  1. I don't think so. Streaming allows the a-la-carte option that people have been looking for for a long time. People are tired of paying for 200 channels and only watching a few of them. I have a half dozen streaming services, watch what I want without all the extra useless channels and am saving about $75 per month from what I was paying on DirectTV . I know quite few people like myself. I think most people will be ok with just a handful of streaming services vs a cable or satellite package. Per channel cable may be cheaper on a per channel basis (most of which you'll never watch), but overall it's still more expensive AND you have to deal with the possibility of losing channels over contract negotiations.
  2. It’s a very cool place and the atmosphere for a big 5 game was always unbelievable. Great place to see a college basketball game. Lasalle’s and St Joes arenas were pretty cool too.
  3. Andy's there until he decides he doesn't want to coach anymore.
  4. I went to college outside of Philly in the late 80's early 90's, and lived in Philly until 1997. Always caught a few Big East games in the Spectrum, and a few Big 5 (Lasalle, St Joe's, 'Nova, Temple and Penn+Drexel). I lived only 10 minutes from Lasalle, and used to catch games at the Palestra. Which while all of those teams had good runs, Temple was always good under John Chaney, and that would be my "Whatever Happened to.... team.
  5. Doesn’t matter who files, but the athletes are responsible if they choose not to file. And with the size of some of these deals, there’s a pretty nice tax bill that will come with it. Choosing to ignore it is not a good idea. Hopefully those that secure these deals are getting good advice.
  6. Since your question specifically says “all”, I would say probably not. But even when I played in the 80’s I can’t remember a single school that I played at that didn’t. In my opinion (which means little to anyone besides myself), a place for the visiting team to dress, shower, store personal items safely and sit down indoors is a basic requirement/courtesy for the
  7. Not only that, what about getting dressed, showering etc? Not having lockerroom facilities is just not acceptable.
  8. NIL money is already taxable, and Ivy's don't provide athletic scholarships so technically neither of these are issues they don't already face. As far as schools that do provide scholarships, that's certainly their choice, but it won't exactly be a good recruiting tool.
  9. Spring break absolutely affects baseball and softball. While some teams take trips to sunny places to play, the ones that don't (or can't) do schedule games, but will typically be missing several players or more. The one thing that helps, is the weather is typically still bad in KY and at least one or two of those games get rained out. Also, with so many games being played in a season, most of which don't even impact the playoffs, the spring break games do allow coaches to get some other guys some game reps and taking a loss or two isn't really that big of a deal. Football has only 10 regular season games, all of which can impact RPI and possible playoff seeding.
  10. I loved the playoff overtime rule. Totally takes the randomness of the coin flip out of the equation. Even if my defense is gassed, I’m deferring. I want to know what I need to do on my possible only possession.
  11. With just a wireless router, it got to the point where I couldn't even use zoom to hold meetings and my home theater system which was all wireless pretty much stopped functioning. I really didn't realize how many devices I had that were using my network. Like I mentioned, I tried extenders, and boosters but they provided no benefit. Once I got the eero's everything just worked. Plus I could easily hardwire a few devices (like my office computer and two of my TV's). With the amount of bandwith people are using, I don't know how anyone can get by without a mesh network, unless they only have a handful of devices.
  12. I bought everything through amazon. I got refurbished units, and got 1 pro and two regular eeros for $299, and picked up the Beacon later. I have this setup going for 4 years now and I've had zero issues, with a lot of devices connected (over 30).
  13. I think depending on your house layout, one more eero would be a good idea. I've been very happy with mine, and instead of a pro, I got the beacon, which is portable....just plug it in wherever you need it. I take mine outside a lot when I'm watching tv/listening to music on my deck. The only disadvantage to the beacon is it is completely wireless...no ethernet port.
  14. Have 4 eero's in my 2300 sq ft, 2 floor house. 2 units upstairs, 2 down. One is a plugin the wall that I bring outside when I'm watching TV or working in the summer.
  15. Is it really so bad when tons of parents take or allow their sports playing kids out of town for fall and spring break in the middle of the season? Many teams are forced to shut it down during fall and spring break because so many families are now taking vacation.
  16. He was a huge Bengals fan and hosts a podcast about the Bengals. Apparently he used to make several trips a year here in support of that podcast. It makes sense that he might have wanted to move here.
  17. I've seen it happen before. 10 years ago or so the Myers brothers began the year wrestling at Grant county (after the older brother had wrestled at a couple different schools in Ohio the years before), and transferred to Campbell County and were deemed eligible and ended up winning state titles for the Camels. It's been a while and I don't remember the circumstances, but it worked out for them. I do remember it took a few weeks to get approval. So it isn't unprecedented.
  18. That and you just don’t know how things will turn out. A lot of times settling for field goals gets you beat against good teams especially if you don’t make the field goal. I’m definitely cutting him more slack 48 hours later than I was in the moment. The way the 49ers were playing I don’t know that overtime on the road would have worked out either.
  19. Nope. I really kind of lost interest in it this year and did more regular sports betting. The DFS contests have progressively gotten harder and harder to crack for me. In the beginning, I could always count on winning a single entry tourney or at least getting some top tens. I can't remember the last time I even finished in the top 20...it's been at least 2 years. I just get no thrill out of winning $5 or $10 dollars. Just not enough upside for me anymore.
  20. How the scoreboard changes is part of the analytics calculation in the historical data of the situation analysis. So if that's how you want to define momentum, it's already included.
  21. I'm pretty sure that is part of the overall calculation, as each team's win percentage is considered from both sides (making it or not making it). Also keep in mind though, that "momentum" is statistically impossible to quantify. The only thing that can really be "calculated" is the relative strength of each teams offense and defense. The whole purpose of analytics is to remove "feeling" or your "gut" from the decision making process. Momentum is not tangible or measurable...although it does certainly exist. Another thing to remember is your decision in these situations technically only affects your team's probable outcome as the only variable you control is your decision to go for it or not. Choose correctly, and your "win percentage" goes up. Choose incorrectly and your win percentage goes down. Of course what really ends up mattering is whether the play is actually successful or not and the fact that a game is made up of many, many plays and rarely does a game hinge on just one specific play.
  22. From what I’ve seen analytics were basically a toss up with going for it being the correct call by around .1%. I was dead set against going for it initially. The first one stands out especially in my mind because the FG would have put them up 3 scores. The last one I get because the FG only ties the game and gives the 49ers the ball back who were hot on offense. I think it’s important to remember though the third down dropped passes and Gibbs’ fumble also played a huge role in the outcome.
  23. ??‍♂️Hate em. Mostly it's the texture but I'm not a fan of the taste either. Only way to eat potatoes is pan or French fried.
  24. This. Along with pumpkin anything, Cincinnati chili, and mashed potatoes. I also can’t stand bananas. Literally the only fruit I don’t like.
  25. 24, will turn 25 during the season. He’s got great interpersonal skills and kids love him. Hasn’t been a coordinator, but knows the game and is a hard worker. He’s going to be a head coach someday and if he can surround himself with the right guys, I could see him being successful even at a young age.
