Especially the field.

Apples to Apples Coming to a supermarket near you, after 22 years of development and a fortune of investment, is the Cosmic Crisp, a new cross of Enterprise and Honeycrisp apples developed by Washington State University that is finally ready for market. Growers pay royalties to WSU on every tree they buy and every box they sell, and they are poised to sell, as the apple is being launched with a $10.5 million marketing budget. An initial plan to start with 300,000 trees was kickstarted when 4 million were instead requested, and within three years, 13 million were planted at the cost of a half billion dollars. The forecast is that Cosmic Crisp will outpace Pink Lady and Honey Crisp within five years of launch.

To what extent does the difference in institutional academic requirement affect recruitment across all C-USA schools?

First two before I started to bounce all over the place. Could never afford to live on campus: 1st- Apartments on Bonnie Brae around West Prairie. Don't remember the name. They were brand new in 1962 2nd -Little one-room efficiency where Louise St. is but I don't think it was named Louise St. then?

We'll get him so high in this poll, he'll get an offer from Notre Dame.

It let me vote 37 times before I had to take a break. Damned water pills.

Kimberly, Your dad was someone I would see on campus and he would always return a nod of the head and a "hi". His on-field athleticism was fun to watch and continues to lift my spirit. All the best to you and your family!

Uconn could have set up some sort of lottery for selecting their AAC membership replacement. Tickets could have been sold for say, $1M to each school that wanted to take their place. They could have easily raised over $100M. Then they could've bought a membership in the ACC, SEC, or probably NBA.

I don't know how important academic ranking is to the AAC but, Marshall might not be desirably viewed in that regard.

"UConn returning to the Big East is great for college basketball That is according to a report from Digital Sports Desk that has since been confirmed by The Athletic, Stadium and the Hartford Courtant. The plan, according to the report, is for UConn to get the basketball program back into the Big East Conference for the 2020-21 season, but that nothing can be made official until UConn finds a place for its football program to land. Stadium is reporting that the rest of UConn’s athletic programs, including their powerhouse women’s basketball team, will return to the Big East as well." https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=pty&hsimp=yhs-pty_news&param2=b04c9f74-bf71-4b58-a787-3fc3152e5d07&param3=news_~US~appfocus1&param4=d-lp0-bb8~Firefox~UConn+to+the+Big+East~D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E&param1=20181105&p=UConn+to+the+Big+East&type=cknone-tg061719-banner::IFVDb25uIHRvIHRoZSBCaWcgRWFzdA==::IFVDb25uIHRvIHRoZSBCaWcgRWFzdA==::t

I hope our strategy is not, "not to lose."

"As a condition of Disney buying Fox, the company had to sell off 22 regional sports networks. Those assets had been spiraling upwards in price for years, with live sports becoming one of the most valuable and pricey commodities in entertainment. Analysts predicted the 22 RSNs would fetch something like $20 billion to $22 billion, but a number of headwinds — such as a dwindling consumer appetite to stomach the $5 or $6 per month padding out their cable bill year-round — meant that the Mouse had to sell at a discount that is rippling through the sports business ecosystem. The Yankees bought back the YES Network for $3.47 billion, but the other RSNs sold to Sinclair for only $10.6 billion, a multi-billion dollar adjustment that has cord cutting to thank."

Thanks so much, Rick. I'm stuck in Atlanta and I appreciate the update.

"For decision-makers, height has become a small consideration, less important than most other factors. Browns General Manager John Dorsey, who picked Mayfield, cited arm strength first when asked what short quarterbacks need to make teams believe in them. Then he listed intangibles that would apply to a quarterback of any height. “Are you truly a natural born leader?” Dorsey said. “Do guys gravitate toward you? Are you competitive?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/04/09/doug-flutie-kyler-murray-inside-nfls-newfound-embrace-short-quarterbacks/?utm_term=.924063008be4&wpisrc=nl_headlines&wpmm=1

Thanks for the photo update. It always seems these things take forever to build out but, once it's almost complete, things will go pretty quickly.

"FYI practice"I thought this was going to be a post about spring practice at a Florida school.

"November 5, 2022, Arkansas will play host to Liberty University. "Normally, there wouldn’t be much to examine in the case of a football game. Sure, there could be the usual conjecture about starting offensive lines, or debate on which defensive scheme would be most effective, but nothing sinister should ever be expected to dominate conversation. Nevertheless, it will. "Liberty University is one of the most controversial schools in the NCAA, and for good reason. There is tremendous baggage at almost every level, from coaching to administration. By engaging in a contract with Liberty, the University of Arkansas will be both legitimizing and financially rewarding a history of racism, sexism, and outright malevolence. This cannot be allowed to happen." https://medium.com/@tuckerpartridge/an-open-letter-to-hunter-yurachek-chad-morris-joe-steinmetz-and-razorback-nation-6cd95d74f1fb?fbclid=IwAR3bYkg7iwYZ5zXcycw3tnvaCReJfaUzgiUR5H6SfkDyKIjrqczF44zr60Y

The difference in UTEP's budget is gas money to get to the other schools.

Congratulations, Brett!

"The 2019 season, less than a month old, has already seen a number of hitters rise to this level of intimidation. Batters with power who get extra attention on the scouting report and yet still wreak havoc on an opposing pitcher one way or another. The marathon that is the college softball season may temper some frenzied bats, but not these players. Especially these five:" https://www.ncaa.com/news/softball/2019-02-26/here-are-5-softball-players-fantastic-starts-2019

Thanks, BS58!

Bodie Miller will fix it.
