Re: MLB 2022 Season

I believe that MLB should ban goggle celebrations for anything before the LCS's. :?: Beer and champagne spraying, plastic sheets on the lockers, players wearing goggles... It's a joke. But as we said later in the thread, the easier answer is to ban cameras and reporters from the locker room if they...

He's back in the NFC East, ready to beat Philly twice a year.
Unfortunately neither he nor the Commanders are any good. McNabb 2.0

At least they didn't give up too much for him. A couple third rounders... :coffee:

EDIT: In my opinion, Coastal, Appy, UL-L, Marshall, and other SBC teams (depending on the year) are just as good or better than NDSU. That's where we differ. One or two of the ones you mentioned are maybe on par any given year, but that's it. NDSU would most likely beat 9 out of 10 SB teams right n...

If you're trying to say that Appy, Coastal, Marshall, UL-L, etc. aren't of the same caliber, then I'm not sure you've been paying attention. You said they were equal or better to NDSU. I do not think that is accurate, at least at this point in time. NDSU > 90% of the SunBelt. The SB opponents will ...
