April 10 – An interesting look at the NCAA stats … How many times have you heard the saying that penalties will get you beat? The truth of the matter is that a lack of penalties will get you beat even quicker. Of the top 10 teams in college football last season in least yards penalized, six of them had losing records. With that list including such teams as Northwestern, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Navy, Air Force, and Stanford, it looks like the lack of penalties points more toward how smart you are than how good you are. Incidentally, the national champion Florida Gators finished the season ranked 109th out of 119 schools in least yards penalized and only one team in the final top 10 made it into the top 35 least-penalized teams.

And now we know why DD was so lax on discipline. :ph34r:

      Morris signals it is over

      Here’s a quick list of a possible Mini Professional league. I really think I would be great if the Top 30 broke away. That would leave a lot of name teams and I think would be nothing at all like DII, but rather a very good league that would have lots of interest. The point is not to argue the teams I listed. I know several on here are debatable and I didn’t list a few that could probably be here. This is not a researched list, so there could also be a few teams that I simply didn’t think about. Top 25 (in no particular order) Michigan Ohio St. Nebraska Penn St USC UCLA Washington Wisconsin Oregon LSU Alabama Tennessee Ole Miss aTm Texas Oklahoma Georgia Florida Florida St Clemson Miami Auburn Arkansas Notre Dame Iowa Next 20 (again, no particular order, but I did give state schools a bit more preference otherwise I would definitely take off Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, and South Carolina) Arizona Utah North Carolina Michigan St Kentucky Illinois Minnesota Virginia Colorado Arizona St Missouri Texas Tech Oklahoma St. South Carolina Indiana Kansas Mississippi St. Baylor Virginia Tech Syracuse

      AAC Softball Tournament

      One bad umpire call in the bottom of the 5th just started Tulsa on a downward spiral after being up 8-4. A WSU player swung and missed or foul tipped on an 0-2 count and it was caught by the catcher, but low. I guess there was no video replay available and the ump must have ruled dropped ball by the catcher? The Tulsa coach was livid. They reset the count again at 0-2 and of course then the player gets a single and a snowball from there. WSU went on to score 7 runs that inning which included several throwing errors or dropped balls by Tulsa.

      Yeah it seems Tulsa has blown a lot of leads this year. We have too but Tulsa's blown leads seemed bigger. Now FAU has to play after a week off against the home team who has scored 24 runs in 2 games. Barnard has hit like four homers lol.

      Amid portal era, Calipari hints at limiting Ark. roster to '8 or 9 guys'

      Calipari said the turnover in college basketball in the transfer portal era has changed his philosophy on assembling rosters. "You may think I'm crazy, but I told my staff I only want to have eight or nine guys," Calipari told Robinson, who is now executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "They're leaving anyway, and why would I develop a kid for someone else? Why would I do that?" Calipari said he has talked to other coaches who have discussed similar strategies. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40115234/amid-portal-era-calipari-hints-limiting-arkansas-roster-8-9-guys (Injuries would be a good reason to stock extra players, as NT saw last season)
