  1. And we'll punch the other half of their ticket tomorrow.
  2. And that is the epitome of small sample bias. Coaches will continue to covet the byes, which will continue to make late regular season games matter. And rivalry games will not be meaningful if one team needs the win and the other doesn't. This is pretty much the entire reason the byes exist: regular season integrity. This isn't a new idea. Expanding the playoffs is about adding more games for more money. It does not make the format better in any other way. You think we had a boring first round last year? Do we really need to see Ohio State beat the dog shit out of the MAC champion, and get someone hurt in the process? You know how no one gives a shit about the first round of the NBA playoffs because it's completely predictable? That's where this is headed.
  3. Byes keep late regular season games meaningful, many of which are rivalry games. Do you want to see 11-0 Bama resting guys against 9-2 Auburn? 11-0 Ohio State resting guys against 9-2 Michigan? Because without CCG's and byes, that's exactly what we'll get.
  4. The current format is great, including the byes for the top 4. It doesn't need to be expanded to add 3-loss teams with bitchy coaches. I mean, when you're a big-time program you have maybe 6 challenging games a year. Win more than half of them or go sit down.
  5. You tell him TexArcher said to shut the fuck up.
  6. They are probably saving up for Elko's inevitable buyout...
  7. Leadoff walk -- would be nice to bring him around even if we don't need it today.
  8. Very close, but I think the call on the field stands.
  9. Outhit 5 to 1 through 4. Sigh.
  10. They're gonna let him have 2nd. Just take it.
  11. 2nd chance at a crooked number with 2 on and none out. Pay it off this time.
  12. "Camerawork is hard" -- Tom Herman, probably
  13. That's what I'm thinking. Game plan might have been to just get him through the lineup 1 time, hope that get us into the 3rd, then have him available for Sun or Mon? Or, he gets yanked first sign of trouble?
  14. Wow, that's a tough hook. Kid got 5 outs and 2 unlucky hits and he's done?
  15. Jesus fuckbasher, we get two free baserunners for our 3-4-5 and don't even score, then they get a bleeder.
  16. God dammit. Nice throw and nice tag. Shit.
  17. Damn, that was closer than I thought on the replay.
  18. The ol' Craig Biggio leadoff base runner. Bring it in.
  19. Let's shatter some ridiculous dreams here, people.
  20. Man, Skinny Pete looks like shit.
  21. #that'sthejoke #toosoon
