That’s my measuring stick.

Jay has won 2, of the past 3 National Championships. Vitello won 1, in 8 years at Tennessee.

Tennessee factually, was not in contention every year. Vitello’s first year, Tennessee struggled to reach .500 overall. Vitello didn’t make Omaha till year, 4. They may have in Year 3 (Covid Year) but no way to know that for a fact. Tennessee also missed Omaha in 2022, and 2025. Hell, Vitello missed Omaha with a super team in 2022.

Tennessee made Omaha in 2023, but that team wasn’t some daunting force. So Vitello made it to the CWS 3 times in 8 years, and did it 3 out of 4 years. 2022 they got lucky to even make it there.

I’m not sure why your bar for LSU and Jay is lower than what Jay has already accomplished.

Don’t get it twisted either. I’m not sticking up for this 26 LSU team, they are playing horrible baseball. Just saying Jay is still the best there is, and Vitello doesn’t even compare to what Jay has done.

What makes you despise Rory as much as you do? Yeah it would have been awesome to see Scottie claw his way back, but there is no denying now, that Rory is one of the best ever. Certainly of his generation. I think the fact his career started off as well as it did, he faltered on the big stage for nearly a decade, then won back to back Masters, is incredibly impressive. Rory could now get to 8-10 before he hangs it up. He’ll go down as an all-timer.

The question begs, who finishes with a better career, Rory, or Scottie? A year ago, I would have said Scottie, but Rory going back to back at the Masters (potentially) and completing the grand slam, getting his total to 6, makes it a difficult question to answer.

Scottie having to wait on Li on 2 separate occasions for an extended period of time, couldn’t have helped his composure on that birdie putt. Just missed it.

Rory is the best golfer of his generation. Possibly with Scottie, if he’s included in with Rory. You might not like him, but for him to have won 4 majors at something like 25, and break through 10 years later for the career grand slam was impressive. He’s still likely to win 2-3 more majors before he hangs it up. He will go down with one of the best careers ever.

Rory, and Young with birdies on the 8th.

What a fantastic Masters this has been. I’m having the most fun watching this Masters since 19, when Tiger broke through again.

Scottie saving himself with big par putts. Young keeping this very interesting for us all. I have a gut feeling Rose is going to pull through.

Rory has lost total control, and composure. Wasn’t necessarily rooting for Rory to lose, but I wanted to see a stacked, close leaderboard come Sunday, and looks like we will get that.

If we’re going to see a first time Major winner, I hope it’s Burns over Young. Going to be fun to watch tomorrow, and to see if Scottie can make a charge.

Li and Day looking like they are about to each drop a shot. Sam Burns taking care of business and not making mistakes, while everybody else is.

Tomorrow is opening up for Scottie to make a big push.

My hopes for this season are slowly starting to fade away if I’m being honest.

I was really hoping for some old school Survivor play, and big moves/blindsides happening. Maybe even some great idol plays or great tribal councils. We have gotten none of that so far.

I have no idea why we are resorting to this new era Survivor stuff with many of the players being “old school”

Being honest, the second they kept the location in Fiji, and kept it at 26 days, I should have known it would be more of the same.

I’m not a fan of 3 people going home in 1 episode. Yes we started this game with 24 players, I knew they would have to do things to get rid of players, but that’s even more reason as to why they should have gone back to 39 days, at least for this season. The “budget” doesn’t allow for it. Yet, this was one of if not the most anticipated season of all time. Certainly in the last 10-15 years.

I was rooting for Colby as my #1, and like many have said the way he left was pretty shitty.

Also Dee talking about “it just really sucks we have to send home Colby, Coach, or Cirie, icons of this game, they wont be able to vote on the winner of 50!” She says that with a straight face, and somehow it was automatically accepted that Emily was being kept. Emily has become my most disliked Survivor player possibly ever. She was horrible in her first season. She never deserved to be here. She’s horrible now. She runs her mouth about everything, is not a challenge threat, does nothing noteworthy at camp, and is not some strategic threat. Yet somehow, Christian, Devins, Ozzy, Dee, Cirie have taken her under their wing, and it’s just a given to them Emily needs to stay. So Colby a legend of the game gets taken out with ease, instead of Emily, and Dee sits there saying how much it sucks Colby has to go home and can’t vote on the winner. Never a thought to get rid of Emily. Christian didn’t think to get rid of her either when she opened her mouth numerous times.

At this point for me, it’s Ozzy, Christian, or bust.
Christian, Ozzy, and Coach have gotten the most screen time for sure, and probably in that order.

Still will root for Dee, Coach, Steph, and Jonathon as well.

The Pirates manager pulled Skenes after 5 innings, and only 77 pitches. Pirates were up 4-1 at that point. The first pirates reliever proceeds to allow a base runner and then gave up a 2 run homer making it a 4-3 game right after Skenes got pulled. Luckily the Pirates did something they never do, and piled runs on after that.

The Pirates are a horrible organization, and this manager seems to not know what he’s doing. I get Skenes pitched in the WBC, and it’s early in the year, but why pull Skenes when he’s dealing at only 77 pitches? Skenes would have been good for another inning. Luckily the Pirates won, but no way Skenes turns it into a 1 run game either.
