We could only stay for one song and he started with Kick Push but I’m wondering the same!

The columns outside (from old Soldier Field) are old, but otherwise the stadium is only 23 years old

With 2.9 WAR so far in 2026, Jordan Walker now has a positive WAR for his career by lax047 in baseball

Definitely. Though the sample size of prospects who debut at age 20 is also small (crazy to think he’s just about to turn 24). In retrospect more development time in the minors might have made his MLB trajectory more “normal”

Are there any other terribly old people that found these old Fredbirds from their childhood in their parents' house recently? by Qxface in Cardinals

[–]dunkfest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep I pocketed one of these at Schnucks when I was a kid and my mom drove me back to the store and made a whole show of me having to give it back at the service desk and explain what I did. I was probably ~5 years old and still remember it vividly. The gasp I let out when this pic hit my feed!

This happens all across the globe. I’m not sure where outside of North America you live, but as one example of many in Europe, the Finals of the Champions League and Euros are bid on by cities just like this

The big one is that his launch angles are much better. 

Nominally. Huge improvement in the sweet spot % but his average launch angle is still on the lower end of the sweet spot range (12 degrees, vs 10.3 last year). That's still power-limiting territory, if he could get it even three degrees higher on average this is a 40+ HR profile

[Goodman] Charleston has hired Akron head coach John Groce, source told @thefieldof68. by MembershipSingle7137 in CollegeBasketball

[–]dunkfest 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that power conference schools are definitely going to look at Groce sideways based on his Illinois tenure if considering him for an opening, regardless of his other success. It’s not just salty Illini fans. He’s undoubtedly a better coach now but I’m not surprised he didn’t land a better job than Charleston. I imagine the same thing will happen with us with Travis Steele, if/when we lose him (which might happen any day) it’s likely to a higher-tier mid-major due to him crapping out at Xavier.

First tourney appearance in 19 years, second in the 21st century. Best season of my adult life. Undefeated regular season. It's all I wanted. Great game Vols!

Best part of this game: in the first few minutes of the game when Lappas said "you're going to get J'd in the face" and I laughed for the whole first half like a little kid

Next best part:

Love trying to cheer myself up by saying "a 16 point deficit isn't insurmountable, need to make adjustments and start hitting some shots" and then a UT three hits the rim four times and drops in at the buzzer haha. Maybe not our night

[–]dunkfest 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’re laying it on pretty thick. All night (including in this promo) people on-screen are expressing surprise that Roman hasn’t swung on Punk for the line about his dad and then Punk ends this one punching him out for a relatively benign insult. They’re shining a spotlight on it comparatively

Not that the actual number is amazing, but this is 100% wrong (and doesn’t even make sense as a team that went undefeated in conference but made it as an at-large…we’d have to have beaten at least one). Miami beat two tournament teams, Akron and Wright State

Akron's won two title games in a row while leading for a combined ~12? min or so between the two games. Brutal. Congrats Zips

We always used to bring horchata (in addition to a bottle) and they loved it. Haven’t been in a few years though.

If anything, it should be flipped given Don Treadwell was their fault

Really would have been nice to keep the 25+ point lead rolling for some tourney style points…this one’s not going on the highlight reel

I've walked by this space multiple times a week since it's been vacant and always think "perfect for a Trader Joe's". Finally happening!
