  1. Coached in League Ball this Fall and went Unbeaten but had a pretty stacked team.  It was our first year in Coach Pitch..  I get to bring back 3 from that team.. Question is what do you guys feel is the single most important thing at that age level? As long as a kid makes decent contact I'm a believer that speed trumps all. Curious yall's thoughts and also what positions do you play your top 3 kids?

    Absent an 8-team playoff, which isn’t on the table, I am dealing with what we have now. And having a conference champion requirement for the CFP in its current structure is fucking ridiculous. That anyone would have an issue with LSU making it if they lose to Georgia is fucking ridiculous. This seems to be limited to Surly. Nobody else has a problem with it. 

    Lets say that happens..

     

    Conf Champ UGA IN

    Conf Champ Clemson IN

    Conf Champ Ohio St IN

     

    I would have Zero issue rewarding Utah or Ou/Baylor winner over LSU

     

    1 Common opponent was UT. Ou and Baylor both won more convincingly than LSU did.  

    "Baylor could never run the gauntlet LSU did"  Strictly opinion and we will never know. 

    But But LSU beat Bama.... Cool and Bamas best wins all year are over Tennesse/ATM.

    Earn your way in or don't complain.  Last year we heard how Uhhh Mayyy zing UGA was...They deserved to be in Final 4.  Based on what? They play in the SEC and beat up a bunch of cupcakes and played Bama "close".

    If you have wild cards, you still are using opinion to choose the national champ. If you don't have wild cards, every OOC game is now a worthless NFL preseason game. Virginia, even if they managed to beat Clemson this weekend, has no business at all in the playoffs. 

    IT happens every year in NCAA tourney.. team wins conf tourney and get a chance in the big dance. It's sports. You guys are treating this like its a math problem.

    When a 1-loss LSU team that has only lost to CFP participant, 1-loss Georgia, there is not one team below OSU, Clemson and Georgia that can outshine that resume. 

    CCGs are inconsistent and are not a part of the CFP tournament insofar as they’re not an elimination or play-in game.  The goal is to put the 4 best teams out there, and a 1-loss team that lost to either USC or KSU does not exceed LSU’s resume - both from the standpoint of who they’ve beaten and who they’ve lost to. The CCG argument is over-emphasized, and I wish people would stop using it as some sole criterion. 

    You know what guarantees you a spot in the NFL playoffs? Win your division. Plenty of WC teams have gone on to win the SB also. Every team that makes the NFL playoffs earn it either way.  

    CFP is such a joke because every team is selected based on the "opinions" of people and money driven. Lets say Ou, Clemson, UGA, Utah and Ohio St all finish with 1 loss and conference champs. WE are still allowing the opinions of others to determine the National champion just as we have done the last 150 years. 

    They need the simple criteria of win your conf or your not eligible. Put all 5 power 5 teams in. Then let a committee decide the final 3 At large teams in case of the fluke upsets in CCG and rank the 8. Nobody has a serious gripe in that scenario.

  5. Im so confused on the rules of the first leg...I thought i heard bags can not be carried by people. They must be on the bamboo. 

    Maybe i heard that wrong. 

    Regardless the format is basically rewarding a shitty team all season. Less is better. Also in the past the womens weight(bags) were always less.  US team is at such a huge disadvantage.  If team US had just stayed a "team" the  US would have like 200LBS and would have made it impossible to carry. I dont care if you have 12 guys like CT rotating and trying to carry that the weight alone would be extremely difficult. 

    Terrible Terrible by MTV. You can't expect these girls to carry the same weight as Guys like Leroy and Zach. 

    On the preview it already said only top 4 from each team advance. 

    Terrible season. 

    Simple way to quit the tanking etc. All competitions are individual.  Worst girl and guy are automatically in and choose opponent. Winner safe the next week.

    Figuring out where they're going to end up will be a whole lot harder than finding a list of current districts on the internet, so you probably shouldn't waste your time. 

    I found a list...Not a lot of 5A D1 schools to choose from in Houston area. Lots of teams from last year dropped to D2. 

     

    All 3 Baytown schools are now 5A D1

    Some question on whether Spencer Sanders will go this weekend with his injured throwing hand.  

    Hmm, Didn't know that. Abort my pick if so .

    Like the top three, haven’t looked at the bottom but makes sense. Thinking hard about IU but isn’t their main receiver out? Otherwise lots of other variables do point to a cover. 

    If your referring to Philyor they have not said. "Concussion protocol last i heard" . They have an explosive offense and have been in every game all year with the exception of Ohio St. SU upset would not surprise me.

    I never post my picks on here but here goes

    OU/BU Under 68

    Texas +7

    Michigan -13.5

    UCLA +21

     

     

     

    3–1. See you boys next week 

  14. Odds are we finish 7-5. Same for ATM. 

    Lets hope they don’t avoid us and we push there shit in. Need something to salvage this mess of a season. 

    Am I the only one that wants this?

  15. Just remember this.. When everybody discusses how "superior" the SEC is and the grind of it is unlike any other conf. 

    In the 3 seasons before and after Missouri and ATM left the BIg 12 they had the following record

    Missouri conf record was 15-10 in B12  and  16-8 in the SEC which included a Top 5 finish

    ATM conf record was 13-12 in the B12 and 13-11 in the SEC which included a top 5 finish

    Not that the SRS rating at CFB Reference is the end-all, be-all but that's got Utah 6th and OU 8th. Takes margin of victory and compares against schedule strength. The SRS is the sixth  column of numbers.

    The last hand of poker I played, if you asked me prior to the hand which is better AQ or A9, I would have said AQ. My AQ lost. I still say AQ is better than A9. If a team is expected to beat another 60% of the time, the fact that the other team won doesn't mean the 60% figure was incorrect.

    it sounds like we each have our biases. some are more harmful than others, but to C-Man's point, there isn't some shining objective method we would all agree can fix things

    The only way to overcome those biases is to dilute them as best we can by expanding the playoff. If I have to pick four teams, I'm probably going to buttfuck Minnesota. If it's eight or 12, then I can include Minnesota and let their first-round opponent buttfuck them.

    I mean i dont "think" Minnesota is a top 4 team.. But until Iowa, Wisconsin or Ohio St beat them im giving them benefit of the doubt.

     

    Here is what i want to see happen just for the chaos

     

     

    2 Loss Uga beats unbeaten LSU in SEC title game

    1 loss P12 Champ

    1 Loss big 12 champs

    1 loss Minn beat Undefeated Ohio St

    Clemson upset in ACC title game

    I know some of it is far fetched but the crying and begging from all of these teams would be great.

  19. Minnesota was a 7 point Home Dog to Penn St. Nobody outside that state expected them to win. If they played again this weekend they would be underdogs again. Point is on field results should trump everything. 

    I remember watching 02 Ohio St get "lucky" week after week. Then they were matched up against big bad Miami and everyone including the oddsmakers thought it would be a blowout. They found a way to win (controversially). Every since then i give teams credit for finding ways to win games like that. Of course sometimes teams get exposed but until then when all else is equal as long as that loss column has a 0 that means more for me.
