I’m in a group chat with about 10 other guys . Me and another falcons fans still get teased about that night . Screenshots from us talking junk to the chat as we headed to the 4th quarter .I’ve never seen a more heartbreaking game than that SB. Man that one had to hurt.
what’s the question?
let’s say i do. you say you don’t. how can “we” be judged? maybe a poll and the simple question would have gotten clearer results.Do we care about winning anymore or is this just something to do and as long as teenage Zions get some starter cash in college we don’t give a sht.
Because sports are barely recognizable anymore and I don’t want to waste my time if I’m gonna be looked at like an asshole for looking at scoreboards and wondering about seeding.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.So this analytical crap in baseball has killed the sport. I’m so disgusted I’ve never seen such nonsense in my life. Allowing playoff games to be lost simply because you HAVE TO GO with stupid analytics regardless of outcome is driving everyone away.

Sports are dying from multiple angles and I can’t get back to 1995. The worst part? Fans that love sports have contributed to the demise. Falling for the nonsense that the grievance lobby fed them.
So, are we gonna ****ing play this year and does anyone care if we win? Or should I just stick to preschool baseball where little kids are smart enough to care about the damn scoreboard? Look at where we are. It’s awful, and getting worse.
Seriously does anyone care at all if we win or lose? Or is this now just a fixed event for gamblers and something to tell our kids about?
Ya know we like to blame the NCAA for everything, but we are in large part the reason they won’t protect the sport or enforce the rules. We clipped their nuts and wonder why they can’t produce. Are we more worried about the sport- the program, or are we more concerned with Zion making 10 million before his 100 million dollar contract? Someone tell me?
I’m so pissed off. Bash me if you must, just know I don’t give a damn.
This.Cal isn’t going to stop it, we know that much. And Mitch has no Oompa Loompas to do anything about it. College sports died a while back. I’ve accepted it. I don’t live and die with every game like I once did. I’ll watch for entertainment.
I wasn’t even a Falcons fan or even rooting for them. That one pissed ME off. I can’t imagine being a Falcons fan.I’ve never seen a more heartbreaking game than that SB. Man that one had to hurt.
Infield fly. I’ll never be so disgruntled. That was an absolute jobbing.The Cards loss really hurt ya didn’t it lol. Sorry man, I’m a Braves fan. I’ve had so many years of pain with great teams. I’m just hopeful this nucleus keeps it up and wins another WS in the next few years. I agree that analytics suck and they are starting to realize it a bit with limiting shifts coming up I believe. Pitchers being aces and only going 4 1/3 is what really hurts my soul. That was a warm up for Maddux, Johnson, Martinez, Wainwright(back in his prime), Glavine, Smoltz, Schilling. You couldn’t pull those guys off the mound if they were on.
Pro tip. You can never go back to the good old days. Pining for that is an exercise in futility.
Adapt and adjust is all you can do.
Examples of things from the good ole days that I want back but aren’t coming back:
Lottery picks staying in school 3-4 years
Baseball without shifts
Football where defenses can play defense without getting flagged
Mid range jumpers
Sidenote on that call. The umpire who made that call was Sam Holbrook from Morehead, Ky. He was a bat boy on my American Legion baseball team. I think he went on to play baseball at EKU. He also was the ump who ejected Mark McGwire for arguing balls and strikes during the chase for the home run record in 1998. It was late in the season and McGwire hadn't yet broke the record but Sammy rung him up anyway. McGwire said after the game that he deserved to be ejected.Infield fly. I’ll never be so disgruntled. That was an absolute jobbing.
Wait. I thought they were doing away with the shift.
I used to love baseball. There was strategy. Hit and run, moving the man over, base stealing, bunting. Now it's swing for the fences in every situation. Hit a home or strike out. All that is important is launch angle. Bunting is a lost art. I don't think it's taught anymore. Most of the attempts I saw this year were pathetic and rarely worked. On the pitching side if a starter goes 5 or 6 innings he is considered top of the line. As for the relievers all that is required is throwing 100 MPH. Throwing strikes is optional. And they have had to outlaw the shift because hitters could not be taught to go the other way.So this analytical crap in baseball has killed the sport. I’m so disgusted I’ve never seen such nonsense in my life. Allowing playoff games to be lost simply because you HAVE TO GO with stupid analytics regardless of outcome is driving everyone away.

Hey, how’s about you mind your business and stop being a dick? Hmm?You two should get together, hold hands, and watch Moneyball. Have a good cry, it'll do you some good.
Yeah your Cardinals blew it and over thought the situation. Not allowing Wainwright and Flairity to pitch because they wanted to set a rotation for a series they are now not playing in is ridiculous. Giving up that many runs in 9th and then second game making horrible pitch decisions will haunt them all winter.So this analytical crap in baseball has killed the sport.

Well said my friend, it's fun all season luv winning and we watch with friends and family and cheer like kids. GameDay menus and shots after a touchdown is how we do it around my bar. It's just a game but we all know that it's way better when u win.This.
Do I care if we win? For sure! Do I care if we lose? Absolutely!
Will it affect my life more than a day? No. And it shouldn’t. Life is bigger than that. UK sports are a part of my life. Granted a big part. But still just a part. It’s not my whole life. It’s something I enjoy from August to April. And then suffer through the summer.
But this yearning for the return to the 90s while understandable is not good in the long run. We have to move forward in life, even if that means going through crap. Sure, we can try to bring some of the good stuff with us and should. But turning around is not an option.
We just have to enjoy what we have in the moment. When we win celebrate. When we lose commiserate. But you can’t let it permeate your other aspects of life.
U haz bar? Sounds like fun.Well said my friend, it's fun all season luv winning and we watch with friends and family and cheer like kids. GameDay menus and shots after a touchdown is how we do it around my bar. It's just a game but we all know that it's way better when u win.

I hate analytics. Let’s try to take the human factor out of sports as much as possible. What could go wrong?
My own conspiracy theory: computers cost us the title in 2015.
The top four teams that year without a doubt were UK, Wisconsin, Duke, and Zona.
The computers said Nova was better than Wisconsin, Duke, and Zona, so Nova gets a 1 seed and Zona a 2 seed. Should have been the other way around. Zona should have been the 1 in the West and Nova should have been the 2.
So it should have been UK vs. Zona in the first game of the Final Four. The other game should have been Wisconsin vs. Duke. UK beats Zona and sits back and watches Wisconsin and Duke beat up on each other. UK beats an exhausted Wisconsin-Duke winner and finishes 40-0 with #9 in hand.
Anyone who watched the season unfold could have told you Nova was not in the same league as the other 4. But the computers said they were and you can’t argue with computer data. LOL!
That sums me up perfectly.There’s just an absurd amount of money involved in sports, it’s never going to go back to any old way. With NIL, we’re seeing everything out in the open as opposed to back door dealings for college athletes. Hell, we got some hs kids getting top dollar now.
I don’t follow pro sports, a very casual viewer of them. All the various lock outs turned me off as a kid. I’m pretty sure if I didn’t have a life long connection to UK, I wouldn’t follow college sports either. But I love the Cats, so here I am with all the other crazies!
I feel so sorry for you. I think you need medication.So this analytical crap in baseball has killed the sport. I’m so disgusted I’ve never seen such nonsense in my life.

Naw his team just done some of the worst management of a opening series in MLB history. He's pissed and all St Louis fans should have been. Wainwright will definitely leave and rightfully so.. Things like that make u wanna give up on sports, then u take what happened to UK Saturday and he's not happy with his sports and I understand completely.I feel so sorry for you. I think you need medication.
Nothing personal, but I doubt most care about what you think.Do we care about winning anymore or is this just something to do and as long as teenage Zions get some starter cash in college we don’t give a sht.

Hard to tell if Yadi was sad or happy. That tooth of his always looks like he is smiling.Cardinals collapse, Yadi goes out in a whimper. Suddenly, analytics has killed the sport
gotta love Cardinals fans
