The women's team is, indeed, 14-3 but are on a 2 game losing streak including getting bounced in their first game of the B1G Tourney so I am glad that they are in but that's why they didn't have seed number. 

I hate seeing BC in their bracket but they have a chance to make a serious run in this tourney because they are talented enough & if O'Grady gets hot in net she could be the difference in tight games.

For those of you that don't follow WLax the B1G is a good conference so they've had a tough schedule in getting to 14-3.  The B1G has 7 WLax teams in the conference & 5 of them made the 29 team (not a misprint) NCAA tourney field

I was surprised how much I liked Kauffman Stadium because it looks so boring on TV but in person I thought it was pretty cool.  Not the best stadium that I've been to but better than I would have guessed 

I haven't been to nearly as…

I haven't been to nearly as many parks as you but a couple of my favorites are:

  • Wrigley - I'm a Cubs fan so there is a bias but the place has such a great feel to it. They've upgraded enough to keep the old world charm & history but give you newer amenities 
  • Petco
  • Oracle or whatever SF's stadium is called now 

The only stadium that I really hate is Oakland.  I was in the left center bleachers & there was a ball hit to deep center but I couldn't see if it was caught or a home run because it's baseball being played in a football stadium.  I had to watch the replay to see what happened on a ball hit to the area of the ballpark that I was sitting in, that is ridiculous.  It's also just a concrete cylinder with zero personality

Even if it truly was a "mutual agreement" I'm not sure this is the guy I want as a coordinator with our first time head coach.

Martindale just left a job after cursing out the head coach because he fired 2 defensive assistants.  Sounds great that he's stepping up for "his guys" but the reason the head coach fired them is because they, along with Martindale, were working together to bypass the head coach about important decisions:

"was a feeling in the building that Martindale and Drew Wilkins were creating their own fiefdom within the coaching staff, at times bypassing Daboll and believing they had to answer only to each other and, ultimately, ownership."   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39276348/new-york-giants-wink-martindale-cursed-brian-daboll-firings

Do you follow recruiting at all???

We didn't "pop" on his radar he visited here several times & was down to Michigan or hometown Boise State and ultimately chose them before decommiting when the coach was fired. 

I'm sure there is more that I don't know because I don't follow recruiting that closely but Bair's name has been around for a long time

No? then no there will be no investigation

He was crying at the half of the Penn St game because of the pain which led Sherrone to call almost no pass plays in the second half.  He practiced either 1 or 0 times leading into the Maryland game so he was more than just "banged up"

Enjoy the game! 

I went to Columbus one time with a buddy of mine that graduated from there & he couldn't find anyone else to take his extra ticket.  After he asked I stewed on it for a day or two & decided to go & we had a great time down there pregaming.  I was smart enough to not wear any Michigan gear & told him I wouldn't root for Tech but I sure as hell wasn't going to root for Ohio.

The game was a lot more fun for me than it was for him & I like to think that I somehow had a little something to do with the outcome that day https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/400547826

 Not surprisingly, he never invited me to another game & that was fine by me 

This is something that I…

This is something that I noticed anecdotally a couple of years ago as the shift in the program went from being good to great.

We are no longer the team killing ourselves with mental mistakes & dumb, little penalties anymore.  When it comes to The Game we are no longer the undisciplined wannabe getting 15 yd penalties trying to look tough, now it's Ohio doing those things the past couple of seasons.

I have no clue what Harbaugh did to change things but I love not having to worry about a ton of plays wiped out by penalties or the team being way behind the sticks because of a dumb 15 yd unsportsmanlike any longer

No there is definitely a problem that needs to be solved here.  The problem is that college football games are too long and the obvious solution is less commercials but that impacts the $$$ so instead the clock will run more often.

I've had Peacock for a couple of years for Premier League & it is consistently the worst streaming app that I use.  It's a joke trying to rewind and I consistently have audio glitches or dropouts no matter which streaming device I use (Apple TV, Roku or iOS)

If they lose this in PKs it's really gonna hurt because the US dominated this match from start to finish.  58% possession, 9-3 corner advantage & an 11-1 shots on goal advantage
