This is the same Mel Tucker that’s 2-1 vs Michigan?

Damn, that’s impressive. I’m not for umpires having their own strike zone, but this could be the exception. Wasn’t there an umpire that once told a pitcher something along the lines of “a pitch isn’t a strike unless Mr. [Ted] Williams swings at it”? The pitch is whatever Hoberg calls it, and you can argue, but you should auto be run upon principle. Hoberg needs a nickname. Laser Eyes? The Strike Zone of Calibrated Truth?

Still on track.

I didn't see any roping earnings mentioned.

Valid point. But should we rule out the head coaching trio of Nash/Irving/Durant from winning a title?

Even more so if the Pistons landed the ace. But, hey, the Lakers have the aging Lebron James and the Nets have Irving/Durant running their teams, so they've gotten what they want.

More fun Bumgarner stats from his bbref page:

OSU certainly didn't look good early. They've had RB health issues this season. It seems like one of Henderson/Williams has been relegated to minimal touches and/or knocked out of a game and Hayden didn't get any playing time yesterday. PSU did a good job of forcing OSU into obvious passing plays in the first half, and at one point OSU was 1 of 7 on 3rd down conversions.

Golden State Warriors vs Detroit Pistons

Furthermore, its way too early, but look at the top 4 draft slots. All but one gets moved to a different team.

Last night was the first playoff game for the high school that my daughter is in the marching band of. Home game, it was a 9-1 vs 5-5 matchup. The home team was down by two TDs at half and didn’t look good at all, but pulled out the victory in the final minutes. Fun atmosphere, cool crisp evening, you get the blood flowing pretty good given the scenario. The team and marching band get another home game. And, look, eye roll if you want, but the band is damn good and pregame is fun to watch and they like performing. Plus, being the home team means another week of a 10 minute drive rather than up to 90 minutes (one way). Then this OSU game today. Their biggest challenge of the season, eventually they pulled it out. Again, the suspense for a few hours, good stuff. Its been a fun football weekend and it’s only 4pm on Saturday. Not bad.

True, it’s become more of a 3 point shooting league. And then when teams play the Pistons, they also have the advantage of scoring around the basket at will. The switch first philosophy and lack of size have yet to be addressed and likely won’t be addressed for a while. We’re probably more likely to see a full court press employed than a lineup change any time soon.

It takes a little longer these days to get loose.

I'm not saying the defense sucks, but I dropped 6 and grabbed a pair of boards against the teal horseheads last night in the 4th after you chumps understandably bailed on the game.

It seems to have improved over time, but yes, there are stories that just don't fit the podcast.

This is a fun pod. Its a once a week about half hour to an hour one on one interview with former players, broadcasters, groundskeepers, organ players, etc.

Still on my bucket list. Doesn't look promising.

Someone didn't tune in on Wednesday.

I hated just about everything about it. The Pistons were only about the 824th sports team to go to teal, so it seemed foolish to me to join the other lemmings. I suppose the same could be said about blue, red, and white, but that has been the team's colors for so long. The logos were too cartoony, too. The horsehead and the tailpipes, OK, I get the link to the Motor City. I think that could have been done better.

Drink stirring straws can be expensive.

The teals are terrible, but I'll play along today.

Atlanta Hawks vs Detroit Pistons

That’s good stuff.

I’ve never really believed this to the case for baseball. Basketball is probably the sport where it is most possible. Maybe hockey to an extent. But baseball is a sport where your chances to determine individual games over the course of a season are very low compared to the plays where you have no input. Ernie Banks comes to mind.

Can Jim Cowan confirm that this is Tenacious D’s stunt double?
