I see the Rays waltzing into the World Series at this point.

re: 2001 CFB season - how controversial was it?

Lots of controversy. The last few weeks were wild. The back to back games on 12/1 were nuts. Tennessee beats UF in a classic to knock the Gators out, setting up the B12 title on ABC where Texas just needed to beat Colorado. They’d already crushed them in the regular season. Chris Simms happened and chaos hit a peak.

Sure, I’ll fire away. If she doesn’t talk to a therapist, she will find another guy to talk to instead. My ex chose the latter.

This game is tied at 4. It’s the first game in the DS this year where that has happened.

Maybe you should watch Banana Ball instead
Yeah, you’re right. The Divisional series has a combined .181 avg for the 8 teams and a slugging percentage of .299. Absolutely garbage hitting, and it starts with the approach at the plate.
Banana ball guys are probably content with a bloop single or double down the line.
And when did you guys get so elementary with these retorts? yOu DoNt LiKe sHiTTy hItTiNg aND aBuLLpen DuEl?? Yeah man, instead of wanting the MLB to improve its product I should just watch Banana Ball. Former players critical of gameplay should do the same, right?

Playoffs have been outstanding so far. Go watch the Savannah Bananas if you need high scoring, you’d probably like all the guys twerking too
Yeah man, you roasted me with that one.
I just like seeing the ball put in play more, action on the basepaths.

Game 7 of the 1991 Series is considered an all time great game.
Of course it is. You also had two HoFers dueling in a 10 innings game 7.
I stand by my comment. I absolutely love baseball, but this current style of game play isn’t going to attract new fans. Here are some stats that are telling…
-White Sox struck out 19 times yesterday. I’m a Guardians fan, and stoked they won, but analytics render 19 Ks boring.
-Putting the ball in play goes against analytics, but the top three teams in batting average have all advanced to the LCS
-the Yankees had 12 hits over a 3 game series
You can do a deep dive into this stuff, but the analytical nature of the game is lowering the entertainment value. I’m afraid it won’t change until we see something drastic, like bumping the rubber back a few inches.

The All-Star Game has become a bore. It’s fresh arms parading in throwing straight fire for an inning. Props to the pitchers, but the 3-2 and 2-1 type games can only be fun for so long. The most runs any team has scored in the divisional round is 5. The Wild Card round had a couple of games where a team put some runs on the board, but the opposition was dominated, a one sided affair if you will.
With the way bullpen-type games are becoming the norm in MLB, will we see majority low-scoring games for the rest of October?

Owners are in real estate now. They don’t give a shite about fans. You’ll still show up, and instead of tailgating, you’ll hang out at some giant patio venue and hand your money to the organization instead of chill in a parking lot.
Sad, but true for everyone.

Not sure about that. I was on those ESPN boards in the early 2000’s. You didn’t have trolling down to an art yet.

We are in a world where reactions are instantaneous and results are expected asap.
Fans are paying top dollar to attend games, and big donors are shelling out more than ever to fire, hire, and sign. There’s no loyalty at all.
Of course it’s more toxic than ever. They created an environment where it’s title or bust.

I realize it will never be the same, as some things are irreplaceable, but I’d start here. A nice plot of land with a large home and $75K vehicle would be a nice way to open the conversation.
ETA: this is truly scary, as it could happen to anybody given that level of incompetence.

Looks like fun. Enjoy. I’ve wanted to get to more NHL games, and Buffalo is a place that looks fun. I do, however, have a piece of brick from The Aud that I snatched during demolition lol

Just so you know. Nobody in the big ten likes Ohio state and if Ryan Day died on his way into that hospital to see these kids, nobody would really care.
Just curious, since you are in the know, why does everyone dislike him?

Thats nice but if he truly cares he should send 3% of his money to the kids parents. That would be more heartfelt and helpful.
I’m sure he donates a chunk of change somewhere, as do most coaches I presume. If he made an announcement that he did, you would call him a self-serving attention seeker.

It’s on Ohio State letterhead, mentions Ohio State twice at the beginning of the letter, and signs off with a Go Bucks! Maybe I’m an a-hole, but maybe a letter to sick kids should be a little less about Ohio State?
You guys are insufferable. It was a nice gesture. Maybe it is a form letter. That’s still probably one step more than what lots of schools do.
And you’re bitching about the choice of letterhead and wording? For frick’s same you guys are miserable.
