I wish Bo had just played baseball. Generational talent IMO

He had a great set of tools. Top of the scale Speed & Power, with a plus Arm.

He had already put up back to back 25-25 seasons playing ~125 games. And had hit .275 in his last healthy season.

Had he concentrated on Baseball, you likely could have moved him to CF with his speed. And you’re looking at an above average defensive centerfielder capable of hitting .280 with 30-30 power-speed. Those guys are super rare.

Foul play not suspected? That seems pretty sketchy

Edit* didnt realize he was 95. . . maybe it was something like carbon monoxide

First thought…and hope. Sad as that is.

Wait....that is really the strategy the NCAA lawyers are going with?

There is potential that if we win out, we could elevate all the way to the 2 seed. Kudos to Auburn! That is an impressive conference record with how difficult this conference is this year.

Yeah Auburn is elite, has a deep bench, and is very veteran too. Tough combo to top. Doesn't hurt they have a good coach also.

Regarding age of college basketball teams thanks to NIL portal shuffles. It isn't just Auburn. We, Mississippi, and Bama are on that age list too. The difference is only Auburn has Broome. He should be POY imo. No one has a higher +/-.





The strictly one and done rosters like Calipari used to run are done IMO.

The first episode of Scooby-Doo is closer to WWI than today.

Has the NCAA gone after any other college baseball teams for portal activity? If so, who? Honest question; idk. But I notice this is the 2nd time in 2 years they have gone after Tony.

Atlanta Vol said the NCAA's intention in the Nico case was to rope in baseVols and basketVols and go for a lack of institutional control hit job. I didn't notice them doing that when they covered up and stalled for Michigan.

Decent data if maybe not a touch obvious. As a math guy i never hate on people trying to find rhyme or reason, but I know some don't like him.

People don’t like me?

I will give Pearl credit, his smartest coaching move for this season was realizing he had such an experienced team and scheduling these teams early in OOC to take advantage.

Tough one. Gene Hackman along with his wife and dog found dead at their home. RIP to a legend. Foul play not suspected.

Sad day. One of the best to ever do it. Had not been in a movie for 20 years or so. I believe Welcome To Mooseport was his last.

RIP to a great one.

My friend Jay had twin girls. He wanted to name them after him.

I suggested Kaye and Elle.
