To summarize, Loyalty respectfully submits the following proposed changes to the NCAA: 1. If Illinois is leading at the conclusion of stroke play, Illinois is declared the national champion and match play is strictly an exhibition. 2. If Illinois finishes stroke play in positions 2-7, match...

The format is what it is. It's undeniably a quirk to only count 4 out of 5 scores during stroke play. With the understanding that we all really, really wanted to win a National Championship and are all bitterly disappointed at the outcome here, it's not in any way correct to say that because...

I agree with this 100%. There are quirks with any format. If we had just won one of these match play tournaments everyone would be much more on board with the concept. The other nice part of your "cut to 7" idea is the stroke play winner is then guaranteed a spot at East Lake. It really...

The question is, who is "us"?

I'm not sure you're in the minority. It would be a good poll question.

He's played a lot of excellent golf this year. He had the looks but couldn't get a putt to drop today. Gotta keep knocking on the door.

Well, there's always next week...

He's now -7 on the back with the 18th still to play. A tale of two nines, for sure! edit: Bah, bogey on 18. Clearly my fault...

https://www.espn.com/nba/trainingcamp08/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=outdoorgame-081012 The NBA season is October through April. There's precisely zero chance of a regular season outdoor game being scheduled in Chicago.

Gotcha, thanks all. It's a bit odd since technically your ping pong ball would come up, but it makes sense. Hopefully we're not consistently in a situation where it would matter, but the light at the end of the tunnel looks very small right now.

So...if you finish last and wind up with the first overall pick, does that count as winning the lottery? Asking for a friend...

...and got lit up last night by Dallas. TB is a fringe playoff team. Long way to go, but as @Joel Goodson said, this could be a pretty good pick if they land in the 11-15 range.

Also very nice rounds from Detry (66) and Hardy (67) today to make the cut at the RSM. At this point I assume Nick is safely in the "next 10" and will get into the two upsized events next year, while Thomas needs a really good finish this weekend to move up a few spots and qualify.

No, no, one thousand times no. We were ahead by 4 points. There were multiple ways we could have won that game - stop them, false start, fumble, etc. - but Tepper's "plan" was to try to get to overtime (no way to foresee failed PAT) by moving the ball 40+ yards in <45 seconds on a day where we...

Man, this is a tough gig! On the surface, it seemed like Hardy (T23) and Detry (T38) did well this week, but Nick dropped from 53rd to 55th and Thomas from 60th to 62nd in the FedEx Fall standings. Gotta keep grinding.
