It is possible. You'll hear it referred to as a "blarge." If both called what they called, the ultimate ruling was correct.

I'll say this: CCH had better win in regulation. Otherwise....

I'm assuming we're talking a)9th as a player and a coach b)boys and c)head coach, correct?

What time was it supposed to start and when did it actually start (at least for Holmes, that is)??

The best performers tonight were Chikeze, Amanda, Carly, Brooke, and David Cook. The little kid is just OK. The girl that pouted after her dreadful performance should have been immediately kicked off.

Good for Brohm. Good to see good things for good kids.

Yes, unfortunately.

There are kids in college yet to be drafted older than Homer.

Only 6 points in the 2nd qtr for CCH.

Maybe the parents. Probably not the Conner players.

What in the world does the above have to do with my response?

It will be interesting to see if he leaves after this year.

Speed is great - IF you can get on base. Votto is a strong OBP guy which is what you want, right? You can't score regardless of how fast you are if you don't get on base. Votto draws lots of walks which is why you say Hatteberg should bat leadoff. Phillips is a power guy - not a high OBP guy.

But one of the factors in determining the top 25, 50, etc is team and conference SOS, thus, its a factor. I'm not sure how you can ignore the mathematical side of this but I have a 6:00 alarm awaiting me so we'll resume this tomorrow.

Why can't they do both? Should they not stop speeders until all murders are solved? No parking tickets until the robberies are no longer?

Such as?

All other things being equal and they're not going to look at the strength of the conference a team comes from? If not , then what is the deciding factor?

Who said it was straight RPI? You and GT are saying conference strength/RPI don't matter. Of course it matters since its part of the overall RPI calc. If the RPI is a factor (and please tell me we agree that it is) then by simple mathematical deduction, conference RPI matters.

Did it hit the Rock girl before it went across the division line? If they both saw what they think they saw and both called it at the same time, that's the rule. Usually, you hope there is a slight hesitation when both blow their whistles to let one call it but if they both call it, they did the right thing by rule.

Then they're ignorant as to the factors involved in a team's RPI which then affects the conference RPI. How am I wrong?

But part of the conference RPI is the accumulation of the above and other factors. So to say its not a factor is to ignore what the rating consists of.

I see it used this way. Two teams are in contention for a seed or even getting in. All things being equal or close, they then look at the combination of SOS and conference they play in. UK has a SOS of 12 in a conference with an RPI of 4. Are you going to say that doesn't weigh into the equation?

...as compared to what?

Are you saying its not a factor in the room next weekend? There's not one team in the Big East that is top of the charts scary good/dominant. Its strong but it also has 16 teams to pick from.

I don't understand why the average RPI has any bearing when they've already calculated the league RPI. 1. ACC 2. PAC 10 3. Big 12 4. SEC 5. Big East 6. Big 10 You telling me that the average is 80 has about as much bearing as you telling me that the SOS is 5. That's already been factored in and the results are what they are.
