I asked this on the board a couple of days ago but never saw a response, but does anyone know the status of AJ Russell? I don't recall seeing him pitch since that 1 inning

@GiggerVol I just saw this posted in the baseball forum. Hope this copy and paste works.

The Official St. Bonaventure @ Tennessee Series Thread (Fri. 3/7 6PM EST) (Sat. 3/8 6PM EST) (Sun. 3/9 1PM EST) (All Games On SECNET+)

What a horrible weekend I suffered. Had to endure the #4 BasketVols winning another to close out a spectacular season as they honored Zeigler, Mashack, and friends. Then had to walk 120 yards across the street dodging traffic so I could see the #1 BaseVols bomb the Bonnies, and all this with my...

The same tired arguments that are unproven and of unknown efficacy, even if true. We KNOW that Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Clemens and many others juiced and we know that it enhanced their performance. Huge difference IMO.

McGwire hit 49 home runs his rookie year before any of the PED issue. He was on pace to challenge the record several times in those early years, only to have injury knock him out. Not that motive matters, but for him they were a means of playing a full season, not to make him a better hitter. He didn't need them to hit home runs, he needed them to stay healthy.
And your argument is no different than saying UNC's academic cheating scandal isn't actually cheating bc it wasn't proven and punished. UNC wasn't punished bc they cheated within the framework that the sport established and accepted. Pearl "cheated" outside that framework and was crucified for it when UNC's version was a much greater perversion of the spirit of the rule.
MLB is the height of hyocrisy! You cheat their way and it's part of the game. You cheat outside their framework and you are banned. Really hard to understand how those people are protecting the integrity of the game.

You know Chattanooga residents are borderline Georgia fans. Oh it's true. It's damn true..

As a Chattanooga resident, I can say we are not borderline Georgia fans and the area reps Pantone 151 well. But there is a sickening number of UGA fans here. I would imagine most of them were wearing Florida gear 2006-2009 and Bama gear up until 2020 or so.

DK Metcalf traded to the Steelers for a 2nd round pick

He said earlier he doesn't want to play in cold weather anymore. I hope he enjoys those 75° mid December games in Pittsburgh 🙄

Seattle isn't that cold.... He definitely will freeze in Pitt (and Baltimore and Cleveland) if Seattle was too cold for him.

Metcalf going play Quarterback?
Click to expand...

True.

Doesn't seem like Pitt doesn't want Wilson or Fields. I've seen rumors about a Trevor Lawrence trade. Not sure that's any better unless last season was a fluke for Lawrence.

I guess they should keep Russ and draft a QB. Not real inspiring for a fan
