Bingo

Thanks for the brilliant insight.

I can respect that.

This is ridiculous and an insult to Judge. I've wat hed nearly every Yankee game this season. He is most certainly not getting "meatballs" and he still regularly gets bad calls on low strikes. I get that people hate the Yankees but Aaron Judge is just a great human being who happens yo be a hell of a baseball player. He has maintained health this year and built on the steady improvement in his hitting since he came up. At times in the 2nd half he has had to almost single handedly carry his team. It's been an absolute joy to watch his play this year and it will likely be a long time before we see a similarly dominant offensive season. As much as I take pride in Maris's record as a North Dakotan, Judge is an absolutely worthy heir and from everything I've read the Maris family feels the same. Judge breaking the record takes nothing from Roger's legacy.

How can d be so poor on 3rd and long?

Did his parents have a big pile of W's haning around.

Ballsy drive. Very impressive. D has to do their job now.

Feed 32

Play calls were awful after the 4th down pickup.

3rd down stop would be nice

You knew it wasn't going to be the season when pitching coach leaves mid year for LSU. That week was when they fell apart in the other series in Cleveland.

So do huskers take the ball or make sure they go with the wind in the 4th

No. I'm not an insider. Just threw out a guess on possible delay. In my work procurement rules can hold up lots of things. Although only one bid can pose different problems.

I interpreted the Miami AD comments about one sport conferences as there was a chance nchc grabs ASU and St Thomas to become Summit hockey and perhaps Miami and Western go back to ccha which would become MAC hockey. East would be muddier with only Ivy League a clear choice although that would likely break up ECAC. Big East would be best brand for Hockry East. No clear option for Atlantic Hockey, maybe revert to MAAC.

Could be a challenge by the unsuccessful bidder. Would hope not the case.

Look at the contracts. The current big 10 deals run to 2030. I think they'll go to 20 in phase 1 for bulk of that contact. Oregon Washington and Stanford would be top choices and adding Cal placate the regents opposing UCLA move. Looking to the next contract in 2030 the ACC schools will only have 6 years left and swallowing a buyout is much easier. They can even let the SEC do the dirty work through ESPN to get Clemson and FSU. Then the Big grabs N Carolina Duke Virginia Pitt Georgia Tech and Notre Dame. If Kansas football is even respectable at that point they pick them off as well possibly Colorado. That gets them to 28 with national coverage and might be enough to lure Texas and Florida, becoming the major league of college sports and boxing the SEC into their home region. They could add Utah and Arizona to go to 32. SEC would be a football league BIG would be an all sport juggernaut. Divisions would be West - USC UCLA Oregon Washington Cal Stanford Arizona. Utah Plains - Colorado Kansas Nebraska Iowa Minnesota Wisconsin Illinois Northwestern Rust Belt - Indiana Purdue Notre Dame Michigan Mich St Ohio St. Penn St. Pitt South- Florida Georgia Tech Duke UNC UVa Maryland Rutgers Texas Don't need an NCAA at that point and they've crushed remaining conferences. Wouldn't be surprised if this or something similar is the long range plan.

BEK starting a news operation in Grand Forks would definitely be an interesting development in the media landscape. Without network affiliation, they could do a statewide newscast that could from from 9-11 Central time, and potentially attract a considerable audience. Could grab a lot of folks that watched WDAZ and KX in Minot.

Honest question, why?

If the donation was for a ballpark it's not dumb. Binghamton has a great baseball history, both the community and the school. It also has almost 20000 undergrads so not exactly a small school. All of the SUNY schools are trying to up their profiles so maybe they see baseball as a niche.

My uncle worked there and I remember him showing me a "trick" to get free play on the PacMan machine that was there. It was a cool addition to campus. For all the development on campus the lack of a little retail village is the one thing still needing to be addressed

A ponzi scheme not working out, who'da thunk?

That's what 2 plus decades of almost zero interest rates will do. We are definitely on verge of another housing bubble. ND was somewhat insulated in 08-09 due to the influx of oil cash but that won't be the case this go round.

Sure overlook Georgia clemson USC Ohio State. People overrate the SEC but outside of Auburn and Georgia, most of the good teams in opposite divisions rarely play. It's no coincidence that Tennesses huge decline has helped fuel Alabamas rise. If that was a tough game on the schedule each year, the Tide might not roll as easily.

Notre Dame's schedule is plenty legit, look at their upcoming years as well, never plays an FCS game, and if you know the history behind the Navy rivalry game would understand why that will never go anywhere.

Exactly. At this point there is no longer a reason to push for FBS, because all that matters are the Big Ten and SEC. They are essentially another pro sports league now, so trying to compete with that is futile. The million dollar question is how this shakes out for other sports.
