Spin

That depends on age. When I was that age and playing sports, yelling was a huge motivator. Now, I don't think I would have quite the same response. LOL

14-3!!

OT but it's nice to see Kevin Hogan finally throw a TD pass. LOL

I'm n Chrome ans still good.

Chromecasting the feed to my TV now. Works as good as ESPN3.

I'll take the over. LOL. How about almost 6 years? They would still be on if it wasn't for the three timeslot changes. The first because Jay Mohr got pissed because his show was being pre-empted by these locals. Then again because the radio station finally figured out nobody wanted to listen to Jay Mohr at any time. Then they moved them again to open the drive time slot for Mark "Munch" Bishop. Munch's schtick got old on WKNR and he was demoted to 1000 watt (that's not a typo) KNR2. That put Big Time Sports up against Ken Carman in 92.3 The Fan, who has a big following. You know, the same Ken Carman WARF forced "the Fishhead" on even though the twoi hated each other? Then fired Carman for a syndicated national show nobody heard of? There's some real dumbasses running that station. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Not the most listenable couple on the radio, but had great coverage of local college and high school sports.

I got home from work and couldn't get the stream to work. First time I've had trouble with E3 in awhile.

Nice to see some people have come back in from the ledge. Fun game to watch, still room for improvement. But it's hard to argue with 2-0 in the conference.

It could be worse. We could be the Browns...

Zips win!!! Somewhere iCoach is proud

...if it ever ends

And the stream is down. It's only fitting.

Nice Pick-6

Well that didn't last long...

Now we're in the driver's seat...

This is what happens when a stoppable object meets a resistible source.

Jeeezez...

You guys who get to travel a lot have a whole different perspective of the area than those of us who never leave the Rust Belt. Even on vacations we go to Tennessee or Kentucky, next year Michigan on our annual NASCAR trip. This sort of thing has a "normal" feel to it for a lot of people.

Try a video grabber on your PC. I haven't tried one yet, but I need to,

I use ChromeCast. plug it into a slot on your TV, then anything you bring up on your computer goes on your big screen TV. ESPN3, YouTube, other streaming services. Or you can watch it on a tablet or notebook if you're doing something else (using the rest room, putzing in the garage or basement, sitting outside on a nice day...).

How deep do you go? When the Sweater Vest went down in flames, Gene Smith and the Bowtie walked away scot free. But does anybody on this forum or anywhere else really think these two REALLY had nothing to do with that? Gene is still there, pocketing $1.5 mil a year, Gee would still be there if he hadn't shown his true colors. Still, WVU caught his fall to the tune of $3/4 mill... At Penn State the old boy club got what they deserved, but did anybody above them take part in the cover up? And who hired the kiddie fondlers and the secret keepers in the first place? Penn State got hit hard, but it was hardly a death penalty, more a chance to clean house of all the sludge out of the system and start building a playoff-contending program. Something JoPa hadn't done in 17 years. So yeah it was a rough couple years between bowl games, but... I'm not seeing the punishment fitting the crime in any of these cases. Pitino falls on his sword, the program gets some wins "vacated" () the AD throws him under the bus and keeps his $1.4m salary. The president pretends to dust the dirt off his sleeves and moves onto the next topic. A handful of "students" get their payola and schollys taken away, probably go to another contending program, and start.The other handful of "student" athletes may miss out on the Dance. While getting more playing time. And 10 years from now, it'll be another program (maybe coached by Pitino) getting their hand slapped too.

Interesting question. Was he a violent man because he was a football player, or was he a successful football player because he was a violent man? Can the family sue the Patriots and the NFL without pinpointing when he developed CTE? Was it in high school? College? Was he in a lot of fights outside the sport?

We know that soccer players do suffer from concussions, we don't know how often. They're not going to say anything that might get them pulled from the game. As much of a worldwide sport soccer is, it surprises me that it's not being studied further. And it's ironic a lot of parents are pushing their kids toward soccer as an alternative to football, in part because of the media, it might not be a hell of a lot safer. There definitely is a strong correlation between post traumatic symptoms among football players, and the evidence with the CTE testing is further proof. I've seen people question the use of steroids and PED's, or drugs. But we don't see the same tendencies in other athletes. That probably is the reason the spotlight is on football. The sheer numbers, and the violence involved. It's a risk-reward type of thing. Being a football player in school, a race car driver, firefighter, etc there is a thrill involved, and part of that is the risk. There is a goal that you are working toward and a feeling of accomplishment if you do. But there's also that chance that things could turn out bad. Which is a thrill for some in itself. Another lure is the comraderie among football teammates and firefighters that I have not seen anywhere else besides the military (I wasn't in the military FTR). But that's another subject. Or is it? Maybe that all comes from the same part of the brain. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I took a break from the forum (and the U) during the Scar era, so we haven't taken a look at what Zips alum have been doing in the pros lately. SP Chris Bassitt (2011) had five starts this year for the A's, going 0-2 6.11 before being shut down for Tommy John surgery. He hopes to recover in time for Spring Training. OF Devon Ahart and OF Joey Havrilak are playing independent league ball, hoping for another shot at the majors. SP JT Brubaker went 7-6 4.44 for AA Altoona. I didn't catch him at Canal Park.
