  1. Damn, that double play looms large now.
  2. Perfect bunt by Jonah. Don't worry, Tulo will coach that out of him.
  3. so how long do we keep Riojas out there before yanking him? Desperately need to save some arms for tonight.
  4. Ugly AB. Now it's up to Flores...
  5. Fucking hell, is Flores still in the lineup?
  6. No arms left, and we have to win three in a row. This season is over.
  7. UTSA lineup is seeing beach balls tonight
  8. Took just five minutes for this to age as poorly as expected
  9. Staring down the barrel of a repeat Regional exit. This is brutal to watch
  10. Jonah coming up big in Regional play! mUV0Wd5Yp27k9N9h.mp4
  11. Could Jonah have been sent home?
  12. Sankey and the SEC are losing the PR battle in order to win the war. The Big 12 and ACC rejected 4+4+2+2 because they didn't want to codify their worth as half than that of the SEC and Big Ten, so now Sankey is going for the entire pie, trying to expand to 16 with more at-large spots that can be filled by more SEC teams.
  13. The caterwauling for further playoff expansion has reached absurd levels.
  14. Damn nice. Not many out there do enamel dials better than Anordain. How long was the wait for your build slot?
  15. Or like losing to a 6-6 Appalachian State squad that finished 9th in the Sun Belt standings. At home.
  16. If you really want to go deep into the weeds, look at the impact the spread and adoption of gunpowder firearms had on this paradigm. The Ottomans used cannons to conquer Constantinople and enter Europe, the Safavids used musketeers to defeat the Uzbeks, and the Mughals deployed formations of firearm-wielding infantry and artillery to defeat the Afghans and Rajputs and conquer India - all within a single generation.
  17. Turkic peoples like the Kazakhs, Uyghurs, etc. and Mongols are ethnolinguistically different, but they share a ton of cultural heritage and history. Both have a mix of east and west Eurasian features. The Oghuz Turks first migrated westward into Central Asia, bringing their entire herds with them. A Persianized branch known as the Seljuk Turks then continued further west into Persia, defeated the Abbasid Caliphate and conquered Baghdad, then defeated the Byzantines at Manzikert to move into Anatolia. Genghis Khan then began his campaigns of conquest, and his grandson Hulagu Khan later sacked Baghdad. The Mongol empire ruled over primarily Turkic subjects, and subsequent rulers and dynasties identified themselves as Turco-Mongols (including the Timurid Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Mughal Empire). Meanwhile, the non-Mongol Turks who were in Anatolia rose as the Ottomans, cut off from their Central Asian brethren by the Safavid Empire which re-took Persia.

  19. Lincoln Riley getting savaged by Petros Papadakis for ending the USC-ND rivalry. videoplayback.mp4 "College football has been taken over by the television companies, one of which I work for as you know. But honestly none of that in my opinion has anything to do with USC-Notre Dame, and should not have anything to do with USC-Notre Dame. And that’s the beauty of USC-Notre Dame is that it transcends conference realignment, it transcends the NIL, and it transcends all of these different twists and turns in the sport. If it can survive World Wars it should be able to survive the selfishness and the absolute myopic nature of the era we live in. It’s ridiculous to think that it wouldn’t. Because Lincoln Riley doesn’t like it? Who the hell is Lincoln Riley in the grand scheme of things when it comes to USC and Notre Dame?” “It just really bothers me that there’s people who have never put on the uniform, don’t even have an association with either university that think of themselves as advocates for USC just because they carry water for a guy like Lincoln Riley. And I’m talking about Colin Cowherd and his ilk and they sit here and try to tell everybody what’s best for USC? And that the Big Ten is not viable anymore to have this non-conference game. As if in an expanded college football playoff it’s going to help USC to schedule Missouri State and Georgia State?" “And Lincoln Riley trying to wriggle out of Notre Dame. I’ve got news for you, if you can’t beat Maryland or Minnesota, what the hell are you worried about playing Notre Dame or not. Collect the revenue. USC is not even close to competing. And if they were fourth in the Big Ten, trust me having Notre Dame on their resume, win or lose, is a lot better than beating someone 60-0 that is Missouri State. It’s just very sad to me… Any argument being made, the Big Ten, travel, all of this stuff. It all goes by the wayside. It’s USC-Notre Dame. There’s billions of dollars involved and the players are getting paid. Are you kidding? We’re not going to play this? It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in my life.”
