    Post is not a US citizen, right? Not eligible for NIL. Which is a rule that should be changed, but probably the reason he stayed because he couldn't capitalize elsewhere.

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    Now I'm hearing Harris and Aligbe in the portal along with Zackery. Do these guys not want to play for Grant, or are they not getting paid enough? Very discouraging to see we are likely starting from scratch yet again

    Zackery in the portal. With Post and Zackery gone next year could be a big step backwards unless Grant can work the portal in the other direction.

    2020-23 College Hockey thread

    It was Perreault not Gauthier but a stupid penalty all the same which they managed to kill. They need to step it up in the third

    Potential new NFL rules

    No proposal to change the rule that gives possession to the defense on a fumble that goes out of the end zone? That to me is the dumbest rule in the NFL

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    I played on the BC golf team in '85 and '86. Ed Carroll was the golf coach AND the associate athletic director. I can tell you first hand that he was WAY, WAY, WAY more interested in what was going on with the footbal team than he was with the golf team. He didn't even go to most of our...

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    Other sports definitely benefitted, but the internal meetings at BC in 2005 didn't start with "We need to move to the ACC so Baseball and Women's Lax will have better competition". So to use your analogy, there are definitely other teams on the bus, but Football is definitely driving. I...

    I was talking strictly Basketball. Other sports are a different case. I'm an '86 grad, so this is where I'm at. There was nothing like the Big East games against Syracuse, St John's, Georgetown, 'Nova, PC, Seton Hall, UConn. They don't have the rivalries in the ACC. Even the ACC games...

    I really wish BC was back in the Big East for Basketball. That's where they belong, along with Syracuse. It's a better match geographically, and with the exception of UConn they are on a similar level with the other schools competitively. Of course football prevents that from ever...

    Doogie does defense, the Sam Hauser thread

    Benches and the first row of seats are too close to the floor. But the owners aren't giving up a row of lower level seats so these type of injuries are the result

    Gritty not pretty only takes you so far. Poor shooting has derailed them the last couple of years.

    20+ wins would be nice. They haven't done it in 13 years. Post needs to avoid stupid fouls

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    They looked good yesterday, but of course that could be more about Miami being bad. I'm not a gambler, but I told my son before the game that BC at -2.5 looked like stealing money to me.

    What's the theory on their apparent change in philosophy? Did they finally see the light after Hafley's exit interview? Or maybe O'Brien made it contingent on accepting the job?

    2024 PGA Tour

    Obviously there are a handful of top players missing from PGA Tour events, but that list of lesser name winners is more a result of the signature events than anything else. The top guys are skipping a lot of the non signature events, so that opens the door wider for the long shots. Of...

    2024 PGA Tour

    Besides Rory the quality of golf was pretty mediocre in The Match, but I found it entertaining. Barkley played the fool as usual, but I thought he was funny and also asked some surprisingly good questions from an amateur perspective. Somebody asked Lexi Thompson if she had played under the...

    2024 NBA Draft

    I've seen Donovan Clingan from UConn projected as a lottery pick. Not sure why he would be considered a better prospect than Edey. He's probably quicker, and slightly more athletic? But he doesn't have much range either, and is a lousy FT shooter.

    NBA All-Star Game Weekend 2024 with Dunks, Skills, 3 Point Competitions, ASG: Hooiser Daddy?

    168 uncontested three pointers attempted in the game, 97 by the East. The only thing remotely interesting about that was Dame's half court shots, which looked like normal jumpers compared to the heaves most guys throw up from that distance. In the past the games at least had guys making much...
