I don’t get this at all. O.K., they pitched him once on his throw day because he had been in a slump and it was a huge OOC game against a Big XII team in Storrs. But they need to do it again? Against Hofstra? I hope they don’t burn him out physically and/or mentally, but there has to be a...

You mean other than if you work for a living? Or go to school?

The Commissioners agree on it, based primarily on what the TV people want.

How long were you holding that one in?

The seven guys who played material minutes last year (not counting Ball’s subbing in for an injured Castle or Stewart’s cameo appearances during the short minutes Alex was required to take a breather) were the best team in the country by far. All we learned from Ball and Ross and Singare...

Now I know when you’re back in 241 for the next blow out, we can discuss statistics! In hoops, football or baseball, RPI does not take into account margin of victory. It is only based on your winning percentage, the winning percentage of who you played and the winning percentage of who they...

I owned that album once upon a time.

O.K. In a week where anything other than 5-0 will be a real negative towards an at large bid, one down with minimum stress. Hopefully no stress tomorrow either.

Except that every coaching staff is telling their recruits that they are not "unaffiliated" and the staff controls payments. Can't have it both ways under oath.

Well, there actually is. You can be there will be a Title IX suit with women athletes saying that just because the school has athletes paid through boosters rather than directly, that doesn't obviate the need to make sure your female student athletes are paid equally. And while I'm not a Title...

As someone who has very nicely implied the tests were overly simplistic over the years (please don’t get me wrong – still a useful barometer and I sincerely thank you for doing it), thank you for doing the extra work here. And your goals to finish the season look about right to me. Does this...

Thank you for giving the original poster what he wanted. Now maybe we can move on and worry about this if and when it actually holds up scheduling.

RPI drag week coming up with five games against not good teams at home. The only solution available to the team is to go 5-0.

And congrats for beating me by 3 seconds today!

RPI up to 38 — remarkable given that we’re one game over .500. All the credit in the world to Garrett Coe, who pitched 7 2/3 on two days rest from his brilliant start against K state. Even if you remain unconvinced about this team (it took a huge amount of Georgetown errors for us to score 5...

This weekend is really critical, as after this we're limited in our number of Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins. But having said that, it is no longer impossible to foresee the possibility that we could play ourselves into an RPI in, say, the low 30s, where on a RPI basis we will be in line for an at...

So instead of discussing keeping "it" secret, do we know how long he's unavailable for? It's not like our pitching is deep enough to lose any arm that we think we can count on.

What, you don’t trust lawyers?

RPI incredibly up to 43 on Warren Nolan. Let’s take the series tomorrow. Just enough offense and just enough pitching, but in each case enough to get it done.

So it's fine for the WNBA, and rookie contracts in the NBA, but would be a total disaster in college? O.K.

I know I’m too old and I’m not speaking for anyone other than me. But if the cost of UConn winning #6 was me having to get a tattoo, I would have rather not won the championship.

The NCAA already doesn’t allow its member institutions to pay its student athletes NIL money. They don’t have to do anything but take action when existing rules are broken. Do I think they will take action? It’s a member run organization. If other schools prefer the current system yes, they...

Whether it was intentional or lunacy, no organization has ever done anything that worked worse than allowing third parties to make NIL payments. A rational system would allow schools to pay players, have a wage scale (even if that requires unionization) and have the schools deal with the...

LOL. Just a “if I vote for this I can raise money from my supporters by putting out a tweet” law. The State of Virginia does not have the right to tell an out of state based national organization what rules it can or can’t impose on its members.

Disagree on the one in Fairfield (and Stamford). Haven’t eaten in New Haven in decades, but I think the offshoots are fine (although not as good as what I remember in New Haven from the 80s and 90s).

I am concerned about the first point. I think it's quite possible that, no matter how much money football schools make, they will be spending it on football. But if they stop competing with other conferences, ....

1. Have to take two out of three if they want to stay in the race to win the conference regular season championship. 2. They certainly don't have 3-4 good starting pitchers. They have 3 or 4 guys who might be good on a particular night, but not a one you can count on. Yes, Quigley has been...

Particularly good post in a thread of good posts. If you want one answer, with the importance of the game and the quality of the opponent being factored in, it was Caron's performance in the loss to Maryland in the Carrier Dome. That doesn't mean DC wasn't great against Illinois. But he...

I have no problem with Hurley's recruiting strategy. I do have a problem with how many here so easily assume that someone who feels the need to take the most money offered is a "bad attitude ball hog ...." Cam Spencer and Hassan Diarra would have been the same player if their family situation...

I think it’s over simplistic to dismiss a young man’s goals or work ethic because they are moved by the offer of more money. Some young people are in situations where more money sooner is extremely important. If it was my son he could afford to be worried about long term earning potential the...

Define "never had." Given that he did make a few cameos as a true freshman.

To win the Big East. Take 2 out of 3 against Georgetown and we're absolutely in the mix to win.

I'm still not convinced this team is as good as any of the UConn teams we've become used to seeing, but the schedule really really eases up after this weekend, and if we can find a way to claw our way to 3 out of the next 4, winning more than two thirds of the remaining games is not going to...

Same as when Karaban was guarding Edey. When you get whacked in the chest by the shoulder of the offensive player, some times you just have to go down and dare the refs not to call it.

Smith, like Doron, came in as a combo guard. Plus the team that Chris Smith joined did not have a talent level nearly equivalent to what the talent level at UConn would thereafter become.
