Good for IU, they've had a lot of near misses against the good East teams and deserved one. ND still has played no one with a Power 5 win, but that will end next week because NC State toppled mighty Wake Forest today.

I don't want the Cardinals anywhere near the playoffs. i mean at this point, i'd rather face them than the giants, not that it matters. the three team are all pretty mediocre. the main thing for me is avoiding thor and madbum (and maybe cueto) as much as possible. the cardinals have none of those. and tiebreaker games are always fun. having 3 one game playoffs to watch this week would be cool. horsefeathers St. Louis. If the choice is "only" two such games or 3 with at least one involving them, give me two.

ND still hasn't played an opponent that's beaten a Power 5 team (besides ND), so there's that.

This whole glove/position swap thing is dumb. Screw off, umps

Alright, so it's an Arrieta-start dress rehearsal lineup.

That looks an awful lot like a playoff dress rehearsal lineup (except that Lester and Ross will be playing Game 1).

T E L E V I S I O N Is it basically just an ESPN asks so we have to give in sort of thing? Our home opener wasn't on ESPN this year, this is a CSN/WGN/whatever decision

I was going to say the same thing about 'grammar school'

LMFAO. I almost posted about how distasteful I found it that Carlos Martinez managed to shoehorn his murderous drunk driving horsefeathers former teammate into the Fernandez tributes Sunday night.

An unforgettable sports moment. It definitely got dusty in my house watching that

Not necessarily. Last year Game 1 was at, what, 5:30 ET? And that was a Friday as well. Oh, I see what you mean - Wrigleyville. Yeah, I seriously doubt that will be a consideration.

Thread is gone. What was it? Someone created an account called Cardinal_Way and basically copy/pasted Duke's GIF-filled post from earlier in this thread.

Awesome as it is, I definitely think we'd be laughing if STL was joyously cheering their backup catcher multiple times in a game. But whatever, I don't care.

That was horsefeathering awesome

Congratulations to Michigan on closing out what I can only hope is the last 5-game homestand in college football history this week

I just checked Feldman's timeline and that post wasn't on it. I didn't think LSU would be that dumb.

Fernandez was such a breath of fresh air to baseball. This is awful. RIP.

Not to Kelly, who called his performance 'well below standard' and is floating the idea of benching him for heretofore redshirted Brandon Wimbush after he accounted for over 400 yards of offense today. He's lost his horsefeathering mind.

They sank 400 million horsefeathering dollars into that stadium to lose to Duke. 5 of 7 seasons outright failures for a program that supposedly aspires to be good.

I've yo-yoed on Kelly again. Last year was impressive. This year is going to be fireable. There's not a team on this schedule I trust ND to beat the rest of the season. And it's a travesty because DeShone Kizer is very good.

That's almost incomprehensible.

If you're singing the stretch and you know you suck at singing I can respect the move.

Julian Edelman, who played QB at Kent State in college. They'll beat Buffalo by 17 points.

RD game is on.
