If he could rise form the grave, locate you, and give you a good talking to, he would.

Oh my god, it’s true.

I was thinking football, specifically. One practical barrier I can think of that’s unique to basketball versus football is that there are multiple games a week, and the amount of travel needed to pull that off for a truly national premier league for college basketball would be fairly impractical.

Even halfway into a season, has there ever been a team whose position player WAR leader has. WRC+ as low as 50? Because not only is that the case for us, he is actually the leader by half a win!
-
Yes!

A year from today.

I posted on the old board some years ago that if these people were going to be pro-life, they needed to be pro-life all the way, with no exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother, or else their entire basis for belief is full of shit. Thing is, at the time, I threw in life of the mother just to be comically extreme. Literally no one advocated fetus over mother at the time. I thought I was going beyond the pale to demonstrate the ridiculousness of it all. Never underestimate …

I agree, this is practically obvious on its face. But if it ever had a ghost of a chance of working in only one instance, I think college football could be that instance. They wanna make money, sure, but they also don’t have quite the same existential profit imperative that professional sports demand.

First pitch 4-3. Crap.

And now the tying run is on base. Get ‘em in! These are the damn Royals, after all!
-
Tying run to the plate in the ninth. Gotta like seeing that.

Not many, but then, recruits with a choice generally go to the top schools on their list anyway, so the whole thing probably wouldn’t be much different than it is now.

Not only did I not say this would be easy, I said in so many words that there are probably dozens of barriers preventing this from happening. This was just a fun thing I posted because I spent a couple hours being obsessed by the idea. It sounded neat in the moment, I fleshed it out a little bit, and I posted about it. If MSU were to get relegated to Tier 3, they would deserve not being able to play Michigan.

He's getting that privacy, but it's still a weird thing. This kind of thing happens almost never. It's not as though this is business as usual *shrug*. I would hope we'd see him this year. If we don't, then maybe something else is wrong. But as of right now, he's not factoring into my future hopes for the team, again, such as they are.

Chris Ilitch is in a tycoon bubble, so probably everything he knows about what the fans are thinking is what he's told, and who among his executives will tell him the truth? Do his executives even know the depth of the truth? They might well be in their own bubble.

This might be one of the weirdest things I have ever heard. I don't think he's bailing on the team unless he's bailing on the whole game. Because really, if he did ask to bail and the Tigers released him from his contract, who else would sign him? That makes no sense. I'm a little gobsmacked that the Tigers are continuing to pay him. It's not my money so I don't really care, but ... why? In any event, he's basically out of mind, the same way I'm thinking about Casey Mize, actually: when I consider the future fortunes of the team, I'm not expecting much of anything, so in terms of impact contributors, I'm looking past them. I see the building blocks, such as they are, as being Riley, TORK!, Javy, and Skubal, and that last guy has got to fix what's ailing him lately.

Ask him what he wants to be when he grows up. What are the chances he says Twitch star?
-
The moment it was decided to put almost all the eggs into the right-handed pitching basket, the rebuild was doomed.
-
If Al Avila is still the executive decision-maker when Spring Training starts next year, then quite possibly.
-
That would have required him to pay actual attention to how the Tigers are doing.

Lol

All due respect to your sister-in-law, that approach sounds to me less like freedom and more like neglect.

Given how divided and dysfunctional Congress is, at this point they can’t be relied upon to do anything in the interest of the American people. We are just a tool during elections, and a punchline the rest of the time. I get the idea that a regulatory agency can’t choose for itself what it regulates, but speaking strictly to the issue of whether the EPA should be able to regulate emissions, I’m disappointed that they’re not allowed to. And if they can’t do that, then what are we doing here?
