That’s a good question. It seems there’s always been a zone at which the chances of landing a prospect, on either side (school or MLB), fall off. When colleges secure one of these players who go the less expected route after being drafted in a high round (Beede, Alvarez for example) it can be a rea...

There’s got to be a way to handle this whole commit/draft/sign process that treats the colleges more fairly. That's not really MLB's problem, and I think the 3 year wait if they don't sign out of high school is a huge gift to the colleges. The way it is set up now, if your recruits are drafted in t...

Would also suggest that many of the reasons leading an athlete to choose ND would also apply to VU .

Kids. What are you gonna do?

Drink heavily until they turn about 25.

I had seen this from SDS previously, but didn’t bother posting here. It sheds a little more light on why the AG believes there is legal merit to threaten suit. Of course, I agree with the sentiment that he should have more important things to tend to. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tennessee-foo...

Perhaps like most of us commadore is still in the denial stage of grief.

Or a decent PA / sound system.

This is not "slap on the wrist" territory; need to be serious cosequences. Any incoming (2023 frosh) need to be allowed a freebie , no conseqence transfer. Fitzgerald has to have known of this and should be on the streets.

Excellent !

Have to go with Wake. Suspect I have more in common with their fanbase as to life philosophies, priorities, etc.

Personally, I would extend an offer to both and see what happens !

Got crushed like a Waring Blender (apology to Linda Ronstadt). LSU wins 5-0. OT: Waring Blenders still exist and are pretty much only for commercial use by restaurants and are priced accordingly. My favorite old game show prize from the 1970's? Tell them what they won Jay Stewart!! A year supply of...

The WNBA has never shown a...

Skankey is a power mad dictator trying to kiss the butts of the top conference powers.

I'm likely crazy, but, looking at the big picture and a real shortage of offensive talent, maybe we were lucky to have as good a season as we did. We are in the bottom tier of the SEC in most offensive statistics and our LOB numbers seemed bad to me. Who is our hitting coach and should we be shoppin...

Maybe the umps are down in the Village having a beer.

Can that be reviewed? You’d think we would have? Reilly was standing on the mound yelling it didn’t hit him.

Up to coaches to do their job ?

Oh hell yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
