One of the biggest repercussions of the transfer portal and NIL for mid-major schools has been losing key players, especially following a successful season in that school’s given conference.

Saturday in Lubbock went about as well as most of us (should have) expected – although the way it went down certainly was interesting. At least we didn’t end up with a running clock in this one, although there were some hard feelings after the game as it sounds like Tech fans were throwing more […]

I was amazing to me to see how few people were posting on the Cavs game threads. Most of the forums that were very active when LeBron was back with the team are ghost towns without any posts for a couple of years. Others have game threads but very few posters. Very sad. So, not a lot of comments today. The Celtics looked good with the caveat that the Cavs starters didn't play. I really like Minott, Boucher and Garza. Simons can score and I don't ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates have plenty of holes to fill. Just about anything other than starting rotation could be classified as an immediate need. However, one of the biggest needs is more bats for an anemic offense, and the team addresses that in the latest MLB Pipeline MLB mock draft. While the real MLB Draft Lottery […]

Two games into the season, and it's important to take a deep breath and remember that, good or bad, we can't overindex on anything we've seen so far. It's easy to get caught up in the hype of a small sample size and let it deceive you. That happened last season, when Matt Boldy put together not...
