Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[bignewt]

We have 6 of the top 25 KenPom teams. They have 3. They don't even have a top-12 team and we have 3.

Maybe they are deeper, but that's just like their football teams...a lot of mediocre teams that get smacked on the national stage.

I think Illinois has the team to go the furthest from the big 10. Maybe Iowa. The rest do not impress.

They have changed several years throughout the years in football and basketball to make it easier for the offense. I hate the shift but don’t like the rule change either…. As for talking about guys going the opposite way…… players are taught an entirely different style of hitting nowadays…. I don’t think it is that simple for them to change their swing to go the opposite way anymore.

This is just an indicator of society now.
Old days, work harder and impose your will on the opponent or change your abilities to beat the opponent.

Now, change rules cause it’s too hard for you to put in the work to change and succeed…

LETS ****ING GOOOOOOOO

@nicksjuzunk this hot sauce just won an international competition and it’s really good and not pricey.

Garbage...change the rules because it is too hard to learn how to actually hit the ball...absolute garbage.

Baseball was my sport. I know the game. This is like changing football rules to eliminate 2 high safeties because QBs are struggling to fit the ball in tight windows. The shift has been legal since the beginning of baseball. You don't change the rules because teams adapted their defenses. You adjust on offense. And the adjustments are actually pretty obvious.

And as for pitchers throwing 100 mph....great. Then it should be easier to go the other way instead of trying to pull the ball into a shift. Or do what some players did in the MLB post season last year...bunt down the 3rd base line for the easy single they're giving you until you get them out of the shift.

This isn't about the game being harder now. It's about hitters being too stubborn and prideful to adapt...even when that adaptation is something as simple and obvious like bunting. Not that bunting is a skill anyone learns anymore. But why make them, when we can just change the rules to accommodate their lack of skill? That's what sports are all about. I guess.

Great post! I agree %

Hey..I'm going to Belize in five weeks. We are going to go to one of the big Mayan sites that day though. I am super excited for that.

The rule is dumb but the only reason for it is money. Hitters want it to get better stats that lead to better contracts and MLB wants it because they feel like more power hitters means more people will watch.

First part of the week, we stayed in the mountains in this house overlooking the rainforest in the valley below. My daughter really wanted the beach, or I would have been happy in the rainforest all week.

The fact that an entire panel picked us to win that region is both a bit shocking and also frightening.

Odd how most of the sights are in B1G country and they conveniently have the most teams in

and Duke lost to some really bad teams, but Coach is retiring and so they get a really high seed.

and then if we hit a bump, we are the one who catches hell for daring to complain about the seeding, even thought most of the whole media was doing the same thing.

I feel more confident about beating Nova this time around then I do playing Zona in the Elite 8, I hope they get beat before then. I think we could beat Illinois pretty handily, we can take Kofi out of the game like we did O.

Big win for Liverpool today. Within one point of Man City.
