  1. Sticking with this.
  2. How do we feel about this
  3. That would’ve been fun
  4. The Harper prediction is bananas
  5. Gotta save money for Choo..fml
  6. Smyly had some promise earlier in his career but now he’s obviously a lottery ticket
  7. We’re not going to be ranked high in the farm rankings, but we have some interesting guys in the system. Lots of promising, but risky, pitchers and pure athletes. Much of our highly touted farm system from a few years ago is in the majors now (Profar, Maz, Gallo, even Odor). Hope is that a new manager can flip a switch.
  8. Put this in the Louvre
  9. Harper to Philly, Machado and Corbin to Yankees, Keuchel to Reds, Pollock to Astros Bumgarner traded to Milwaukee. Beltre retires. Arenado gets extended
  10. We win out and lose a heartbreaker to OU in the big 12 championship. Aggy creams themselves. After upsetting Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, we are a consensus top 5 team going into 2019 with Ehlinger among the preseason Heisman favorites. Lincoln Riley goes to the Cowboys, Kyler plays baseball and OU enters the dark ages for the next decade
  11. Elvis declined to use his opt-out. He’ll be back next year (has another opt-out option next year) Only free agents now are Beltre, Bartolo, Gallardo and Tony Barnette.
  12. Biggest game for this team since when? 2013 Baylor? Im still sick from Saturday night but we still control our own destiny. Gonna be a long week though.
  13. And so begins the offseason of Bryce and Manny...
  14. Hubbs is the Yankees writer for Barstool and he does podcasts with Dallas Braden (the water bottle guy) and their Red Sox writer. They forced him to go to these games after they lost to Boston in ALDS. Pretty funny actually
  15. Happy for Ian and Mitch today. They’re finally champs.
  16. My mind starting running this morning over realignment so I put something together that I thinks makes the most sense geographically while maintaining current rivalries and regional cultures. I ended with 4 conferences with 18 teams each, or 8 divisions with 9 teams each. I tried to put at least one "blue blood" in each division. There are currently 64 teams in the P5 conferences so 8 teams needed to be added - Notre Dame, BYU, UCF, USF, Boise State, Colorado State, UConn, and Cincinnati. Figured each team would play 10 conference games (8 divisional + 2 cross-divisional). Each conference champ would be guaranteed a spot in what would hopefully be a 8 team playoff. Atlantic Coast Conference North Division - Boston College, Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse, UConn, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest South Division - Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Miami, NC State, North Carolina, South Carolina, UCF, USF The North Division consolidates all the northeast schools and adds Penn State whose alumni base is concentrated on the East Coast (Philadelphia, NYC, DC) rather than the Midwest. The South Division trades Georgia Tech for South Carolina to make the respective in-state rivalries divisional games. UCF and USF are added to consolidate with the other two Florida schools. Midwest Conference East Division - Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia West Division - Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Missouri, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Purdue, Wisconsin The East Division consolidates regional basketball rivals Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, and Louisville and maintains the Michigan/Michigan State/Ohio State rivalries. Pitt and WV are added to renew their rivalry. The West Division adds Notre Dame, Iowa State (natural rival with Iowa), and Missouri (natural rival with Illinois) to many of the current Big Ten West teams. Admittedly Notre Dame would not be wild about joining this group of teams, but too bad. Western Conference East Division - Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Colorado, Colorado State, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Utah West Division - Boise State, Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington State The East Division is easily the worst from a football perspective, but it consolidates a bunch of current and former rivals. Nebraska is added to renew rivalries with KU/KSU/Colorado. BYU is added to create a rivalry game with Utah for 4 in-state rivalries within the division. The West adds Boise State who have a semblance of rivalries with the current pacific northwest teams. Southeast Conference East Division - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt West Division - Arkansas, Baylor, LSU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech The East Division adds Georgia Tech to renew historical rivalries with UGA and Auburn. The West Division takes the Texas and Oklahoma teams and adds former SWC rival Arkansas and cultural fit, LSU. The UT/Aggy game gets back on the schedule and Aggy gets to play divisional games against actual rivals.
  17. Nunez dies again!!
  18. Ok if the dodgers don’t score here I’m calling it a night
  19. Machado now has a -.340 WPA which is the worst of any player today
