  1. Why do you hate UTRGV? Arizona State also added a D1 hockey program several years back. You're more likely to see mens sports being added at the D2 level.
  2. I would think that you could look at any of my nearly 30K posts in thishere chatroom and quickly deduce that I'm not an expert in the English language.
  3. I can happily report that my department is completely free of corporate influence! We value academic freedom far too much to sell it out for the corporate dollar. Also, no one has ever asked us.
  4. Hard to believe that I didn't do it first. GODDAMMOTHERFUCKERSONOFABITCHSHITFUCK.
  5. JARDIANCE IS REALLY SWELL! THE LITTLE PILL WITH A BIG STORY TO TELL! Like WHO THE FUCK wrote that???
  6. You mean the guy in the #4 jersey?
  7. Big guys age terribly. Altuve is the opposite of big. Having affirmed the consequent, I'd also argue that Altuve has been declining for several years now (see SB numbers), but he's compensated by posting the three highest walk rates of his career the last 3 seasons. I'd also bet that he has a higher WAR than Volpe over the next 3 years.
  8. No it won't -- it only applies to private universities.
  9. Shit, Colorado blew apart the Pac-12 so I'm not going to be surprised about this.
  10. He's just like Brock Cunningham, except with talent and athleticism.
  11. I've gone up to Cedar Park twice in 10 days. First, Stankoven is fucking tiny. He'll make Wyatt look like Milan Lucic. But... he's a fucking stud. He's fast as shit, but more than that, he's just insanely quick. And he has IT. He knows where to go, he knows where the puck's going, and he's really good at finding open space on the ice, which mitigates his tinyness a lot. When I just watched guys without the puck, he was the guy who just looked different. Really good wrist shot, too. Bourque is slightly bigger, but slower and with less hockey sense. Not a bad player, but pretty small, and a bottom-6 pest role is probably his NHL best-case. None of the other guys looked they had futures in the NHL. Speaking of, Jack Campbell was playing goalie for Bakersfield!
  12. Hockey is fucking expensive, especially with no opponents within a bus ride. I'd think that we have to add gymnastics, especially in the SEC. We'll see how much money they're making and we won't be able to resist.
  13. Sweat wasn't the lowest-ranked. Also, I seriously couldn't believe that Tyler Johnson didn't pan out. I was OK with Shephard bombing -- didn't expect much out of him except providing aggy misery.
  14. Because they dropped below the research grant dollars metric required for AAU membership, IIRC.
  15. 5 minutes after realignment has been announced, 99% of the teams in the state have filled their non-district schedules, so I cannot imagine these appeals being upheld.
  16. Kahuku is a public school in name only. If you're a badass football player on O'ahu and you don't have the grades to get into Punahou or Iolani or St Louis, you go to Kahuku no matter where you live. That school literally exists for football.
  17. I remember having a couple of girls from the rowing team in one of my classes back in the day. Neither of them had ever rowed before coming to UT.
  18. That's 99% March Madness revenue. The NCAA doesn't get any revenue from football postseason.
  19. I did media at the ACC Tournament in about 2007, and literally everyone there (other coaches, media, conference people, players, etc.) absolutely loved Mike Martin. I seriously don't think I've ever come across anyone in my life who was more universally loved.
