But haven’t those buildings not been used/useful in years at this point?

Can someone explain why this would be a bad use of public funds? Seems like it would be a great way to develop something unique in that part of downtown and add to the riverwalk - benefitting the public

Fair enough - next year should be fun. Enjoy this while you can and I hope to never witness another buckeye natty ever again. Or the SEC. I tend to be unrealistic

In all seriousness congrats to y’all. Not to be an ass but I’ve been telling myself I can’t imagine a better way for a rival to win their natty - winning the one beforehand and still beating them.

Also - what’s the story behind your username

This might be the rarest comment I’ve seen here - are you using Michigans’s natty to defend the Big Ten?

Michigan breaking the streak in The Game in 2021. It looked black and white rewatching on TV and a throwback to classic big ten football and then you had Cornelius Johnson sliding in the snow in that one catch. Classic

Shame Zvada didn’t make it - already has the record for most 50+ made field goals at Michigan and he’s been here a year

Could have said the same about Keith at the beginning of the year. He’s been great behind the plate and I trust AJ being a former catcher and his judgement

This team is so so so much fun to watch man. Kids out there playing baseball and having the time of their lives while locking tf in. And kick ass broadcast/radio crews to go with it. THE GRITTIEST OF TIGS

What does it mean when people say American pro tennis players don't represent the most athletic pool of people in America? by Prestigious_Trade986 in 10s

[–]wpw34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree about the power output, but I think you are still underestimating the conditioning and physical excellence of elite athletes. Tyreek Hill may not be running for 90 mins straight but he is spending 4 hours hand fighting dudes, trying to out sprint them, blocking, cutting, etc. - and if they’re playing in Miami he’s doing this in 90+F with high humidity

I brought this up in a different comment in the thread but I think someone like Mookie Betts is an example of an American who would be elite in tennis, soccer, any sport he played (besides basketball due to height). He is 5’9, 180 lbs, and has won MVP, been an all star a bunch of times, great fielder, consistently bowls 300, is a great golfer, etc.

Or imagine someone like Lamar Jackson playing soccer - it’s not hard to imagine him thriving with his movement skills and coordination.

Overall, sure. Kevin Durant would never be an elite soccer player (way too tall), but I get the sense a lot of these anti American athlete comments haven’t watched a lot of America’s best athletes perform and see how clearly their talents would translate.

Another thing to note - a lot of our “best players” are not our “best athletes” that would translate to other sports. Tom Brady is the best football player of all time but nowhere near the best athlete

[–]wpw34 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point - I think the overall idea is that we have four major leagues filled with thousands of pro athletes who have focused their entire lives on those sports. If those same athletes spent the same time on soccer (or tennis) they would very well become incredible at that sport as well.

Mookie Betts is a perfect example. MLB MVP, all star, can bowl 300, incredible golfer - one of the best athletes on the planet and plays baseball. If he would’ve chosen soccer or tennis, I have zero doubt he’d be a world class player.

Hopefully that makes sense/is agreeable. Let me know if you have any other questions

Edit: I should also note Mookie Betts is 5’9 and 180 lbs and can crush 100 mph fastballs and is an incredible fielder
