I'll be returning to Crenshaw for the first time since the disaster of 2019 - that being the last year of the Dee Vick era.  I think I still have PTSD.  I told my colleague for that trip that the Jackets could spot us 30 points and still win.  I was wrong; they could have given us 50.  Final was closer to a merciful 40.  This makes 2  trips to Ashland in the last couple weeks.

The Tigers are 8 point 'dogs by D3 Datacast.  Sounds about right for visitors to the gym of the experienced #2 nationally ranked Jackets.  The young Tigers are still a work in progress with Coach Kimbrough still tinkering with the lineups.  The one with both Alex Cannon and Shane Fernald is very interesting.  In particular, the Tigers need to be more efficient on offense and eliminate some of the sloppy possessions. Points will be at a premium with these two ultra focused defensive and rebounding teams.

Couple of random playoff questions - on the NCAA official bracket site it has the times as TBA - but it looks like 3 Eastern time zone games and 5 Central time zone games. Does that mean these games are going to be spread out more during the day?

And more of a curiosity question, but is anyone keeping track of the updated NPI calculations of the remaining 16 teams? Or any of the playoff teams, for that matter - just to see how things fully shake out?

Quote from: Gregory Sager on Yesterday at 10:37:56 AMI've been assiduously studying women's flag football games on YouTube in preparation for North Park's WFF debut this spring, trying to learn the lingo and see how the sport-specific rules shake out in actual game play so that I can call the games without stumbling around and looking like a tyro.

What I've mostly learned is that the Mexicans are really, really good at women's flag football, and Diana Flores is the Tom Brady of this sport.

I just assumed that flag football was mostly driven by the American suburbs, but that is interesting.

Mexico has a surprisingly long and proud history of men's college football, but I really had no idea that they were so dominant in flag football.

Apparently, flag football is also coming to the Olympics or maybe has already been an Olympic sport.

I love that North Park has a Norwegian on the squad.

Yes, Aurora Drangevag is NPU flag football's version of what I call the "Random Scandinavian Factor" of North Park athletics. Seemingly every sport on campus that doesn't involve bats and gloves has to have at least one Norwegian or Swede on the roster, regardless of whether or not the sport is popular in Scandinavia -- and at one point a few years ago we did indeed have a Swedish baseball player.

Because Aurora's high school was named after Edvard Grieg, I'm hoping to talk NPU's flag football head coach Ramon Palma into having the Vikings run out onto the field before games with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" blaring over the P.A. ;)
What about team handball?

Alas, it's only a club sport for now. No American college or university has a team handball varsity program.

Massey is not for soccer!  He has no clue what to do with ties and particularly post season ties. He is stuck in the past.
