Is that good or bad?
Mediocre. On par with most of the rest of the Sun Belt. Most teams have an overall rating around the mid-70s

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

Anyone catch the App St. mention in the broadcast? Sounded like Troy was embarrassed about losing to us. Just goes to show that DiRito and Peterson can compete and beat just about anyone. I’d feel comfortable with those 2 against all teams except Georgia and Miss State. After this weekend, I have c...

Re: 25-26 in the books …

We did better than our SB main rivals except for CCU https://sunbeltsports.org/sports/2025/12/15/25_26_vic_bubas_cup_rankings.aspx and they sponsor a lot more SB teams than us. A shame SB does not sponsor wrestling and Field Hockey. We finished above JMU, Marshall, and GA Southern. That's good enou...

Re: 2026 Team Previews

English teacher, hmmm. Logic was sound, I mentioned your point in my post and a better way of how the money should have been utilized. In addition the results are proof, when did the inflection point occur? When the coaches got paid, when the stadium were upgraded, or when the players of certain pr...

Re: July 25 2026 Stadium Concert - Jon Pardi

Like Tom Petty said, modern cou try is just bad rock with a fiddle. I completely agree. Most of the country music today is just watered down rock with a twang. That's kind of ironic, because I think if Tom Petty were to just be starting in today's popular music world, he'd be pigeonholed as country...

Less than stellar predictions for the boys.

Re: Luke Combs

Kind of weird they seem to only do the individual schools ceremonies now instead of one big commencement. Seems with some of them being on Thursday and Friday during the day makes it harder for some to attend. My wife wants me to walk in December but it looks like it'll probably be at like 3pm on a...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

The high school kids these days seem to be getting into better music than the generation before them. Many of them are listening to grunge/alternative/indie rock from the 90's. And they all like AC/DC. Let's get back in Back in Black. It's weird how high school kids don't listen to current music. L...

Re: 2026 Baseball Mega Thread

What is ABS? It stands for "Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System" (so shouldn't it be ABSCS?) It's being used in MLB right now. The batter, pitcher, or catcher can challenge a ball or strike call if they disagree. Not sure how the SEC will handle it, but MLB puts limits on how often you can chall...

Re: LR grounds keeper hire

With the transfer portal and NIL and all, he won't be there long. Too much talent. Makes you wonder how he ended up at LR in the first place. Character issues? Grades?

I know that a few folks on this site used to read the Every Day Should Be Saturday blog and listen to the Shutdown Fullcast podcast (If you don't, you should). They are starting their annual charity drive right now! The charity helps New American Pathways, an Atlanta based non-profit that provides a...

Re: 3 year bachelor's degree, growing trend

We've strayed so far from the purpose of an education. There's so much money tied up in it. As an educator, it kinda sucks.

Re: March Madness discussion

Gawgia got spanked. Abson didn't make a huge splash, but he was FAR more efficient in his few minutes than the guys who got to play a lot longer. I've been following UGA since I'm in grad school there. IMO Abson was criminally underused while Blue Cain got 30 minutes of cardio every night. Lotta da...
