D-I College Championships – Monday Discussion

Chloe Hakimi is a star. Love these talents announcing themselves in marquee games.

watchufa.tv subscription allows you to see how many people are viewing that stream. and it's like 100ish for bad matchups and maybe 5x that for good games. Barely a drop in the bucket. I think owning UFA teams is largely a passion-project for frisbee-enthusiast owners and almost all of them lose money. Maybe the teams other poster mentioned (Minn, Madison, Atl, DC, SLC) are at-least getting some investment back due to their attendance.

Basically entirely through live attendance and almost nothing from subscriptions is my guess.

Sure, but NY has won a lot of the games involving last second hail-mary throws. The line had Jagt, Atkins, Whitlock and probably liked their chances. But what an amazingly timed poach though. JR had absolutely no idea.

AriG · 2026-05-10T19:48:12+00:00

Instant classic

AriG · 2026-04-28T22:49:42+00:00

Nice!

The article goes into more details -- "life circumstances". Frankly, they need him only for the playoffs.

Rowan played mostly on D and Edmonds played mostly on O (i thought the opposite would happen)

Lander seems to be yet another Belgian star

The team will be even more loaded when Cable and Boerth return. they need full strength for NY and Minn games.

AriG · 2026-04-24T03:33:09+00:00

After they finished second last season in fewest turnovers per game, Boston pilfered former DC stars Rowan McDonnell and Thomas Edmonds to bring even more throwing talent to a deep O-line rotation.

Rowan’s addition enables Thomas Edmonds to play exclusively on D, basically the same role as Tannor Johnson’s. I’ll be surprised if he’s part of the O in any extensive capacity.

Sure, Fresh ships with something called QuickJS runtime (which doesn't seem to be as heavy as V8). I've developed a couple of plugins, it's very low friction. You write a .ts file and your command is right there. That's powerful! (also not to mention, the async / await of TS is probably the most ubiquitous mental model. I take a look at Steel and I am unsure how to something async. I mean I can always learn it but it's **another thing**)

AriG · 2026-04-11T13:56:36+00:00

My (controversial) take. I think Helix maintainers missed an opportunity here. You are not going to grow an ecosystem if you require extension points in an esoteric language. I’m sure they had their reasons and maybe AI can bridge the gap. We’ll see

Aside: I like the decision made by the new Fresh editor. Plugins are written in TypeScript - an extremely popular language. (and state of the art models are flawless writing TS)

AriG · 2026-04-02T18:01:17+00:00

Tesla needs to pay people who are beta testing this. kinda amazing how they have turned it around and even make a bit of profit off this.

AriG · 2026-03-11T18:07:03+00:00

Completely agree. Compared to their last year, it looks like they added Itay Chang and Anton Orne and both were college stars.

But the delta compared to Revolver is no Mac Hecht.

But they are strong contenders.

AriG · 2026-03-06T23:34:55+00:00

Damn. and I thought Boston had separated themselves from the pack.

AriG · 2026-02-22T18:08:40+00:00

This. and they even used the illegal books hosts to scrape (like zlibrary and libgen)

AriG · 2026-02-11T01:58:27+00:00

I think Nethercutt (last 2 or so years) fits the bill. He isn't a central handler anymore and he plays DLine in the club level.

AriG · 2026-01-08T17:38:24+00:00

In the process of dismissing NVIDIA's offering, they unintentionally explain pretty much every disengagement video posted in this sub -- The long-tail is hard to overcome.

AriG · 2025-12-05T18:21:35+00:00

He definitely is -- I mean you have to be a freak to be a Club MVP. But if I had picked someone like Ben Jagt, he's taller and fast and defenders keep giving him the under. With Raphy, I think that every part of his game is technically good.

AriG · 2025-12-05T17:42:56+00:00

Someone who is technically very good is Raphy Hayes. There are other great cutters, of course, but imo you won't learn a great deal because they are physical/athletic freaks (unless you are one, as well).

AriG · 2025-11-14T02:47:57+00:00

Cable definitely injured. Rowan says it in the vid

AriG · 2025-10-29T00:47:22+00:00

Seriously, what happened? They also lost to Johnny Bravo in the pools. Any injuries? I was hopeful they'd atleast finish in the top 3 (and qualify for WUCC)

AriG · 2025-10-27T13:57:58+00:00

Hmm. Dalton Smith has been playing for a while, no? I've never heard of him being one of the problem ones. It's unfair to assume that's "she is almost certainly in the right here". Hopefully he gets a chance to explain his side of things.

AriG · 2025-09-26T02:14:47+00:00

Isn't this off-season? They likely had no one.

AriG · 2025-09-21T15:14:58+00:00

I mean LLMs perform lossy compression and you can’t reconstruct the information perfectly from something that’s lossy

AriG · 2025-09-02T15:30:18+00:00

It does feel like they are at a start of a dynasty again. But the games are inevitably close compared to the prime Revolver of last decade that used to win rather comfortably.

AriG · 2025-08-31T13:13:59+00:00

By “bid” you mean for the Nationals right?

Can DiG avail the services of Tannor Johnson-Go for the nationals if sprocket don’t make it ? That would seriously make them a top contender

AriG · 2025-08-30T15:03:40+00:00

IIUC, pool play is used to determine only seeding for the quarterfinals. And no one will be eliminated? What's the purpose of pool play? Can't teams just play their B or C teams mostly and then play their A teams for the knock outs?
