    Baseball Quotes & Inspiration

    If I had to pick one or the other I would say left handed based on the position of the lower right foot. If not, then he has a huge right heel. But I realize a case can be made either way.

    I find it interesting that the right fielders are catching more fly outs than left fielders. Does it mean there are more left handed hitters now? Or that batters are going the other way more than in the past? Or that pitching is stronger and batters are making contact late resulting in weak fly...

    I saw two very talented teams battling it out to the end. Unfortunate to come out on the losing end. I have watched a lot of volleyball from teams across the country this year and have rarely seen the kind of talent and performance we saw from both these teams. There were outstanding defensive...

    New Pro Jackets Progress

    Why do you say this? Sure we lost an all American at this position but if there is one thing we have shown over the years is an ability to develop top talent at the position. There is a reason we have a chest protector that says "Catcher U" on the front of it. We may not have the generational...

    Is the Ft. Myers Tip-Off still on?

    Everyone seems to think Franklin is too small to play the post in the ACC. Meka is about the same size and much weaker on offense. Not sure he is a solution to the problem.

    GT vs NIU basketball game MEGATHREAD.

    When we are in our zone defense you will often see our big man has to run out to the corner to cover the 3 ball. Obviously taking our tallest defender out of the middle will hurt our rebounding. Also the man to man defense is always more conducive to being able to box out your man while in a...

    I understand what you are saying and I agree with you. I think this return trip to Auburn was very important to Coach Nell (and Aversion) especially after last year's result and may have influenced the playing time decisions because she wanted to make sure we came out of there with a win. During...

    I think Dunn lost some minutes because she seemed a bit nervous out there. She missed a wide open layup and after that Nell took her out. Also, with Love playing as well as she was that ate into Dunn's minutes as well. In this case I think Nell was playing the hot hand. Ines just didn't play...

    I was impressed in the 4th quarter that our women did not panic when they lost the lead. They locked in on defense and immediately turned it to a 7 point advantage. Great coaching move to switch to a zone and give the the outside shots that they couldn't make all night. Also kudos to the calm...

    Year after year we play well enough to be a #2 seed but not well enough to be a #1. But what amazes me is it seems more often than not the team with the #1 seed in our region just happens to be #1 in the nation. Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Florida all were top seeds. It sure would be nice to be sent...

    Ogletree wins on Asian Tour International Series event

    The article I read said that he regains his PGA tour status in December after serving a brief suspension.

    Battle of ATL

    That's a good question. Personally I don't see it as a long term thing but more of a situational solution. I can see us moving back to a single point guard sitting either Smith or Sturdivant (I would sit Sturdivant) and replacing with Kelly. I guess it depends on the opponent. If we play against...

    A lot of positives today. Both Swartz and Jackson were solid again. Kara Dunn looks like she will be another scoring option for us. She is very smooth around the basket. Kayla Blackshear is another one that looks very steady with both her rebounding and interior scoring. Not sure what is going...

    Beg to differ. Gibbs actually played for Tech. Melious never played a minute for us.

    Battle of ATL

    I actually thought the move by CJP to put Kelly at the point is what won us the game. Good coaching move. He recognized that Kelly could take it to the hole and shoot over their much smaller guards. It also opened the lane up for Moore as Kelly drew their post man away from the basket to help on...

    If you mean she didn't delete her number from her phone you are probably right. But if you mean they are still in contact I don't think so. I believe that would violate NCAA rules.

    I just checked and it is also carried on Hulu as they carry the ESPN+ content. Simply click on sports and scroll through the content til you find it.

    I'm in agreement that there is no longer any interest in my part on how well she does. She chose not to be part of our program and regardless of the reasons why, I don't need to know how she fares at LaSalle or any other place unless she should reconsider being part of our team. I understand why...

    I remember some posters on here being very worried that all we signed were a bunch of guards in this year's recruiting class. It looks like Coach Nell had a plan for that all along. Hopefully we don't hear those same posters whining about how we signed almost all post players this recruiting...

    She doesn't have the best vertical but then again the net is only 7'4" high in women's volleyball so she should be able to touch the top of the net flat footed if she is 6' tall. I still think she tips the ball way too much. Look at Otene who is also just 6' tall. I don't think her vertical is...
