Imo, he doesn't get talked about enough whenever talking about the greatest baseball player of all time.

Agree!!

Sometimes overlooked stats about Hank comsidering all the HRs -

Lifetime .305 hitter
Stole 240 bases

And never struck out 100 times in a season

So, you remember when you said that UT has no chance and if we win we'll do that thing I like...?

 

[drvenner]

So now we judge the greatness of a men’s BB coach at TN by just what he does against UK?

I evaluate the body of work. This is part of it.

 

[drvenner]

My issue is 99.9% of individuals bitching about Josiah couldn't score a bucket against him one on one..

I played him once and beat him 11-10.

I saw HH play one day as a kid with our LL team..it was bat day and I got this 34 bat that took years to grow into.

 

[drvenner]

Want a classic? Someone post Ryan's Restroom and be done with it.

That is epic also.

 

[VOLED]

Yes, but you are a freak.

Still would have over 3000 hits, if you took away every single homer.

That IS a cool story, bro.

I once heard a guy say that if he had a huge bad-*** in his face, and he knew he'd get mauled if it got to "fight" stage, he'd kiss the guy right on the mouth and back away. He said it usually shocked and grossed them out so bad they back off.

Odd thought, but I know he believed he was about to get mauled.

I think she should have to sleep on the couch...she's the Kentucky fan.

Willie Mays is my favorite, but I have to admit that Henry was a better player.

 

[drvenner]

Still would have over 3000 hits, if you took away every single homer.

Also still has the record for most career RBI.

And, it is still an absolute travesty that he was not unanimously selected for the HOF.

 

[SugarCC]

Also still has the record for most career RBI.

And, total bases...AND, extra base hits.

He was just a phenomenal ball player. My favorite of all the old timers.

Pat Forde...... I'm shocked

So, once again, their argument boils down to, "We want amateurism and free market NIL will destroy it", when that's specifically what Kavanaugh hinted will get them murdered by the SCOTUS.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rips NCAA in antitrust ruling, says it 'is not above the law'

Justice Brett Kavanaugh's opinion tears into the NCAA, says its business model "would be flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America."

www.usatoday.com

Kavanaugh said,

"Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate,"... "And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different.

"The NCAA is not above the law."

So, the NCAA goes into a lower federal court and argues, "Yah. If you say we can't collude to limit their NIL capabilities, we'll be prevented from effectively colluding to limit their pay."

WTH are they thinking?

 

[drvenner]

Gahhhh milton is honestly terrible, should be a considered a miracle that we won 8 games this year with him, and makes me question why we didn’t play Nico more

Come on, Man. Please just let it go. Celebrate his time here and wish him well. It is NIco's time now.

 

[Orangeburst]

Pat Forde...... I'm shocked

this guy really has an axe to grind against us for some reason

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

This is what I was talking about, post UNC, they show handshake line, interviews etc....

TN wins cut away immediately.

They show ridiculous favoritism to bluebloods

‘There is no reason to upend this process, invite chaos on a moment’s notice, and transform college sports’

It seems to be an appeal to tradition. This is just how we do things so don't change it.

That's your job. Give them a legal reason not to.

I am no attorney, and I haven't read everything--just snippets... But I'm not seeing a legal appeal or argument. I'm basically seeing a dog roll over and expose its belly to ask for mercy.

When DK is on: we're not losing

When DK is off and the vets flip the switch: we're not losing


When every single person is off (see USCjr): we may lose


Just avoid total disaster 6 straight games in March and this team has what it takes to go all the way.

Pete Rose is officially banned from MLB Hall of Fame voting...............



NEW YORK —
Pete Rose, kicked out of baseball because of his gambling, today was banned from the Hall of Fame when a rule was adopted to exclude players on the permanently ineligible list.

Rose, the all-time hits leader, is the only living person on the ineligible list.

The Hall’s board of directors voted 12 to 0 to accept the proposal, which was presented last month by a special committee.

“The directors felt that it would be incongruous to have a person who has been declared ineligible by baseball to be eligible for baseball’s highest honor,” Hall of Fame President Ed Stack said. “It follows that if such individual is reinstated by baseball, then such individual would be a candidate for election.”
