  1. I am sure Citron and Snitiker can get him straightened out.
  2. Never understood why people keep believing that Venables knows what he is doing as a head coach. His 2022 team was poorly coached, the 2023 had some better talent in some key positions, but they could have just as easily lost 2-3 more games that season than say gone undefeated, and last year was a fucking train wreck on offense. The only bigger question as to why anyone in Norman might think these latest changes will work is why in the hell did they sign him to a 6-year extension after the 2024 season. Only one other Sooner head coach has a losing record in conference play after 3 seasons and that as the incomparable John Blake who was a Switzer crony and should have been a cautionary tale to the Sooners when they hired Stoopes crony Venables.
  3. Part of me wants Tampa to make the play offs simply for MLB to have to deal with the issue of playing games in this joke of a park.

    2025 NCAA Baseball

    This is such a classic baseball result, ASU scores 36 runs in their series with BYU just a few weeks ago and now goes full whiskey dick against the same staff.
  5. Driving around the other day and Paul Gallant had Jeremey Booth on talking about the Astros. I guess they knew each other from the Seattle days and maybe Booth knows what he is talking about, but the guy is not a fan of Jake playing every day which I understand somewhat. Thing is how do you take a guy who is hitting over .300 out of this line-up? Booth was adamant that Dubon should be starting for the Astros because he is gold glove winner, but if he really a starter or is he better in small doses so to speak?
  6. Very true, but if the elimination round goes longer than 1 game, Tony's track record isn't too good in that second game.
  7. I have been told more than once by my brother in law who lives in Seattle and is a dawg alum that Stanford loved to tell the other schools in the Pac that every sport was as important as every other sport, but the athletic department should never be a prominent part of the schools identity or mission.
  8. The milk is never free, even when you think you can completely walk away from it with no strings there is always that fear in the back of your mind that at some point in the future when you piss it might burn or blisters might appear somewhere.
  9. Did anyone who was part of the hiring decision in Austin ever see that picture prior to make the job offer?
  10. Using sound internet conjecture? Yes. Based upon any actual second hand knowledge, no idea, but this is the internet so yes.
  11. You expect Romo to win the gold? The obvious choices would be Brady and Antonio Brown.
  12. I actually found doing a search for Temple College 2021 baseball roster that the played 98 games for them in 2020-21 and 2021-22: https://tcleopards.com/sports/bsb/2021-22/bios/chestnut_travis_754t?view=career&pos=h I don't know when he graduated from Pflugerville and the best I can tell is he isn't very big, but can run. As you pointed out he didn't hit much for the Ags and reading his bio there he was a utility player whose biggest contribution was as a pinch runner. He goes to St. Ed's where he hits well and racks up stolen bases, but he is 23 turning 24 next fall and I doubt he gets much attention from any MLB team aside from an offer to sign. So I am confused where according to Mom he got "pushed out" by the NCAA. Having heard some stories about Ray, this might explain his playing for the Banditos.
  13. Baby steps, we are working to get off the nitrous when Lance pitches to just a small local.
  14. Go ask the folks on a UW, Oregon, and USC board about their thoughts on Stanford and the willingness of the Cardinal to make their feeling felt when they thought a Pac rival crossed in line. Wasn't also just conference expansion. Stanford was very vocal that athletics should not only over shadow academics, but even be a feature part of a universities identity and made sure they could exert whatever influence they had to check other schools who felt differently.
  15. To be fair, Lance did much better this start than his prior start.
  16. I'm confused, the kid was enrolled at St. Edward's and ATM at the same time and was playing baseball. How the fuck is that even possible? Why would a kid smart enough to carry 24 hours receiving all A's and play baseball spend 3 years at a Juco unless he didn't have the credits needs to transfer or wasn't good enough to catch anyone's attention. This is nothing short of greed if the play is to stay in as long as possible to get paid for what reason? He was forced out by the NCAA? Hell, sue all the D1 coaches who didn't recognize your son's talent because obviously someone that smart and that talented didn't need to spend the first three years of his career at a juco.
  17. Money helps a great deal, but actually showing you can develop a quarterback who can throw the ball down the field plays a part as well. Seriously, OU has fucked up the quarterback situation the last two years and kids notice that shit.
  18. I am at a point where why the hell not? Seriously, who are they going to throw out in left and right who are going to provide more offensively? Might as well find out what Cam and Zach can do if you are going to keep them both up on the roster. Mix in the other options from time to time, but give them the bulk of the work.
  19. You obviously didn't see that piece of shit Ritchie put out for his wife or the movie that followed that when he went M Knight on the plot. He is capable of going pretty damn low at times, though most of the times he stays in his lanes and hits the mark.
  20. Mathematically yes and Lando does have the equal car right now, but Lando doesn't have the same mindset and I would not be surprised at the end of the year the top two are not Oscar and Max.
  21. Depends, if I have the mistake for him to owe me money, then hell no. If however, I am being robbed and need someone to scare off the perps he might be a handy guy to have around.
  22. Your right, Magic and Bird had no impact on the NBA or their teams in their first years. Except, Boston was +32 in terms on victories in Bird's first season and lost in the second round of the play-offs to the Sixers who went on to play in the NBA finals. If I only could remember who the Sixers lost in that final, oh yeah, the Lakers who were +13 in regular season wins and won the title in a game 6 in which Magic literally willed that team to victory with a stat line of 42 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists playing center replacing an injured Kareem. You are right in that the 1980 final and the 1981 final were not all broadcast live as the overall ratings for the NBA were very low. We did see however, in 1982 all the finals games were live broadcast and interest was starting to grow as the Lakers won their second title in 3 seasons. They played in the Finals a 3rd time in 1984, lost to the Sixers, and then the next season why saw the start of the run of great Finals games against the Celtics. If the quality of the product hadn't gotten better the NBA was going to be in very big trouble and that is exactly what Magic and Bird did for the game. I will say it again, Clark and here team need to win and force the league to raise its level of play to attract new viewers. The WNBA is not a new league, it has been around almost 30 years and the team that dominated the league in those early years no longer exists because people stopped going to the games in Houston. Why? Quality of play.
