Hey! You suck!
I think that's why NC State wasn't throwing a fit about it. He knew he would basically need a miracle to even compete let alone win with whatever roster he could piece together.
I have never played Disc Golf, but there is a course about 1/2 mile from my house.
I counted about 5 seconds in the air for the one guy's shot. Just wow!

Vandy with a chance to win the CWS tonight after doubling up MISS St in Game 1 last night. 6pm ? on ESPN
That first inning screwed us. We outplayed Vandy the rest of the way but the damage was done.
Looking forward to evening it up tonight.

I think you mean Mississippi State with a chance to win the CWS tonight after blowing out Vandy in Game 2 last night.

Hopefully the Bulldogs are a combination of overconfident and also full of nerves in the finale, while Vandy should be used to the spotlight and pressure. I don't know, should be a good game though.
I didn't like Vandy's approach last night with the all Freshman pitching unit. If they don't win tonight, they don't get a doover for last night.

You guys have some really good players. Loved the hackers approach at the plate and aggressive base running. They played a very clean game. Beat Notre Dame the same way. The pitchers and centerfielder were really fun to watch
Appreciate it. I thought Lemonis (our coach) did an amazing job coaching the series…maybe outside of starting McLeod in game 1 but you take away that first inning and the games were not even close.
It’s been a long time coming for Mississippi State baseball to win a natty and I am not ashamed to say that, despite what Tom Hanks said, I was teary eyed standing in TD Ameritrade on Wednesday night.
These finals were kinda like the recent basketball finals. The team with less star power put it all together and played the 2 games of their lives. Nothing wrong with that.
It’s the old saying - “ya gotta play / win on the field, not on paper”.
And Vandy still gets huge kudos for waltzing right on through to the finals, twice in a row. Still dominant. Probably be there again next year.

So what's the NIL status in Tennessee? Kind of expecting the Vols to see it as a recruiting lifesaver...
Our neighbor Trey Knox was one of the first to sign a NIL deal. I expect small deals for the baseball guys.

Going to the Nashville SC game tomorrow! I've never been to a pro soccer game so interested to see what it's like.
It's fun! There's a cheering section very reminiscent of early 303 days, lots of energy and enthusiasm and wearing blue and gold. I haven't been since before the pandemic and only went to Nissan a couple of times (it was still minor league and at the ball field then)
Corner kicks are good if it's your team, bad if it isn't. They do fall down a lot. Extra time is weird. I've watched the game for years and I still can't figure out how they determine how much penalty time will be added on or where you look to find out how much you're talking about. There are a lot of ties.
Since the clock never stops the 4th official keeps a rough idea of how much time is spent with any stoppages due to injury, substitutions or any thing else that stops plays and then they tack it on at the end of each half.
Soccer games are a lot of fun. Haven’t been able to make a Nashville SC game yet but I did grab tickets for the USMNT World Cup qualifier in September

They also use the referee board, if anyone is looking to find out how much time there is. Usually in the game you'd see the board displaying two numbers in red and green to signal player substitutions, but they also use the board at the end of halfs to display how much stoppage time remains.
Substitution...
Extra Time...
I do understand that concept, I just find it baffling. I look at the stat sheet and it's not like you can add and subtract penalties and what have you and come up with anything resembling the numbers they come up with. If one side has 14 penalties and the other side has 3 (I'm just making up numbers, obviously) but one was a red card and someone lays on the field for 5 minutes how do you reconcile all that? And why don't they at least tell the audience how much time is left in the game? You don't know whether it's 90 + 1 or 90 + 7! I need to know when to worry, people!

Ah, thanks, that helps a lot!
