You Came In Dressed Like a Train Wreck

It's actually funnier to add a "The"

And the real sickos like me will be watching Ball State vs Purdue at that time

Yep. Though #2 is inescapable. Even if P12 Network is only 50% as successful as Big Ten Network, that's still another $10-$15m per team per year and even SC probably is never tempted by B1G money

Bama doesn't do that though. They throw TONS of scholarships at out of state students from up north as part of their enrollment strategy. Tennessee does as well.

#3 is Stanford/Cal academic arrogance that blocked addition of four Big 12 teams in 2021 and addition of SDSU/SMU in 2023. Either one of these expansions saves the league.

That includes the current coaches at Stanford and Cal who called for a return of the original Pac-10 this week. Like your schools are #3 on the list of reasons the original league imploded, guys!

1. USC/UCLA greed and bad faith plus Fox's role

2. Larry Scott's criminal mismanagement of P12 Network

Seems like something more than "crickets" to me, but I'm just some guy, not an internet activist

Love to do a bit of searching thru bluesky posts & be reminded of the utterly cavernous gulf btwn what the actually existing Democratic Party is, believes, & does what ppl online think it is, believes, & does. Tons of extremely rotted out brains pushing some of the most insidious misinfo possible

You can p easily find statements from multiple Ds condeming Trump & Hegseth for this move just on bluesky alone, actually, but in order to know that you actually have to want to see said statements & Caraballo has long made it clear that her actual goal is to just lie about Dems wherever possible.

Outside of sports discourse its doordash, Dems bad, AI bad, everything is doomed, teen loneliness, joe rogan of the left, glonzo, mental breakdowns, the worst people you know doing mass movements, plus people minimizing or threatening violence. Tedious.

Some call-up from Triple A will hit an opposite field grand slam for the Brewers off a checked swing to beat you and your fielders will suddenly look like they've never played baseball in their lives. Sorry we don't make the rules.

“Verified by Molly Shah”

Yeah, local news outlets definitely need to stop doing that. Also stop crediting them, too.

Hey congrats to everyone who took the soft anti-vaccine stance of “mRNA vaccines aren’t 100% effective and aren’t useful against future variants so the mRNA vaccines aren’t good, we need to mask forever”, your stance has been noted by RFK Jr. to kill mRNA technology in America.

Cubs have spent the last week with every hard hit ball finding a glove or getting caught at the wall, so getting that to drop for a hit had to have strong "about damn time" energy

The outright *hatred* Muncie locals had towards Ball State and its students when I attended was just so self-defeating. You're a dying mid-sized industrial town that hit a lottery ticket by having a 22,000-student state university located there to keep the local economy afloat! Maybe embrace that!

I remember thinking "this is either going to work wonderfully or backfire spectacularly, no in-between" when they traded for Rodman. Local reaction in Chicago was so skeptical that the Bulls leaked that MJ and Phil had specifically requested the deal to ease everyone's minds.

They are too focused on making sure they have new IU merch every week

Millions more would've died during the covid pandemic without the mRNA discoveries and developments of Kati Kariko and Drew Weissman. And now millions will die in the future because of this decision.

Nothing like pressuring your starter to throw a shutout

This is true. Very much the Colorado version of the Chicago Old Style sign.

dunno seems like this might be a bad company run by bad people that should be shunned and boycotted by everyone?

Cubs look like they are toast. Front office's lack of effort last week clearly killed their spirit.

Every opponent simply rolling over for them, too

Eh, it will be way harder to leave 28-win Indiana State out with 4-8 extra bids. I'll take my chances at this point. The only way staying put helps mids is if it's accompanied by a "must have .500 conference record or better" requirement for at-larges.

How is this good news for mid-major teams, who are already shortchanged in the current 68 team format?

In fairness, $1,000 to a guy still on his rookie contract at that time probably seemed like a lot of money!

Yup. Also, you can see on the replay that Ventura starts heading to first before turning toward the mound. Reportedly he heard his teammates yelling at him from the dugout and he remembered the fine.

Reminder that Ventura has had to live with this for decades because a Sox player had been hit earlier and the vets in the dugout said anyone who didn't charge the mound the next time Ryan did it would be fined $1,000. Ventura, unfortunately, believed them instead of his own common sense.
