"....baseball is a game of pace..."

Boost Mobile eh? Makes perfect sense.

Probably not, since they most likely weren't packing armor piercing rounds.

And don't even start about all the third kits and changing the away kit's colors from year to year.

Drew, be a man...you take the jump. Head first. No prison lovin', no poopy man-diapers. Terror, then sweet release.

The fact is that the Sounders draw 35,000+, which is factored into the equation. This isn't a piece on what constitutes a major sport, quite simply we are talking about asses in the seats. I think the interesting part, which you touched on, is whether those 35,000+ would be going to other sporting events or if they…

Since Joe was such a fan of the Classics I think he's due the ancient Greek and Roman method of simply scrubbing the name and image off of everything, but leaving the scar of where his name\face once was prominent. That way, anytime someone 30 years from now notices the strange scarring on the facade of the PSU…

Do you take the national titles away as well?

Given the mobster past of Chicago, perhaps "Informer" wasn't the best way to start the show.

Strangely enough, shitting has become a relatively clean endeavor these days thanks to the Japanese.

So, if I'm Jim Delaney, I'm looking at the quickest way to drop PSU from the Big Ten right? If I were in their shoes I'd want to jettison them ASAP.

Destroy a school that's getting record donations? Don't think so. And so what if PSU goes the way SMU does...you do the crime you do the time.

Instead of like, you know, maybe pressure from the top quashed any charges being brought. Have you not been paying attention to the good-ol boy network that was working in State College? A handshake and a wink from Joe would have been enough to melt some small town dick's heart and make him forget all about charges…

You know I'm actually struggling with your question. I've already answered it 3 different times only to erase and start from scratch. I mean on the one hand, fuck the NCAA. But on the other, they should have a better handle on this. I mean fuck the NCAA for just now admitting that they might want to investigate a…

So here's a question: When do we get to charge the NCAA with lack of institutional control?

In a word: yes. You are right to point to every other major college and the cult of personality that is purposefully crafted around head coaches. This is all done to maximize the earning potential of fundraising events. Hell by the end of his career Joe was more of a fundraiser than he was a coach. This entire…

Here's the big problem: your former coach, may he rot in hell, raised boatloads of cash for your university. This led to him holding sway over every single thing that went on in that neck of the woods (a very scary part of the woods it would seem). Joe held his fundraising over PSU like the sword of Damocles, and…

Beyond MLB, is there any push to recruit these kids for college baseball? Or is the whole system set up, with signing bonuses, etc, that it robs kids of any potential eligibility well before college age?
