What if Bobby is on the commitee?

AGREED.

Looks like he has the fade to the pylon down. The one thing that sticks out to me, is something that I have heard TB say multiple times...."quick decision making."

Maybe it was because Milan wasn't on the roster, but I didn't realize we got a 22 year old Serbian power forward for LBJ. That was some trade. Wonder if he ever went one on one with Cvetinovic?

Now tell me again, what did the Cavs get in this trade for the greatest basketball player on the planet? I think I missed that in all the chaos that was created.

Top Headline in the Trib!?!?

2011 Numbers Texas is king in total number of players - though it just edges out Florida (345 to 344). California (253), Georgia (170) and Ohio (144) are the only other states with more than 100 signees. NFL Talent...isn't to say warm weather is a prerequisite for producing top talent. Cities like Cincinnati (13), Detroit (13), Cleveland (10) and Pittsburgh (10) also produce Division I and professional talent at a high clip.

Nike Advertising, very efficient.

Feel free to discuss below.Here is Channel 5's Mark Johnson's reaction:

If you google "akron zips basketball", gozips is the first three sites that come up.

I stopped reading after the joke "football gets marketed to death." Now that's a funny one. You can add every basketball game to your electronic calendar with one click by downloading the ical file here. If you watched Zips Basketball with Keith Dambrot on STO on Mondays, they tell you when EVERY upcoming game is for the week, then they replay the show four more times. If you can't figure out when the basketball games are, your really not that much of a fan IMO.

For those interested, you can watch the game live here. Gamecocks win 4-1 F. Roth pitches complete game two hitter with eight strikeouts! Portage County Hysteria comes to an end.

My Great Aunt used to have a saying for what you just did...."trying to make chicken salad out of chicken s@!t" I'm with HT...

3-Star Scout Recruit Commits to MSU According to Rivals, Hicks' offer list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisville, Minnesota, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Syracuse, Virginia and West Virginia, among other schools. Akron offered, but he didn't visit and was listed as "not interested" I list this because of TB's comment in his radio interview on June 5th where he stated "We need to put up a fence around the Akron, Canton, Cleveland and Youngstown area. Any recruit not going to OSU, should be coming to Akron." Hopefully putting some W's up this year starts to change the minds of recruits like Darian.

Okay, here you go: Ten Teams Banned for Academic Failings (the comment below the article made me laugh) I thought Toledo was one of the few entertaining MAC teams to watch last season. They have some exciting/entertaining talent on the team.

What if that senior (that knows the offense) gives us the best chance to win our early games, but the younger guy gets more practice time (snaps) in to learn the new offense the first month(s), and then takes over?

Dierdork wrestles with the rules of football Sundays in the fall on CBS.

I remember interviews with Carlton Haselrig about how the skill set transfers. Carlton never played football in college. He holds the distinction of being the only person to win six NCAA titles in wrestling, winning 3 times in Division II and 3 times in Division I, all six for Pitt–Johnstown. In his third NFL season, Haselrig became a Pro Bowl offensive guard for the Steelers.

I like the Keener quote! Don't be bitter Keener.

Even the Zips are getting publicity out of Ken+s big run. Example Here.

Ask Terry, I'm sure he'll give you the same answer he gave us.

According to ESPN_Omaha The Gamecocks will play Can't State in an elimination game Wednesday 8pm ETon ESPN.

For those of you that didn't know Sirius/XM changed the channel lineup on May 4th. This will effect where you listen to college football on your satellite radio this fall. Channel Lineup If for some reason your sirius radio did not update channels, see #3 here. You may have to refresh manually. I'll bump this back up at the end of August when the schedule comes out. MLB Bonus (I just figured this out last week) I'll share in case some of you don't know. All SiriusXM subscribers will be able to listen to MLB broadcasts through the SiriusXM internet radio.

"He broke his wrists", "The bat went past the front of the plate." Many people believe those two statements are written in the rules or are written as official interpretations of a strike. They are not. A strike by definition is "a pitch that is struck at by the batter and is missed." It is purely a judgment made by the umpire as to whether the batter "struck at" the pitch. Breaking the wrists or the bat moving beyond the front of the plate or the batter's body, are factors that the umpire may use to make the judgment. Factors is all they are; not definitions. It is not automatically a strike when a batter holds the bat over the plate preparing to bunt and does not pull it back when the pitch goes by. The same judgment applies. Did the batter "strike at" the pitch? It is not automatically a strike when a batter is ducking an inside pitch and he spins around and the bat crosses the plate. The umpire must judge if he was avoiding the pitch or striking at it. Source: Rule 2.00 Strike You can download official baseball rules here. See page 27.

Ken+ Getting National Exposure By Elton Alexander, The Plain Dealer Omaha, Neb. -- It's fair to say that what Can't State has reaped, in terms of branding and recognition from its NCAA College World Series appearance -- not to mention advertising value -- has been a plus for the university. There's no doubt Can't baseball has received a lot of exposure. Certainly more than a college volleyball, soccer or hockey championship run made by other Mid-American Conference schools in recent years. First time I watched a college baseball game (on tv) last night. Watched the 5th through the 9th. Good game. I'm shocked Ken+ got out of the 9th. I would have pulled that pitcher. He was awful.
