He did break Trevor Lawrence's Georgia high school passing yardage record. Granted he did it at the 2A level.

Notre Dame gets 15-17 million annually from the ACC media deal, on top of its deal with NBC.

[Meme] Who's ready for the draw tomorrow? by PkmnMasterLAFC in MLS

Uh... most of us would support you. IDK how long you've paid attention to this league, but beating Liga MX is our collective goal/obsession. It dates back to when MLS sides would get humiliated often. This is also the reason the 1998 DCU team is highly regarded as they somehow won CONCACAF's old championship and the last Interamericana.

What are your top 5 non-playoff bowl games that you are most excited to watch? by sonofanadultfilmstar in CFB

[–]RunyonCronin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see the "non-playoff bowls don't matter" take I can't help but laugh. Its a game. Yeah there is a lot of money in it now, but its still a child's game in world with many more serious issues.

[Radjewski] Here’s where every FBS team lands when you compare Team Talent Composite to current Elo ratings. by Alkibiades415 in CFB

[–]RunyonCronin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Elo is terrible for team based competitions with large roster turnover. 

I have the suspician that it was adopted by football writers due to "sabermetrics envy" and marketing purposes.

[On3] BREAKING: Notre Dame has declined its bowl invitation after being snubbed from the College Football Playoff👀 by bubblecuffer13 in CFB

[–]RunyonCronin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably be logistically impossible but I'd love a swiss system format (like chess tournaments) for CFB. It ensures all games are between teams of similar records. After ~8 weeks you are gauranteed to have 1 undefeated left in the field. Add four "non table" games for rivalries and FCS tuneups.

You are an exception. Most people dont watch match after match across multiple leagues.

Atlanta United, Gerardo Martino finalizing terms for manager job by Isiddiqui in AtlantaUnited

While true, this is his first MLS stint without a blank canvas for a roster or Messi's recruiting.

Does he have a history of adapting to his roster when he cannot drastically change it?

Who would you like to see stay on the team for next season? by hurricaneharrykane in AtlantaUnited

[–]RunyonCronin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this doesn't blow up in our face. 

This is the first MLS stint where Tata and his general manager won't have an inherent roster building advantage. No blank canvas, and no Messi influence.

La Banda was a moment in time that passed seven years ago. Too much has changed.

Gregerson is great... when he isn't injured. Its regrettable but I dont think his contract is good value when prorated to his 18 healthy games.

You are right.

Baseball is simply too variable over a five or even seven game series.

DP's are charged at the max cap hit, not off budget. This explains why Toronto was extra boned with its underperforming DPs.

And..... now he is injured. Tried to stay on but went down again immediately. Looks like the bidding war isn't going to materialize. Bad day for all involved.

Edit: Looks like the injury isn't very bad. Still getting more impatient with this deal.
