I'm getting my can kicked this week but it was coming at some point. Just trying to make it respectable at this point.

If the fucking "global drowning" would stop and we could play some baseball, it would help. Ya know none of those political honks ever talk about the global drowning only the warming.

Stevies back! Going to DH which is perfect imo. Need as many heavy righties as we can get. Trevino has grown on me though so getting them both in the lineup is nice. Hopefully Hunter gets to pitch tonight so he can shake off that short stint last time out.

In pretty good shape.

A 4star LB from an OH powerhouse going to a blue blood program, I can assure you is getting paid from visits. He just got back from Oregon last weekend too for their "final offer"

This shoots a giant hole in the SEC is so much tougher to win in than the B1G. Saban was just that dude.

Nice win yesterday. Key for Saturday: don’t turtle. Pun intended. UMD’s D is for real. The outside shooting will have to be on point to spread the D out so they can work the ball the way that have thus far. They’ve moved the ball very well so far and it’s given them a LOT of time and space shots. I don’t think you beat UMD with that alone, but it’s part of the recipe for getting them out of position and finding the matchups they want.

It would be nice to get the auto-bid but this group will get an at large even if they don’t win on Saturday.

I’ll have two kids that I’ve coached in the NCAA tourney. It will be cool to watch.

At least nobody will say anything bad about him from the USC stands now.

After this "magnificent sweep" the Buckeyes lost to West Virginia, were swept by USC, lost to Kent State and were swept by Minnesota. Then they proved that they "might" be able to compete in a lower division by crushing Wright State. Then they got swept by Michigan State.

Funny story is I've known this kid when he was little(my wife was friends with his mom). My wife mentioned her the other day and asked if I remembered little Kobe. She said that he was football player for St. X now, and I had to a double take and ask if his name was Jakobe. She said yes, and gave me a weird look. I told her the kid was really freaking good. The mom is a bartender, and my wife said she wanted to start a GoFundme so she had help when they travel to colleges. As you can see my wife is not as well versed in CFB recruiting, so I had to break NIL down to her, and that all of his visits they were in fact being paid. And wherever he signed, he would be making more money than his family had ever seen. Its funny seeing people who still don't realize how much money is being paid in CFB

Not buying it. Until Hill says he’s not coming I ain’t buying it

That will be $44.99 (regularly $77.99). Will that be cash or charge?

Oh, FFS, Allar is the definition of "meh". The most mid of mid QBs. Give me a break. I would take that Clemson QB or the LSU QB before this guy.

Blue Jackets Have A General Idea Of Their First Round Draft Position With Minnesota Being Eliminated​

With the Vegas Golden Knights eliminating the Minnesota Wild last night, Don Waddell will have two top-20 draft picks in the upcoming NHL Draft.

The Blue Jackets have their own pick, which will be 13. However, they have a tiny chance of moving up as far as #3 in the draft order, but that's highly unlikely.

The pick they got from the Wild in the David Jiříček trade a few months back is at 20. There is a chance that, should the St. Louis Blues beat the Winnipeg Jets and then win the second round to advance to the West Finals, the pick could move to 19.

The most likely scenario is that the CBJ will pick 13 and 20.

FWIW, here are 2 mock draft swith the Blue Jackets going for a goalie with the 20th pick....

2025 NHL Mock Draft​

13 Lynden Lakovic
F Moose Jaw WHL

20 Joshua Ravensbergen*
G Prince George WHL

2025 NHL Mock Draft: Pronman projects all 32 first-round picks before the lottery​

13. Columbus Blue Jackets: Jackson Smith, LHD, Tri-City (WHL)​

Smith is a mobile, competitive defender with legit offense who projects to play a lot of minutes as a pro. Columbus adds a significant defense piece, which is ideal after David Jiricek didn’t work out.

20. Columbus Blue Jackets: Joshua Ravensbergen*, G, Prince George (WHL)​

Ravensbergen was one of the top goalies in Canadian junior hockey this season. He’s big and athletic and tracks pucks well. Columbus, with no clear future No. 1 in the system, takes a swing on upside in net.

* APPARENTLY HE IS THE TOP RATED GOALIE:
No. 25: Joshua Ravensbergen, G, 6-foot-5, 190 pounds, Prince George Cougars (WHL)
NHL Projection: No. 1/1B NHL goalie.
Ravensbergen is an athletic goalie who is big in his net. He plays a butterfly style, has very good feet and tracks the play on time moving laterally. His length provides him an opportunity to make second saves that some smaller goalies aren’t capable of reaching. I appreciate how aggressive Ravensbergen is challenging shooters at the top of his crease, especially when he fights to find pucks directed on net through traffic. He’s the top-rated goaltender in the draft class.

So right now the big nonconference games appear to be @ Pitt, home vs ND, neutral vs. UNC, and I'm sure they're working on another event at a neutral site.
