  1. This is one bid league, probably. Get to the top 4 and take your chances in the A-10 Tourney.
  2. It's the soup of the day.
  3. When baseball free agency was coming into existence, Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley proposed that all contracts just last for one year. I surmise that he surmised that the above arrangement would be beneficial to the teams. We're kind of seeing whether that is true. I don't know yet.
  4. Dayton is only giving 1.5 vs St. Joe's. It seems like Dayton should be the bigger favorite.
  5. The betting parlor wouldn't have taken the bet had they known Jontay Porter was behind it. That's my point. The betting parlor would know that just about anyone can start a brawl, with little chance the fraudster would be detected and little consequences for that fraudster as well, so I am skeptical that a betting market exists for brawls. For Porter, the consequences were great, so there was supposed to be a deterrent, but there wasn't.
  6. I'm just a fan, but I understand fraud and the possibility of it to occur. Which is everywhere and at all times. Show where I find the brawl market and I'll believe in it. Until then, color me skeptical. And, if you think you can outsmart the stock market, God Bless You, and your millions, billions, trillions of dollars that you must have amassed. If you have outsmarted the market, and not in the stock picking profession, you are in the wrong business. Make the money, live comfortably and donate the rest to the BVF!!
  7. Not sure if you're serious, but I doubt you could find that bet. People would be tempted to make a bet on something that they have control over. Like make a bet on a brawl, then start, or stage, a brawl yourself. Make a bet on me scoring less than ten points, then 'pull a hamstring' three minutes into the game.
  8. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/basketball/fordham-suspends-basketball-coach-keith-urgo-over-recruiting-violations/ar-AA1xkZRs Fordham is self suspending. Nothing from the NCAA. I'm surprised that there are still such things as 'recruiting violations.'
  9. CBS Sports shows the Bills as a 2.5 point favorite.
  10. 57 according to the internet. There's another Edward Feser in academia who is 56.
  11. The QB who 'resigned' at UNLV was getting monthly payments (of $1000).
  12. The entire upper bowl is covered. Or at least I was. Did wind blow some rain? A little, but not much.
  13. When applying for jobs at that age, 'What's the pay?' and 'What are the hours?' are the first questions that I want answered. I was working summer warehouse for $5 an hour and I thought that was great.
  14. LH not having his best game.
  15. JG may not be a regular NBA contributor due to his shooting shortcomings, but I remember an interview with Pat Riley. He said his job was to push Jerry West in practice, so that West would great in games. I would think there would be a position like that for JG, but maybe times have changed.
  16. https://apnews.com/article/mens-college-basketball-preseason-allamerica-team-5714be67b757473934399b100cc723b6 Others receiving votes: Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton (15 votes); Alex Karaban, UConn (10); LJ Cryer, Houston (5); Braden Smith, Purdue (5); Kam Jones, Marquette (2); Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State (2); Wade Taylor IV, Texas A&M; Johnell Davis, Arkansas; Norchard Omier, Baylor; Ace Bailey, Rutgers; Robbie Avila, Saint Louis; Tucker DeVries, West Virginia; Tre Johnson, Texas Ok, it's only one vote, but I'll take it.
  17. I would bet yes. As a team will be able to assemble a team of formerly highly paid players who will have to take a cut in pay, or players will be getting a raise from a lesser program. (Vanderbilt beating Alabama with a few players from New Mexico State being an example of the latter.) If you get a tournament expansion to 128 teams, you especially up the chances of a team catching lightning in a bottle, getting to the Final Four. Covering my arse--I don't mean no NIL, just significantly less than a top ten NIL program.
  18. The Temple business school head got caught and got convicted of fraud in 2021.
  19. He's depressed all the way to the bank.
  20. https://www.wsj.com/sports/basketball/ivy-league-transfers-college-sports-624c0d38?mod=hp_listb_pos2 Kalu Anya, who averaged nearly 10 points and seven rebounds a game last season, gave up Brown to play for Saint Louis instead. Billikens get a mention in the financial paper of record. They got 'Saint Louis' right as well! Unless NIL money is life/family changing, I'd stick at the Ivy league for the doors it opens, but I'm glad he's here. Probably a paywall.
  21. I hate the term golden generation when referring to this team. US soccer is ascendant, yes, but golden generation, to me, means that the team was successful in the past, and now, with some luck due to the 'good' players having their prime at the same time, it is now a golden generation. Our 'good players' aren't good enough to challenge the upper tier (not even the best) teams. We were outclassed against the Netherlands in the WC, and now against Panama, yes down a man and Uruguay without their head coach. Calling this squad a golden generation is like calling a really good AAA baseball team among the world's best.
  22. Loyola has Davidson, Dayton, St. Joe, SLU--I'd call that about equal, VCU vs Davidson.
  23. The reffing didn't help either. And that second goal, oh boy. Stand still and you block it with your face. He had two hands on it at the same time and it still got past him. .
  24. PE leaves very few things better off than when they found it.
