  1. I am sensing a trend of Wisconsin teams upsetting national Top 3 teams in their conference tournament today. Your turn, Marquette.
  2. There are a thousand reasons why I despise the NIT's selection change for this season. But right now, the biggest three are Eastern Kentucky, High Point and Central Connecticut.
  3. Three down, one to go...introducing the Minot Honeybees.
  4. The Indianapolis 2025 expansion team has a name...say hello to the Indy Ignite.
  5. Lexington's Atlantic League team has been purchased by the owners of the Greensboro Grasshoppers and Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. As such, the "Counter Clocks" are officially one-and-done. The new (maybe old?) identity will be unveiled on February 15...the promo campaign until then says "It will be Legendary."
  6. We have our first name...say hello to the Mankato Habaneros! Love how the name is unique, but not Brandiose goofy. Especially enjoy how the logo is currently green, but will evolve and ripen throughout the season just as the pepper does.
  7. 1. My choice for the team's new name would be the Columbus Choppers. The Braves are moving away from having their affiliates share their nickname, but I still wanted the new name to be a nod to the team and its culture. In this case, they would be named after a certain motion synonymous with the Braves and their fandom, as well as a salute to nearby Fort Moore and the Army's helicopters that have flown to and from there. 2. Add Waco to the list of cities that could be jockeying for a Texas League team; a feasibility study is currently underway for a potential downtown ballpark, with the issue gaining more and more local support as of late.

  9. @Silent Wind of DoomCould you add the Brewers' 2023 NL Central title to my sig, please? Thank you in advance.
  10. The Pilots have been on the cusp of contendership for a good while, and I think having a true rival in the Beavers is gonna do wonders to their mindset and momentum...it'll also help the Beavs be perennial March contenders.
  11. If the conference vote goes their way, the Beavs and Wazzu are joining the WCC at least for 2024-25 and 2025-26. Oregon State and Portland having a rivalry could bring out the best in each other, and a Wazzu-Zags conference series would be the stuff that dreams are made of!
  12. And here I was looking forward to the USL, NISA, NPSL and other lower leagues finally having a chance this year...
  13. I'd imagine Championship, League One and League Two teams would be happy that they've finally got a chance...as are the USL teams under these same league names over here.
  14. I'm frickin' ECSTATIC at the news...FINALLY the USL is gonna have a chance to win it again!
  15. EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize the 2024 thread was open...
  16. The Bay Area covers a wider area than San Jose, "Duke City" is a nickname for Albuquerque, and Gladiators play in Rio Rancho now. So this would be like if the IFL teams rebranded to the Rio Rancho Gladiators, Henderson Knight Hawks or Ashwaubenon Blizzard (or if the NFL had the East Rutherford Giants, Inglewood Rams, Santa Clara 49ers, Landover Commanders or Orchard Park Bills, but that's another discussion).
  17. So, Indy's 2025 IFL team has a name now...say hello to the Fishers Freight. Kinda confused that they chose the smaller city name instead of the larger metro area name...still, I like the name and color scheme and think it's much cooler than a lot of people are saying.
  18. The reason I'm thinking it was an upset is that, from my history, the Heisman winner has always led his team to a New Year's Six game. LSU's stuck in the ReliaQuest bowl (I miss when it was the Outback or even the Hall of Fame Bowl), playin' my Badgers who are rarin' for the big upset...to me, the Heisman is for the "Most VALUABLE Player," not necessarily the "BEST player."
  19. I believe this is the biggest Heisman upset since Charles Woodson winning it over Peyton Manning in '97...
  20. What a shame...Rogers Place would be a WONDERFUL lacrosse arena.
  21. Agreed...save the cerulean tones for whenever Edmonton gets a team again. (Weren't they supposed to get one the year after the Rush moved to Saskatchewan?)
  22. Well, it's been nice knowing you, ACC. Maybe Wake Forest and NC State will stick around to prop you up as a two-team conference and do a scheduling alliance with the American or the Sun Belt until they can somehow rebuild you.
  23. They haven't even announced their affiliation...so if they're the affiliate of anybody but Vegas & Henderson, it's gonna make even less sense. (Kinda like the Reading Royals after the LA Kings dumped them)
