Let's try this. Let's talk about that time frame from 2006 to the present. Personally I think anyone would have to nuts to complain about the years we had from 2006-2011 but that's a different conversation. I also think 'Anybody can do as well as we have' is peak Paul Finebaum caller hot take...

I was making the comparison in the sense that CDH and CPJ are both highly respected successful coaches in their field but our fan base has some loud weirdos who seem to have devoted their fandom to hating them. Didn't interact with enough UGA fans during Richt's tenure to know if they had a lot...

It really does seem like the only people who have anything bad to say about the dude are our fans. It's very odd. Reminds me of CPJ a little bit.

Don't get me wrong. I'd be happy to have Ramsey take over the reins whenever/however CDH moves on. I just think it's funny how our fan base has developed a cult of personality around the guy and anointed him as the next all time great college baseball coach when we've never actually seen him...

Listen. You just don't get it. Everything good that happens is because of Ramsey. Everything else he has nothing to do with. Was the offense good even before he got here? If he's such a slam dunk guaranteed multiple CWS coach why did his alma mater pass on him this past year when they were...

It's really too early to take much stock in what we've seen so far. Some good stuff and some not so good stuff. I generally think it's wise to wait until 3 or 4 weekends into conference play before making any judgements. Ws are better then Ls though so not much to complain about on that front...

It's not my premise originally. Take it up with the Baseball America guys who have said as much multiple times on their podcast the past few years. 'Screwing up' is in quotes because it's largely meant as tongue in cheek. But it's not that far off from reality. I wasn't trying to make a direct...

UVA is pretty notorious at this point for 'screwing up' players before they go pro.

Mason with a huge TD for the 49ers to hopefully ice the game!

This is an insane thing to say. If you actually believe this you need to watch more college football.

Who said citing crime statistics is a "boomer take"? Because it certainly wasn't me. It's the citing of those statistics without context to try to paint someplace as some sort no-go zone to the point that we should hesitate to associate GT with the city it's located in that I take issue with...

Weird to bring up your assistant's skin color. Not sure what relevance that has. But I know two people who live there currently and have told me the constant talk of crime is overblown. As it usually is in these conversations. Two is more then one so I guess that says you don't know what you're...

I live hundreds miles away from Atlanta. However, I do live in the downtown of a city that you hear the same type of rhetoric from local suburbanites and I can't help but roll my eyes when I do. They think I live in a war zone which is absurd. It's the same thing. You should be able to read...

A violent crime occurring does not mean the location of said crime is inherently dangerous. Not that her family would give a **** what I think but all I'd tell them is that they have my condolences. I'm not denying the crimes happened. That is something you invented. What I'm saying is...

I feel like I need to set up some sort of auto reply system so that whenever you quote one of my posts you just get this in response. Would save me some time.

There will be a market as you describe and that market is more similar to free agency which is a market the A's couldn't compete in and pushed them to pursue their Moneyball strategy.

The market you're describing does not fit well at all with high school recruiting and the transfer portal. The players have all the leverage and it's more akin to free agency then what they were doing in Moneyball. If another team has a player with a skillset that is more valuable then the...

Your takes on this have been the most boomer thing I've seen in a while on a board filled with boomer takes. As someone else said, stop watching cable news.

No that is hopefully the end result. Moneyball was about using analytics to identify undervalued and overvalued assets in the market and take advantages of the inefficiencies that exist as a result. Everyone gets fixated on the analytics part and overlooks what they were used for which was the...
