Being a UK football fan was hard. but yeah. It's been a long time since we swept the A's and lost to the 49ers
I think it will be pretty hard again next year. I have pretty much zero confidence in Wilson at QB, especially without Benny in the backfield. D should still be fairly solid, at least.
No. I grew up in OKC and my mom is an OSU alum. Eddie Sutton with Byron Houston during the 1990-1991 basketball season is what got me into CBB. The 1995 Final Four run is up there with any moment I’ve had watching KU.
I have never had an NBA team either. Probably has a lot to do with not growing up around a local NBA team. I did love the Bad Boys though! I don't ever watch it now unless it's the playoffs. I will follow former UK guys but that's about it.
I see the progress on the Raiders new stadium almost daily. It's going to be pretty damn nice. It better be since it will cost more than double what AT&T Stadium cost, at least $2.4 billion. The new LA stadium is even more than that.
Those numbers are just ****ing dumb and the exact reason why it costs a mortgage payment to attend a game
Yep, ridiculous. I assume a lot of the seats/suites have been bought by the local casinos to entertain high rollers. I don't even want to think about what kind of ridiculous food they'll have there. Certainly not the kind that should be eaten while watching football.
Wilkins was one of my favorites as a kid as well. I like the direction the Reds are moving in. Anxious to see what else they are going to pull out of the hat. I like where they are as far as position players go. Would like to see them add an ace or #2 starter (Keuchel or Kluber hopefully) and maybe another solid middle reliever. I don't think they are as far from competing as people think.
Yeah, I am not sure I like the idea of Senzel in the outfield. I would like to see them trade Scooter and get what they can for him this off-season since they don't seem likely to sign him long term and he's a free agent after this coming season. Bring Senzel up to play second. Right now they would probably have Schebler or Ervin in center although Ervin's not ready to be an everyday player and Schebler isn't ideal in center. I think Puig could play center in GABP no problem. I could see them flipping Puig or Kemp in a trade too since both are UFAs after this season. Plus Schebler and Winker have proven to be everyday players so there is suddenly a surplus of outfielders. They have cash to spend and players and prospects to offer in trade so it will be interesting to see what they do. Maybe they decide to sign a legit CF in free agency like Pollack or Span if they can trade away one of the other guys.
Yep, I think one of them will be on the move and I would bet they are certainly counting on some compensatory picks with a few guys after this season, especially since they sent Downs and Gray to LA. Might be tough to trade Scooter anyway since they already have limited middle infield depth. Maybe he becomes a hot commodity at the trade deadline and a team makes the Reds a great offer for him, that would be sweet.
Braves had a pretty crazy 15-year run from about 91 to 2005. Just wasn't fair having Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Avery, etc. on the same roster. 3 Cy Young winners in the same rotation.... ridiculous.
My aunt and uncle lived in San Fran so Ive been to a 7 or giants games in candlestick and what used to be called pac bell.
I used to dislike kobe, then I watched him in the olympics. It seemed like he was the only one getting after it defensively. For some reason I just warmed up to him after that and he became one of my favorites. I love guys that hate to lose and are known for outworking everyone else.
He was my generations Michael. Not sure if the game will ever see something like those two again. They would rather kill you on the court and have no one like them than be buddy-buddy with the entire league. Have to respect that.
