  1. I mean, that's 2 of only 3 possibilities, so... not exactly a bold prediction.
  2. I'll be 102 at the start of the season.
  3. 187 & 201 are the more common "Crimson" pantones. 505, 209 and 7421 are usually the "Maroons". 202 and 195 usually float in the "Maroon-Burgundy-Cardinal" catergories. 194, too, but it's closer to a crimson.
  4. If you do that for every conference, then you still only have 10-12 power conference schools out of 64. Still going to have low ratings and interest. It's a reality. A tournament dominated, participantwise, by low- and mid-major schools is not going to garner the amount of interest that's going to keep it on par with the tournament as we know it.
  5. Not everybody. Just those who are always looking for something to complain about.
  6. That would be the lowest rated tournament ever. You have only 5 or 6 "power conference" teams, a few mid-majors and the rest smaller conference schools. You automatically lose more than half your viewership just by cutting the number from 68. Then taking out all but 6 bigger conference schools. CBS couldn't get out of this deal fast enough.
  7. Wait... someone traded FOR Mac Jones?
  8. It was a typo, but you don't have to be a d*** about it.
  9. That was supposed to say "AREN'T" leagues. Just noticed it.
  10. Just like his cousin, Doug.
  11. Tournaments aren't leagues. EDIT: Correct word.
  12. Michigan's "Plum" is pantone 505, a very common shade of maroon used by many colleges. You'd think, given how many schools use maroon in general, Under Armour would be able to create some maroon uniform that would be available for general usage.
  13. They're getting City Connect uniforms which puts them at 4+1. They had to drop one, so red was chosen.
  14. I didn't say you had to keep all 5 together, just the Cardinals and Cubs. The 3 historic rivalries that absolutely cannot be split up divisionally are Yankees-Red Sox, Cardinals-Cubs and Dodgers-Giants. Mets-Phillies are borderline undividable, since the Mets have only existed since 1962, but given their proximity, it's highly unlikely they ever would be separated.
  15. Actually it's not. I just noticed he also separated the Cardinals and Cubs into different divisions. That will never happen.
  16. You can't seriously be comparing the Brewers and Astros swap to a Tigers and Pirates swap. The years you listed are literally the reason why they weren't as up in arms (although the Astros switch DID get some push back). 27 years and even 50 years are nowhere near the same thing as 124 years and 137 years. You basically answered your own question. And neither had the historical footprint that the Tigers and Pirates did. Two original franchises vs 2 post 1950s expansion teams.
  17. Who a team plays an extra game against in Interleague play would never justify the 1 for 1 swap of two of the longest tenured teams in each league. The Pirates have been in the National League since 1887. The Tigers in the American League since 1901. If anybody in the league office ever proposed this, they would literally be laughed out of a job. Interleague play is not the top priority when it comes to any realignment. Probably near the bottom. Historical rivalries first, geographical (within their respective leagues) second. Interleague rivals would just fall wherever they may. Especially now that everybody plays everybody.
  18. I'm not talking about the scheduling, but there is no reason Detroit should be in the NL and Pittsburgh in the AL. And how does what division they're in even effect their interleague rival pairings? It makes no sense.
  19. Are you saying you would swap Detroit and Pittsburgh purely for Interleague Rival purposes?
  20. No way would Detroit and Pittsburgh swap leagues. They are "original" teams in the AL and NL, respectively. Too storied to do a 1 for 1 swap. Only way either would is if it went straight geographical, East-West leagues.
  21. As long as the Cardinals and Cubs are in the same division, it's fine. Those two teams being in the same league with the Pirates is good enough.
  22. Add a second bye week? The CFL plays 18 games and (now) has 3 bye weeks.
