    Marcello has a good article on Palmeiro...

    out of the HOF if you compare apples-to-apples. Playing with a hangover affects every part of a player's game... not just how far he can hit a ball. Think how many more HR's MM would have hithe hadn't drank so much. In the end, which counts for more... a run scored via a HR or a run not scored...

    I get the vacating wins and the 60 million. The rest is wrong.

    PSU's fanbase is akin to Bama's. They can double their ticket prices and they'd still sell out every game over the next two years. (And you've already surpassed the$60M mark right there!)

    NCAA Penalties: $60 Million, 4 yr post season, 10 scholly reduction for 4 years

    thatIF there's NO attrition, i.e. injuries, transfers, academic casualties, a couple of large graduating classes, quitters, etc. ...PSU, could be anywhere from 20 to 40 (or so)scholarship players under the maximum limit at the end of the four years. (There are a lot of variables here.) Hope it...

    Auburn Alt. Helmet

    It'd be hard for a defense to see... and the refs, the TV cameras, etc.

    OT: what's up with this heat?

    (17 days) of temps over 100 degrees F, and that was just a few years after the "looming ice age" news had broken. (1980 Heat Wave) High temp records (at least for the last 100 years or so) are being set... most by one or two degrees... in cities of concrete, black top, and little green space...

    The sound of the new college bats

    Having worked a couple of stints on MDOT road crews, I know.

    OT: Student Loans

    and I mean brutally. (Many DINK couples fail to objectively analyze their budget once the family starts expanding.) This means that one of you MAY have to quit work andstay at home with the childrenIN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY. What? Yep. On average (and your situation my be better or worse), a...

    I love baseball- but all this "integrity of the game" BS is ridiculous

    substances(that were/are legal)and behaviors. For instance: Think how much better Mantle (and some of his teammates) would have been if they hadn't played so many games with hangovers.Which is worse: a steroid user hitting a homerun or a hungover player not hitting a homerun? (Mantle admitted...

    Aw man, I missed the dumbest rules in sports thread before it was locked.......

    Shaq catching the ball 10 feet from the basket, bulldozing the defender with his (Shaq's) big rear to the goal, then turning anddunking. Remember the NHL when the joke was, "I went to a fight last night..... and a hockey game broke out."? It took Gretzky and his free-flowing, "avoiding contact"...

    Per the CL article about Cohen linked at the top...

    Moving the fences isn't gonna help us win any more games. It's all about the players. Maybe my memory is fading, but I thought the center-field fence distance was over 400' in the late 70's/early 80's.

    OT: Never Forget

    near Water Valley. I'm not sure if they were related or not. Here's are two links to familysearch.org. These havethe date of death as June 16, 1944 ... but, sometimes, on the genealogical sites, the data is not entered properly...

    How does Miami aviod an SEC team.

    Which is why I'm a tad-bit surprised the Longhorns weren't chosen.
