Are the Vols

In a way, yes, due to the pitching being used. But they weren’t expect to win their regional like the 4 hosts who lost are, 2 in historic fashion.

UCLA is the 1st #1 seed to lose their first game in NCAA Regional history.

AU got destroyed and were down 10-0 to a team with a losing record in one of the worst performances in NCAA postseason history season history. Just embarrassing

Team: Odds at start of game

Wake: -175
Tenn: -210
OkSt: -280
OrSt: -298
FSU: -500
USM: -540
UCLA: -850
Auburn: -2100


“One of these is not like the others” :dunno:



ETA: FSU

ESPN has Missouri St at 68 wins and 38 losses…those seem like Mickey Mouse type stats.

Update?

I think the obvious question is, what strategic reason would Russia have for attacking Romania?

---

A lot, actually. Just have to open your eyes.

quote:

-A Russian missile hit in Poland in 2022 (Przewodów) killing two people. -Pieces of missile debris and at least one unexploded missile landed in either Briceni or Larga, Moldova. -Along with these there have been numerous Russian jet and drone incursions through the airspace of both countries, plus Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Norway and France. Without evidence proving a false flag, it's far more likely this was a Russian frickup than anything else. While they have definitely been testing airspace resolve with drones and planes, Vlad knows that if he can't take out Ukraine then taking on NATO (or even just the EU) would be a monumentally bad idea.

Careful, people on this board will say you are a Ukrainian bot. They can’t possibly understand why Russia has stepped up their attacks on Ukraine and are looking for a way out of this war.

It’s almost as if causing “a mistake” that hits on non-Ukrainian soul could cause additional pressure to end the war all together, with much of that pressure potentially aimed at Kiev. Imagine seeing the Russian death toll hit 500k, US intelligence saying Ukraine took back territory after shutting down the Russians black market Starlinks, and thinking Ukraine needed to do this more than Russia. That takes some serious intellectual abandonment. Cause Russia always steps up their killing of innocent Ukrainian citizens when the war is going well, right? RIGHT???

If you're counting the buyout as part of his salary.

His buyout had mitigation in it, which his DC salary offset. They’re literally paying him more than DC money over multiple years to do DC work. The struggle is very, very real.

No. He was fired and then rehired.

For cause? Then, yes, he is.

quote:

Including the schools that rehired their fired coaches.

---

Schools as in plural? Coaches as in plural?

Surely there isn’t more than one school that is dumb enough to hire a single coach they fired, let alone 2 in a matter of weeks.

He’s not wrong tho, dropping to 12 is kind of wild. But it is what it is, just go play good baseball and you’ll make it through. Happy to be back in the postseason!

You had a 212 NC SOS. The only other hosts in the 200s were UGA and WV. UGA was a double champion of the best baseball conference in America. WV was the last host. What’s the problem here?
