what is a good benchmark for a ERA for a college pitcher? Additionally, is college baseball talent on the level of single A minor league baseball? Double AA? Or something else? When I watched, played and followed baseball an era of 3 was sort of the norm. I looked up some data from from various...

Would anyone be willing to breakdown the UNC - Kansas matchup? I missed the first game yesterday and have not seen them play at all this year. Also, if you were a betting man, who do you like and why?

I want to ask these questions here as the group on here is knowledgeable, informed and can discuss things without the emotions that can poison our other forums. I have enough history with the program as a casual observer to understand that pitching is a historical Achilles heel for us. I also...

I don't think coaches think the same way as (most of) us civilians do. They are used to swtitching jobs frequently so a one year gig (with a two year contract) is not something that would scare a lot of them away. They probably see it as a way to show an immediate impact. From my experience it's...

Emotions trump logic and reason for the overwhelming majority of human beings. Sadly, a GT education apparently does not render one invulnerable to "getting all caught up in their feels". IIWII.

Interesting read. I have always thought that good teachers can explain complex ideas in such a way that others can grasp them. I also loved the fact that he explained this to a caller on a radio show without (apparently) time to rehearse. I would have confidence in the guy that he can correct...

I don't watch much basketball but saw them vs. Villanova tonight. Looked like some of the L'ville or Georgetown teams from many years ago. Athletes are great but you do need shooters as well. Getting the ball through the hoop is critically important in this game.

and, if it is, how many people will care outside of the 10-20 schools who choose to participate? If I am going to watch professional football, the NFL does a much better job of it than the NCAA.

My favorite memories include watching the selection show every year and wondering where we would be seeded and in what regional. Afterwards, analyzing the field, our bracket and projecting how far we would advance. I don't know why but I liked that whole process as much as I did the tourney...

I don't think anyone would disagree with you. I certainly wasn't. That has to be the initial step for sure. But if it is the final step we are in the vast unrecognizable quagmire of all the other teams that go the these types of bowls annually. (again, those ARE better teams/programs than what...

Your point is valid but the bigger issue remains. Our first year or two of Weedeater Bowls or Quick Lane Bowls will be a welcome change over the last several years but not if we are getting waxed by the Uga's and Clemson's of the worlds along the way. Closing the gap a bit is not going to move...

Doesn't necessarily mean "bad" performance by Gibson. Perhaps the new kid just is doing better. At this point, if I am in Collins' shoes, I am 100% focusing on short term vs. long term (assuming it is a job I want to keep - the golden parachute isn't bad either). He isn't in a position right now...

I am not saying that your idea is bad, nor that i disagree with it. But we are then the equivalent of a junior college who happens to be and play in a P5 conference. Might work except for one thing....if you have constant churn of younger OL and DL guys, you never get that kind of player like...

we used to have the funds but there was some "accounting irregularities" according to the suits. Some recent staffing changes were made around the time these were discovered. I hope I am not talking out of turn here but I think the statue of limitations protects me from legal repercussions at...

A quick cleanup was done. A general comment to all, this doesn't need to get personal. We don't award trophies or points here.

I am currently a HS teacher but had 25+ years in the private sector prior. When I hear some of more STEM oriented students dismiss their English and humanities courses I tell them that good ideas don't count if one can't communicate and/or sell them effectively. How many careers get stalled...

I know. To some of us, that is young. Sadly enough. :)

It's a chicken and egg situation. If the school management had been invested going back decades then we would have more fan support. But you can't fake it and expect to fool all of the fans. Some of us, yes. But the majority are voting with their feet and wallets.

There is nothing wrong with buying your suits at Walmart. Or Harrods. What makes most of the remaining GT fans unhappy is we want to have the tailored suits but pay WalMart prices. Most of those who have left here or the stadium have figured out what Gt wants. And their tastes are not aligned...

I think you are, consciously or not, making a point that several of us have been making. Schools that want to excel and not just participate make getting resources a priority. Through many AD's and HC's and school presidents, the issue IS that we are content with what we have done and who we...
