Seems kinda lowly rated for someone with alleged offers from Auburn, FSU, UCLA, ISU and ASU Did these other schools recruit Powell for a different position than he wanted? Are we recruiting him solely for TE? Powell has the frame to play DE as well. Either way, adding 20-30 lbs will make good use o...

So in a practical sense, how does ASU's staff fill in for THREE missing assistant coaches? That's kind of a big deal when it comes to strategizing and game prep, right? Or does ASU bring all three back during zero week to get their players pumped for big bad Southern Utah?

Are the Lakers a better team by adding Westbrook? Yes, but probably not by as much as yesterday's "hot takes" tout. Westbrook will be an aggressive shooter but not necessarily the effective shooter they're hoping for; he's barely a more efficient shooter than the Shroder/Caruso tandem. Westbrook's m...

I wonder if the SEC knows that if Texas joins the horribly arrogant Longhorns regents would expect all the SEC schools to begin lining up and answering to them. Good thing for the SEC that a number of schools like Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Florida wouldn't hesitate telling them to go F off. It's on...

Why is it that if the SEC does something everybody else must respond in kind??? Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are NOT, NOT, NOT (!) schools the Pac 12 should consider. Stop overreacting.

If Texas and OU do leave, OK State and TTech are the two schools the PAC should consider. Baylor and TCU are religious schools, and if the PAC wanted a religious school, we would have taken BYU years ago.

Time for the new PAC-12 Commissioner to introduce the Big-12 top players to the west coast and what the new Vegas-hub can do for them. Nope. The Pac 12 is fine as is. Doesn't need to invite TCU, Baylor, or K-State just because the SEC is getting the Sooners and Longhorns. It would be a false reacti...

The Philadelphia Eagles will be this season's worst team. Since their Super Bowl win they've drafted horribly and let the roster go to the dumpster.

I'm not a wine drinker at all but the biggest difference always seems to be between the $8 bottle and the $40 bottle and not between the $40 and the $400. So the taste to cost relationship works like an y=ln(x) graph where the y-axis is taste quality and the x-axis is cost. https://study.com/cimage...

What is it with Fine wine? The most expensive sip I've had was from a $650 bottle. Didn't taste $640 better than what you get a Trader Joe's. Four figure wine sells because it's a status symbol, correct? Age it longer, use gold paint on the label, bottle it Provence. It's an agreed upon way to impre...

Last Friday's Diamondbacks game is the first live sporting event I've attended since before the pandemic broke out. Cubs in town over the weekend.

I have watched very little NBA this season. But what I see I am not impressed with Chris Paul. Chris Paul looked out of gas. Jrue Holiday was allowed to push CP3 around all night, which bottlenecked his productivity, all while the Suns were handed out fouls pretty much anytime Milwaukee had the ball.

Agree - reffing changed throughout the game, eventually siding with the Bucks. Ayton put in foul trouble. Booker a bad shooting night and eventual benched. Every time CP3 rallied the troops Bucks started hitting big shots. Hopefully this is the bad game that the Suns get out of their system. Biggest...

Worst playoff game for DA and he still had a double double. The Bucks D was to stop Ayton and force the Suns to shoot the 3. The Suns offense does a good job of taking what the D is giving, which is why Phoenix shot 40 3s tonight. The Suns just have too many weapons for the Bucks to try and stop. I...

As ugly as a game I've ever watched. The fouls were bad enough but the glacially slow reviews really remove the escapism of watching sports, even when your teams ends up winning.
