Re: 247 Sports: The gospel according to Lea: Vanderbilt's blueprint to become the hallmark of college football success

I haven't read this story, but if (I say, when) the Commodores begin to turn the tables a bit on the rest of the SEC, Coach Lea and Vanderbilt will suddenly become one of the most interesting stories in college football. Here's a program that is trying to pick itself up off the mat and doing it the...

Re: OT (presumably): Oregon and Washington going to the Big Ten

National magnolia league time.... Vandy, Duke, Wake, Northwestern, Cal, Stanford, BC. UNC and UVA feel a little different but they'd make more sense than not for a number of reasons. Then convince Notre Dame to join as the conference would be good enough that the champion would likely be part of th...

Re: Selection show

six of the tourney teams are from texas (no particular surprise)....and eight from north carolina (nearly as many as the sec)! louisiana and alabama are both equal with california (four each) and three of the ca teams are in one regional. just sayin'.

Holy Smokes, what a ball game! We’ve had good broadcasters in my 50-plus years of fandom, better in fact than most announcers for other (and often more prominent) athletic programs which I’ve been obliged to tune in on occasion, but Paul Eels was the one you felt like you knew and loved, at least s...

Allegretta takes some time, but because I always listen to the radio and watch muted TV, I have grown fond of Andrew. But it did take a year! He is very knowledgeable and does far more homework than Joe ever did. But Joe was easier to listen to, for sure. Joe and Charlie Mac were the two best radio...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence

So, since is going to be the situation every year, how many more years would you give Stack to get to the NCAAs? I'm seriously asking. And "almost" making it doesn't count IMO (I may be in the minority on that). Seems to me that NIL and the portal make it much more difficult to evaluate a...
