re: Women's College World Series | Sunday
Posted by cubbynole on 6/1/25 at 4:51 pm
I’m curious if this play had been APPEALED rather than reviewed, what the outcome might have been. Don’t know the differences with baseball and softball rules, but in baseball, a missed touch of a base is an appeal play. The home plate umpire SHOULD have been looking for the touch and everything, but they cannot make a call, the defensive team would have to appeal.

CFB needs to just drop a bye week and wrap it up at New Years. Based on this year's calendar:
Week 1 - weekend of August 30
Week 13 (rivalry weekend) - weekend of November 22
Conference championship games weekend of November 29
1st round games December 5 and 6 (one Friday night game)
2nd round games December 12 and 13
Semifinals December 20
CFP New Years Day
All playoff games aside from the championship are on campus.

Cfb encroached on the NFL’s territory here. The NFL has played Saturday games in mid-late December for decades.
I’m not trying to defend the NFL as a pure, selfless entity. The NBA ruled Christmas Day, and the NFL has clearly shown how much it cares about that in recent years. And when NYD is a Sunday, the NFL has always won that battle, with the cfb bowls being on 01/02.
But cfb chose it was worth it to have its first-round games at a day/time when the NFL has traditionally played. We’ll see if that lasts.
This. Not to mention, all of the non-campus playoff sites, aside from the Rose Bowl (who hasn't hosted a championship since the BCS era), host NFL teams who don't want scheduling conflicts for potential home playoff games.

ALabama FSU isn't a great matchup. Maybe when it was scheduled and based on name recognition, but FSU is dreadfully bad
A battle of schools that lost to Duke and Vanderbilt last year!

yep, and he had 3 with the Cubs - 1 at Wrigley. Dude hit more 345 foot outs than I care to remember last season.

the LF well at Wrigley really impacted Paredes in his time with the Cubs. So many warning track flyouts with that 355 LF line, makes since he would see improved numbers with the Crawford boxes in his home stadium.

re: Best and Worst Airports in US
Posted by cubbynole on 5/7/25 at 12:59 pm
Regarding DEN, and it’s been a few years since I’ve been through there so it may have changed, but I always liked that you never had to worry about changing concourses there for connections. Delta and Southwest were in C. United was in B. Everybody else was in A. Connecting there was easy, now arriving and departing were diasters because the airport is basically in Nebraska and TSA could be ridiculous.

The CSX traffic is the big issue. Purely anecdotal, knew someone that took the train from Pensacola to New Orleans early 2000s, pre Katrina, was supposed to leave Pensacola mid-morning and get to New Orleans mid-afternoon (nearly 6 hours vs a 3 hour drive), train was delayed and didn't leave Pensacola until just after noon and they didn't arrive in New Orleans until around 1 AM.

as a Cubs fan, I'm happy with our record at this point considering MLB gave us 20 games (7-8 so far) vs LA, SD, AZ in March/April.

I feel it will be 3:30, LSU/Clemson in prime time and I don’t think ESPN/ABC wants to compete with itself but putting FSU/Bama on ESPN vs the other on ABC.

They're doing a farewell episode week 1, August 30
LSU @ Clemson
Texas @ Ohio State
Bama @ Florida State
I'm guessing it would be one of those 3. Ohio State is where the headgear tradition was born. Florida State is Corso's alma mater. So both of those game sites would have an extra sentimental angle.
I feel Bama@FSU is a longshot, but if they slot it as a noon game and allow Gameday to finish with Corso planting the spear...that would be pretty cool.

The 22 year old on that boat might have been5-10 and 130 pounds soaking wet.
That charter boat captain and his crew looked like the 'roids types.
So if you're big, you aren't a kid at like 16, but if you're Fauci-sized you're a kid until like 50.

That's kind of where I am. The 22 year old did what he could to deescalate the situation and was rightfully fearful when that maniac jumped aboard his vessel, but I feel like we wouldn't be having this "kid" talk if he was Malik Nabers (21) or Paul Skenes (22).

No doubt. And obviously captain dickhead is the aggressor here, but if I’m a bystander and see two adults in an argument, my urge to step in isn’t nearly the same as if its an adult and an actual child.
