re: Other than " your team" what are some programs you're looking forward to this CFB season?

I always take an interest in SEC and Big Ten teams that come in with new coaches. So Michigan and Michigan State and Alabama and TAMU....

re: Scholarship increase for baseball- how does this effect recruits?
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 7/26/24 at 8:37 am
It's about playing time. Only 9 guys on the field at a time and once you're taken out of the game you can't go back in. I don't think top baseball schools are going to be able to sign 3 3-star catchers in the same class and four left-handed pitchers at 3 stars and above. It won't be stockpiling in m...
re: Korean Baseball does All-Star game better
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 7/24/24 at 6:41 am
At least there are young people there who seem to like it. I actually think this is better than a HR contest. There's some drama to watching the bunted ball versus some ball just flying out of the park with no one on base and no impact on the game. ...

Ok, buddy of mine drives line haul for Dayton Freight. He loves it. home in the evenings and weekends off with sick leave and vacation and good benefits.
Neighbor drives for UPS. He loves it and loves his Teamster contract they just got. Interesting story he told me that other Teamsters look out ...

re: Thom Brennaman to return to broadcasting with The CW over 4 years after homophobic slur

Milo deserved to have a grudge against the Cubs. He was told he was going to be the lead guy with six innings on WGN TV and 3 on the radio when Jack Brickhouse retired.
I don't blame Harry Carey wanting a job with the Cubs, but the Tribune company went back on their word. They should have hired ...

re: Brett McMurphy: Both the SEC and B1G are unlikely to add FSU, neither want FSU
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 7/16/24 at 4:17 pm
SEC does not need FSU. It has Florida though Florida as the third biggest state in the country has millions of FSU fans.
The B1G could use FSU to get into the South. I don't know what their other options are or they could figure they are not in the South and the SEC is not in the North so they ha...
re: Leaked Top programs valued by ESPN and FOX SIAP
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 7/12/24 at 9:29 am
An interesting way to analyze the list is to look at the quartiles. There are 60 schools divided into fourths.
Top fourth is dominated by the SEC with 9 teams. The BIG has 3 The BIG though has the 1 and 2 teams.
The second fourth is dominated by the BIG with 8 teams. The SEC has 4.

[quote]How is ND not number 1?[/quote]
Last national championship was in 1988. I think they are ranked correctly. I mean when they play Pitt or BC or Army or Western Michigan does anyone care?
I think scheduling plays a huge role. Michigan State is ranked 18th. They regularly play Michigan and...

Found this interesting, I can't believe Auburn is this high.

re: Have y'all noticed how WNBA vets seems to like Reese way more than Clark?
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 7/2/24 at 10:25 am
If the WNBA was smarter they would frame it just like Bird and Magic in the 80s. Two young stars with a large following in college who are rivals in the pros after a rivalry in college. But that would be too easy.
Clark v Reese has so much potential and the players do not have to hate each other...

Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 7/1/24 at 10:53 am
I am fine with it. People have the right to root for whatever team or school they want to. Most students at ULL, USL, La Tech, ULM, Northwestern State, Nicholls, McNeese are bigger LSU fans than their own schools. ...
