RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

I hate when they call someone a"poor mans" anything. The poor are the ones fighting and winning or fucking wars and have been.

I'll take a poor hungry guy in a fight over a rich kid any day.

I don’t really care for player comparisons in general. I mean I know Day is at minimal a good ball knower but prime Hill is an incomparable player to anyone. He is absolutely one of the most explosive and fastest wide receivers ever.

I don’t really have a point. Oh well still posting, sorry everyone.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

It was a relief to see the decision on Ryan’s brick in OT go the Bucks way for Fishback, so it wasn’t 0-12 after 4 matches.
I was screaming at the TV as soon as he got the takedown. I told my wife Ryan heard me and decided to challenge. She very emphatically stated she didn't think so. She's such a Negative Nancy

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 19 Straight B1G Titles)

great question Calibuck
So this practice you describe has been called stacking and sometimes can offer an underdog team enough advantage to upset a stronger opponent.
The practice violates NCAA sportsmanship codes so NCAA has added some boundaries to protect the integrity of the lineup system.
Each player on a teams roster has a UTR Universal tennis ranking and a wtn (ranking system used by ITA).
I have read that coaches are required to show evidence from team challenge matches to justify their lineup when jumping a player w lower UTR or WTN above a higher UTR.
In dual meets coaches submit lineups in advance and in ita and ncaa tournaments opposing coaches have the right to challenge the submitted lineup. If challenge is successful the lineup is adjusted accordingly.
This seems to offer a better correction for attempts to stack.
I'm glad I re read this because I was gonna be one of "those" people lol . I originally read it saying utr is used by the ncaa.. But they switched to wtn as the official ranking either last year or 2024.

I almost had to become heavily invovled with wtn but I pushed back a little against it.

How about them Miami (O) basketball team?

Big road game at Marshall out of conference today. I would guess Miami can lose 1 game max in the regular season and then if they lost in the conf tournament to a decent team would still get a bid.

2 regular season losses plus a conf tournament loss would probably be curtains with that terrible SOS and their best win vs Akron at home.

I would really like to see Miami OH go unbeaten then lose in the finals to Akron or Kent State and the MAC get 2 teams. That is what would be best for the conference and the NCAA tournament to have 2 good mid majors in the dance.
