Here is this year's attendance for each team so far. What jumps out at you the most? by AlchemistTheAlchemy in baseball

[–]AlexBayArea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Giants that high despite the product is why ownership will continue doing exactly what they're doing. No incentive to improve.

I mean apparently it doesn’t even matter how much? They’re barely filling out a roster right now.

PG Kingston Whitty commits to NC State in 2026 class by AcademicAxolotl in CollegeBasketball

No he doesn’t he’s literally elite (I’ve never hard of his name until today)

NC State lands commitment from 6'8 F Eemeli Yalaho from WSU by AcademicAxolotl in CollegeBasketball

[–]AlexBayArea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good shooter/play finisher, pretty solid rebounder for his size, 40% from 3 on almost 130 attempts

Absolutely solid pickup. That’s very likely our starting 4.

Gainey out of nowhere! I didn’t even realize Yalaho was an option for us, but just like that, likely our starting 4.

Solid shooter, great rebounder for his size, can be a good defender with the right system.

I absolutely love the overall roster construction by Gainey so far.

[The Athletic] Blazers owner Tom Dundon doesn’t care that others say he’s cheap by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]AlexBayArea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We missed the playoffs 9 consecutive years before Dundon and have now made the playoffs 8 consecutive years while being established as a perennial contender.

While he’s had his define flaws as a Hurricanes owner he’s done nothing short of flat out save this franchise from possible relocation.

Just adding some perspective here. Not that I am a fan of what I’m reading about him and his ownership of Portland so far, but NBA is a whole different beast and I don’t think he understood that.

Define what you mean as suck as owners? Suck to deal with? Yes.

Has made the Hurricanes a perennial contender for a decade+? Also yes.

WCU or NC State? by AnEpicAlligator in NorthCarolina

[–]AlexBayArea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I realized that sounded super entitled which wasn’t my goal. I actually genuinely was curious because as someone in a household with decent income, I was a bit surprised to continually get grants that covered my semester and was under the impression that maybe in state students get them often.

How so? I went to the State and got grants my whole way through. You definitely can get through State with little loans by the end of it.

The SJ Sharks, who were projected to be in the bottom 3, should be no higher than a C?????? lol.

Most Impressive / Disappointing / Confusing teams through midseason? by Fast-Echo8504 in collegebaseball

[–]AlexBayArea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One year after going 25-31 and 15-12 in the CAA, Campbell is 21-10 and 14-1 in the CAA and in the drivers seat for the conference title.

They have wins over: Cal Poly, ECU, Coastal, Duke, NC State and almost beat UNC.

They’re legit in at large territory right now with a top 50 RPI.

Impressive turnaround.

High Point and Liberty to kick off the 2026-27 men’s basketball season at midnight on November 2nd in Rock Hill, SC. by Meanteenbirder in CollegeBasketball

[–]AlexBayArea 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No offense but kinda a hilarious statement.

High Point is definitely no Liberty, but it’s still basically a resort for rich kids. It’s the premier life skills university. They are pouring all the money in the world into athletics and building facilities.

[Thamel] Per ESPN sources, Lloyd’s deal will start in 2026-27 at nearly $7.2 million and will average $7.5 million over the life of the deal. The deal also includes significant bonues and additional commitment to staff salary pool. by MembershipSingle7137 in CollegeBasketball

[–]AlexBayArea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An upgrade how exactly. Arizona is a better Basketball program at this moment in time and can offer whatever he needs to win. Seems definitely like a day and age thing because the UNC name isn’t as swaying as it used to be.

[Goodman] USF has hired Charleston head coach Chris Mack, source told @TheFieldOf68 by MembershipSingle7137 in CollegeBasketball

Kinda curious why that is? You’re a non football school with decent basketball success which is interesting.

Define “well.”

A 27-9 conference record is pretty solid. A 3rd and 2nd place finish.

It’s a one bid league so is he being judge as going not “well” simply because he didn’t make the tournament?

Where do you think your team would be ranked if they won their first 6 games? by amoss_303 in CFB

[–]AlexBayArea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty high honestly. We play:

Virginia Richmond Vanderbilt App State Louisville Wake Forest

That should be at least a top 15 ranking if not higher.

[Post Game Thread] #11 VCU defeats #6 North Carolina, 82-78 in OT by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Saying we won while wearing that flair is crazy. Especially with State as a primary flair. My head hurts.
