When a team picks up a new player, do they hold a "study hall" in the clubhouse to rehearse the new player's high/low five routine after a HR?

I'm willing to take him off notice for that one. ;)

Well, they did come in last in the B1G MLax regular season.

Great analysis! At what point does he tell FSU, "I'm cutting you loose; I have ambulances to chase"?

After 42 games, it's 21-21. At one fairly recent point, not only had each team won the same number of games, but they had scored the same number of goals. But some folks here insist JHU is your rival, amirite? Just sayin'.

From what I can gather from our board, we were, at best, along for the ride. There were no reports about our administrators' lobbying for this to happen before it did. Tony Elliott and Carla Williams did attend the signing ceremony per a post. We do have a history of setting the pace in a lot...

Virginia has enacted a law that enables schools to pay NIL money directly.

Mystery explained. Nunes was hurt on Saturday vs. Duke.

No talking trash this time. Our game against Duke has been discussed enough.

The recollection is foggy, but I think he did at the end.

I even heard Rizzuto make the call of Maris' 61st on the radio.

Rizzuto, Mel Allen, and Red Barber for me. ;)

Must be a serious health problem. Very sad to see it happen.:(

People don't quote Duffy Daugherty fully. Yes, he said, "Tying is like kissing your sister." But they forget to quote the rest of what he said, "But losing is like kissing your brother."

Oh. Em. Gee. FSU is quoting the Dud of WV? Was that paperwork filed on April 1?

Because even if the super leagues aren't intercollegiate, there will be plenty of FBS teams that are left behind, in addition to FCS, D-2 and D-3 which are unaffected.

There are too many members of Congress (mostly from The South) in powerful positions that don't want the NFL playing on Saturdays and interfering with college games. The "showcase" college game is Saturday night. While folks in the Northeast may not think it is, a significant chunk of America...

No, because Congress will step in. The NFL only exists in its current state because it has an exemption from the antitrust acts (allows for the common draft). Congress will threaten to revoke the exemption if even a rumor comes out that they're thinking of playing on Saturdays.

Sitting on the sideline waiting things out. As a small private school, they've got to be careful. I don't think their administration or their fanbase believes that their being in the ACC has hurt them or held them back. Their fanbase believes much more that decisions by their...

Because ESPN's contract is with the ACC, not Clemson or Florida State. In wanting to leave early, they are contesting the GoR, their contract with the ACC, to which (as I said before) ESPN is not a party. If they manage to leave, under the terms of ESPN's contract with the ACC, ESPN can (and...

No, the GoR contract is between the schools and the ACC; ESPN is not a party to the GoR. The GoR sets the conditions for leaving (the exit fee and forfeiture of all future TV money payments in the new conference). Once the GoR was in place, the ACC then negotiated with ESPN to form the ACC...

The next time he gets something right about conference realignment will be the first time.

OMG. Quoting "The Dud from WV."

Maryland? Yes, they've won a natty, but Gary Williams is gone. They're on their 2nd coach since, and they finished with a losing record again this past season.

Our board believes that RPI has to be fixed/repaired/overhauled/modified because there are so few games to use as a basis for seeding, especially when compared to basketball. Many seedings based on RPI alone, in our view, do not pass the smell test. I was only half-joking when I said that I...

Gee, we've gone from (essentially) #9 in that first bracketology in this thread to #2 in a week. I was afraid that, by beating UNC, we'd be relegated to a play-in game by RPI.

Stanton probably saw your post, so he dug in and hit those homers this weekend.

Could very well happen. Most of D-3 would have to relocated to the NAIA if they don't form some sort of new federation.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if that happened at the D-1 level for basketball. There would also be a movement to make the requirements to stay in D-1 so onerous it will drive out just about every school that has moved up to D-1 from another division and, quite possibly, the schools that don't...

The NCAA gets its money from the CBS contract for the D-1 basketball tournament. Since the Supreme Court decisions of 1984 taking away its control over TV coverage, it gets a grand total of $0.00 annually from FBS (formerly D-1A) football. As long as this idea remains covering football only...

Do we need a separate thread to track who is and isn't on notice?

If you reduce the number of teams in the top echelon and make class attendance optional, you get what I've been saying all along.

If we make 1 freaking foul shot in regulation, they’re not in the NCAAs. :(

WSoccer, too.

Great (and dangerous) if it happens, but I’m not holding my breath. “Great” because they’d be the sixth team, and “dangerous” because they’re not afraid to throw money around. Separately, if the ACC ever does get an AQ, that would probably trigger the creation of another play-in game.

He was Tony Kornheiser’s go-to source on which team to follow in the tournament.

Courier New.

I did remember that’s the name of your SB Nation site, hence my lame attempt at a response. ;) Ours is “Streaking the Lawn” in honor of one of our 70s “pastimes”.

You’re not saying that as some kind of Trojan horse are you?

Did anyone have Matthew Nunes scoring the game-winner for UVA?

Bringing back Costanza's cotton uniforms?

Tell that to Tony Bennett. :(

I'll say it now (and I should have said it yesterday) No one is going 162-0 or 0-162.

The biggest handicap for GA Tech is that regardless of your major, you must pass Calc I and II to graduate.

Sing with me. "Movin' on up, to the Big Time

Of course, what they'll never mention is if the ACC's GoR can be broken anyone's can be broken, including (especially?) the Big XII's. I may need to see a chiropractor about how I've hurt my neck from shaking my head so much at the series of "words of wisdom" from the Big XII.

Sprinkles are for closers.
