Attention whore

[HogNrock]

We should all be grateful for the winning foundation that Chad Morris laid for us in his time here. It created the blueprint for all three sports to follow.

Agreed. Blueprint is don’t hire a fucktard with a slogan based program with no concept of how to win at a high level who spends more time following his son and visiting his wife who didn’t even bother to move to Fayetteville. Also, if you hang your hat too high on one lone athlete who progressed because of his god given abilities despite your attempts to not coach him up, that’s a huge red flag.

So we let an LSU fan start the CWS thread? The jinx is in…..

better yet, hire a coach who wins.

lowest ticket price listed on Ticketmaster  at the moment: and I find this interesting.  (single ticket) actually cheaper per ticket to buy 2 or more.

Game 1 - OU vs ATM  $60
Game 2 - Notre Dame vs Teasip - $127
Game 3 - Hogs vs Stanford - $85
Game 4 - Aubie vs Ole' Miss - $120
Game 5 - TBA $41
Game 6 - TBA $64
Game 7 - TBA $8
Game 8 - TBA  $53

I really don’t care if we play Texas  or not.  I just want to win.

[BASS]

fuck 'em all, i don't want anyone but arkansas to win.  every other game can play 45 scoreless innings and they just give up for all i care.

So, Horns down is now an “offensive gesture” that can get you canceled.

Fuck this gay earth.

Being hated in sports is a sign you are somewhat relevant in someone's eyes at least.

There's no special hand sign for UAB or Memphis State or ...

Nice but the Aggies are not from Norman.  Other than that, looks right.

Obviously an Aggie filled out their info sheet and copied off an OU player

Gregory has 129 AB, Bohrofen has 92.   That's a pretty healthy fraction.
Gregory has 179 PA, Bohrofen has 106.  Not as healthy a fraction, but then again that's where OBP comes into play.

Gregory has a 30% strikeout rate, which is obviously most glaring.  Bohrofen is at 20%.   But Gregory's BB/K ratio is quite a bit better.   

His OBP for the full season is still the highest on the team, and he scores runs.  Using only NCAA tournament games is the true definition of a misleading sample size. 


And yes, I do get upset when he stands there like a statue with 2 strikes. 

I'll be damned. I guess Bohrofen saw more action than I'd remembered, probably a positional domino effect from when Stovall missed time. It's also probably recency bias on my part, but it didn't seem like he'd played in a while and felt like he'd had far fewer PA's than that. In looking at his stats, it looks like he's played in 29 games and started 24 of them...that's way higher than I would've ever figured.

His average and slugging % are higher than Gregory's, but his OBP is much lower likely because his walk-to-strikeout ratio is fairly lopsided.

I only did the research because there have been multiple times I’ve wondered aloud why we didn’t at least try Bohrofen.   

I guess maybe the coaches know what they’re doing.

These odds can't be correct. There are 8 teams in the field, all of which have a better than 8 to 1 chance of winning?

Not uncommon,  its basically an even field across the board (also, I'm not allowed within like 50 yards of any school).  No long shots.   No betters advantage by placing multiple bets on long shots. 

[Show-Me Hog]

Bracket.

No, I mean the odds are numerically impossible.

[Hogworth Ballington III]

No, I mean the odds are numerically impossible.

It's not vegas's job to tell you who is going to win or even who is likely to win. Just to put the odds where they will promote the most action on both sides, ensuring their profit with minimal risk of loss. You see this in the fight game whenever there are two really competitive fighters or one fighter that drives a lot of bets. You can end up with two favorites or even two dogs.

I work with nothing but Aggies and my wife/daughter are Ole Miss fans.

So, A&M and Ole Miss will play for the championship.  Science and religion have spoken.  You now know how to bet.  You are welcome.

[Law_Hawg]

my wife/daughter are Ole Miss fans.

How did you let something like this happen?

[hogsrunwild]

How did you let something like this happen?

I think marrying your daughter is legal in Mississippi so I assume that is how it happened. 

[Son_of_Spam]

One of my daughters married and LSU fan and the other married an Ole Miss fan. I thought I taught them better, but at least they kept it in the SEC.

[big_pig]

How did you let something like this happen?

Lack of male spiritual leadership in the home.
