2025 Boston Red Sox: Anti-Torpedo Countermeasures
MuellerHorn replied to MuellerHorn's topic in Baseball
Man, spot on summary. The redeeming qualities are the "young af team" part and how much the starting pitching has improved. I hate to waste Chapman, as he's 37 and having a great year, but maybe that continues next season. They're going to have to buy/spend in the off season to take advantage of the current roster, though. -

Doesn't mean they're not good luck at Fenway. By all means, attend more! -

Y'all boys were good luck. I don't care if it was a home series. 2 of 3 against the Dodgers is great! -
And Whitt is an exceptional blocker at the WR position. Moore is faster, but I don’t think he was better in any other category last season.

Huh? Yale made the tournament in 2016, 2019, 2022, 2024, and 2025 and pulled off first-round upsets in two of those tournaments (2016, #5 Baylor; 2024, #4 Auburn). They've represented the Ivy League in one-third of the sample size you chose and you didn't even include them. Dafuq?

Texas and the 2026 NFL Draft (Saturday 11:25 CST) - Gerry It'll be interesting to see how Taaffe tests. He's likely not exactly 6'0, 189 like he's listed, either. However, if he has another season like 2024, I think he'll at least be a fifth-round pick. Maybe Gerry views that as "late round," but I consider that to be sixth or seventh.

Friday By Bobby Burton The president of the United States issued an executive order yesterday regarding the future of college sports. The main tenets included eliminating pay-for-play schemes, the future of student employment, Title IX guidance, saving non-revenue sports, and reducing long-term liability of the institutions. I’ll briefly hit on each of these topics below. But before I do, I want to say this: Executive orders are largely performative. What I mean by that is, the orders attempt to set direction for others, from the attorney general, to other members of the president’s cabinet. But they are not the rule of law. In other words, the president can’t unilaterally make the rules, not in the case of the NCAA. The president can’t waive a wand and make collectives illegal or grant anti-trust exemption to the NCAA. Only legislative bodies (i.e. congress) can do that. Then the courts rule on their legality. Here are the topics: - Pay-for-play: the executive does not call out collectives specifically, only that he wants any payments to athletes being purely for brand purposes. Well, pay-for-play has technically already been illegal in the NIL era. The collectives are paying athletes for their brand. So how this could effect NIL and the future of it is murky at best. - Student-employment: by addressing this, the EO seems to favor keeping students as non-employees. - Title IX guidance/non-revenue sports: the EO invokes the desire to keep US Olympic sports competitive as a primary basis for the importance of these two issues. Title IX will be tricky, but the importance of non-revenue sports has been more than adequately addressed in the House vs NCAA settlement. The EO just wants to make sure no scholarships or opportunities are diminished and the House Settlement handles that. - Long-term liability: this is where there could be real value extracted potentially by NCAA member schools IMO. If the NCAA does not have to worry about infringing on the rights of its players when enacting rules, they can rule with more of an iron fist without as much fear of student retribution via future lawsuits. Some equate this to the possibility of an anti-trust exemption. In all, the executive order is not a game-changer. It is just another piece of the puzzle we are all wading through to get to a final resolution, which in my mind, remains years away.

Advantage, Gasparino?

Yep, Job 38: 1-3 (specifically, the KJV). I don't believe we're attributing the quote to PhxHorn; just the perpetuation here. This isn't something people really say, otherwise. However, to be fair, that quote is still attributed to "his Father."

Even better, I don't believe I was ever on a message board with your dad. So, I picked it up from someone else, which makes the language cascade even greater for him. Either way, I have heard from others that he was a great poster.

Both true statements. In my cursory check of single-season TE records at Texas, I must have viewed a source that has not been updated for last season yet. Helm broke all of Thomas' single-season stats: 60, 786 yards, 49.1/game, 7 TDs. Granted, he had the luxury of three more games.

2025 Boston Red Sox: Anti-Torpedo Countermeasures
MuellerHorn replied to MuellerHorn's topic in Baseball
6 ERs on 2 hits is quite the inning, especially after the inning should have been over with the missed pop up to the catcher (timestamped). Could have been better, but glad the Sox didn't get swept in Chicago or Philly. -

Portal additions: Predictions and expectations entering fall camp (Thur. 7:48 am CST) - Gerry DL: Maraad Wilson should starts/play starter snaps. Texas' staff loves him. Getting this dude for two seasons is huge. Absolute portal win. Brevard is also a key addition and will be a 0 tech. Expected to play a ton. Shaw will play, but there are still questions surrounding his health and ability post so many injuries. Fall camp will be telling. Kanu and Johnson will provide solid depth. Awesome to have three transfers on the d-line with multiple years remaining. Offensive Skill Weapons: Endries "has been much better than expected" and the expectations were already high. We may be looking at a David Thomas-type impact; dare I say, even greater? If the Kool-Aid the 9.95ers have coursing through their veins is legit (this is an obvious, "gird one's loins" type of situation), Endries is set to possibly have the best season in Texas Football history for a TE. For reference, Thomas caught 50 balls for 613 yards (47.2/game) and 5 TDs in 2005. Maybe it's just me and his performance in the USC game (10 for 88 yards), but it seemed like was more that year. Anyways, what a beautiful option for Manning in his first year as a starter. Fuck it, he breaks Thomas' single-season marks and goes on the win the Mackey. This is Surly and it's the off season. Proclamations of grandeur is what we do. Did I mention he has two seasons to play... I may need to go clean myself up. Mosley has also enchubbened the staff. "Two more years, then off to the NFL." Hmmm, I'm sensing a theme with this year's portal class. Impact LB: Spence "will start, or play starter snaps at linebacker with the ability to play off the edge as a pass rusher." And, you guessed it, could play two more years but is viewed as a true NFL prospect after this upcoming season. Specialists: Shipley "just needs consistency from both hash marks and in game deciding situations." Well, I'm triggered now. He's 31-35 in his career with a long of 60 yards. Bouwmeester is an impact punter, "potential all-conference selection, and potential NFL punter." QB: Caldwell: "Could very easily be the backup for the Ohio State game." Maybe it's just me, but I don't want this guy to actually play, like ever. Well, I guess y'all don't even need to read the spoilered article now.
