He’s got a crazy number of assists and total points.

Did you know many of Gretzky's "assists" were awarded by the home team venue (Edmonton) when he was on the ice but never even touched the puck on a scoring play? Of course, this created much anger amongst us Calgary fans during the rivalry years with Edmonton. How many assists did he really have?

I figured all individuals on here that despises Vanderbilt so much, wouldn't take kind to a Vandy refugee. Fans must be getting soft during this new NIL era....

You have some weird trolls...

no one here has any control over Rick Barnes or any Vols coach and who they bring in from the portal. Either you trust and support them or you don't.

If they think Jaylen Carey is going to help this team win then I'm supporting him.

I think they wanted to add a big, but didn't feel they needed an elite big. Felix, JP, Cade, and Brown are all here now... Carey has 2 years to play minimum and offers stuff Felix/Cade don't.

If you can get an outstanding talent that will help you win, why not do it? If it improves the roster, who cares about hurt feelings? NIL has made college athletics even more of a business than it was before. Get the guys who will help you win and take you to the top.

A bit confused, not sure what you're saying exactly.

I think Carey is a talent that will help us win and Barnes & company prioritized him as the big to go get when he entered the portal. It would all be speculation as to why he left Vandy, but I'm sure his desire to play on a winning team that can make a deeper run in March is the main motivation.

Vlad Jr. Just got paid. Bluejays sign him to a 14 year/$500 million contract.

Looks like Bo Bichette is odd man out in Toronto...

Get em signed as fast as possible…price tag only goes up. 😳 Hated when Time Warner took over the Braves and Liberty Media didn’t warm anything one iota. Need a billionaire with something to prove for an owner.

Did D1 really drop us all the way to 5 after losing our first series? That’s ridiculous. Hope it puts a chip on our shoulder and we dominate everyone the rest of the year.

Doesn't matter where you're ranked until after the season is over. Just make the playoffs, then the CWS, and win the whole damn thing again. Then we'll be #1.

That helmet camera system that is said to have helped Jayden Daniels so much seems like a great idea for Nico. When I try to imagine it for myself, though, it seems like the first day or two might be a little disorienting. Does live action seem like video on day two or three? Lol. But I imagine the adjustment is very quick.

What I mean is, imagine your phone camera mounted on your head at work. You go home and study it. Then you go back to work. How could you not have thoughts of how the real will be as video? The whole idea is for the experiences to be similar enough that they are interchangeable. Just musing.

April 6, 1862
Battle of Shiloh begins.

The battlefield is one of MY most sacred places to visit.

On April 6, 1862, about 44,700 Confederate troops under the command of Albert Sidney Johnston launched a surprise attack on Ulysses S. Grant’s Union troops camped at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee. During twelve hours of fighting, Confederate forces concentrated sixty-two pieces of artillery in the “hornet’s nest,” which was the largest concentration to this date of artillery on the North American continent. General Johnston was fatally wounded, and General P. G. T. Beauregard replaced him as commander of the Confederate troops. Despite Grant’s attempts to make a strong defensive stand, the Confederates forced his troops to retreat to the Tennessee River. The first day of fighting ended at dark.

During the night, Union General Don Carlos Buell arrived from Nashville with 17,918 reinforcements. With fresh troops increasing his strength, Grant attacked the Confederates at dawn. Beauregard, unable to position his troops effectively, retreated to Corinth, Mississippi. Union casualties were 13,087 and Confederates 10,697.
