Crazy thing is if you can get the last wild card, its doable to make the world series. The 3 best teams in AL are on other side of the bracket and will be beating each other up while wild card 3 just has to beat the 2 weaker division winners.
MLB should take from PWHL and allow top seed to pick which wild card team they play.
They've historically been pretty committed to hoops as well. 11 Final Fours ain't no joke. A lot of talent has flowed through there. Admittedly, past decade hasn't been to previous standards but from mid 90s to about 2015 definitely a top 10 program. With their resources, a resurgence is highly likely, especially with Michigan just winning a title.
Not a lot of options for cheap buy teams to ensure home games. Patriot league teams have much easier travel options. Pioneer options are Drake. Butler, Valpo and St. Thomas. We got San Diego a few years ago. But they also have better travel options with Big Sky opponents.
Agreed, this isn't like when Bo Schembechler fired Ernie Harwell in 1991. And the IHeart layoffs kind of forced UNDs hand. It would be ideal if they let him do a series of interviews or features like they have Virg Foss do. A Hennessy hockey podcast would be great. Not as rigorous as having to do PxP but keeps him involved with the program.
The fact that athletic departments are looking to get bailed out by private equity should tell you sports run at a big loss. I hate to say it but athletics are the Costco hot dog of academia.
Just not a fan of island greens so I feel like it's too punitive when a small gust of wind or something doesnt reward a good shot. I absolutely adore the US Open, but I feel the same when greens get baked and can't hold shots. Don't mind high rough because not supposed to hit it there.
Agree it pales in comparison to other 3, dont think moving it to May helped. Personally disagree on Players though, as I think Sawgrass is overhyped and 17 is gimmicky.
But im old school and love the US open on tough tracks and the Open with lots of rough weather and carnage, and no what it has generally been in recent years, links golf with scores you see at the 3M Open or John Deere Classic.
Would love to see the Twins sign Andrew McCutcheon just for some veteran leadership on this young team.
Cutch is a class act and I think he could impart a lot onto the next generation on hiw to be a professional and do things the right way.
Probably won't happen as I know he doesn't have much production left in the tank, but even over a short time could be a great influence.
