Similar, I umpired a few little league games when I was a senior in HS. Never again and this was a podunk rural league. The best case scenario was that a few would be varsity starters in high school.
I did it in Vegas, my buddy was president of the league and not enough dads signed up so he asked. I was told there were a ton of single moms, strippers, porn stars, etc etc so I jumped on board. Unfortunately I drafted a team that seemed to have old and Karen type moms, that said the team were runner ups!
You’re not sure how they field a team that doesn’t lose 20?
I don’t disagree that it’s reactionary, but if we lose the seniors and Mintz it will be an uphill battle to 10 games until we see the guys who come here. Could we win 25 with the right transfers? Sure, but until they’re here we’re not rolling with much.
Fair. I was thinking more about this cycle just due to the fact that there has been no proof of anything.
Well duh, if you roll out a team of 5 guys you’re probably not going to win many games, but that has not and will not ever happen. Somehow every P6 team fills out their roster each year so it seems pretty ridiculous to prognosticate on next year while under the assumption they don’t fill the spots.
Duh? You’re the one who can’t read, I never said anything about not filling a roster.
You said that if you lose Judah and the seniors the guys who are left = an uphill climb. I’m saying that you’re obviously going to fill those spots, so looking at that team today will seem to indicate the results would be bad because half the team doesn’t exist yet.
It is an uphill climb depending who we get, fill the roster with transfers who stink and there’s no reason we’re not Notre Dame. Just because we bring 3-4 guys in doesn’t mean they’re going to be any good.
It’s possible, but i would argue it’s far more likely they get enough talent to win 10 games than not and that’s the crux of my response to the other poster.
I’m guessing Notre Dame thought they did too. Our coach said this was a tournament team AND his best recruiting class ever, may not be easy to bring a 20+ win team in.
And good thing they won 10 games, Louisville is a massive outlier of everything going wrong at once. I’m not saying it’s strictly impossible, just that’s an overreaction based on 1 outlier event of a team collapsing as hard as Louisville did.
They’re awful, I hope we don’t get to that.
They'll bring in 3-star 'croots to replace the 3-star recruits that are leaving. Not gonna cut it.
i reffed junior hockey. (volunteer) . and there's nothing more obnoxious than a set of parents in matching team jackets screaming all game at 8 year olds .
Have team gave you any indication that this will happen. Listen, we have to move on sooner or later let’s make it sooner
100% agree. I did soccer (U12 boys) way before my son turned 12. So it was all "other" kids - not mine.
The jerseys with their kids name on the back was cring.
That’s not the point.
Yeah, i will still be interested/curious, but i might just have to make a 'statement' to myself.
