Can we make a change mid-season? Asking for a friend. This past week has really been bad.

My take is that winning games is the main thing that should be looked at. In football FSU won all of their games. Alabama won all but one. Close, but Florida St had more wins so they should be in unless there is some EXTREMELY compelling reason to put Alabama ahead of them. There was not unless...

Agree 100%. Mississippi St proved over a 10 week period that they are a below average SEC team. Below average teams in any conference should not be considered for the national championship tournament.

Well stated on the transfers. Not directed at the kids, they should have the ability to optimize their college experience, but I agree 100% that it is something that reduces my enjoyment of the game and our team.

South Carolina absolutely belonged. They won at a very high level all season.

I understand, but the implication of that is the college basketball season runs from around November 10th to December 31st, takes 10 weeks off, then a committee decides who did the best in November and December without totally embarrassing themselves in that 10 week off period, and then play a...

My guess is that they wanted to keep Finateri and McGuire on the once a week schedule until forced to change that, and have just been hunting and pecking for a Game 1 pitcher. Hall probably looked at the schedule and knew that this weekend (just the 3rd of the conference season) he would have to...

First, thanks for correcting me on Pitt's performance in the ACC tourney. For some reason I was thinking they won two games and played in the championship game. Brain fart on my part. To the discussion...you appear to be throwing the ACC #3 (UVa) in the same bucket as the Big 12 #8 (TCU) and...

What makes Virginia a marginal team that doesn't also make Texas Tech and BYU marginal teams? TBH, it appears to me that UVa has a better resume than either of those schools. To be clear, I think all of those schools belonged in the tourney, but UVa should not have been on the bubble if Texas...

What did Texas do that said they should be in? They have almost the exact same resume as TCU. As I wrote this afternoon, neither belonged in this tourney over Seton Hall or Pitt.

I think I have said this before on this board, but I want to go on the record again as saying that James Ramsey would not be my first choice to replace Coach Hall. I think we could do worse than James Ramsey, but I truly think we need to go outside the program. Just one idiot's opinion.

Looking for something positive, Kyle McCann made the opening day roster for Oakland. Now that team is often known as the Oakland AAAA's since there are probably some AAA teams better than them, but still it is a job at the highest level. Congrats Kyle...

Really? I had tuned out the game. We made an out on the bases in a game we were down by 7? That is nearly a fireable offense if true.

Awesome. I was wondering if this might be the selection, but was far from confident enough to predict it.

You seem to think winning 2 games where you are the lower seed out of 8 total played is insignificant. However, looking at the other conferences, only the PAC-12 can say that. The Big East is 6-0 as it should be. The Big 10 is 6-3, should be 5-4 (+1). The Big 12 is 7-6, should be 11-2 (-4!!!)...

I'm a huge fan of Wiley, but IMO Colin Lacy is pretty good p-b-p as well.

First, let me say that I don't advocate for firing him. I respect the work he has done in his career, running a clean program, apparently doing right by his players based on the fact that they all seem to love him, etc. I do advocate for urging him to retire, as I believe it is time for new...

Continuing to think for myself, and since this discussion has really peaked my curiosity, I asked myself who should be excluded from the tourney to put Pitt and Seton Hall in. Curiously (to me at least), it wouldn't be the schools who were on the bubble as evidenced by the First 4, it seems each...

It appears you are of the belief that the conference schedule is just an exhibition and something to keep us busy in January and February, rather than being a part of the actual season. Pitt went 12-8 in ACC play. Seton Hall is the only other school from the 6 power conferences to post a .600...

Nuke, basketball has mostly (perhaps completely) stopped using RPI in favor of NET. An equivalent would be if baseball started using Warren Nolan's or Massey's computer system that considers more than just wins or losses.
