Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Jaxbuck
First round pick is Justin Lebron, SS from Alabama.

See if this sounds familiar-dripping with physical tools, 70 power tool....hits .230 this year in college. He struggles with high velo and anything that spins.

Cool. I'm excited. We need more guys like that in the organization.

maybe later rounds we can get some more pitchers that throw real hard but have no control.

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

calibuck
Could be just me, but was/am of the opinion that 'naming rights' is transitory. In other words, you pay X to have your name there, but after, what, five years? Then the rights are used up and unless there's a continuation clause in the contract, tOSU can go out for another round of bidding. Certainly a company wants to be recognized, but they might have to make a decision if the marketing expense is gaining them market share/sales etc. Guess I'm saying that 'buying' may be a misnomer, but 'renting' is more likely. Sort of a continuing money maker for the AD. PS, does anyone know if the debt for building all of these wonderful facilities is being defeased? Eventually the interest on this big number can take away from NIL etc. See US Debt levels, versus amount of US budget required to service said debt.

OSU Women's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

calibuck
Kitts is (to me at least) an enigma. See her floating around the 'crumb area' to pick up long rebounds, and doing her pull-up thing away from the reach of their bigs. Haven't really seen her get dirty fighting for rebounds. (I could have been going to the fridge when might have happened). Anyway, her injury profile leaves much to learn about her. Yeah, hope for the best, do know that when she comes in, that there will/seems to be a spark in the offense. Rereading what I wrote, don't misunderstand, believe that tOSU is stronger with her than without. Also wonder how McDuff will utilize these pieces to enhance the team performance effectively.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Jaxbuck
Trying to run two businesses, one of which is in a rapidly changing environment, under the outdated framework of an old University simply is to going to work.

Big college athletics isn’t the same as the big school. Two different entities, two different goals, two different guidance systems needed.

You can game financials for a while but ultimately they are like spandex and little kids, they always tell the truth.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Scottish Open, breaking his 78 made cuts in a row streak, which was the second longest streak of all time behind 90-something by Tiger. The current longest streak is now 27 by Matt Fitzpatrick. Meanwhile, on the LPGA Tour, world #1 Nelly Korda also missed the cut, breaking her 34 made cuts in a row streak. I imagine that if one had parlayed prop bets on both of those things happening, one would be in high cotton.

Edit: I asked the Google what the estimated parlay payout would have been for a $10 bet and, with explained assumptions and showing its arithmetic, it said $1,540.

College Football Playoffs Expansion Discussion

Maybe perhaps the wrong thread but Atlanta will continue to host quarterfinal and semi-final games in the future:

2028-2031 - Mercedes Benz stadium will host CFP games

1). Beautiful, easy to get to stadium
2). Plenty of reasonable accomodations
3). Track record of hosting big events well
4). Airport is incredible

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there.

Ha - I just Googled the GPS coordinates of all of the 6 bowl games. And I get that AI is unreliable, so feel free to fact check my numbers. But guess which bowl game is farthest north?

Spoiler Alert:
Orange Bowl is at 25.777 Lat
Sugar Bowl is at 29.951 Lat
Cotton Bowl is at 32.779 Lat
Fiesta Bowl is at 33.527 Lat
Peach Bowl is at 33.755 Lat
Rose Bowl is at 34.161 Lat

For reference, Columbus, Ohio is at 39.962.
Ha. Look at a map. Draw a line from Pasadena through Atlanta. All 6 bowl games are on or below that line.
Also funny to me: In 12 years, 6 champions come from north of that line, and 6 come from south of that line. (I'm pretty sure that Clemson is just north of that line, so that's how I counted them.)

NHL (Official Thread)

Anaheim matched. That was an impossible position to be placed in for them. In a few years, that contract might not look that awful as the cap keeps rising, but for now they have to make Carlsson the highest paid player in the game and he's never scored more than 70 pts in a season. :lol: They better hope he becomes a consistent 90-100 point guy, and I'm not sure he does.

Totally gums up their spending capability and they're gonna have to pay Gauthier, too, soon. Plus they have to cobble together a blue line. I'm not sure I wouldn't have taken the 4 firsts.

Moral of the story - lock up your young core early and don't be a jackass negotiating.
