Yes! I guess it goes without saying that I am with NC State all the way now.

The Final Four seems to confirm your theory.

They have a chance and, to me, it’s because they have nothing to lose. They’ve exceeded expectations, are having fun, and are loose and confident. By contrast, UConn, as great as they are, is under a lot of pressure to win it all. If they have an off night against a team that isn’t scared of...

I like the Final Four matchups a lot. Teams with similar strengths are squaring off against each other.

I’ll be honest, it’s been several years since I’ve been more than marginally interested in Tech baseball. What reason would you give for me to become more interested this season?

You’ve distorted my argument. I’m not advocating negating actual records, which is what happens when you leave out an undefeated team. Had Tennessee gone undefeated in football, and beaten both Bama and UGA, I would absolutely have no problem with them being picked over FSU. The argument holds...

I was hoping this conversation was close to being finished but since it isn’t, here’s my two cents worth. Past success of a conference SHOULD be a factor in conference team selection BUT ONLY IF it relates to individual team continuity. If a team was good in a previous year and returns a core...

OK, who you got for champion this year? I hate to say it but Alabama looks really strong to me. They are fast on defense, have terrific outside shooting and look like they can match anybody’s inside game. UNC had a chance to win but blew it against them and now Alabama is feeling really...

I want Alabama’s center. He was a game changer.

Seems like announcers were leaning in favor of Arizona and now in favor of Alabama. The ACC used to get hyped but I guess those days are over for now.

This is helpful. Curious about Kelly, though. He’s been pumping the program on social media I thought. I don’t follow closely so maybe I’ve missed something. Losing Gapare would be disappointing. He appears to have a high ceiling at this point than some others we are losing.

Is that the same, though? If LSU fans had put up a billboard that said we got beat because our conference doesn’t measure up to other conferences that would be more like what ACC and Tech fans do.

Birmingham is a different kind of place for sure 😁

What is your source for the financial problems being directly related to D1 sports? I’m just curious because normally athletic budgets are totally separate from operating budgets.

Maybe we should invite some Pittsburgh fans on here to get their insights. 😏 Wake fans could jump in with some solid fact checking for some of us. Meanwhile, ever notice how little infighting takes place in the SEC? Wonder why.

I was basing this on an economic impact report I read but you are right, impossible to predict the impact.

Chowderhead? Is he from New England too?

Yeah, I was getting ready to respond too. Football had zero to do with this. Economic impact on Alabama of this school closing with be huge.

I was always impressed with people I knew who graduated from there. Have loved this school from afar for a long time.

Funny, my first thought was what 5 star player in their right mind would risk a career ending injury playing in a high school super league?
