    Big 10 Dominance

    Haha, not so fast, the SEC just won the NIT championship!*****

    Great question….

    Exactly, pro coaches, college coaches and pro players all have to deal with contracts because they are all working in their professions so they are technically professionals. If players want to be treated as professionals then what we really need are minor leagues for other sports like they...

    Will Wade returning to LSwho?

    While I certainly enjoy watching college sporting events, I don't think anyone can deny that the win at all cost attitude that has consumed most schools is just disgusting. Had always been that way to an extent but since the NIL/transfer portal era has been here nobody even tries to hide it...

    Kentucky survives Santa Clara in OT...

    If you haven't watched the last 10 seconds of regulation go do it. About the wildest last 10 seconds of a game I've ever seen.

    OT: What is your favorite decade of music (or 10 year stretch)? Favorite year?

    Second that. I've often said that the era of the mid-70s through the mid-80s was the Golden Age of music. I thought the Yacht Rock documentary on HBO did a good job explaining why the music created during that timeframe was such high quality and why things sort of went south when MTV became...

    Saturday mornings in the fall won’t be the same.

    Not sure I'm going to know who to bet on without getting Reese's picks on SEC nation. :)

    Baseball suspensions? True??

    Yes, Facebook is an absolute cesspool. So bad I don't even go on it much anymore even though I do like to see updates from friends and family members. Maybe there is a good way to get rid of all the ads and other garbage in the feeds, I just don't know how to do it?

    If we don’t find a closer ….

    There will be times in the SEC when you need to win games 4-3 or 3-2 and we have not really shown the ability to do that so far. But no doubt our offense sucked in 2 of the 3 games this past weekend.

    Instead of playing useless teams like JSU & Alcorn, why not play ECCC & PRCC instead- since they are better at baseball?

    SWAC games lower your RPI because they lower your strength of schedule rating. That is not even debatable. RPI is more about how your opponent's fare and how your opponent's opponents fare than it is about your own W-L results. Heck, why do you think teams routinely cancel late season low RPI...

    If we don’t find a closer ….

    Or block up a ball on a 3rd strike? Asking for a friend. :)

    If we don’t find a closer ….

    Ben Davis should be the closer until someone else can prove they can do it. No, he isn't great for the role but we don't have any other trustworthy relief pitchers. That's why nobody could understand wasting him in a 7-0 ball game. BOC and Parker totally mishandled that and likely cost us game...

    Before the Second Game Yesterday

    Exactly, and one has nothing to do with the other anyway.

    Instead of playing useless teams like JSU & Alcorn, why not play ECCC & PRCC instead- since they are better at baseball?

    It would actually be better to play them. They are probably better competition and they wouldn't count in the RPI.

    3 games this season against SWAC teams is beyond ridiculous. Not sure who the genius was that scheduled that many (hopefully was already done before BOC got here) but they are a waste of time and are hits to the RPI. Two would be more than enough. Look at USM's schedule, they don't play any...
