Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Either way, if you don't throw the ball in the batter's box, you don't have to worry. If a player sets up leaning over the plate, or moves into the area between the batters boxes as the pitch is coming, it's not an awarded base. Umpires notice at the time of pitch if a batter has his arms into the ...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Leaning into a pitch entails moving toward the plate on a pitch coming inside. It's a totally unnatural act and is so obvious, it's an easy call for the ump. I didn't see all the HBP's yesterday, only catching a couple of innings between family stuff. But I haven't seen anyone "lean into"...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

This is really only weekend non-conference series that can help our RPI. Need to at least win the next two games to help our cause. Considering their current RPI is 138, not sure it will help us all that much. Hopefully it gets better over the course of the season. Too bad that San Diego game got c...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Their game against San Diego last night was canceled for some reason, so they'll be fully rested. 3-0 on the season so far, a sweep of North Dakota State, for what that's worth.

Re: CFP Goes for 5+7 System

What still blows my mind is why ANY G5 conference rep would vote in favor of the 5+7, knowing it reduces the chances for their own schools? You know their goal is to eventually eliminate all G5s from the playoff. So why keep giving in so easily? STAND YOUR GROUND.

Re: Tulane Wins the Northwestern Series

Real test comes this week. Important to beat Nicholls on Tuesday, and if we can win the series this weekend that would be something. UC-Irvine started the season ranked #25, and swept North Dakota State this weekend so they'll move up. They play San Diego on Tuesday before coming here.

Re: QB Ty Thompson

Kai was a mid level 3 star recruited by G5 schools.

Ty was the highest rated QB recruit EVER at one of the top Power 5 programs in the country.

Re: Up next Athletes paid Employees potential Unionization

I still think that ultimately the Universities will demand to know what their return or benefit is to giving a scholarship if they are forced to pay or buy players. Accepting a scholarship will come with a waiver that limits compensation in some way. Agreed. Because there is some value to the educa...

Re: February NSD Class of 2024

I referred to Rivals. Try reading what you are responding to. As to 247 it gives out stars like candy. To be fair though, its still consistent, so a 4 star at 247 is better than a 3 star at 247. In fact, one could say 247 is more accurate. Its a lot easier to distinguish between two players. Both c...
