  • Re: Still Complaining About ESPN...

    Not sure if it was ESPN or NCAA making the call on this one, but game 3 of the College World Series was postponed last night, and instead of moving it back a day and keeping it in the prime time slot, it was rescheduled for this afternoon on ESPNU. I could see the rational for the afternoon start if school was still in session, but from what I understand most of these kids have commitments to wooden bat leagues rather than summer classes.

      Is the AAA team coming back into town and they have to remove all the NCAA signage before then??

        The AAA team actually plays in a different city. Looks like TD Ameritrade only hosts the CWS, Creighton, and MVC/B1G tournaments when they're held there.

            Rather than resurrect the poker thread from 2012 I'll post here that the WSOP final table is down to two, "live" on ESPN. Live in quotes because it's actually a 30 minute delay to prevent cheating.

              It has been one of the better final tables, especially the final three here on the final day.
              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
