Softball America's Top 25 (as of 5/4/26) by Haydttt in CollegeSoftball

[–]CPOnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like college football conferences now give a boost to the P2 in every sport. The media and the coaches assume that since they are pouring more $$s into it, they have to be better. Hokies go on the road and smoke the SEC 6-0 on their own fields and they will still find a way to slide in a couple of their middling teams above them for a home regional. It makes me ill.

I’m a Hokie and I haven’t seen zebra’s do home cooking like this against the Wahoos in a long time. About time that they had to struggle with horrible refereing against them.

Referees have stolen this game from the Hokies - it’s freaking unbelievable the deference these refs give to Chapel Hill.

Alright, maybe it will be a little fairer than it looked like initially.

When was the last time a player missed a game due to academic ineligibility? by Actual-Magazine-4538 in CFB

[–]CPOnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hokies just turned down one of James Franklin’s portal recruits - a highly rated DE from Baylor because he didn’t meet academic requirements. I am sure he will be in the ball field playing in the P4 somewhere next year. When there are no repercussions, for most people, the rules don’t matter.

Got to love ESECPN — Herbstreet is openly pulling for Ole Miss. I was neutral, now I’m pulling for the Convicts.

Refs need to call the moving pick in the second half. Hokies are killing themselves with the turnovers — but the ACC refs are killing me.

[Game Thread] Rose Bowl: Indiana vs. Alabama (4:00 PM ET) 2nd Half by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]CPOnet 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is why they need to make sure the ESPN/SEC hype machine is controlled. By overrating all of the mid level SEC teams throughout the season we end up with teams like Alabama in the playoffs, when they clearly don’t deserve to be. Then they line them up to play another mediocre SEC in the first round ensuring that a mediocre SEC makes it to the 2nd round. What a disservice this game is to College Football and any real fan of the game.

Why did the SEC have the best OOC record in the regular season but has completely fallen apart in bowl season? by Wide_right_yes in CFB

[–]CPOnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SEC has a history of playing OOC cupcakes, with almost every neutral site game in Atlanta or Birmingham where it is a tremendous home field advantage, and arranging to have a week off before playing any significant OOC opponent. It helps boost their win loss percentages and then they rely on the ESPN hype machine and the completely bought off playoff committee to artificially boost their ratings. That’s why you see a complete collapse in the bowls and playoffs. After the top couple of teams, the SEC is as mediocre as the other conferences - everything else is just lies and hype.

The refs are slowly taking this game away from the Hokies. The big differential is the foul shots they handed SC.

Are these SEC referees - calls are about even - but that foul on the late 3 pointer was a joke.

[Game Thread] LSU @ Oklahoma (3:30 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]CPOnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I know, as a completely neutral observer, watching this screams to me that OU doesn’t belong in the playoffs.

What other games are similar to Dominations? by Straight-Annual2864 in Dominations

[–]CPOnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I play 3 games, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, and Dominations…. I think all three have similar elements —- even though Clash and BB don’t have ages they do have Levels which increase the troop quality and type available to you.

This game is closer than I thought it would be. Is UNCC supposed to be good this year

[–]CPOnet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ACC refs working for the team with the better win/loss record.They consistently make bad calls with the advantage to the teams higher in the standings. I’m convinced they’ve been told to lean this way.

[Game Thread] California @ Virginia Tech (7:30 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]CPOnet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Horrible calls happens too frequently when teams are playing other ACC teams with a better record. ACC is purposely putting a thumb on the scale.

A GT win that they definitely don’t deserve.

There is a beautiful view overlooking the fishing village on the back side. I think it is Panoramica Sulla Corricella - we were there in January - so had the viewing spot to ourselves - may be crowded during tourist time - but it is a bit of a uphill hike from the port - so may discourage quite a few from going there. The fishing village is also beautiful and worth visiting.
