    Very impressive...46 feet makes it awful tough with a kid that throws like that.

    Hook'em reacted to baddog in RIP JR Richard   
    Tony Gwenn was the batting champ year in and year out back then and he said JR was the pitcher he least liked batting against. JR was 6’7’’ and could hold 7 baseballs in one hand. I got to see him play and he was awesome. Once he stretched that frame of his towards home plate, it drastically reduced the batter’s reaction time. Sad the way he went out of baseball.

    Same here. Prayers for his family and friends. 
     
    As a kid I saw JR once. Not on the mound like you'd expect though. We went thru the area between the zoo and 59. It used to be nothing but roses and flower shops. As my dad stopped at an intersection, he looked over and said, "That homeless man sure does looks like JR Richard. Naw it cant be." I looked and saw him, but didn't think he looked like the guy on my baseball cards. About a year later, it was all over the news. Some guy working for the Astros recognized JR on the street. Got him fed and cleaned up. And gave him a job with the Astros.
    My pops loved to tell that story.

    Ironic that the Drysdales (UT) are joining the Clampetts (SEC).  OU fits-in fine with the Clampetts.  UT?  The jury is still out.  As my longtime friend, and the proudest UT alum that I know, told me, "We will hold our nose all the way to the bank and cash those SEC checks."
    Four super-conferences, sixteen teams per conference, and the top four teams in each conference make the playoffs.  Win four games in the playoffs and grab the undisputed national championship.  March Madness finally comes to college football.  Adios, NCAA...welcome the College Football Alliance (four super-conferences).  TV rights divied up to pay the players in the super-conference.

    I agree with your assessment.  Not crazy about this move at all.  But college athletics, like much in life, is about the money.

    Both fantastic points. Uncle Sam will definitely want a 30-35% cut. As for the universities I think they will honor the scholarships due to the revenue they will still make, but it would not surprise me if they don't press for something in court. I'm far too dumb to guess what it may be though lol

    Question: If a student signs a NIL (name, image and likeness) contract, will the university that has provided them the platform to earn such a contract while they are still in college be entitled to ask for all or part of the scholarship money that they provided back?

    I think the NCAA is about as corrupt as it can possibly be but I also think there will be some wild stories in the future when these young guys start getting crazy money. I just think back to what I would have done with crazy money at 18-22 years old.

    Since scoring 7 in the first inning of the first game, Vandy has been out scored 24-3.

    State was a much better team. 

    I'd really like to see a MSU-NCSU series next spring.

    There has been one against and one for Texas so far but regardless this pace of play enforcement is crap. Unless it's excessive, let the kids play.
