Probably right but I'd be curious to see if another area might truly embrace it. -- Molina Mon May 20 2013 10:59:02 AM |
As a local to Salem I'd love to see it come back. . . -- BocoHoo Mon May 20 2013 11:14:08 AM |
The rain is a poor reason, but... -- WahooFla Mon May 20 2013 1:27:58 PM |
Agreed - maybe if Richmond ever gets a new stadium that might change. -- wahoo_de Mon May 20 2013 10:58:19 AM |
Good points. Solid post. -- Molina Mon May 20 2013 11:04:15 AM |

There will be 14 teams. The present 12 + Pitt and ND. -- HowieT3 Mon May 20 2013 9:35:52 AM |
I thought UMd had moved up there departure to this July. -- WahooFla Mon May 20 2013 9:37:25 AM |
They would have left sooner if the B1G could have worked the 2013 fb schedule. -- HowieT3 Mon May 20 2013 10:28:31 AM |
Crap. They had originally announced their move was effective July 1. -- wahoo_de Mon May 20 2013 11:02:14 AM |
It was always going to be 2014. The reason is because of Rutgers. -- MaizeAndBlueWahoo Mon May 20 2013 11:33:11 AM |
What I had in my head was an (incorrect) article I'd seen months ago... -- wahoo_de Mon May 20 2013 11:53:25 AM |
Thanks much for the info. ** -- WahooFla Mon May 20 2013 10:33:51 AM |
Actually, won't we have 14 teams next year, too, with ND & Pitt, plus still UMD? ** -- Hoo TV Mon May 20 2013 9:33:45 AM |
Yes with UMd. They don't leave until July 1, 2014. ** -- HowieT3 Mon May 20 2013 9:36:50 AM |

Then why don't they list the games like that? We're listed 2nd, as in VPI @ UVa -- Hoo TV Mon May 20 2013 11:47:45 AM |
Why would the home team be in the visitors' dugout? ;) And more important, -- Hoo TV Mon May 20 2013 9:31:12 AM |
Two years ago at ACC tourney in Durham, home team took 3rd base dugout. ** -- MrHoo Mon May 20 2013 10:55:33 AM |

What coach would want to follow a program that fires Augie Garrido ... -- blah Mon May 20 2013 9:06:24 AM |
Augie missed the big 12 tourney, hasn't won a series all year, had a DUI -- IvyHoo Mon May 20 2013 9:10:40 AM |
DUI was quite awhile ago, read his book -- RobHoo Mon May 20 2013 3:47:16 PM |
What does his book say about his major NCAA violation -- IvyHoo Mon May 20 2013 4:44:37 PM |
Doesn't mention it -- RobHoo Mon May 20 2013 10:29:52 PM |
True ... but Augie's tenure at Texas has been just as successful as Gustafson. -- blah Mon May 20 2013 9:30:58 AM |
Great history, building a new stadium, would pay $1 mil per year, warm weather -- IvyHoo Mon May 20 2013 9:01:31 AM |
Augie's base pay is $800K. That's a lot of cash. -- blah Mon May 20 2013 9:09:14 AM |
That's $799,999 too much IMHO. -- hoosone Mon May 20 2013 5:24:54 PM |
He only won 2 at texas; and he gets $1 mil per year -- IvyHoo Mon May 20 2013 9:28:27 AM |

Whit is gone, this was his 4th year playing. Young should be back. -- Hoos Pickle Sun May 19 2013 10:36:24 PM |
Incorrect. Whit had a medical redshirt for 2012 after his injury. -- wahoo_de Sun May 19 2013 10:39:40 PM |
Are you sure. A student in stands last week said he wasn't coming back... -- Wahoosyourdaddy Mon May 20 2013 8:08:23 AM |

Don't know - that may be why I've heard he's going straight to med school. -- wahoo_de Sun May 19 2013 10:33:34 PM |
Sort of OT (and has been mentioned before) but Colin is a fantastic student. -- uvadeac92 Sun May 19 2013 10:46:39 PM |

True, occasionally. OTOH, we got to see just how good Papi is vs. lefties. -- wahoo_de Sun May 19 2013 10:44:05 PM |
Yes it worked out...the struggling righties all made major jumps last month! ** -- Cavman Mon May 20 2013 6:04:39 PM |

2 out of 16, and one of those was because there were no NC schools playing that -- Wahoos6 Sun May 19 2013 5:48:47 PM |
After all, giving one team 3 late games would be unfair. ** -- ACME-Hoo Sun May 19 2013 7:46:52 PM |
To make it worse, one season only one NC school made the ACCT and another season -- Wahoos6 Sun May 19 2013 5:51:48 PM |

OK great thanks for the official version. ** -- MBHoo Sun May 19 2013 2:47:22 PM |
Seeding means nothing. Regular season winning % is the 3-way tie-breaker. ** -- Wahoos6 Sun May 19 2013 1:47:34 PM |
One thing it does mean is FSU gets last at bat on Saturday? ** -- thebombardier Sun May 19 2013 2:35:27 PM |

2-1 with a win over the higher seeded 2-1 team. ** -- MBHoo Sun May 19 2013 12:53:23 PM |
Then we would advance. ** -- Kenny Saw Sun May 19 2013 1:22:51 PM |
Not if 3 way 2-1 records, then #1 seed goes thru ** -- Cavman Sun May 19 2013 2:00:36 PM |
False. We are the top "seed" for tiebreakers, not FSU. ** -- Kenny Saw Sun May 19 2013 2:01:50 PM |
Really? It used to be seeding didn't it? ** -- MBHoo Sun May 19 2013 1:58:31 PM |
A) No, it is NOT by seeding. B) In a two-way tie, head2head controls. ** -- Kenny Saw Sun May 19 2013 2:01:01 PM |
