  1. 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)
  2. 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.
  3. It looks like the two sides of the bracket will be (2, 3, 6, 7) and (9, 12, 16, unranked).
  4. 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.
  5. SFA cutting four sports.
  6. The last two posts back-to-back is something else:
  7. 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.
  8. Team with the most Ethans wins?
  9. 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...
  10. Oh god - the special teams...
  11. 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.
  12. Down 3-2, all but one of the matches are still close.
  13. 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.
  14. South Carolina really blew it and allowed UVA to push into the last spot. Going by rankings it should be some pretty close matches.
  15. Northwestern is now -2 and in third place. They are the lowest ranked team (11) out of the top eight right now, so their early success may not be indicative of how good they actually are.
  16. Such great writing.
  17. They're intentional about practice and playing football, unlike most OL, who are generally accidental. They're always saying "What the hell. How did I get here?" when they end up playing football.
  18. I do not think he's equating them - I think he's just stating that any Arkansas losses are good for us (2-3 losses are better than 1, but 1 is still better than 0).
  19. Only a Villanova transfer, right?
  20. He’s probably an idiot, but it’s not like he went out and tanked his HoF chances. All of the allegations were from a decade or more ago, long before he would have been sniffing the HoF. Given the timing, it’s certainly possible that the Ravens were aware previously and waited until he was losing his skills to allow it to leak out.
