Date Title Body
6 weeks 5 days ago McCaffrey

Would've loved to have had him. Doesn't look like we were that involved, but as a Pens fan and a person with that last name, it would've been awesome to see him in the #87 Legends jersey.

18 weeks 6 days ago Virginia's Prep League

Will never be confused with an elite district in Texas, but it does include FUMA's high school team (not to be confused with their post-grads, but very strong) and Woodberry Forest (Doug Randolph, CJ Prosise, Ed Reynolds, Aramde Olaniyan).

18 weeks 6 days ago As an alumnus of their secondary rival

I'm no friend of Speight's Collegiate Cougars. But I'm so old I can remember when they produced a two-star QB whose only offers were NCSU and Duke, even though he was a two-time Metro POY.

Russell Wilson turned out okay.

23 weeks 5 days ago Also had a great time, all things considered

We were spending NYE in St Pete with friends, and it looked like the Outback looked like a fairly likely proposition for M, so as a hedge I bought a membership in the Bowl itself. I got the lowest level, for about the price of a ticket. It gave me the right to buy four tickets and a parking pass. As soon as it was announced that M was going I called the members ticket line and got right through- got four tickets and a parking pass. It was my first bowl, so forgive me if this is all obvious to bowl vets.

The parking for members was directly across the sidewalk from the gate, and our tickets were on the 10 in the second section of the lower bowl, on the Big Ten side. Not bad, but far from perfect. Couldn't hear the band, and I was as disappointed as everyone else in the video boards and the result. Sitting away from the people who bought their tickets from the University meant there were a lot of very casual fans. Lots of being loud while we were on offense, not enough being loud on D. There was a drunk guy behind me who kept saying "Let's go boobs!" - but that's life. The Sakerlina fans I interacted with were all cool.

The best part was that the lot for members was so convenient that we were out of the lot and on the highway in ten minutes.

The takeaway for me was that since Michigan doesn't have a huge problem selling bowl tickets, that Michigan fans should consider paying a small premium for slightly better seats and a much more convenient logistical experience. Not a must, but something to consider.

30 weeks 21 hours ago ACC Men's Lax- not like the B1G

The ACC plays as a league, and has a conference tournament, there's just no autobid because there aren't six teams. They often all get in to the NCAA tournament anyway.

30 weeks 3 days ago VPISU is a better school than they get credit for

But their engineering school doesn't come close to Michigan's.

30 weeks 3 days ago If we're talking research pooling and the CIC

Then the B1G should add schools that are strong in things like agriculture, education, and applied sciences, where there's lots of federal research money. Like Nebraska, MSU, and UM. Oh, wait.

30 weeks 3 days ago Terrible idea

Both Maryland and Rutgers have major athletic funding problems from facilities projects in the last decade or so. Maryland was having money problems before the Friedgen firing due to the way they structured their basketball stadium financing, and Rutgers is having serious money problems due to their football stadium expansion. Why would the B1G want to do business with these departments, particularly since you can already get the BTN in large portions of their footprints?

1 year 20 weeks ago Agree on a couple points

Yeah, juries probably don't listen to instructions, and the burden is different in civil cases. Doesn't change the nature of what a burden is and is not. The plaintiff still has to be the one to get the jurors up to a preponderance. Maybe it works when allocating liability among multiple defendants (haven't really thought about that since school), but I suspect not.

1 year 20 weeks ago You've missed his point

Each defendant gets a zero baseline, and then the sovereign has to "prove up" each element of a given crime to get a conviction on that charge. That a given proportion of defendants are convicted of a given crime is supposed to have zero bearing on the particular case the juror is hearing. Your way might be an effective method for an observer to use when predicting an outcome, but it's still not the way a juror is supposed to be operating.

1 year 23 weeks ago Thought this thread would be about a Spartan fan

Ripping a sign you were holding.

 

Anyway, the sign made me titter, but then I realized that it was stooping to Sparty's level.

1 year 26 weeks ago It's seriously bizarre

I've now watched Edsall-coached teams twice in person. The first time was my freshman year at a CAA school, where we beat them handily, and it seemed preposterous that they were planning on making the jump to 1-A. Then this season I watched my grad alma mater, an ACC school, beat his Terps handily in College Park. This was ostenibly a rivalry game, and none of the nasty-by-reputation Terps fans even bothered to give me any grief.

That he was able to take a CAA also-ran and turn it into a Big East champion, and then can't manage to generate even token enthusiasm at Maryland is really astonishing. I can't see how this wasn't a disasterous hire both for him and for Maryland.

1 year 26 weeks ago Get. Real.

Neither the refs nor Bettman allowed Staal to score his shorty in Game 4. Neither the refs nor Bettman put Osgood completely out of position on Talbot's second goal in Game 7. And since the Pens had obviously also been to the finals the year before, shouldn't they have been "gassed" as well?

Finally, understand that your thesis requires Gary Bettman to be so competent that he can successfully influence the outcome of a really close SCF.

1 year 27 weeks ago Indeed.

'05-'06 was his rookie season.

And even if he's going to share 66's "fate" he'll win a few Rosses, Harts, Conn Smythes, and at least one more Cup before he's done.

1 year 27 weeks ago Accreditation

Anyone else think that the involvement of senior non-athletic administrators in all of this might really complicate their accreditation? IIRC, Auburn got put on probation for, among other things, the appearance that their president didn't have ultimate authority ofver the athletic department. If the football program's reputation was more important to senior university officials than prevention of violent crimes on campus, and proper federal crime reporting (a big, separate issue), it seems to me they could be in even more trouble than the NCAA or CiC can bring.

1 year 27 weeks ago During that time period we had a car with an AM-only radio

We lived outside of Richmond, and since my family was never going to listen to Rush L. or "The Sounds of Your Life," we listened to a lot of sports talk radio.  Trust me, the people who called in to those shows hated Beamer. It's crazy that he got through that stretch. This is a genuine imponderable.

1 year 27 weeks ago Don't hate the Hokies?

That's easy to cure: all you have to do is meet a few. They watch one game a week, think they are the only school in the country with any traditions, and act like college football started in 1995. A clueless, infuriating bunch.

1 year 27 weeks ago They do hate to be called VaTech

Even though their civilian band (their TAMU-style cadet corps has a band, and they often go to games) has it written on the backs of their idiot uniforms.

1 year 47 weeks ago minor thing

So did his dad go to Morehead State or Morehouse?  Massive difference.

 

At any rate: super-excited about this guy.

2 years 2 weeks ago now he'll have more time to spend

with his hovercrafts.

3 years 4 weeks ago Travel/Varsity

You'll see less and less of this, as fewer and fewer travel coaches let kids play for their schools.

3 years 5 weeks ago true enough

But because newspapers take their credibility for granted, they rarely run retractions, and when they do, they're tucked between the notices for estate sales and the "look who's forty!"s.

This pwns that.

3 years 11 weeks ago Yet another way in which the

Yet another way in which the CAA would make a better 1-A league than the Sun Belt.

3 years 15 weeks ago Correct.

Srsly, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

3 years 15 weeks ago Doesn't Open the tri-state up much at all

For a couple of reasons, which are related:
1. There are way more people walking around the city on the weekend in their Michigan, Wisconsin, ND and Penn State gear than Rutgers gear. Rutgers grads do not care about Rutgers, since culturally they probably wanted to go out of state to a private school.
2. This is even more important: LOTS OF PEOPLE HERE ALREADY GET BTN. I can't emphasize this enough.
3. I'm making this up, but it's truth-y: I bet the cable companies that don't carry BTN would be more likely to cave with the addition of ND than Rutgers.

3 years 20 weeks ago Which isn't to say that ND's

Which isn't to say that ND's recruitment of this kid is anything other than lol-worthy.

3 years 20 weeks ago FWIW

The W&M offer is better than the FAM offer, and the MAC's bottom half is no better than the CAA's top half.
