  1. Just checking in and holy shit guys, pull yourselves together.
  2. Rate Field, which is I guess what the White Sox call their field now, is way too high. Having been to five of the stadiums in your C tier, I would say they are all way better.
  3. Oh wait... did you say defense?
  4. I mean, if we get the top three players in the portal, that would be pretty good...
  5. As someone who has not lived in Texas in 20 years (damn, I'm getting old), this is music to my ears.
  6. I'm just glad we were able to overcome what was obviously a huge coaching disadvantage against Florida.
  7. Bummer for UVA, but hilarious from the A&M side.
  8. Oklahoma State will be going for its 12th title and UVA will be trying to win its first ever title.
  9. O'Connor took over in 2004 - it's a pretty stark contrast to what UVA was before that:
  10. I'm pretty sure Oklahoma State is ranked number 2 in the country (behind Auburn). If they win, it would not be an upset.
  11. If I'm ranking stadiums, I would do go as follows: 1. Wrigley 2. PNC 3. AT&T 4. Camden Yards 5. Fenway 6. Yankee (old) 7. Minute Maid 8. Coors 9. Nationals 10. Progressive 11. Citizens Bank 12. Citi 13. SunTrust 14. Astrodome 15. O.Co 16. RFK 17. Great Rate (Or whatever the White Sox are currently calling that monstrosity)
  12. I've been to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for Cubs' series and Cleveland for a couple of one-off games when visiting my wife's family. Pittsburgh is great. We stayed downtown and just walked across the Clemente bridge for the games. Obviously the skyline view is great and they did fireworks over the river after one of the games. I will say that it was probably a better experience because we went during the small period when the Pirates were actually good. For Philly, we also staid downtown, but its not really walkable to downtown because of the sea of parking lots surrounding their sports complex area. The stadium itself was nice enough, although it rained all weekend, so we did not get to fully experience everything. If I recall, they have a big billboard blocking a lot of the downtown view, which is unfortunate. Progressive was decent, but I honestly do not remember much memorable about it. I have been to 17 MLB stadiums, but that includes four parks that are no longer in use (O.Co, Astrodome, RFK, Yankee Stadium (Old)). As a DC-area resident, I have been to Nationals park dozens of times. The park itself is pretty bland, but they have built up the area around it quite a bit over the last couple of years and so the gameday experience is much better than it used to be when they first built it. They have also improved the range of eateries in the stadium, so there is a better mix of local places and chains. To be honest, it has grown on me over the years, but I would probably rank it right around average for newer parks.
  13. It looks like the two sides of the bracket will be (2, 3, 6, 7) and (9, 12, 16, unranked).
  14. Fuck that. We’re obviously not the favorites, but anything can happen and it’s not like anyone else (besides maybe OU recently) have been unbeatable.
  15. SFA cutting four sports.
  16. The last two posts back-to-back is something else:
  17. Assuming Texas did have some say on what day this particular game would be played (and I could see that being the case given the reported negotiations between the Big 12/Texas/Fox/ESPN about allowing Texas to get out of the Big 12 a season early), I would think Texas would prefer to play the game on Saturday for all of the logistical reasons stated above (fans already having travel plans, not wanting a short week for the team, etc.). I could also see ESPN not wanting Texas to agree to move the game to compete directly with their stand-alone broadcast the next day.
  18. Team with the most Ethans wins?
  19. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/texas-nixed-ohio-states-request-to-alter-2025-season-openers-kickoff-time/ Great writing. I, for one, could care less...
  20. Oh god - the special teams...
  21. We're going to have to win at least two matches that we are currently down two strokes with seven or fewer holes left. This feels pretty much over.
  22. Down 3-2, all but one of the matches are still close.
  23. Quarterfinal matches Kiara Romero (2) vs. Bohyun Park (109), 10:40 a.m., 1st tee - Huge edge to Oregon Tong An (108) vs. Lauren Kim (10), 10:50 a.m. - Huge edge to Texas Suvichaya Vinijchaitham (25) vs. Cindy Hsu (37), 11 a.m. - Slight edge to Oregon Karen Tsuru (30) vs. Farah O'Keefe (11), 11:10 a.m. - Slight edge to Texas Ting-Hsuan Huang (182) vs. Angela Heo (148), 11:20 a.m. - Edge to Texas Based purely on the rankings on the NCAA website, it looks pretty evenly matched.
