  1. We've got our altercation... Double technical fouls... 😋
  2. Good 1st half for Nembhard, Siakam, and McConnell
  3. Are 2025 recruits signed yet?? (No clue on that deadline) How has Pierce handled transfer portal?? Pierce lost me this season... just too much ugly baseball in multiple stretches and lack of development of pitching.
  4. This Indy/celtics series has been boring for me. Watching boston just settling for jacking up 3's all the time is like watching bad ymca basketball. Mavs vs Wolves games have been so damn entertaining...
  5. Yeah... my bad. Long weekend 😋
  6. Pacers played a helluva gm3... might have been their best chance to get a win in this series since Haliburton is out tonight. I do expect a some type of altercation tonight. Pacers players are tired of celtics green... 😁
  7. Indy no Haliburton available Boston still no KP available
  8. Commissioner Greg Sankey on NCAA, Realignment, NIL | SEC Spring Meetings Today
  9. Doubt it applies in postseason college baseball... but will a run rule be in effect at the regionals??? 😁
  10. BREAKING: Coleman Triplets Discuss Committing to Texas & more! Jordan and Devin, both offensive linemen, will attend Texas on full scholarships. Isaiah will enroll as a preferred walk-on.
  11. Won't be long till robot umps are used to call balls and strikes. I don't mind a smaller strike zone in softball because it helps the offense. But the strike zone calls need to be a helluva lot more consistent. There were some real bullshit mistakes made by home plate umpires during the Super 8's this past weekend. Frustrating...
  12. Fyi... Bobby Burton is attending The new league year in the NFL starts in March when free agency agreements can be officially announced by organizations. College football operates differently. High school and transfer additions have been announced by schools, but a new year doesn’t really start until spring meetings take place. That is the sign that rosters are set and conferences are now looking ahead to the upcoming fall sports schedule. The SEC will have their own fun in the sun this week in Destin. Commissioner Greg Sankey, university presidents, athletic directors, head football coaches, head men’s basketball coaches, and more will all be on the scene throughout the week. In this year’s edition, there appears to be a lot to cover on the docket. What storylines could emerge down on the beach this week? KSR is taking a closer look at some of the potential talking points we could see Sankey and some of the other members of the conference discuss once out of the board rooms. House v. NCAA Expect the settlement just reached in House v. NCAA to take up most of the oxygen this week. Major changes are coming to college athletics as the amateurism model officially died last week. But what does that look like? Title IX, revenue-sharing, collectives, and scholarship limits will all be major talking points this week. How does the SEC plan to split the money between men’s and women’s sports? Where do athletic departments plan to get the revenue-sharing money, and how will the $20-22 million projected be spent? Where do collectives sit in all of this? With House v. NCAA calling for scholarship limits to be eliminated, does that mean there will no longer be walk-ons? Do we now have roster caps? There is a ton to go over, and we might not get many clear answers this week, but the SEC and the other power conferences need to work quickly. A new structure will likely need to be in place come fall 2025. The new world is coming sooner rather than later. Welcoming Oklahoma and Texas The moves do not become official until July, but both schools will be represented by administrators and coaches this week. Greg Sankey’s first big expansion move is now a reality with Oklahoma and Texas joining the Southeastern Conference. Expect the Sooners and Longhorns to get a ton of attention this week as the two massive college brands enter a new league with high expectations. Steve Sarkisian and Brent Venables will now get to sit in on their first in-person head coach meetings this week. The Jaden Rashada lawsuit Last week, a Georgia quarterback sued Florida’s head coach. Yes, you read that right. House v. NCAA will not be the only legal matter worth discussing this week. Arizona State transfer Jaden Rashada committed to Georgia on April 25 and the former Florida signee filed a lawsuit less than a month later in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida claiming the Gators lied to get Rashada to flip his commitment from Miami. Florida head coach Billy Napier, former Florida director of NIL and player engagement Marcus Castro-Walker, and booster Hugh Hathcock were named as defendants. The lawsuit will generate some buzz in Destin this week. Expect Greg Sankey and members from Georgia and Florida to all be asked about Rashada’s suit this week. This feels like one of the most SEC stories of all time. Future football schedules Last year at the SEC Spring Meetings, discussions surrounding the future schedule were the No. 1 topic. The 8-game vs. 9-game battle got drug out into the summer after the members and SEC office could not come to an agreement. With ESPN not willing to add more money to the current media rights deal, the league decided to roll with a two-year plan that includes eight games with a rotating schedule and no divisions. But changes are likely coming in 2026 with the College Football Playoff expanding to 14 teams. The revenue-sharing variable could also bring up the scheduling format. An additional conference game could bring more revenue to everyone in the conference. There will also be more wiggle room for teams to get into the postseason once the playoff field expands to 14 teams. All current signs tell us that the SEC is heading to a nine-game conference schedule sooner rather than later. Future schedule talk will not have spotlight coverage, but it will be an important part of this week. The conference needs to get a permanent schedule model locked in starting in 2026. John Calipari at Arkansas The SEC Spring Meetings are a football-driven event with much of the discourse surrounding what will happen on the gridiron, but that is not the only sport getting work done this week. The men’s basketball coaches will also make the trip to Destin and that will include some of the recent hires. Mark Pope, Porter Moser (Oklahoma), Rodney Terry (Texas), and Mark Byington (Vanderbilt) will all make the trip to Destin for the first time. John Calipari will be making the same trip but with a different school logo on his polo. The new Arkansas head coach will be representing a new team and that will bring a certain level of shock after a long run at Kentucky. These conference meetings will be yet another reality check moment for the Big Blue Nation and the individuals who cover the SEC. Calipari really left Kentucky for another school in the conference. Do not be surprised to see Calipari on “The Paul Finebaum Show” discussing his new gig with Arkansas while also being asked a ton of questions about Kentucky.
  13. Interesting perspective on o-line coaching... https://footballscoop.com/news/andy-reid-lays-out-why-offensive-line-coaches-make-great-head-coaches
  14. So Texas baseball as a #3 seed behind Louisiana as #2 seed isn't embarrassing??
  15. Something I never thought would be written about Texas Longhorns baseball... Louisiana is the second seed in the region and the Longhorns are third. The Aggies will play Grambling in the first game of the double-elimination regional at noon on Friday, and Texas will play Louisiana at 5 p.m. Friday.
  16. SIAP... https://texassports.com/news/2024/5/26/softball-be-uncommon-uncommonly-good-at-the-common-things.aspx
  17. Searching "96" and this popped up... 🤘 Texas vs Corn 1996 Big 12 Championship Highlights
  18. Lsu getting hot at the right time... amazing that they are now a solid #2 seed. Just seems like a no-doubter that ncaa/espn will put Texas in the aggy regional to boost TV ratings. The Horns/aggy softball Super's match-up was amazing must see TV. Glad Texas softball fought thru struggles and won!!! 🤘
  19. Definitely on a roll. If Lively is ok, won't be surprised to see Mavs beat celtics. KP better be ready to play in Finals for celtics. Also, Jrue Holiday will have to stay out of foul trouble for celtics to compete with Mavs.
  20. With Texas pitching to contact, our defense really needs to play better in the WCWS.
