RedTeamGo!

Lol ok

Lol calm down. I grew up in Toledo, have spent my whole life going to Michigan, love it up there!

You better believe it! if it makes you tigers fans feel Any better I’m in Vegas for Phish at the sphere last night and I placed my first ever sports bet on the game today. Two leg parlay - reds win moneyline + over 9.5 runs scored total. So im About to walk to Caesars to cash out.

Look man, Harang was the best pitcher the reds had for like 10 years in the 00’s. Back then if you had an era under 5 on reds staff you were killing it. It was also the steroid era.

I will say about UC, gotta be careful there. My wife and I are both from Toledo - she went to Ohio U and I went to Dayton. We both had friends that went to UC. One of her friends walked out of a dorm one night and a van pulled up, 2 guys got out, threw her in the back. Luckily they just drove her to an ATM and made her get cash out and dropped her off down the road. Most people I know that went to UC have stories like this or know someone else that does. It may have improved since we were in school, but I am pretty sure that is still a pretty dangerous area.

Close

Stons by 20 tonight

Your 15-8 first place Cincinnati Reds (just ignore the run differential please and thank you)

I don't think Cavs can make a deep run or anything, but they look damned good so far

Yeah, Whittingham definitely likes a running QB. Michigan is going to be fascinating to watch this year. Really tough schedule, but they have the tools to be really good. With that said, OSU has a really tough schedule as well. I am not sold they are a top 5 team at this point. Lots of new faces on both O and D, especially D. Sayin is very accurate but I am not convinced he can take over a game against a quality opponent by himself when he needs to. But, last year was his first year as QB1, and he did alright, so I am being nit picky probably.

I don't see him comparable to JJ. I think JJ was a bit overrated because of the team around him, honestly, but he was certainly a good leader and clutch. He stepped up when he had to deliver a key pass and did so accurately and on time. Underwood has not really shown ability to do that. I think Underwood might have been overhyped coming out of high school because he was just such an athletic freak/physical specimen. Was able to dominate a bunch of HS kids that are now either going to random colleges in Michigan as normies or working at Chipotle in the greater Detroit area. Now he is going up against other athletic freaks. He needs to throw passes into tight windows. His mechanics are awful. Simply awful. Can he figure it out? Sure, of course he can. He hasn't shown it yet, though. I guess he dominated New Mexico and Central. I tried to tell Michigan fans similar stuff about Jaydn Davis, but everyone said I was just being a Buckeye homer. Now, Davis doesn't have the physical tools of Underwood, so it is not exactly the same. Underwood can certainly turn it around. But he needs to start showing out in September, and realistically, when he enters big ten play. I could see Underwood being a bit of a Terelle Pryor, who also had bad mechanics, but Pryor was a better running, at least from what I have seen. Just me trying to be a fortune teller - I think Underwood will be QB1 all of this year and Michigan decides to move on after the season. Unsure if QB1 going into 2027 will be Carr or someone from outside the program, but have a feeling Underwood will go down south for what he will see as his last college season and Michigan will want a more accurate passer. When you have such an elite running back and OL, you don't need someone making highlight reel plays at QB. Honestly, if Michigan had someone like Julian Sayin with that RB room I think they would be one of the favorites for the natty this year. Hiter is going to be special and Marshall is real good.

And accuracy

Underwood looked awful

You will never get your hands on my stash

Hello Tiger Fans, I was reading the McGonigle thread and I noticed a lot of talk about the youth movement on the position side going on in Detroit. Where does that leave Greene and Tork? Both are having subpar starts to the season. Greene seemed like he was on the precipice of greatness a couple years ago but last year, even though he was an all star, his numbers took a dive compared to the year prior. As a Reds fan watching the worst OF in baseball night in and night out - what would it take to get Greene from Detroit right now? Or is he not someone they would move? Tigers seem like they need bullpen, right?
