Utley's swing is sweet, but not as sweet as Reggie's.
Check out the Ruth Home Run Bar, too.

The USGA might have a fix that bat manufacturers can use.
From Wikipedia:
The coefficient of restitution entered the common vocabulary, among golfers at least, when golf club manufacturers began making thin-faced drivers with a so-called "trampoline effect" that creates drives of a greater distance as a result of an extra bounce off the clubface. The USGA (America's governing golfing body) has started testing drivers for COR and has placed the upper limit at 0.83.
Just saying, COR limits for both balls and bats should maybe be adopted.
Fielding your position a lil better might not hurt, either.

Hes probably going to really suck.
I may be proven wrong.
Nate Hybl, Josh Heupel, Jason White aside, the last good pro QB OU produced finished his collegiate career at UCLA. Time will tell.

He seems like a nice kid, I hope he gets his degree. I will be surprised if he amounts to much as a pro QB.

rcade, thats some pretty funny stuff you're lobbing over the plate.
It made my morning. Good discussion, gentlemen.

Also, Wilt's 1965 Sixers probably deserve some credit as well.
So do the 1960 Eagles.
The Broad Street Bullies from 73 to 75 were pretty damn good as well.

Predicting the Yankees will be good isn't really going out on a limb. Especially if you do it in June.
I did not predict that the Yankees would be good. I commented that they were playing well and seemed to be having fun, as I had just watched them play 3 games against the Rangers a few days earlier, and noticed that they, and particularly their dugout, seemed loose.
I'd say that team chemistry has almost nothing to do with the Yankees success (neither did a fluke non-error streak).
I'd venture to guess the Yankees themselves would disagree. And, fluke or not, that was the longest error free streak in the history of the game. Pretty noteworthy. Unless you're a Red Sox fan, I suppose.

Some of us saw this team coming together earlier this year.
I hope A-Rod shuts up the naysayers forever.

I would have thought he had faded into Bolivian by now.

And, by the way, I don't watch
I had that figured out.
I just read that the University of Florida spends $89 million a year on its football program. For an amateur sport, run by an institution of higher learning.
Cite, please. Seems odd since they only generated 66 million in football revenues last year, and gave 6 million to their academics department. I guarantee they are not operating the football program in the red.

Sure, rules are rules lying is bad blah blah but this case is a window into the asylum of venal, crass, hypocritical sanctimony that is the organizational side of College Football
all NCAA sanctioned sports.
Same rule applies to the athletes of the least profitable (and most subsidized)sports at OSU and other universities as well. If your beef is with the amount that college coaches are paid, I suggest you boycott (ie: not watch) the captalistic spectacle called college football.

Rules are rules. Google the bylaw`he broke, NCAA bylaw`10.1 (d), and you will see that the athletes sign a form acknowledging the rule, so the premise that the rule is obscure doesn't fly, either.
The punishment for the violation of NCAA bylaw 10.1 (d) can range from anywhere to a suspension of a few games to banishment from the field of NCAA competition, and OSU has begun the process of applying to the NCAA for reinstatement on the matter.
So, hopefully, the kid won't be banned for his entire senior year.

Utley ties Reggie's World Series Record
Utley's swing looks effortless and much sweeter than Reggie corkscrewing himself into the ground from my viewpoint.
Absolutely. I was making a feeble attempt at humor what with the candy bar wrapper and all.
