    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.

    Danny Hall question

    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.

    New Pro Jackets Progress

    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.

    Bracketology 2024

    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.

    Danny Hall question

    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...

    Bracketology 2024

    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...

    Bracketology 2024

    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.

    Thanks Nuke! I was beginning to wonder if last weekend completely decimated our fanbase.

    Bracketology 2024

    The ACC has had 9 different schools make the Sweet 16 in the past 5 tournaments. The next closest conference as far as that kind of depth is the Big 12 with 7, followed by the Big East and SEC who both have 6. Additionally the ACC has had 4 different schools with multiple Sweet 16 appearances...

    2024 Season

    Looks like today's game has been postponed. With the Boston College series being scheduled for Thursday - Saturday to accomodate Easter Sunday, the game can't simply be pushed back a day. I'm guessing it will likely be canceled as finding an open date to re-schedule will be difficult. I wonder...

    Braves Spring Training

    I don't think it is a rule change, just a point of emphasis. I am also convinced it was not properly applied in the example given above. Will be worth watching as the new season gets started later this week. Here is a link to what I could find on the topic...

    2024 Season

    I would argue we have already had a significant injury with Giesler being out for 4 weeks now. Getting his bat back in the lineup would be a big help, and the question of where he plays would be a nice problem to have. As it stands, the only consistently good bats have been the two freshmen...

    Looking at the bright side, you get to come home now without feeling guilty!

    @UNC Baseball

    Interesting, I was looking a little more closely at the RPI sheets at Warren Nolan and it literally updated in front of my eyes. We are now at 65 instead of 60. No idea what happened there. However, I do see an error in the calculations...they are counting the Sunday game at Coolray as a home...

    @UNC Baseball

    I'd be good with your lineup except that I'd flip Brosius and Zmarzlak. Is it possible you looked at the RPI before it included yesterday's games? The RPI I see here ( https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2024/rpi-live ) doesn't show what you mention. It shows Florida down to 38 with a drop of...
