Oof, That’s rough…plate umpire made the correct signals too.

My dad’s summer team lost on a BS walk off balk in the semis of a tournament. My buddy disengaged the rubber and separated his hands at the same time (everyone in the park knew he was stepping off), but opposing HC talked the umpire into a balk lol

The tournament board says final 1-1?  I don't have enough service to watch...

 Walkoff homer. 2 out 2 strike pitch, got some good carry and gonezo

I'm not really convinced that he leaned *into* the pitch.  But he definitely didn't try to get out of the way.

agreed. I initially thought they were keeping him at the plate.

It was better when the rule was simply “cannot increase your profile” as a batter with a HBP. Bad rule change and judgment there when a righty’s pitch runs in on a lefty and hits him flush.

Would it surprise people that a NIL collective is shady? The main problem I see is that it’s not churning out more wins.

The only pushback I can see is how the schools were left in the dark and not informed of impending schedule changes until after the negotiations were agreed to. Fans were pretty ticked with Eichorst who got canned days after he agreed to moving off Black Friday. Otherwise, the teams should play when decision makers want them to play, especially now that everyone is getting paid.

Curious whether the Chicago Bears end up becoming this dysfunctional during his leadership.

Maybe UGA does have him locked up at this point, but odd to me how a repeat national championship program has former players tweeting about a recruit like this. Seems like desperation hard sales pitch rather than a close.

They just won again with a walk-on QB, why go nuts over a QB when they’ve proven it’s not about a highly touted QB recruit.

Probably wrong, but hoping I’m right.

The flip is actually pretty impressive.

What is the stereotype?

The people you're referring to are nice to folks who look like Gatlin, just not to anyone different from them.  He's from the southern part of the state though, I used to live nearby in Boise, and people are generally nice as he says in that area.

I don’t know if I would consider the type I’m referring to as anything “nice.” Truly not saying this argumentatively, whether they look like him, you, me or whatever, those people are easy to spot and even easier to identify within even a brief conversation. I have lived in that region too and long enough to reference the panhandle region with the understanding that you also get - I also know it’s “Boy-see,” and not “Boy-zee.”

Pend Oreille is beautiful area but…you get it. 
 

Yup, it’s a cheap joke, but the stereotype of the panhandle is real.

Also, you don't get your money's worth if you wear jeans to the strip club. 

^I love this, the timing of this couldn’t be more uncanny. As I edited my post and saved it, I was reflecting back to that day in college because our buddies convinced this lovestruck friend of ours to wear gym shorts to the club. No more than 5 seconds later Barney, from How I Met Your Mother, makes the same comment you did hahahaha. Season 1 when they go to prom and Barney’s educating the HS boys lol.

How many trips did it take for you to realize that?

Believe it or not, one of my favorite “tracks” since hearing it for the first time in 8th grade, Napster was a helluva program. Took 1 visit to clean it up and a second to confirm it was 100%. 
 

Edit: hah! Oh shoot, I thought you meant the quote itself. 
 

Fuudge, I’m too cheap to pay for that. But true story, had a college friend freshman year drop too much money on one over the course of several visits -  like close to a grand. She lead him on and exchanged a couple emails before blowing him off. He taught her though…cold shouldered her his next visit and dropped $250 on her coworker lol

That makes sense, two turf fields (one in Memorial Stadium, one in the indoor facility) and two grass fields in the outdoor practice area. Now they can grow one grass field to US Open length rough in preparation to play at Northwestern. 

Need a lot of spray paint too

Ladies and gentlemen of the GED class of 1999, I have one piece of advice for you. No matter what any stripper tells you, there is no sex in the champagne room. 

Not shocking it was Allen. He had the highest ceiling but shoot, can’t waste time on someone who doesn’t want to work, especially when the lights are on.
 

I hold out a little hope for Ervin, he appears to be the most complete back of them all thus far, but nothing stands out yet. I did like him…trucking Omar Brown for that TD in the spring game. 
 

Wouldn’t be surprised if 1-2 DBs, 2 LBs, 1-2 DL, 1 TE transfer out. Perhaps even another WR and QB leave too (Smothers>Purdy, IMO). Fill in the gaps with transfer and Walk-Ons.

I also imagine several more departures during/after the season to clear room for more incoming recruits and transfers - OL/DL/LB. Those are a few position groups with a glut of schollies at the same year and the writing is on the wall if they aren’t 2-deep.

If I was a draft analyst and I couldn't decide between an Ohio state guy and a Group of 5 player I would 100% pick the Ohio State guy. You'll look so much less stupid if you're wrong

It’s more about drafting guys like Ryan Leaf or Jemarcus Russel or taking a shot on a guy like Matt Cassel who attempted a total of 33 passes in his 4-year college career and yet was drafted and banked over $65mil in the NFL. Don’t think anyone is drafting Joe Burrow 1st overall if he played at NU.

NFL teams couldn't care less about if your college team wins games.

ehh, there are many players in the history of the draft who get selected or at least get drafted higher because they are on elite teams.

Ochaun Mathis got drafted by the Rams in the 6th round 189th pick.  Glad we got a guy drafted.

How much did Mathis lose by transferring and taking NIL at NU, rather than stick it out at TCU on a legit team?

Laaaame. 

Would love to see a scenario where he strings along and pisses off every current top program recruiting him and winds up at NU with a handful of other recruits, and ultimately make more fanbases despise the Nebraska Cornhusker program *if* they rise to the top once again. 
 

To be hated once again by everyone would be a nice feeling. 

Announcing his commitment leading up to NU spring game would be comical.

Hopefully better than that tennis guy in the PAC12

Clark is one of the most complete PGs in women’s basketball currently and arguably a Rushmore type. Ball handling, passing, shooting, IQ, and then the speed at which she plays sets her apart from competition. I just have a hard time when someone is that phenomenal but flops and complains over any foul called against them even after the star treatment that they do receive.
