  1. Tomorrow at 10. others pushed back an hour.
  2. Here we go. Gonna be interesting to see if Honeycutt can drag the Tarheels along with him.
  3. Beat me to it. FLA guy also seems unlikely, no dick discipline. UNC is homeboy like FSU. UK Mingione (sp?) I guess is possible. Leaves Tenn and aggy. Vitello or Schloss. Or an assistant of someone. Or the whole thing's just fluid. Not piss, but could be colonoscopy prep.
  4. I'm thinking we can bring in some Nigerians and replace "Leg before wicket" with "Assegai up jacksey"...
  5. Wasn't Jefferson the guy who said "Seventy-six per cent of all statistics are made up"?
  6. The knob-slobbing over aggy assistant Max Weiner makes it seem like he might be in play... would be a helluva stretch, but if Schloss pitches him to CDC it seems like a definite possibility.
  7. Heads up projection is the only way to go.
  8. True. But given the relationship stories, not impossible. On the other hand, it seems like Schloss would at least be willing to opine to Del Conte on the guys who are within reason. It may be Tony V. or it may be someone else, but under the circumstances it almost has to be one of the guys at Omaha.
  9. Talent in the WHOOP cap...
  10. Hell, yah. You know, just being in the SEC should add a good ten wins next year. I mean, even if we keep our coach.
  11. At whatever level, the inside-outside call is touchy. Umps set up in the slot over the catcher's shoulder (inside) and only see "perfectly" on that side. The outside ball is harder to call. High and low changes from batter to batter, depending on stance, and the high side is - I think the rules still say - armpit to top of knees. These days, anything much hogher than belt is not going to get you a strike, but a lot of umps will call a strike at mid-knee or even a little below. And don't forget, it's where the ball is when it crosses the plate, not necessarily when it passes the batter, who may be at the front or back of the box and close to the plate or back from it. Knowing the particular ump's tendencies, and figuring out as you go, what he's gonna call is part of the game. Again - the best thing is to have consistency. I don't care if he gives an extra bit outside or low or whatever, as long as he does it every time.
  12. What ever happened to "maggie"?
  13. As a once-upon-a-atime pitcher, I can confirm that the best you can hope for is consistency. Well-called? Yeah, good luck with that. Nah, that was overly flippant. Really, what you want is to get that pitch called a ball or a strike in that same place every time. My take is that most umps miss the outside more often than inside, but high-low is peculiar to the given ump. One of the most important things needed to get your call is to hit the mitt. I like the catcher "framing" that ball, but putting it in that pocket is the best way.
  14. The WR room is packed to the rafters. Gonna be hard to get everyone the playing time they deserve. Although... we could rotate 3 guys play-for-play and run pure vertical every snap at the opponent's CB until his ass is dragging and he just can't keep up any more. Then deep ball. Profit.
  15. PM Now This New motto?
  16. What's it gonna take to convert Tony from Maseratis to Lamborghinis?
  17. I'd bet there might be one or two... they're just not here too. Love seeing the ump come out to tell the Heels to hurry it up...after having the umps take over a half hour to swap out the plate ump.
  18. I reckon. Vols looking strong...
  19. WTF? Nothing for 25 min? Borkage?
  20. SPLOTCH of eye-black on the wall.
  21. Fuck yeah. Stopping it at all was *****, but throwing him out from his knees... damn.
  22. Well... it would be, if not for your obvious moronicity. It was merely an observation.
  23. I almost didn't respond, because I have a dislike for making fun of morons. But you deserve it.
  24. Ackshully, you can make it up... but nobody would believe it.
  25. Seems like all done except for the announcement. As others have said, CDC likely wants to make the "fired" and the "hired" close together. We may hope.
