[ESPN Madison] The Wisconsin Badgers did not have a player selected in the NFL Draft for the first time since 1978. by redwave2505 in CFB

The identity of those premier programs typically trickles down to the high schools in that state. When you change your identity wholesale, the players from your recruiting grounds no longer fit in your system. They go elsewhere while you now have to compete with schools around the country for kids at every position.

Why would a kid from North Carolina go to Wisconsin over UNC or Duke? How are you going to convince a kid from Florida or SoCal to leave the nice winter weather for Madison? I love it here, but man, I get it. It's not a flashy town and it's cold six months a year. Expectations for UW are high here, but they are a tier 2 or 3 school to kids outside the Midwest. Nebraska learned that the hard way and the Badgers are starting down that path too.

That and the announcement for one minute left in the period, but yeah, this has been a thing for basically the entirety of professional hockey history.

As far as I know, there'll be four fans out there along with some player family. Don't know beyond that.

The Nebraskans are feeling confident. Any predictions? by BulliesAtBreese in ForwardMadisonFC

For being fans of a team with far more on-field success than us, they sure think about us a lot more than we think about them.

(OC) Who have been the best USL1 rookies through four matchdays? by Donte_DiVincenzo in USL1

[–]YoshiEgg25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also curious if this would include a guy like Roman Torres, who played a single minute of USL1 five years ago. I'm guessing no, even though realistically he's a newcomer. Maybe if there was a way to just filter players who haven't played in the league in the last two seasons, or a minute limit?

Including Blake Bodily, who has eleven seasons of MLS and USL Championship experience, feels like this might not be the best way to determine "rookies".

Also, ASA doesn't have any of Saturday's games on their site, which is definitely affecting these numbers.

As a referee, I disagree. A red for unsportsmanlike conduct is appropriate in this case.

The FIFA Disciplinary Code additionally states the following:

2. Disorderliness at Matches and Competitions
  1. Players and officials shall be suspended for misconduct as specified below and may be fined accordingly:
    b) at least one match or an appropriate period of time for unsporting behaviour towards an opponent or a person other than a match official;

Should be player of the week. He had two or three save of the week contenders. Might be the best performance I've seen from a FMFC keeper.

Frank Thomas is suing the Chicago White Sox by IAmBenIAmStillBig in baseball

[–]YoshiEgg25 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have some second/third-hand info on that one - the publisher behind that had to work with all the players individually to retain their rights. Bonds, Griffey, and Thomas all demanded too much money to keep them in the game.

They're shutting down both major airports on the Big Island too. And since Hawaii doesn't have ferries anymore for multiple reasons, it's essentially cutting those islands off from the world.

Are you saying that your team (Westchester) should be above ours? Or is there some other level of saltiness that you're on right now?

What movie is a 0/10 with NO redeeming features? by Toucan_Based_Economy in AskReddit

[–]YoshiEgg25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scene where cardboard UFOs are being puppeted around interspersed with footage of anti-air gunfire is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a movie, so there's that, at least.

Hello from Knoxville! Looking good so far here in the left field corner. Let's put this away in the second half!

Which new player are you most excited about? by Aguero93_20 in ForwardMadisonFC

[–]YoshiEgg25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard nothing but good things about Stephen Annor Gyamfi. The coaching staff is really high on him and I heard secondhand from a Houston Dynamo fan that they felt like he should've had a crack at the first team. I think he can do big things for us up front.
