I have serious doubts about UCLA being a title contender. Perhaps I should say, I have serious doubts about Cori Close,
In 13 years, under Close, UCLA failed to win a conference title or conference tournament in the PAC. They have reached the Elite 8 only once under her tutelage in 2018. They...
Backdoor champ = Not THE number 1seed + previous beatdown by THE number one seed who remained unbeaten til' the semis?
You mean you haven't seen any UConn fans refer to our 2017 Championship as being backdoors? Yeah, it's still a championship, but we know we weren't the best team that year...
UConn was THE number one seed and undefeated in 2017 and had soundly beaten the Cocks in the regular season. They may have been the better team, but SCar got the back door pass when MsSt beat UConn in the semi-finals.
SCar was THE number one and undefeated in 2023 and had soundly beaten LSU...
While Oregon State has not merely been to the CWS (7 times) , they have won the Championship three times this century.
Oregon's one CWS appearance is insignificant compared to the Beavers. UDub is about like da ducks.
Southern Cals' baseball is like its WBB (before this year). Once and former...
I'm a huge fan of TCU's coach, Mark Campbell. I feel like he was the person most responsible for Oregon's two year burst of glory (not Graves). He did well in each of his brief spots as a head coach before arriving at TCU and making them relatively competitive in his first year despite not...
3rd most influential Hawkeye?
Maybe as far as influencing the Hawkeye program but not as far as influencing "all of Women's Basketball." She is number one.
The 18.9 million viewrs are simply the highest ever. I doubled the Hawkeye viewers from the previous year - which doubled the viewers from...
If only that pesky logo shooting guard for Iowa hadn't upset our applecart last year . . .
Aren't "if's" fun??
I wonder how many backdoor champs there have been? Us in '17. LSU last year. Others?
I guess this baseball season will see the last PAC-12 pennant. Go Beavers!
I just realized. the Big 10 might actually have some competitive baseball teams.
Over the past five seasons, we are 167-9. Out of the 4 championships during that 5 year period, we have won two and have been in every final four. Though others pretend to laugh at our garnet banner, we beat UConn, Baylor, Maryland and Vic's Miss St (thrice in going 32-1. Simply put, We ARE the...
I don't see how 'm being "unfair" to her. I did not criticize her. I merely pointed out that it's somewhat unusual for a prospect of her caliber (HG #6) to limit her final group to a pretty small geographic area. What's "unfair" about that?
Related. If she stays at home at Cincy, it MAY be an...
But Stanford was in her final group just as SCar was in JuJu's final group. They visited outside their home regions. Dee is staying within a car trip of home. Nothing wrong with it but it is a small surprise in this jet age.
Of
Has anybody heard how the Big is gonna schedule conference games? They were already beginning conference play in December - ahead of other conferences. With 4 new members, that's two additional weeks of play for the existing teams just to play everybody once. Will they adjust by each team...
I look at Fournier the same as I looked at Ashlynn Watkins ( SCar) coming out of high school. Great, physically gifted athlete who needs to be coached up offensively . I think she can have the same impact.
I’m still confused. Perhaps it’s the use of the word “just.” Does it mean “ merely?” Or does it mean “ recently?” If the former, I guess it makes some sense. If the latter, UConn has not “ run through the tournament “for consecutive years.
I wrote that in reference to ( what I think was bull dung) the statement that a Stanford was looking at having to pay 760,000 for one player.
There are a lot of rumors about NIL and I think 95% are bull dung.
LSU was offering half a million to Strong, Edwards and Cambridge - supposedly. They...
So, SCar’s NIL collective payments of 25,000 per player for 12 roster members is really, really low. ( this does not include individual NIL negotiated by the players and their agents)
