re: NHL expansion to Texas??

What would the Austin NHL team be called?


Armadillos
Javelinas
Roughnecks
Weirdos
Pit Bosses
Texas Flood



Air miles:

Milwaukee to Athens - 5418
Miami to Athens - 5861.2

Carolina used to be Falcons country until the Panthers came along


Actually it was big time Redskins country.
If Bulls, why not build the ballpark in Durham and promote the Durham Bulls to MLB? It’s a cool, established brand. Could be like the Packers of MLB, despite the city being a major player in the fast growing Triangle metro area.

Fun Carolina / MLB acquisition trivia:

In 1998, the Minnesota Twins looked at (or used as leverage for a new ballpark) relocating to the Carolinas with Kernersville, NC being the destination city. Kernersville is located between Winston-Salem and Greensboro.

If MLB expands and adds a team, where should they put it in your opinion?


Portland, Salt Lake City, Austin, Nashville, and either Charlotte or Raleigh. Moving the White Sox to Charlotte makes sense.
quote:

Seattle metropolitan is 4x the size of Raleigh metropolitan. They had 1 million at their victory parade for America’s most popular sport. Raleigh, 1/4 of the size, had 150k for America’s 4th most popular sport. I’d say it’s fairly proportional.


What about OKC, which is smaller than the Triangle?
I’ll quickly look at the # of stars it has on Apple Maps. Anything over 4 is good. I travel a lot, and stick to certain hotel chains. I typically focus on an area, compare prices, then lastly check the rating before pulling the trigger. I usually select Hilton or Marriott properties first due to rewards status. Typically Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, etc. After those, Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Inn, and La Quinta with high ratings. IHG is usually good, Choice is all over the place, but they brand their quality tiers with different names, with Comfort being at the nice end. Wyndham can be sketchy, but the newer La Quintas seem to be solid.

They just had over 100k show up in downtown Raleigh for the Hurricanes Stanley Cup parade this morning.


That a lousy figure.

Knicks ‘26 - 2,000,000
Seahawks’26 - 1,000,000
Thunder ‘25 - 500,000
Panthers ‘25 - 400,000
Dodgers ‘25 - 250,000
Hit Sleeping Bear Dunes on way up. Lots of cool towns along Lake Michigan between there and Mackinaw City.

On the UP:

- Soo Locks
- Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point
- Tahquamenon Falls
- eat pasties

The Ark is 200 miles away from Bowling Green. It’s located between Cincinnati and Lexington.

I was going to say, I know it’s a generally respected school but I’ve never seen it come close to cracking the top 10 just in the US. Not sure what criteria is being employed here to get them this high internationally.


It has been a regular in the top 25 intl. list for over 20 years. I’m surprised they made a jump to 12.

48k in American Samoa. But are American Samoans American considering it’s an American territory?


Yes.

University of Washington is #12?


It’s mainly due to the medical school. UW med is the state med school for Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

No, you are not based on your Mets - Jets comments.
My answer:

Basketball

Can’t teach height. Jalen Brunson is the true alien, not Windmill Wemby.

Science says he is correct.


Doesn’t make sense. Shouldn’t combat sports that also incorporate boxing, be higher? A boxer doesn’t have to worry about being kickboxed in the face.


And where is the science here? Sports AIDS Disney-ESPN is the opposite of science.

Didn't Obama cut funding to NASA? He was too busy funneling USAID, ACORN, monies to fund riots, think tanks---- trying to destroy America.


Not an Obama guy, he was almost a complete disaster, but he accidentally got this right. NASA is a corrupt, incompetent money suck. It was Obama who first pivoted towards private space, when Bezos and at the time Musk, were on his side.
Damn, I was hoping the Sand Aggies would dig themselves a prairie dog town sized hole over this. I’m guessing the family, not school, is behind this sensible decision.

The Knicks are probably the most underperforming major American sports franchise in history.


Not even in their own market. LOL Jets are far ahead. Many others outside of NY too. Yes, they are a mid franchise, but they aren’t the Clippers.
