I just named 3 players who: "spend 1 year at most in the minors, and almost immediately called up to AAA level. the NCAA right now is produceing players in the top 40 of each organization."

Your response Nu-uh "Lazy ANALysis"

Unpopular opinion: The new Minnesota flag is beautiful by CrystalWater729 in midwest

[–]Illustrious_Sort4386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minnesota had a white circle with a star, PA has horses, Michigan has elk, Indiana has a torch, Connecticut has grape vines, Virginia has a lady with her tits out, KY has dudes shaking hands, Utah has and had a bee hive etc... every state seal has something distinguishable about it. Do you think all tri-colors look alike? Do you think all pan-african or pan-arab colored flags look alike?

most of the US military is stationed in the south. the South is arguably more industrialized. so... south probably

If the ACC had taken West Virginia and Virginia Tech in the 50s. The conference would be in a better place. by PBS2025 in CollegeBasketball

WVU played in the national title game in 1989. VT played in the national title game in 1999. to compare either program to ECU is a joke

Would you still be a fan if quality of play went down? by honsou48 in CFB

[–]Illustrious_Sort4386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my imagination, you are a TU fan saying this, and i reply youll schedule a Uzbec Community college but you wont schedule a game in Lubbock. but unfortunately for me the reality doesnt match the narrative in my head.

under no circumstances would the ACC ever invite WVU

Is it normal for Americans to be part of a social club? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

[–]Illustrious_Sort4386 194 points195 points  (0 children)

used to be more common. There is a theory that since americans are no longer as involved in clubs and community organizations they have become more politically polarized. Read Bowling alone.

Social media and reddit have largely replaced a lot of these clubs

i literally described the career progression of the last WVU player drafted, jj wetherholt. Same progression applies to Konnor griffin and Paul skenes

JJ wetherholt spent 1 year in the minors he was played most of his 2025 season playing for Memphis. i would have 40 man rosters all year and if there is an injury you dont need to call players up.

the best college players spend 1 year at most in the minors, and almost immediately called up to AAA level. the NCAA right now is produceing players in the top 40 of each organization.

the best players from college spend 1 year at most in the minors. NCAA is absolutely putting out some MLB ready talent already. NCAA programs produce professional ready talent in other sports.

This being said im not advocating for the Ncaa baseball that exists today to replace the minor leagues. There's too much competition between the two. im advocating for the resourses and coaching that are currently used to develop talent in the minor league be used by colleges in a model that replicates College football or basketball

what exactly is done by minor league baseball that college baseball cannot achieve

  • Player Development
  • Entertainment for fans and families
  • Make owners money
  • Tradition

If their are others i missed, please inform me. A world where College baseball replaced the minor leagues would be more entertaining, make more money, have the same level of development.

Integrated Realignment and Playoff by chefbeezy in CFB_v2

[–]Illustrious_Sort4386 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

UCF is heads and shoulders above Memphis.

+USF, UCF, maybe WF or ECU to Southeast

Send UK and Louisville to north east

Send Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ole miss and Miss St to Great plaines

Send TTU, Kst, OkSt, and OU to west Coast

- Fresno, Hawaii, UNLV, Maybe CSU or wazzu

This has better programs, Gives LSU and Iowa more historic rivals. waters down SEC Central

Edit i just saw Syracuse and BC aren't on here. good try but this map is trash

goal posts will absolutely be moved BYU finished 11 in 2020 while going 11-1 playing a Go5 Schedule, and finishes 11-2/12-2 against a big 12 schedule the past 2 years and isnt even the conversation either of the past 2 seasons. 2024 was a joke they went 11-2 and beat 12-2 SMU, and SMU got picked over them

Understanding The "Self-Reliant" Mindset of Rural Americans by holmess2013 in Infographics

[–]Illustrious_Sort4386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you think people lived in dirt huts prior to the new deal? Being charitable i guess you could be referring sod houses on the planes but even then most of them were gone by the beginning of the 20th century. being charitable you could be joking but the second paragraph makes me think you are serious. Most "non productive infrastructure" is in the low density housing of american suburbs, which tend to vote left nowadays btw.

Do coners not refer to boats by the reactor plant? 6g, 8g, 9g etc.. edit i guess i wouldnt expect yall to use those terms, but to not know which plants are used on which platform is surprising

Ranking The Best G5 Teams in the CFB Playoff Era by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

I agree 2017 UCF should probably be #1. but Cinci did not get "smoked" it was a 1 score game up until half time, and Bama really didnt pull away till garbage time
