Game Thread Sign-ups: March-April 2023
soccer10k replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I’m in. -
Conte finally fired yesterday.
-
Add me to the old timey group as well please.
-
Same here. Under Miscellaneous Forums I only see Other Sports and Issues/Suggestions Forums.
-
Most of them probably filled out a bunch of brackets and this was their “upset” bracket.
-
Posting to see if it works.

There was a graphic during the Houston game that said it hasn't happened in the 45 year history of seeds in the tournament. It's only the fourth time we've ever even had a Final Four without any 1 seeds.
-
One of San Diego St, Princeton, Creighton, Kansas St or Florida Atlantic will be in the title game. And unless Houston pulls off a huge comeback, no 1 seeds will be in the Elite 8 and at most only 1 2 seed. No coach remaining has ever won a title either.
-
Well that was enjoyable.
-
Would be really nice to see a Cardinal give up the lead.

Bad beat aside, highly recommend it. Payout is set up where you just have to win at most one game per square you have to break even. So mine is $10 per square and the payouts per round are 10/15/20/25/40/100 per game. And the numbers are pretty much random unlike the Super Bowl where certain numbers are much better than others. Like if you get 1/2/5/8/9 in the NFL, you basically have no chance of winning the first quarter unless something weird happens.

I did not like that TCU foul with 0.7 seconds left one bit. I'm in a squares pool for the tournament. Similar to a Super Bowl squares except instead of a specific team, on one axis it's the winning team and the other it's the losing team. So there's a winner for all 63 games and the payouts are higher for each successive round. I got one square which was winning team 2, losing team 8. So I was 0.7 seconds away from winning money.

Yeah that was incredible A friend of mine texted me "oh shit Trea Turner" and I just assumed he blew out his ACL or suffered some other season ending injury. I was pleasantly surprised that what actually happened was the complete opposite of what I expected.

[tweet] [/tweet] How on earth is this a penalty? I mean, after the game one of the guys on NBC said the call wasn't a clear and obvious error by the ref because the Spurs player "glanced the shin" of the Southampton player. So we're giving penalties for a graze on the shin now? Are we going to start calling 15 penalties a game then? If originally the ref had ruled that there was no foul on the play, there's not a chance in hell that VAR would have done anything. Get rid of the stupid fucking "clear and obvious error" bullshit when determining whether or not it should be overturned. Just look at it and determine if it was a penalty regardless of what the original call was. That would have been a ridiculous foul to call if it was at midfield. I still think on the whole VAR is good but it needs some changes because we can't be giving out penalties for stuff like this.

Drake's offense the last four minutes has been either -fail to break the press and turn the ball over -get the ball up the court, dribble around and then chuck a 3 with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Their last possession they didn't even take a shot.
-
LOL Purdue.
-
Meanwhile Kentucky and Providence have combined for 15 total points in 12 second half minutes so far.
-
Purdue 4-24 from 3 right now and they're passing up open looks.
-
Pretty lopsided UCL draw. Real-Chelsea winner plays City-Bayern winner. Other half is Napoli-Milan and Benfica-Inter.
-
Arizona had 4 points in the last 8 minutes of the game and 6 points in the last 11 minutes. Related note my bracket is done.
-
ACL or Achilles were my two thoughts. Not many other leg injuries that could happen like that are going to force a player to be carried off the field.
-
I should have known that. I must have confused it with the Europa League and Conference League.

First place teams get a first KO round bye? This format is going to result in a lot of sitting stars (see NBA). It's stupid to play that many games for that few eliminations. Hell, at least make the third-place teams play-in instead of deciding on weird tie-breakers. This is just classic FIFA, crank out more games. 32 teams advancing is asinine. I dislike the new format also but I don’t think there will be any more sitting than there currently is. Teams already prioritize finishing first which won’t change. I would think there’s even less incentive to rest guys in the final group game because you can still get a bye. Whereas now a team might have clinched a knockout round spot but they might not care if they finish 1st or 2nd depending on the matchup they get. With the bye no team is going to want that extra game. I guess there could be a situation where a team has clinched a knockout spot but can only finish 2nd or 3rd in their group and they don’t care which spot they get.that seems pretty unlikely though since not every 3rd place team would advance.
-
All 5 teams in Group A finished 2-2 so the tiebreaker was runs allowed per out recorded.

2023 Spring Training Games Thread
soccer10k replied to Bertz's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
What if you could play a round of golf in 2.5 hours consistently? Would that be too far? I don't think that is a fair comparison. For the players, it's great, but at some point it likely becomes a negative for the fans if games are consistently clocking in shorter than any other major sport. And this isn't really our concern, but what does it do to advertising revenue when there is 30-45 minutes less of live game content each night? I guess we'll see how it plays out over time. I still like it for the most part, but I have some concerns with how significantly the games are being shortened. They’re not shortening the time in between innings are they? If not then the commercials wouldn’t change.
