    Apparently it's the RAC in New Jersey. The windows on the side (and I imagine the roof?) look pretty cool. Looks like the Nets played at least their first NJ season there and this was their first game of that season, 1977.

    Cincinnati would be happy to help with that.

    Don't forget..........Highland Heights, Kentucky! Though we pretty much claim to be in Cincinnati anyway, since we're just as close, if not closer, to the airport than the actual city.

    I've never understood Ooey Pooey. That'd make sense if it was UIPUI, but it's not.

    Growing up, I watched ESPNews more than I did Sportscenter, and I was much more familiar with the anchors there than the Sportscenter ones. I remember getting most of my breaking sports news from their little area in the bottom right where'd they'd have like 20 characters to break the story. Isn't there a member of these boards who actually stumped the Schwab?

    I really don't think it's too big of a problem, and you're solution certainly works, but it's just the groupings they have now work so well. NKU and Wright State are an hour apart, same with YSU and Cleveland State. IUPUI & NKU are two hours apart (not really an issue) but Cleveland State and Wright State are 3+ hours apart. It was even better when Valpo was paired with UIC (pre-IUPUI). *I didn't read a few posts above where this was essentially laid out already. I also thought Robert Morris was in Eastern PA

    I used to work for this team for a few years, and have given them nothing but crap since then, but they absolutely nailed this. The previous owner (RIP) had been considering this name change about 10+ years before this.

    No one else in the league is remotely close to be considered a travel partner in men's basketball.

    Watching The Last Dance, as well as some old sporting events from 15-20 years ago, I miss the feeling of watching sports when I was younger. But sports just felt different when I was younger. They felt bigger, more important. I think it happened when I started to become older than some of the athletes participating, or maybe I just need more time removed this past decade. Or maybe it's because, while I still like and enjoy watching sports, I don't care about them. Does that make sense?

    As someone who worked for the Freedom for 3 years and a resident of NKY, I LOVE this change. This had been considered by previous ownership (RIP) almost 8 years ago. I'm happy with it. The colors are nice, too. Hopefully this will end all the local old people calling their stadium the "Freedom Center" which is the shorthand name for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center downtown.

    March 9, 2000. Kenyon Martin breaks his leg int he Conference USA Tournament. I'm taking a huge step here, but I honestly believe that team was Final Four at worst with him healthy. Instead they lose in the second round to Tulsa, coached by Bill Self. That was my first full year getting into sports. Yikes.

    According to the Fox pregame show, this was the first championship (maybe 7 game series?) in the four major American sports where this happened. It was also the first to have the first six games be won by the road team.

    The weird thing about the NHL graphic are that they advertised them as being what you see on TV, when all I've seen are hockey graphics on the top of the screen. Iget that tehy had to change them since they added new, non-NBC announcers, but it looks like some bizarro, late 90s ESPN hockey design

    I might be in the minority, but I don't like new Premier League look. It looks like they just took the default Calibri font and colored some text boxes in PowerPoint. I really like the old font they used.

    I feel like this one's pretty common knowledge at this point, but Khris Davis has .247 each of the past four seasons. The Cincinnati Reds also have a 9 game winning streak in the World Series. Sammy Sosa his 50+ home runs four times, and three of them were 60+ home run seasons. Hank Aaron never hit 50 home runs in a season, and his career high, 47, came when he was 37.
  16. floydnimrod
    Does anyone know this font? The Reds have been using it all over their stadium since about May. It's what they use on their scoreboard now too.
  17. floydnimrod
    Anyone know what font the player names are in?
  18. floydnimrod
    NKU. Have to correct that as an alum haha

    And with the superconferences possibly forming, that may very well be the case. And ND would definitely be the regular favorites to win the ACC. Assuming FSU, Clemson, GT, UVA, VT and NC State leave and, say, the ACC gets back to 14 by adding Cincinnati, UConn, South Florida, Army and Navy in addition to ND, the conference could look like this: Boston College UConn Syracuse Pittsburgh Louisville Cincinnati Notre Dame Army Navy Wake Forest UNC Duke USF Miami Notre Dame has a chance to dominate. Miami's only relevant, it seems, every so often. Louisville will tough at times but, all-in-all, the Irish could take a playoff spot almost year-in-year-out. Miami's only relevant every so often, yet Notre Dame has one great season and they have a chance to dominate?

    Never thought I'd be ready to give up on college athletics. Sure enough, it seems that moment is coming closer and closer.

    I remember asking someone from Utah about this on a cruise once. That was their exact response.
  22. floydnimrod
    I've been wondering the same thing. Seems both of these schools are going to have to go back to C-USA? Independent?
  23. floydnimrod
    I don't. If they win one without any depth at all or a quality starting point guard or center, that'll be impressive enough to me. I'm surprised you haven't come out sand said that the Clippers will win a championship before the Heat will.
  24. floydnimrod
    Are you really trying to say the Big Ten is better than the Big East in basketball?
  25. floydnimrod
    Does anyone know where I can find a free version of the font Champers LET?
