  1. So you’re saying you still can’t spell Citrus without UT?
  2. And still “first team out” unless: Auburn upsets Bama or LSU upsets ou AND Tech wins the Big 12 CCG (I think Tech is a lock if they make the CCG and Big 12 steals a 2nd bid if they get upset).
  3. No. But I don’t know how much you can hang your hat on what a team was ranked when you played them. dumb argument to puff your chest over a win against a top 5 Clemson or Penn St from September, for example. Us, Indiana, and Georgia are the only teams that have won 2 against current top 10. We’re the only team that could end the regular season with 3 wins against the current top 10. Only 6 teams have played at least 4 teams currently in the top 16. Us, South Carolina (5) Wisconsin (4), Auburn (4), Florida (4), LSU (4).
  4. Yeah. Tennessee over Vandy in Knoxville is very doable. LSU win at OU Sat afternoon would be nearly on par with 2001 OK State over ou (also a 2:30 kickoff the Saturday afternoon after T-Day in Norman) that back doored us in to the Big 12 CCG that year. sucks that it takes us having the same record as two teams we beat before we can jump them but here we are
  5. Yeah if we wanted any shot, they needed to have us ahead of more than just two 2 loss teams (Michigan and UVA) after last week, not behind seven 2 loss teams. we’ll jump now 2 loss Ga Tech and now 3 loss USC this week, but would have been nice to have been right behind vandy last week instead of on Tuesday. And for Utah to have been a spot or two lower last week.
  6. 4th in MLB in HRs in 2025.
  7. What happened
  8. always has been. serves the double bonus of schools partaking in it rising through the rankings for doing nothing half the month (bye + cupcake) while everyone is in a war of attrition. Would like to think that’s not as important now with the cfp committee but it absolutely is. I’d bet Texas is several spots higher than 17 if they lose to Georgia on Oct 25 or Nov 1 than Nov 15.
  9. Wherever the new world order of college football settles, it needs to outlaw the SEC using the month of November for Cupcake U. All schools have an actual bye during November and then a de facto bye on another weekend. Half of the month with nearly all of your conference playing nothing of significance is terrible for a number of reasons. Surprised ESPN hasn’t squashed this by now (I guess they partly did with the 9 game conference schedule next year. I haven’t looked at how many schools will still have a cupcake out of conference game in November vs doing them all in September.
  10. Win 1 fucking home game son and I were first row for game 5 when Altuve hit that clutch 3 run homer and inability to win a home game ruined what would have been an all-time top 5 sports memory for me
  11. Something about that picture had me thinking Corky from Life Goes On, but that tweet works too
  12. pretty obvious what was coming if they looked to the sidelines
  13. Yeah. This definitely makes things a lot clunkier…. even for just Sunday night baseball alone as referenced above
  14. Sunday night baseball will be on NBC (and Peacock and their NBC Sports channel) EXCEPT when NBA or NFL have existing rights/agreements…. Which are back half of April until end of NBA regular season in May. And then the last three weeks of September when NFL starts. In those cases, Sunday night baseball will be on Peacock and NBC Sports Network
  15. During the term of the agreement, ESPN will be able to offer fans in-market games for the select MLB teams whose games are being produced and distributed by the league through the ESPN app. Fans will have the ability to purchase these subscriptions either independently, as part of a bundle with MLB.TV, or as part of a package with ESPN’s app. For the 2026 season, the local in-market streaming products will continue to be available through MLB’s platforms. Note that MLB Network will continue to be available to fans purchasing an MLB.TV subscription and will remain available to fans through linear packages and a standalone direct-to-consumer offering. but yeah, as said above, if you’re out of market for the mariners (or the other 5), your option is to buy mlb.tv same as today (except now you’ll have to go through espn to do it).
  16. This is probably going to suck for me. For the better part of a decade, I’ve used a dns service to get local teams through mlb.tv but when using that service, espn never works. Hopefully I can find another solution when the dust settles. But only being distributed through espn blows. here’s the summary on the new deals today: Major League Baseball completed new three-year media rights agreements with ESPN, NBCUniversal, and Netflix. ESPN will pay approximately $550 million annually for rights including 30 national games and MLB.TV distribution. NBCUniversal will pay around $200 million a year for Sunday Night Baseball and all four Wild Card series. (First time for NBC to carry MLB baseball since 2000 when the final play of the ALCS was Rivera getting a 6-3 groundout against Edgar Martinez (with Bellinger’s dad in LF) Netflix will pay around $50 million a year for rights to air a single game on the season’s opening night, as well as the Home Run Derby and the annual “MLB at Field of Dreams” game.
  17. What the hell is a Cameron Heide?
  18. Dubya on Manningcast. It’s like he’s doing an impression of Will Ferrell. So good
  19. I’ve got CFP-RSVP options on Oregon, Texas Tech, and Miami bought late September. so i guess rooting for one of those to offset the bath I’m taking on UT
  20. Down 8 spots to 18 in the coaches, down 7 to 17 in the AP. https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll
  21. I found it surprising today was only the 6th time there has been a 300+ yard rusher in SEC history
  22. yeah he started his postgame with Craig talking about how UGA was ready to punt before the officials stopped play to review the spot. no ownership of his staff getting completely pantsed from that point forward after the refs signaled ready for play after the review.
