My impeccable sources are telling me it's a Done Deal. And he's bringing Brent Schaeffer with him as OC. Natty incoming.

re: Does Tony Vitello stay at Tennessee or coach the SF Giants?

That was the initial version I heard, but then I saw another report clarifying that TV got word that DVH got allocated the women's basketball portion of NIL at Arkansas for his baseball program. TV went to Danny and told him he wanted something similar. Danny didn't budge because of Tenn's history of WBB. So... TV went shopping around. Seems to me like a power play between the two now. If Danny blinks, TV gets some lady vol money and stays, or if TV blinks... hello Giants.

Not a fan of texas being in the league. Every league they've ever been part of they have made worse. They would do it to the SEC as well, but it seems that college football as a whole is doing it to itself with NIL, the portal, and expanding the playoffs until it's essentially a participation trophy...
I loved the12-team league with the divisions and traditional rivalries preserved while making room for the noobs. Now it's just too crowded. Can't make equitable schedules and serve all the desired rivalries. Too many contrived pairings that lack any juice.

We have quite a few really good retro logos such as Slobber Hog and Hog Through the A. I'm just glad OP didn't include Popcorn Snot Hog or Pumba Pig.

Hes perfect for that school.
A world class motivator, and a solid as frick recruiter.
Makes three star players play like 4 stars, and you are guaranteed to be physical. O tasted the pinnacle of CFB and went off the rails, its true.
You're not really that far off. Might actually be a decent fit. That said... the next coach at Arkansas is - first and foremost - going to have to be able to get the Old Guard money folks in the state to step up with NIL support. I'm not sure what they think of O.
The name that seems to make the most sense right now is Rhett Lashlee. Springdale kid. Played at the U of A. Has had decent success at SMU. Young and hungry and not as big a risk to jump at another job if he sees success here. Seems pretty polished and should be able to work the whole state to get donors to pay for the program.

Yeah but in those 21 years, some really fun games were played. I've missed it.

Texas with OU, A&M and Akry???
Yes, we call this the SWC pod.
OU has never played a down in the SWC.
Would prefer Old Miss over Missouri, but it's not bad. Would also like to see LSU moved to Thanksgiving weekend again. It was always such a great way to end the season.

1978 orange bowl against Oklahoma
First game I ever saw in person. Roland Sales held the rushing record for over 30 years.
Second game I ever saw in person was 42-11 vs texass in Fayetteville in 1981.
Great games I'd easily re-live include Miracle on Markham, Miracle on Markham 2.0, 1998 Kentucky in WMS, 1999 tennessee in Fayetteville, 2021 texass in Fayetteville, LSU in WMS in 2010, texass in WMS in 1991 when their kicker missed about a dozen kicks and an extra point.

Can't pick one....

1981 texas at Arkansas - Hogs whip horns 42-11
Miracle on Markham

Yeah they are gonna pitch around him something fierce
You're probably right, but the Royals actually have some people in the lineup who can protect him a bit. Sandwich him in there behind Bobby Witt Jr and ahead of Vinny and Salvy, teams may not be able to pitch around him. I'm really excited about a lineup with Maikel Garcia at the top, with Bobby, Cags, Vinny, and Salvy following him. If we get ANY production at all from John Rave, Freddy Fermin, Michael Massey or Izzy, we could start scoring runs to go with our incredible pitching.
quote:
Any talk on fielding position yet? 1B or OF?
1B is reserved for the immobile ones - Pasquantino and Salvy. Cags has been working with Rusty Kuntz on playing OF. Most likely he will play right. Move Rave to the other corner maybe. Izzy in CF.
BTW - maybe it's coincidence, but KC area B&B Theaters are all opening their doors and showing the next 3 games on their big screens. Royals fans are PUMPED.

I won't watch any game that includes Vandy. Can't enjoy it with that turd constantly whistling. If they're playing the Hogs, I must watch on mute.

If you say so but I find that hard to believe.
I'd say earning an automatic bid via winning the tournament would have indeed made a difference. It's moot now, however.

re: Just eliminate the check swing please
Posted by BenHOGan1 on 4/30/25 at 4:19 pm to Rohan Gravy
quote:
A real example comparable to yours above would be a batter faking to swing and then bunting the ball
The other way around... a player squaring to bunt and then taking a huge hack at the last second is not only legal, but it's even got its own name... The "Butcher Boy." It's a great -and legal - way for a batter to draw in the corners and then try to dump a ball into the outfield.
The whole point is that the OP has a flawed and ridiculous problem with the current check-swing rule. What's wrong with the umpires (plate and corners) being able to discern whether the batter's actions constituted a swing as defined by the rules? Sure they get some wrong, but that's the way it goes.
