Those would be my top three
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
My top 3 would be rain, rain, rain tomorrow. Just say no to SWAC. ULL figured this out. We haven't. USM found some creative ways to cancel games vs. ULM/SWAC in the past. We need to, too.Originally Posted by Dwayne From Minden
Our two with Grambling is better than USLs 3 with St Petes...
At least we build capital with GSU
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Probably so. St. Peter's was 10-42 last year. Yikes! Just remember it's about opponent's W/L, NOT opponent's RPI. It's better to schedule teams at the top of bad conferences than to schedule teams at the bottom of good conferences. For example in basketball, it's much better to schedule Texas Southern than it is to schedule Rutgers.
I appreciate the guidance, but I know all that. I've probably been a MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL season ticket holder as long as anyone on this board. And when the Rangers "choke", I have no problem acknowledging it. I just think that you and Pa Dawg--and probably some others-- have a problem with the word "choke". I get it.
No, a choke is when we have control and give it up. This was just a close game. You can't call every loss to a lesser team a choke.
When you won the first game 19-3 (or whatever it was), and then come back and drop the 2nd game immediately afterwards.......yeah......it's pretty much a choke job. As the first game demonstrated, we clearly have better talent, and should have won. But it's okay. It's a long season.
A choke would be leading 19-3 into the last inning and then losing 20-19 on a walk off.
Yes, that would qualify as as choke too. But it doesn't mean the loss at ASU doesn't qualify as well.
I know this will drive some of you guys nuts, but we're just going to have to disagree about this.
That isn't a choke. A dissapointment, or a let down, yes. Not a choke.
Did the same pitchers for each team pitch both games? Were the pitches thrown in exactly the spots in Game 2 as Game 1? Was the same umpire behind the plate? Did the umpire call the same pitches in Game 2 the way he called them the first game? Were the players seeing the ball as well at night as they were in the daylight? Was the temperature the same in both games? Were all the players for each team thinking exactly the way they thought in the first game? Were the fielders for each team positioned exactly for each pitch the way they were in the first game? Did the car horn that honked in the first game honk exactly at the same point in the second game? Was everything just exactly the way it was in the first game?
Good old Memorial Gym
Obviously, the umpires were ready to go home and called it in the 2nd game.
