I must be missing something with Karaban. I don't even think he is first team big east player. Maybe based on all the talent on UCONN, i have overlooked him, but i don't see it.

Don’t see it either. I honestly don’t love this UConn team, although it’s hard to bet against their coaching staff. Crazy that none of the assistants moved on to a head gig.

2024-25 Big East Coaches Poll

I’m lower on Marquette, UConn and Creighton. I’m higher on SJU, Xavier and SHU.

Some bold takes from me:

1. Seton Hall will finish 5th or better
2. Xavier or St. John’s will win the league
3. Deivon Smith will be conference POY
4. UConn will finish 5th or worse
5. DePaul will win 6 or more league games
6. Georgetown will finish DFL (not a bold take, I guess)

A few percentage points here a few more over there and this race will be over. Losing points with Jewish voters, black and Latino men, union workers. Trump going to do a 3 hour interview this Friday with Joe Rogan. Talk about a demographic KH needs to get her message out too, he invited her and has 17 million listeners. Lots of those 17 million voters are men under 45. She turned it down, can you imagine the damage she would do in a 3 hour interview with some one calling her out when she doesn’t answer the question. She probably would request breaks to make 3 hours and not sure she even has a message to get out there to Joe Rogan’s audience.

How about Trump dodging her to a debate on FOX. Out of his comfort zone !!! All his events will be his same old rhetoric and talking in circles .

This board loves Shaheen, but not much from the BE coaches.
We always do well coming from off the pace. Willard was a master of this, too.

No disrespect for Kalkbrenner, but at the very least he and Karaban should be co COY.

I wonder if Richmond will be first-team at season's end? I bet he is not.

Yeah, I think there will be a shift this year with certain groups but she is doing better with women than Biden did, so it really depends if she can get them to turn out.

The Jewish vote in PA isn’t unimportant but I’d tend to think that any movement towards Trump there would be made up by Ukrainian and Polish people in PA.

At the end of the day I think if there is a similar gender gap in turnout as there was in 2020, Harris will likely win. If more men show up and less women and the gap closes, then Trump will win.

Harris absolutely should go on Rogan btw. Really weak of her if she doesn’t.

It’s all a crapshoot. What teams are proven at this point? Some look better on paper but chemistry is definitely a factor. I like our chances to finish in the top 5 mainly due the Sha.

Wow. Maybe Sha rubs people the wrong way and they’re sticking it to him? No way his coaching should get this level of disrespect

I don’t think it’s that deep but idk. I think they just go surface level really don’t dig. We don’t market, no hype, we don’t even open a practice to the media, we don’t get on radars, our coach isn’t promoting exhibitions nor are they televised, we lose top players every year to the portal and replace them with mid major guys or power conf back-ups, we’re a perpetual afterthought. Sha likes this approach; wants to be in the weeds.

It’s who we are. But it’s also great when we outperform this and have the poll dragged up every game as a talking point when we get into NCAAT contention. 👏👍

He stopped announcing when the playoffs started due to what was assumed was an illness. His family was very secretive about his condition.

I never heard this before. When OMalley bought the Chavez Ravine property where Dodger Stadium is located, he evicted some Mexican families who lived there and till Fernando, the Dodgers didnt have much love from the Hispanic community (at least according to one acct I read today).

The history of Chavez Ravine is very interesting. It was a very large Mexican community over a long period time until the Dodgers came to town.

Caught a few minutes of CNN last night and Dana Bash did a segment on Jewish voters in PA. So many who do not like Trump but believe he's better to stop antisemitism and better for Israel. That's a demographic that is traditionally democratic that CNN was talking like they expect it to change this time around in such an important state.

Fernando Valenzuela has died. What a career. I think he threw five shutouts in his first five games. Cy Young and ROY his first season. 2 time WS winner. The killer screwball and the look to the skies before the release. Fernando Mania!!!

I saw one of those shutouts at Shea. As I remember, the Mets had bases loaded and a few on in the early innings but didnt score. I was in Mexicon on vacation, walking past an old bar in Puerto Vallarta with my girl when a roar went up. I peaked in to see what happened, and saw Fernando on the TV. 55 young Mexican guys, my girl and I watched the Dodgers that night. Cervezas for everyone!!

RIP

Started his rookie year with 8 consecutive Complete Games allowing just 2 runs in his first 63 innings! Unbelievable!

Timing of his passing is so strange with the pending series with the Bombers and the Dodgers.

Brings back memories. Can't believe it's been 43 years! My dear uncle was kind enough to take my cousin and I to game 3 of the 81 World Series where the 2 ROY phenoms, Fernando and Righetti met for a dream match up. Too bad the dream didn't end the way we wanted it but was an amazing experience.
