"Starting Scherzer in Game 3 was a big mistake. He should have come out of the bullpen for a game or two before starting."

I see his pal Ankiel all the time. Will see Max again, sooner than I'd like I think. When done, he'll settle in Tequesta/Jupiter. Good guy. Rick's a good guy as well, but still wound tight on the roids.

No big deal anymore. We are looking at a third Big 10 championship and a possible natty. MSU has come completely apart with no legit program on sight.

The current charges are bogus and will be shown as such.

That’s the Land Grant Trophy. It was created by the Big Ten Conference when Penn State was admitted to the conference back in the 90’s. It was their hope to create a rivalry. Well, maybe. I always looked at it as an insult. Rivalries are not created by mandate.

There’s a minor recognition of this in Penn State’s football marketing. Look at any Penn State press conference and the background used states “Unrivaled”. Really, it’s subtly plastered everywhere.

And UM is pushing Georgia, an SEC team, for the top spot. Can’t have that either. Alabama is down this hear so Georgia is the heir apparent, but UM is a better team so.....

Purdue isn’t exactly a football power, but our two trophy games are against Illinois and IU. So, we’re good.

The B1G has always despised PSU. USC, etc. gain admittance in a matter of months. It took PSU almost 5 years to get a B1G football schedule.

Most of the B1G coaches/media voted for Nebraska over PSU in 1994.

Joe FORCED officiating replay on the conference because they were getting screwed so bad.

PSU has opened conference play on the road for THIRTEEN straight seasons. I wish someone could explain that one to me.

” ... Sending personnel to travel around the country and spy on other teams is what has gotten the NCAA’s attention.”

Why?

Team ‘A’ knows that they have a game with team ‘D’ in two weeks. So team ‘A’ sends a scout to watch team ‘D’ play. He buys a ticket in a place where he can see team ‘D’s sideline. He then watches the sideline and the game and take notes.

So what ...

If team ‘D’ is on the ball they will change their signals each week making the scout’s efforts useless. So what is the big deal? Is the NCAA saying that it is illegal for an employee of team ‘A’ to attend other games?

That is ridiculous. It is like calling defensive holding on a lineman who is blocking a guy while they are both 30 yards away from the action. Holding or not it has no impact on the outcome of the play. Pure bullshiite ...

"He then watches the sideline and the game and take notes."

Recorded video, not notes - to be evaluated later. To me it's what happens after this that matters. To the useless ncaa - what you just said they did is the violation.

If players or coaches pick up on tendencies during a game and act accordingly, that is one thing. But knowing what is coming w/out a pitcher or offensive coordinator giving up obvious signals is flat out wrong.

Is it wrong for Astro's "fans/employees" to know what pitch is coming? Not really. Is it wrong to relay that information in real time to a batter?

You bet. Violation or not. That destroys the game/sport.

Pete Thamel quote from an article:

This infers that the other conference coaches bitched so loud, that something had to be done.

Penn State’s rivals are Pitt and West Virginia. They are not a good fit for the Big Ten, they are most naturally rivals with the eastern teams.

Nebraska also has no business in the Big Ten, their rival was Oklahoma. And what’s funny is had they stayed in the Big 12, they might have moved to the SEC with Texas and Oklahoma.

It used to be sPitt, at least the records were close. Penn State was 47-42-4 against sPitt all-time. West Virginia was never a rival. They are a whipping boy for Penn State. The all time record is 45-9-2. The two didn’t even play enough games to be a rival. Penn State will soundly beat West Virginia yet again next year and then they won’t be on the schedule for probably a long time.

You are right about sPitt and UWV not being good fits for the BiG Ten

Hey, i weep for you. I’m an Orioles fan from childhood. They shot themselves in the balls.

well, I can't come up w/ an equivalent actually.

Using a bazooka to kill a fly? Beating someone who has never played before at chess by making illegal moves? Using nitro in a 500 horsepower car when racing someone in a Yugo?

I could come up with a few more. LOL
