    Wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes

    No doubt. Not at all criticizing the player. I wish my dd had those stats!!

    Wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes

    Hmmm. A possibility I guess, but given how he described the two doubles in detail ("bounced back off the top of the fence..."), I was under the impression that he watched in person. But point taken and I now revise my list of possibilities to four. Any other explanations for how three hits...

    Wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes

    Actually given that the player's name and college were disclosed in the DFP college list thread, it is hard to imagine that it is the wrong person. Either the scorekeeper has made some very serious mistakes, or MNDad incorrectly read the stats, or Yocoach exaggerated. I cannot think of another...

    Yesterday was 7 days until game day!

    Coming out of semi seclusion to say best of luck to all of the DFP DDs this season!!

    Lotief?

    Yes, routine use of the word "pussy" is obviously the most effective way to bring out the most competitive personality of each player, and threatening to orally and anally rape the grounds crew is just being old school. Some people are SO sensitive!

    Lotief?

    My gut reaction was similar to most of yours and assumed that this was the university retaliating against coach Lotief because he raised Title IX issues. But reading some of the complaints from former players... either they are lying or he deserved to be fired. Records: Complaints Came In For...

    Game winning run Oklahoma vs Baylor

    Great clip!! Curious - I find the rule confusing. Is this a legal play by the catcher?? She is blocking the plate without the ball, but perhaps it is okay because the player still had room to slide??

    Latest video of Brooke

    Congrats to Brooke!! I was so bummed, though. I saw that the game was on the Big 10 Network so I started watching, but I was too late. The game was already 8-2. I decided to keep watching to see Brooke bat, but when she was due to hit the coach subbed her out (because of the score, I'm...

    Keep Alabama's Demi Turner in your thoughts.

    Everyone will SAY that the reason for no mask is because they see the ball better. When I played Junior A hockey after high school and had a choice, I decided not to wear a mask "because I could see the ice better." That is what I said at the time. The truth was that I wanted to look cool...

    Louisville Pitcher Megan Hensley takes hard shot in the circle

    The final game of the series will be played tonight, weather permitting. Curious if the announcers will address the decision to leave her in the game. Forgot to mention that tonight's game will be on ESPNU.

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    Hope it is okay to ask this here, but can someone help me understand why the penalty for illegal pitch is so punitive? A balk in baseball is an attempt to deceive the runner. I get that the runner should advance a base, because the foul was against the runner. But there are no leadoffs in...

    more drama from Florida v Auburn

    Yes on the local softball message board someone posted that they meticulously recreated the situation and proved without a shadow of a doubt that it was a missed high five. While I tend to believe that's what happened, I think most people are just a little too sure of themselves for my taste.

    more drama from Florida v Auburn

    I usually agree with you but not this time. He makes the exact same motion with the player after Fagan. Only difference is that on that occasion his hand met resistance. Obviously I could be wrong, but I believe this was an accidental missed high five and not a deliberate shove. He should...
