That for sure just killed a lot of brackets.

Louisville.

Texas & LSU

Are any other words that refer to other races.

What about when they throw the words cracker, honkey are words that refer to whites? They going to penalize that too?

Now he will start throwing game winning passes for the Cowboys.

Let them keep begging for him. When he turns out to be another highly praised overrated first round flop it will be the David Carr show all over again. J.J. Watt and A. Johnson will not put up with his immaturity.

It's Bost. The kid is a very good athlete and gets it honestly.

Game time is 7:00.

7:00 game time.

If Kevin Lane puts in he has a good shot at getting it.

Yep!!! : ;D ;D ;D

+1 tradinup. So true. That's how half our Tee-Ball team was picked.......Now to the one who asked the question.......Money goes a long way.

I think it is their youth league coaches that are in the mix. ;D ;)

They're following the yellow brick road  ;D

The slider my kid throws is not hard on the arm. it is all about the position of his fingers and his release. No tourque on the arm at all. And it is nasty when he throws it for a 12 yr. old. And it is a true slider. Just not thrown the way most are use to seeing it. Learned it from San Diego Padres pitching coach.

My son is 12 and his two select coaches, who have pitched professionally, have taught him a slider and change-up and he has been very effective with those two. If he can keep getting by with these I don't really care if he learns how to throw a curve. Pitching is all about hitting a spot and keeping hitters off balance. You don't need a curve to do that.

How did this go from a PNG vs Georgetown baseball playoff matchup to a Nederland basketball discussion?

As I have said in a previous thread, these big power house schools are down simply because of the way scholarships are divided up. A lot of top notch athletes that these colleges used to pull in are unable to go there now because the parents are not able to afford to pay the rest. Unless your kid is one of the ones who get one of those very rare full rides it is still a lot of expense. A lot of kids or going the JUCO route because it is cheaper and most or closer to home and if you are one of those talents that has a possibility of being drafted, you don't have to stay three years before you are able to be considered for the draft. I believe that is why some of these smaller schools are being able to compete with the used to be big power house schools because the kids are staying closer to home because of the way scholarships are now days.

I would like to say thank you to all the ex area college and pro ball players that have come back to coach these select teams here. Brian Bost, Allen Harrington, Will Delage, Cody Myers, Taylor McGuiness, Eric Harrington, Morgan Walker, Jason Tyner, Jeff Moye, and the rest who I am not familiar with or forgot. Thank you for coming back and teaching these kids what you have learned through your experiences.

They were 11u Premier. They were a good team. Hit the ball well. Good solid ball club. They had to get through the Gladiators to get to the championship and we know how tough they are to beat.

I just think the way that the scholarships are now the normal power house schools are having a hard time getting kids that aren't right there in their back yard to commit. Kids are staying closer to home unless they get one of those rare full rides because it is cheaper on the parents. Which in turn is why now you see some of the smaller schools being able to compete with the use to be power houses.

Thanks TradinUp. Y'all are a good up and coming team with a lot of talent. Will make for some good match-ups like this past weekend. For a first year team and getting started a little later then some others, y'all are a strong team.

So Summer Creeks coach was scared and didn't want to take his chances with a 3 game series..........PNG takes this one 8-2.

Congratulations Prospects Red. They played hard nosed baseball this weekend and deserve it. 10-0-1 in the last two tournaments. Awesome job guys!
