Why the hell aren't these Yankee hitters challenging some of these strike calls? Judge had a pitch called a strike in both at-bats that was nowhere near a strike. At least not according to the box displayed on the screen.

Other teams talk a big game about pulling back on football to invest in basketball and other sports, I give Arky big props for doing it.
Takes bravery to push against the grain and what most fans want
Maybe 8&5 should take a page from that playbook since they are historically so successful in all their sports.
Tom Pagnozzi has to be up there. Both had 12 year careers. Pags had a MLB lifetime BA of .253, OBP of .299, slugging .359 and OPS of .658. Only 44 HRs though.
McCann had a BA of .242, OBP of .294, .382 slugging and OPS of .676 and 97 HRs.

Maybe until the opposition realized he was like Serrano (not Serraneaux) and he couldn't hit a curve ball.

Not very well. In fact, most likely be embarrassed beyond words.

The flea flicker on the first possession of the second half is what nearly did it to The U. Driving, OM didn't stand a chance and you pull that dumb arse thing out of the playbook.
Why? OM appears to be chugging along just fine with Laney in BR. Or we guess he's in BR. Since he left the bowl game early who knows where he might be.
It makes perfects sense baw. Without QB1 getting injured and Chambliss stepping in, OM is 6-6 or 7-5. Book it.

Here's what I know:
Much like Aggie in 2012 and apparently having no idea what they had with Manziel, the OM starting QB had to get hurt, only to be Wally Pipped by probably the most dynamic QB in the game today. If that had not happened, OM would be at home with a 7-5, 6-6 record and Lane would still be at OM and the average coach he has shown himself to be.
This has really got you LSU baws in a tizzy.

Nah, as bad as I despise both, I'd be an Aggie or 'Horn before a Rebel/Black Bear/Land Shark.

Think it's a legit question. OM, without LSU's boy Lane, beat Tulane about as badly without Kiffin as they did with. BUT, instead of a second half choke job in the rematch, beat UGA which Lane failed to do.
So again, is Lane really "all that" or is Pete Golding as good, or better, than Lane?

How long before a 30 something invokes Right to Work law & sues for the opportunity to play college sports for pay?
Is it legal to limit a persons earning potential to 4-5 years?
I posted something similar to this nearly a year ago. These guys are now professional athletes, i.e. they are paid to play.
Let's take a guy like Pavia who is a VERY good college FB player but not good enough for the NFL or even the CFL. There are teams willing to pay him half a mil a year to play CFB. What's to keep him from playing 7,8, even 10 years? These guys transfer mid year, often more than once. How many credits are they taking with them? Are the credits even accepted or transferrable to their new landing spot?
What if they don't go to class? Why should they? I guess CFB will survive but we all need to recognize it for what it is and that's the equivalent of minor league baseball.

Until the late 80s or early 90s Arkansas played most "home" games in Little Rock at Memorial Stadium. Somehow the word "war" got attached but the official name is Memorial Stadium.
Anyway, Razorback Stadium didn't have lights until the 80s. The first night game played in the stadium was under temporary lights. I was there and it was horrible.
By the early 90s Memorial Stadium (opened in 1948) had become severely dated and Frank Broyles realized Razorback Stadium was going to require a complete makeover as Arkansas transitioned to the SEC. Little Rock games were reduced and now appear to be a thing of the past, though there is talk of possibly playing Arkansas State on occasion.
Went to many games in the LR stadium and saw some great ones. Saw Arkansas beat Southern Cal and Anthony Davis in 1974. Beat an undefeated aTm team 31-6 in 1975 to win the SWC championship. Went on to beat Georgia 31-10 in the '76 Cotton Bowl. Beat an undefeated Houston and Heisman winner Andre Ware in 89.
But one of the best was the last SWC game against Texas in 91. Arkansas was in the doldrums after Ken Hatfield left and Frank hired Jack Crowe. Arkansas led most of the game and Texas score a late TD to make it 14-13. Texas kicker missed the PAT and Arkansas hung on as they exited the SWC.

For those of us old enough to remember those commercials, one could ask the same question about Kiffin and Ole Miss. No difference in the results against the same opponent without the "genius" of Kiffin's coaching.
So coaching, or Jimmies and Joes?
