Absolutely, for example ....
do you think VT fans would not love if a donor stepped up and gave the VT wrestling program $2M per year for the next 10 years to allow for the build of an elite program on par with PSU.

I love the sport .....
you just have to be able to enjoy the game and ignore (if you don't like) the exuberance of the teams in the dugouts, after HRs, etc. Due to the money in the sport, many of the players act closer to professional athletes rather than the players some fans remember.

What's crazy is the ERA for the Tenn pitchers .....
Pickens has by far the worst of the 3 at 1.58 with Nuwer at 0.99 and Mardjetko at 1.06. Pickens is the most dominant but tends to have some bad innings and gives up HRs.

Who do you want and expect to win those games? ....
Torn on the Tenn - Texas game, I am a bigger fan of Texas but sort of rooting against them since they won it last year. Okay here goes: Want Tenn to win but expect Texas to win Game 1 but Tenn to win Game 2 and advance.
Expect Alabama to eliminate TT in Game 1. I'm not the TT hater that some are so I think I will be pulling for them.

Not really, just very excited and that's okay....
Our fan base (and others for sure) are really split on this calm/cool bench vs an excitable one with lots of choreography. For me, either is fine.

After that HR, UCLA is going to win this ....
I know, still 2 runs down in B7th but have a feeling.
Okay, Canady in so I will double down on my bet.

Correct on roster size but specific numbers a little off ...
So 25 (this year's number) - 6 (4 Srs/Warren/MJ) = 19 + 6 incoming freshmen (Bardeen, Eakman, McCoy, Perks, Swedarsky, Trip) = 25
Not that these specifics matter.

Have to win 1st 2 games to realistically have a chance to advance to Supers
If you come out of the elimination bracket, winning 2 games on Sunday is extremely difficult.

UVA RPI 26 and VT RPI 42.....
UVA is 16 places better because of 2 reasons: (1) better SOS (11 vs 17) and (2) better overall record (UVA 15 games above .500 and VT 6 games above .500).

Actually not but they were right together ....
the point was to show that Jax State is a strong 3 seed (RPI and DSR is very good).

Exactly, most baseball websites had VT as a 3- seed .....
I think VT was likely the last #2 seed so that is why they are going to UCLA. I will be tough getting out of that region but the 3-seed in that region (Cal Poly) is not a strong 3 (RPI of 74 and DSR of 79).

VT is the 2-seed in that region ….
Likely the lowest 2-seed so that’s why they are in he UCLA region.

IMHO, Arkansas is undervalued in that list....
I worked through my own order earlier using various metrics and the Arkansas one is the only one significantly different than my list.
