I don’t think the brick looks bad at all. But when you compare it to the scale and “modernism” of the original renders it looks a little underwhelming.

Good news: apparently construction is finally underway for the new athletics building. Bad news: the new renderings look nothing like the original plans

If the ACC leveraged its success in the NCAA basketball postseason as well as the SEC has its football success, the ACC would probably be looked at as the #2 conference in the country. It’s the best basketball conference with the 2nd most CFB natties since the BCS era. And the only conference...

Dude. The Edge center has been outdated for 10 years. The longer it goes without a renovation the worse off we’re going to be. It’s not just some building on campus or part of the stadium. It’s literally the hub for the entire athletic department. It’s inadequate for what we need it for, and...

The same reasons minor league baseball players fought to unionize. It gives the players power to negotiate, and not just be at the mercy of whoever makes the rules. We (as collective people) will always be stronger together than as individuals. I don’t know what the endgame is for college...

I hate expanded playoffs in all sports. Expanding the playoffs doesn’t give you more meaningful games. It just gives you more games to sell to fans and TV audiences as being important. Being the best team across an entire regular season schedule is more representative of being a “true” champion...

It says revenue. Revenue ≠ profit

I doubt he “wanted out that bad”, it’s more like they probably doubled or even tripled his salary. Dell McGee was making $850k as UGA’s RB coach last year. Crawford was making $250k at Tech last year. Can’t really fault the guy when an opportunity like that comes available.

I don’t think you get what I’m talking about. 12-0 Notre Dame is in the playoff without playing a CCG. 11-1 Notre Dame is more than likely in the playoff without playing a CCG. 10-2 Notre Dame will probably sneak into the playoff some years without playing a CCG. That means Notre Dame plays 12...

Compare Saban’s graduation and arrest rates at Alabama to Kirby’s at Georgia. It’s very clear one of them cares more about the future of his players than the other.

Mike Martin never won the CWS. Bobby Cox is the 4th most winningest manager in MLB history and has 1 WS title. Dusty Baker is the 7th most winningest manager and has 1 WS title Dave Roberts currently has the 3rd best winning % of ALL TIME with 1 WS title, in Covid shortened regular season...

CDH runs the show, with input from Taylor/Ramsey. Unless things have changed drastically this year. Pitching wise, the PC will provide a list of arms who are available and the game situations he feels comfortable using them in. It’s up to CDH who gets hot and when to make changes, probably...

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. My point is that the loser of the CCG is at a disadvantage because they have to play an extra game. Notre Dame not having an opportunity to get a first round bye in the playoff is irrelevant, since they would have to win/play the same number of games as P4...

If you guys are looking at MLB data for the success rates of sac bunts, you obviously have never watched a college baseball game. College is not MLB, especially not in a Tuesday midweek game with a wet field. An error turns into a rally. A rally turns into a 5 spot, a 5 spot turns into a W. The...

If anything this makes Notre Dame even less inclined to join a conference. They’re essentially trading the opportunity to have a first round bye, but they also don’t have to play a conference championship game. The losers of the P4 CCGs are at a massive disadvantage in this system. They play an...
