I think you are taking the notion of “equity “ a step too far. I think micro- pixel and super slo-mo for instant replay is bad enough. The Green Monster, varying foul territory and other quirks are good.
I don't think that at all. However, the things you mention does mean that a lot of "records" are meaningless since a home run in one park may be just a long out in another park. I do hope they get the balls and strikes to be automatically called because some of the umpires are horrible. Besides that, the umpires are a big bunch of babies.... look at them the wrong way and they throw you out of the game.
I believe this is your first ever baseball post . . . . Although I believe it’s a code for a new football coach.
Sure he does. IU will never, ever spend the money.
It's clearly obvious Kalen and Penix were responsible for Allen's two winning seasons. IU really effed up letting Kalen go. They should have offered him the head job and demoted Allen to DC. I bet they both would have agreed to it.
The only possible way IU will ever be relevant in football is to convince some really big name coach to come here for a boatload of money. It would have to be a coach who is such a big name that he can draw big time recruits with no help from the school at all. And it would have to be a guy who would be intrigued by an attempt at accomplishing the impossible, even if it means being tasked with something that is even beyond his reach, because even if we lured such a name here, there's a very real chance he'd still fail.
As I recall, (1) the distances between the center red line and the two blue lines (i.e. the thick ones) are the same everywhere, (2) the distance between the sides/sideboards can vary, and the distance from each goal to its closest blue line can vary.
Does Sam Wyche count? Big name, ugly uniforms, left after one year 3-8 for the Cincinnati Bengals and later won a Super Bowl.
“Ugly uniforms” is generous. Try, hideous.
And he never won a Super Bowl with the Bengals. I think I would have heard about that. Still hoping for that first one, along with a 6th banner in Assembly Hall, before I move on . . . .
Thanks for fixing my memory. You're right he lost to the 49ers. It's a bitch getting old sometimes.
It’s why we hate the 49ers and, now, the Chiefs, always getting in the way. That and the fact that every offensive lineman for the Bengals since Munoz and Whitworth seems to lose every blocking skill they ever developed prior to putting on the stripes. Thus, Joe Burrow runs for his life most games and will possibly end up as the next Andrew Luck.
The Bengals hiring Wyche away is one of the reasons I hate the Bengals. He had what probably would’ve been the best IU recruiting class ever lined up. I barely followed recruiting back then, but I knew about Mark Higgs, because he was from Owensboro, Kentucky, one of the places where I grew up and was living in ‘83.
Mallory recruited college football great running back Anthony Thompson.
Plus, the Bengals have had a few players that participated in well-publicized off-the-field activities, too.
PS - I looked up some AC 130 gunship video after you mentioned it. Unreal. No escape.
