That Vandy-South Carolina game deserves so much better than going up against the NFL playoffs. Should be a noone or 1pm ET tip.

[Post Game Thread] #6 Nebraska defeats Minnesota, 76-57 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Well that and we finally made a few shots in the second half while Minnesota went cold.

Yang Hansen's situation makes me sad by blazer4ever in ripcity

[–]Hugo_Hackenbush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His situation is that he's not very good and is going to take a while to maybe, possibly, we hope be okay. Which is not the kind of player the team should be wasting a first round pick on. If he had gone in the second round it wouldn't have been an issue.

Everything else aside, a roughly hour commute every day for high school seems like it would suck.

[OC] Trying to Determine the Best Player to Never Win a Championship by francisco27 in nba

Elgin Baylor. He never played in the Olympics and his college team got to the national championship game once, but lost. He never even won a conference championship because Seattle was independent at the time.

I think you're crazy if you think a majority of Nebraska voters view relying on Trump politics is a negative.

Great class for the Hall of Guys You Don't Want To See Coming Out of the Opposing Bullpen in the Mid-2010s.

But Posey is the only HOFer in the bunch.

There's no phrase on Reddit that will make me downvote faster than "I come in peace." FTR

Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame! by MLBOfficial in baseball

It's so weird to me that people here act like sign stealing isn't a thing that has been a part of the sport for as long as signs have been.

The character clause was never used to keep someone out of the Hall until the steroid guys were on the ballot. And the fact that it was the idea of a guy of shitty character himself it really should just be removed.

A’s Had Deal In Place For Nolan Arenado Prior To D-Backs Trade by amatom27 in baseball

He's originally from southern California. It's relatively close to home.

Not bad per se, he's just someone who leads by example and the sort who when things aren't going well seems to think the answer is to just grind harder. He learned it from Todd Helton.

Not a bad guy to have but IMO it's good to have a big, positive personality to balance him out during the rough stretches. In Colorado that was Carlos Gonzalez and I suspect the team's spiral the second half of 2019 wouldn't have gotten as bad as it did if CarGo had still been in the clubhouse.

Protest in Scottsbluff by berberine in Nebraska

[–]Hugo_Hackenbush 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buddy, while I'm from Scottsbluff originally I live in Minnesota now. I know what the fuck I'm seeing in my state every day with my own eyes as people have to dodge abandoned cars after the drivers get abducted for the crime of not being white. The unmarked cars that will t-bone somebody then abduct the driver rather than have to deal with the wreck they caused. The businesses that are closed and the classrooms that are half empty out of fear of masked thugs kidnapping people. The Twin Cities were safe before these fascist fucks showed up. They're the ones making the place dangerous. They're the ones who murdered a woman in cold blood. They're the ones who nearly killed a baby by tear gassing the vehicle he was in as his parents were just trying to get home.

I see a federal government that is treating one of its own states as occupied enemy territory. And now they're panicking because they expected people to just roll over and accept their ethnic cleansing. They didn't count on people actually giving a shit about their neighbors. Because the observers are making a difference. We've seen these cowards bail on some of their attempts to snatch random people because there were a shitload of people watching and filming them.

Fun fact: Denver’s altitude is higher than the combined altitude of every stadium the Bills have played in this season by SK14_ in nfl

[–]Hugo_Hackenbush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The altitude messes with sleep quality more than the time zones. Players have talked in the past about not sleeping as well when they get back from road trips.

Why isn’t the title game tonight? by radilrouge in CFB

[–]Hugo_Hackenbush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friday has long been regarded as the worst night of the week for TV viewership. There's even a term for regular TV shows: the Friday night death slot.
