That was the last time I bet on a individual sporting event (as opposed to MM). Right before halftime, someone bet me $5 the Hawks would blow it. "No way!" I said. "That money is as good as mine." And then...not so much. I still feel responsible.

About halfway through the second half, I started fast-forwarding (the first arrow on Mediacom TiVo...double time, probably). Would go to real time for a bit, watch, see the same 'ol same 'ol...ff again..go back to real time. Probably went RT for good at about 3 minutes left to see if they kept...

Hard to legitimately argue the ref felt threatened when he moved closer to Fran. I think it's a worse look when the assistants all have to move to restrain Fran. That looks like he can't control his emotions and is intended to be more threatening...like he thinks he's Juwan Howard or something.

I thought this was his emotions in check. He kept his mouth shut. What's the ref gonna do? "But he was looking at me!!" I liked when the ref stepped closer after Fran did. Maybe the guys loosened up without him in the huddle and seeing what he was doing. They definitely played differently after...

Great points. Plus, if I'm reading the stats right, last year was the lowest league-wide batting average since 1968. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/bat.shtml Of course, I'm biased...the most enjoyable thing in baseball for me was always watching Tony Gwynn wear out pitchers...

If this contract had teeth and said BF would be fired for not meeting scoring target...I'm picturing the last game of the season with BF needing one more touchdown to make his goal. Cooper is back to receive a punt with seconds left, takes it, turns the corner with nothing but green in front of...

Ditch the verbal and add a couple more signing days? That would only work for us if schools AND collectives (other than those associated with the committed school) were prohibited from contact with players who have signed a LOI. Otherwise, the poaching would still occur and our staff would let...

More concerning is, as someone else mentioned on one of the threads, it's not necessarily losing the 5* that is the worst part because there will always be a decent chance they go elsewhere in the end. The concern is who do you miss out on because of the 5* who verbals. The other poster...

Absolutely. That day was most enjoyable.

The 2007 Appalachian State Mountaineers say hi https://www.si.com/longform/appstate/index.html

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I just saw that On3 actually has a tab on player profiles that 'calculates' their NIL value. https://www.on3.com/db/cade-mcnamara-16629/nil/ I wonder if it works like Carvana...

Tate was more fiery and visibly held other players accountable more than any other QB in recent memory, Beathard was the last gunslinger and Stanzi...well, he was the Manzi. It never looked like the other players ever thought they were out of a game with Ricky in there...like they just expected...

It is, because you said no option, which means 0. Any number greater than 0 means you're wrong. Don't speak in absolutes and you won't have this problem. Beyond, whatever you have to tell yourself to feel better.

The number is irrelevant. There are options. If you want to say those options aren't so great for a majority of players, I would agree. But you are the one who said there are no options and you're wrong...

And as much as we talk about foul calls balance out, go both ways, etc., tagging Wisc for the flagrant 1 on Rebraca's chin music would have affected the dynamics of the game. That kid probably would have had to play a little differently the rest of the game. That's bigger than simply picking up...

Let me remind you what you said: "If a student wants to play college basketball (getting paid or not), the only option is to play for an NCAA school at that level, which would all be subject to those rules under your scenario." You're wrong, but thanks for playing.

Show me where I said that. Like I said, why don't you stick to points people are actually trying to make and what they actually say instead of making up arguments so you can regurgitate the same stuff you've said a thousand times already.

I can't tell if you didn't read what I wrote, didn't understand what I wrote or were just looking for an excuse to spew your opinions. First, I'll be the arbiter of what I'm doing since, well, I'm the one doing it. Second, I never said there was a direct comparison or correlation between...

This happens all the time in the job world. Hey potential employee with specialized skills, here is what we will pay and your contract will have a non-compete clause. That clause will have a time period after which it is non-enforceable (sit out a year after transferring). The real question...
