Shades of Deivi Cruz

I have very little confidence in Parker Meadows as a contributor on offense. (I almost used Offensive Contributor, but that could be interpreted either way... LOL) I hope I'm wrong about that, but I just haven't seen it from him on a consistent basis. You can blame injuries if you want, but it still remains that he has been largely a disappointment at the plate when he's been out there. He's certainly still young enough to get back to the stretch where he was a fantastic looking leadoff hitter, but for me that leash is getting pretty short.

How is it possible to over simplify the plot of a Jason Statham movie?

Cas right now...

Good on Oblong for not sugar coating it for Casimir.

Sure. As much as they need to be in year one, they would still need to be in year nine (or whatever). There are always more basket weaving classes.

I've decided that I am mostly fine with this. I know if I could have continued to extend my college experience, I certainly would have. Add in the fact that they are now getting paid (though these guys likely not a lot) and they aren't prospects at the next level, so I have no problem with them hanging on as long as possible. Is it a little bizarre? Of course. But there are plenty of other things wrong with college athletics that are worse than this. I say let them play as long as they want.

The best part is that they are joining the Mid American Conference because Northern Illinois is leaving for the Mountain West. 🤣

That was probably a staffer.

And Casey not in any Tigers gear. Trade confirmed.

One year in and you are 3/3

Because protesting gangs is not a super effective strategy, while protesting government overreach is an effective strategy.

I can get behind that, if his defense can hold up and if his offense is adequate and if 2024 Tork doesn't come back...

My preference would be 0% senseless violence. Seeing as that is incredibly unrealistic, I will settle for 0% senseless violence from "law enforcement" individuals.

Not by me! I don't think "3B Chaos" is a particularly great path for a contending team.
