Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: NCAA officially authorizes...Last post by hogsanity - Today at 10:36:39 amQuote from: jlhogfan on Today at 10:27:20 amThats all great and very well said, but the "emotional investment" was for the Hogs, at least in my experience and most of my fellow fans that I know. Whether a young man was there 2-3-4-5 years it made no difference. My support for the Hogs never changed. That's my point in this particular conversation. I am a Hog fan. If a player is wearing the uniform for 1 season or 6, I'm still a Hog fan. I love watching college football. When I sit down to watch a game not involving the Hogs, I'm just looking for entertainment. I don't care where the players played last year or will be next year. I want to be entertained for 3-4 hrs. 3
Jump Ball / Re: Muss withdrawalsLast post by JenksHawg - Today at 10:34:03 amI loved Muss, especially at first. Facts are he had two really good years (finishing #10 and #17 in the polls), and 2 really bad years (these past 2 seasons). The Anthony Black team super disappointed, and this year was just a train wreck. Seemed like time to move on unless he really wanted to be here, which he didn't. Was hoping he'd call Fayetteville home and run a top 20 program year after year, but that's not what he wanted. The SEC is damn tough right now, and he got exposed these past 2 years.

OmaHOGS - Extra Innings,The Road to Omaha / Re: Sprague-LottLast post by hogfan10 - Today at 10:32:25 amQuote from: ucahogfan on Today at 09:05:03 amHe has an OPS of 0.961 in SEC play which leads the regulars as he has gotten more comfortable at the plate. Holt's OPS is higher, but in a limited sample. And I think he only has a single error since Arlington which was very iffy scoring as it was a slow roller that didn't hit the dirt and McLaughlin didn't catch it. But sure, his bat sucks.Baseball is about avgs/numerics. Chasing a hot bat is difficult & disruptive. With that said, it might be time to find a home for holt, but not at the expense of S-L. 5
Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: NCAA officially authorizes...Last post by RebelliousHog - Today at 10:32:13 amThe final solution:
Stop requiring athletes to go to school, make college football and basketball minor league feeder systems, the athletes that DO want an education to go to school for free (which would be a large majority), require non collage attendees to sign a binding contract. OR Nuke it from space. That's the only way. 6
Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: NCAA officially authorizes...Last post by Salty spork - Today at 10:30:41 amQuote from: hogsanity on Yesterday at 09:55:11 pmthe same was said of the forward pass, unlimited substitutions, and integration. Yet, the sport is still doing just fine.There is a massive difference between rules about play on the field and rules that effect how you build your team. I am super pro NIL. But it's weird to pretend that we aren't in the midst of a seed change. What will come out of this is yet unknown but it will be massively different than what came before. 7

Jump Ball / Re: FET- Karter KnoxLast post by Hawg Red - Today at 10:30:00 amI saw the one comment where a poster was dogging Kevin Knox, saying he wasn't that good. He was SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC First Team. That team won the SEC tournament and made it to the Sweet 16. I'll glady take Karter duplicating what his brother did.

ARHoopScoop's Basketball Recruiting / Re: Re: Hoop Hogs recruiting t...Last post by Kevin McPherson - Today at 10:27:22 amQuote from: Johnnie5 on Yesterday at 11:25:04 pmWhy isn't johnell davis in the OP somewhere. Sounds like we are in on him. Number 1 player in portal Finally added his name to the OP, I'm moving on from "rumored" to "confirmed" mutual interest ... 8. Johnell Davis (6-4 guard, Florida Atlantic) ... 18.2 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 2.9 apg, 1.4 spg, 48.3% FGs, 41.4% 3FGs, 85.7% FTs ... one season of remaining playing eligibility ... Davis is reportedly down to Arkansas and Kentucky in an NIL bidding war that may include Houston on some level 10
Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: NCAA officially authorizes...Last post by jlhogfan - Today at 10:27:20 amQuote from: bphi11ips on Today at 10:19:12 amI don't think that was 3k's point at all. hogsanity's long held and often expressed opinion is that many fans' sense of self worth is tied to the success or failure of their favorite team. He disdains those sort of fans, but in fact, many studies have shown that living vicariously through sports can be healthy. Thats all great and very well said, but the "emotional investment" was for the Hogs, at least in my experience and most of my fellow fans that I know. Whether a young man was there 2-3-4-5 years it made no difference. My support for the Hogs never changed. |
