First of all the Dominican Republic’s odds to win the WBC are 3-1… amazingly good odds given the offensive talent on this team. The American team is the favorite ~ Odds of -110 and yah, the team has offensive talent and better pitching but no-one has a better lineup in the field or at bat than...

It’s hard to imagine beating the British 8 but the dawgs do have power and experience… if any college crew can do it, it’s Washington. Wish I was on the water to watch this one, I have the feeling that it will be epic. I do hope they kick Harvard’s ass in Florida in the tuneup.

I think they left out the obvious choice ~ Stump Von Nostrum , I know, he is a left guard but he has taken important snaps at QB as well. Also should have included the infamous Warren Beatty role in Heaven can wait featuring the deceased QB Joe Pendleton, Leo Farnsworth and culminating with Tom...

I know, its crazy since UW vs USC had been the biggest rivarly for USC since 1980 ~ USC holds a little lead in the series [17-16] since 1980 but that includes the dead period for UW of 2002-2008 ~ if you subtract those lost years UW holds a commanding lead of 16-11. In more recent years it’s the...

I don’t know why this took so long but better late… what a good guy. He and Hansen were my favorite players back in the day.

I totally agree with your point about larger round robin conferences reduce the number of annual games between the powers in conferences. The top schools need to play each other every year. This is what killed the pac ~ that and the overwhelming idiocy of deciding that it was ok to approve Cal’s...

A bunch of good points being made ~ reducing “the league” to top 40-50 teams because the rest of the schools cant afford to compete is real. The fall out that results means fewer regional games degrades historical support from fans as more geographically local competition historical rivalries...

@RoadDawg55 I loved how he talked about himself in the third person ~ what a character! More lead off home runs than anybody in history too i believe. And all time stolen base leader as well [1406]

Well you are right, this turns into the NFL light where a 70% - 80% win rate team is a playoff team. Parity becomes a thing, totally dependent on TV revenue sharing and Payroll limits to work with. I can see all of that happening ~ the only problem is that the historical blue bloods will demand...

I definitely have to go to this bar ~ I look forward to that, will be a good time

@Joey You actually have a HCH Flag? That is next level. Or is that the flag at the posh HCH headquarters that we always hear about?

Well it turns out to be true ~ the headline fooled me as well. I thought, fuck, i missed the game. It’s a little sad in one sense ~ Canada has ruled the sport for years and the American build has finally leveled the field to a degree that comes as a shock to Canada. Great win for USA.

Ohio state has made previously somewhat storied programs seem pretty ordinary as time has moved on… the big 10 is lettered with programs that have been humbled by their presence. RIP IOWA, Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan mostly, and Wisconsin ~ the teams from the PAC are a potential lifeline to...

I do want to thank you for the reminder to watch Lonesome Dove ~ I never did read the book or watch the series, so I am watching the series now… just watched the first of 4 episodes, it is pretty epic.
