I certainly hope not.

re: Why couldn’t tom Osborne win a title until 1994?
Posted by Overbrook on 7/27/26 at 5:35 pm to GoGators1995
I think he just didn't want to be a wimp. Go for it, try to win the game.
But really, given that mindset, he should have gone for 2 when Nebraska cut the lead to 8. That would have effectively him 2 chances at it. Had he missed it when the lead was 8, he could have tried it again to tie the game, and looked like a hero.
That said, kick the extra point, and they win the championship.

Because he was too proud/sporting to kick the extra point in 1984.

Or maybe the layoffs are to help finance the gargantuan TV contracts given to the SEC and, most curiously the Big 12 (who got a massive raise after losing their 2 big water-carriers OU and Texas).
Overall, 'buying' at the deadline is bad business. Or at least young-for-old trades generally are.
Trading for average starters that are wishcasted/hyped as to something more is bad business (Shane Baz, MacKenzie Gore et al). This year's prime candidate: Reid Detmers.

re: Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire says Sorsby returning for week 3 is a "stretch"

I don't blame the courts for this.
The blame falls on Texas Tech. Why are they even fooling around with this guy? It's pitiful. Texas Tech should be CFP banned for 3 years.

I think Dana Brown has done pretty well cobbling together reasonably competitive teams. The problem is that he has very little to trade: the farm sucks.
And that's the real problem. Fire those responsible for that situation (which may be Brown).

re: Pacers screwed up worse then the pels

I don't know the NBA well enough to say, other than so many of the NBA trades seem wackadoddle to me. 2 firsts (with a 50% or so chance it would be 1; but if it was 2, it would be #5) for a journeyman center seems nuts. Trading unprotected picks to move up in a draft is obviously nuts.
And whoever traded the best player in the NBA and 5 first round picks to OKC for Paul George (who OKC was trying to trade) is ....whew.

re: Stein is hearing that Ham and Hetzel made "strong impressions" on Pelicans FO

They hate Dumars; Ham and Dumars are friends; Therefore, Ham was hired only because he's friends with Dumars.
Yea, the trade was terrible. 3 or 4 more like that and he'll come close to Griffin's record of squandered first rounder picks.

re: Golden Tempo to sit out Preakness, but will race Belmont
Posted by Overbrook on 5/7/26 at 10:35 am to lsutigersFTW
Triple Crown spacing just not in tune with the modern game. "Back in the day" horses used to race between triple crown races.
Also, Justified and, to a lesser extent, American Pharaoh's bogus Belmont debased the Triple Crown.

re: Kentucky Derby 2026

The reason is that DeVaux, Asmussen, McPeek and Cox (until this year) and others train their best in New Orleans. They may not race them here (Asmussen certainly doesn't) but they train them here. Cox moved a large part of operation to South Fla this season. Ortiz is making great connections for the rest of the year while dominating the racing in the winter.
It's hard to see the FG quality that when parsing through the din of conditioned 5 claimers on a Friday card.
Meanwhile Churchill dotes on Turfway, Ellis and Colonial, while treating FG like crap.

Fair Grounds horses always do well in Kentucky, but they've been absolutely dominating the place this spring.
So what's Churchill and the racing office going to do this time? Cut purses again? Eliminate stakes for open horses again? Squeeze stall space for top trainers again?
New York is going plastic track in the winter.
The opportunity to have a real major race meet in NOLA is there. How can FG have such low purses compared to low-handle tracks like Colonial and Ellis? Wake up, La Racing Commission.
And Congrats to Golden Tempo and Cherie DeVaux.

Seems a lot easier than hitting the Pick 6 at the track.

Aaron Nola is on Italy? Geeze. Aside from Skubal and Skenes, they probably have better pitching than the U.S. team.
If team Italy wins this thing, will they be parading on the streets in Rome and Naples for this team of ringers?
There's a certain humor in all of his.
