Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Tough to watch a guy not swing the bat in the last at bat but hitting is really hard. Butt pucker is a real factor in sports. I don’t say this as a slight to our guy because one dude doesn’t make or break the game but damn swing the bat or take the pitches but 2 check swings to end the season is bru...

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
When my boys went to play at Cooperstown at age 12 the teams were told that every effort was made to play games even if that meant being woken up at 3:00 am to play. Thank goodness that didn’t happen as us parents would have had to be there to watch.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
One aspect of this whole thing that I just thought about is this- most minor league sports aren't very good in general. Ultimately there are only the same pool of pro sports players worth paying to watch. I've enjoyed the NBA more mainly because I can bet on the games now. Even the best college foot...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
So now will coaches need to take a lawyer with them on a recruiting visit to help negotiate the money aspect? Are those 3 star guys we typically sign going to demand money we can't pay? Will our tickets double in price? If that happens no need to expand the stadium as 20k will be the norm. Just let ...

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
It will be very interesting to see how the formula determines the amount to pay a Field Hockey player who played at Maryland in 2017 (random sport that doesn't really generate money). Are all of these former athletes going to get a $10,000 check? How on earth do G5's not revert back to a glorified F...

Re: 2024 Baseball Mega Thread
Agree that it's insane to even consider the 7th place team from a conference who also flamed out in their tournament. Guess the key is schedule tough mid week games and throw your starter. How many of those teams they beat threw their best pitchers on a Tuesday night?

Has any team won the tournament after going to the Loser Bracket? You really have to go all in game 1.

Re: ESPN Top 10 G5 that can make playoffs
For Panthers fans, seems like a logical question given they are terrible and understand losing on a regular basis. The question seems illogical for me as an App. St. fan as App. St. has always or almost always been good, very good to great as my time as a fan (mid 90s). As such, my thought process ...

Re: ESPN Top 10 G5 that can make playoffs
I've asked this question before as it relates to (mainly the Panthers as I'm trying to hang on with them) but would you, as a fan take a Super Bowl win if you knew you would go 5-12 the next 5 years? As an App fan would you take a trip to the CFP if you knew it would result in a 50-7 blowout loss fo...

Clempson Tickets
Just looking ahead. I'm trying for two (maybe 3 if my rising App senior son needs one) tickets for the Clemson game. Our best friends son just got accepted to the program at Clemson for the special needs folks. Needless to say we are all very excited for our special young man. I'm hoping to secure s...

Re: G5 Poll
I would give Chase a slight nod over Joey but would happily amend that after the season. Both have exceptional arm talent, but Chase is/was a bit more polished the Joey. That’s understandable as Chase had more reps at the FBS level. An unpopular opinion I know, but I can’t put AE in this conversati...

Zero chance in the post season with no bullpen. Those games won't be 12-11.

Re: ESPN Top 10 G5 that can make playoffs
I think the days of talking about a team dropping off due to graduations is over. The free agent portal can be a quick fix if you have an established program. All you sometimes need is 5-6 quality players
