  1. Would Beard leave Ole Miss after 1 year? Well he did leave UNLV after what a day? To me he is the top option that could be had but if it takes one more year of Woody to lure Beard, I'd be patient. I don't know how recruiting is going for Beard after his off court stuff but Texas made a mistake letting him go, IMO. Terry is OK at Texas and deserved a shot but one was must wonder if he is Texas version of Mike Davis whether he is better coach or not. May is OK hire too but Mitch Henderson is as good, IMO and I like Mitch when they hired Archie though I wasn't against the Archie hire. Collins name alwaays surfaces and I think he'd a great coach at IU but I think he is probably committed to being in chicago. What happened to Oats?
  2. Thanks for letting me in these leagues. I've only played 2 years and my teams have been meh but after the first year Ibarely made the cut to champions league. This year finished 3rd but my team was probably 2nd division scoring wise so luck factored in. Wasn't all good luck as it didn't help that Chubb was my 1st round pick and Tee Higgins was my 2nd best receiver when drafted and Trevor lawrence got all beat up just when he looked like he was about to repeat last year's finish. Looking forward to next year. McBride was the best thing that really happened for me as I got him right when Waller went down.
  3. I felt bad about Puca being on your bench so left Pickens on my bench to even it out. lol.
  4. Yeh, I signed up for Peacock at 20 per year last year and it renewed automatically for 19.99 again for a year not 59.99 this September. I'm good until Sept. of 24. Let's see if it ($20) is the price next September in 24. I don't see how streaming and cord cutting from Satellite/Cable saves money if one likes to watch sports.
  5. How many Mavs games do y'all watch? I'm a die hard Mavs fan and watch all their games. Really liking what I'm seeing from KI and Luka. Luka is always looking to involve his teammates. He just needs to quit whining and playing games with the refs. https://www.si.com/nba/2023/11/02/mavericks-kyrie-irving-raves-luka-doncic-impressive-teammate Mavs really hit on Lively. He is already playing at a level that I was just hoping he'd get to by 2nd half of season. It took almost 2 years but they finally replaced KP's defense in the paint. If they can get a DFS replacement at PF and let Grant williams play more SF and be a combo then they could be dangerous. Not sure OMAX Prosper will be ready this year. They should of taken TJD even if pick 22 was supposedly to high for him.
  6. Montgomery has been a savior for Texas after the trade. He had a couple bad games but for the most part he's been very solid.
  7. The sample size is pretty small for this format. I don't think it an issue. 3 of 8 teams with byes over last 2 year made the LCS. I like the format and best of 3 WC series. Tampa didn't have a layoff but lost. They had 2nd best record in AL. Maybe a bye would have done them good. Maybe the the real issue is divisions. Houston was lucky to get a bye but they still won their first series. So layoff did not bother them. They had layoff last year went all the way. Yanks had bye and got to ALCS so AL has held form. Atlanta has lost to Philly each of the last 2 years so maybe philly just has their number. You'd think Atlanta would be wanting revnge.
  8. I believe it was on Ken Burns Baseball but Bob Costas said the pitcher who came in to pitch to Vic Wertz on the Mays catch was taken out and maybe only in to pitch to Wertz. When he handed the ball to his replacement, he said, "Well, I got my guy out". I'm sure I botched this up some and forgot the names of the pitchers. Still that is fricking classic if true.
  9. Is Freidl the new cleanup hitter while Fraley bats #1 or is this because it is something new Bell has not tried. I realize he tryng the award for most different lineups.
  10. Grew up there. Remember going to Rex Mundi HS football games played at Bosse field in late 60s and early 70s. I attended Rex Mundi games when 4 when Griese played for Rex Mundi. Don't really remember much on those games so maybe can't count them. Went to lots of Triplet games in the 70s and also remember when they were in AAA WS when they had Jack morris, Gibby and some other tigers that were on the 84 WS team. Not sure the AAA WS had home and home games. Also got to go see the Big Red Machine play an exhibition game vs Triplets at Bosse field. One year the Triplets were horrible and they had a promotion for guaranteed win homestands. If you attended first game of the homestand and they lost, tickets remained free until they won a game on the homestand. Not far away on the other side of Diamond Ave from Bosse field, Donnie Mattingly grew up.
  11. Haven't been posting much lately as Fantasy Football took over my internet time to prepare for the to many leagues that I am in. The Reds are 1 win away (75) from what I put down as a highly successful season for where they were coming from. It's a bit frustrating since they were rolllng and have kind of had a collapse especially since August 1 and it really kind of started before that with the Brewers series before and after the all star break. Glad to see India back and hitting that homer in first AB. I hope they don't trade him. I think he is the leader of the team and I'd make him the full time DH and utility infielder next year if ELDC, McLain, Marte are all playing in the infield. Let's see if he leads a charge down the stretch to get a final WC spot. I don't know if there will be much difference in game importance in earning a WC spot for these young guys but would give them a lot of confidence moving into next year. I am just happy they are playing meaningful games so late in the season whether they more WC games or not. Lots of times teams that have nothing to play for start to play good. They may not be playing great but great for the experience. I think they should be very careful when they make deals in the offseason. I know they are not a big money team but I'd stand PAT and open up the pocket book for a big a signing or 2 before all these rookies start getting their deals. I'd look at Blake Snell as a FA.
  12. A 4th round pick is squat if you think you are getting your future starter. Maybe Dak is up against the wall. He has had plenty of chances but always comes up short on game winning playoff drives. Dak will soon be asking for even more money. Maybe time to move on if it is same ol' story this year. Dak is a class act but game winning drives in playoffs aren't happening. Kellen Moore was the scapegoat last off season. We'll see.
  13. Seems the NBA should be using XMAS day games to play the in season tourney. Maybe the 4 quarterfinal games?
  14. Well maybe the success of the pitch clock will make them more open to change. I like getting all the Western teams in a division/league. Seems Central and East time zone teams don't like so many late games. Portland has often been mentioned as a place to expand so if they got team then Colorado could move in with Texas, KC. minny ... without much issue. As a Reds fan, my concern would be they get sent East and lose games with Cards but they played in NL West for long time. Still in those days they still played Cards 12 times.
  15. I think MLB should expand to 32 teams aand make four 8 team leagues. Play each team in league for 12 times and each team in other 3 league 3 times. 12x7=84 3x24=72 That is a 156 game schedule. I'd try to keep the AL/NL designation for awards and All star games but not separate them for playoffs. The 4 league winners get first round byes (same as now with top 2 division winner). The other 8 teams would be Wildcards and I might weigh the interleague games more heavily in determining the wild card Standings. hopefully, Austin would be one of the cities getting a team. A stadium just to the south of Austin would not be all that far from San antonio. Always talk of the Rays making a move.
