1999 is when the Ravens started becoming good, going 8-8, while the 49ers starting becoming quite bad going 4-12. So if that's the year you switched your primary allegiance, that would be pretty bad.

Well, the Niners were good early in the 2000's as well.

But yea, it was the 1998 season anyway.

BTW, i certainly talk my stuff but i also get jumped on alot and lots of shots are taken at Duke in that forum, so i will stick up for them.

ND...If the same was done towards UNC, you would do the same thing.

I agree with this. In general, that's why I try to ignore the Maryland boards. However, there's no doubt that we all take pot shots at Dook because we all dislike them so much. And it's worse when Dook is playing Maryland - it's hard to ignore the Maryland boards then.

But no doubt your comments about being up 30, and things of that nature are tantamount to good-natured trolling. Move those comments to the NCAA board, and they are just trash talking.

Overall, I think that for a Dookie, you tend to conduct yourself pretty well. Again, I attribute that to the fact that for you Dook is an adopted team and not a born and bred thing. Born and bred Dookies are insufferable every bit as much as Yankees fans are.

Ok, you can say this is the second dumbest thing I've ever said, but I'll remain skeptical on that one since you didn't embrace the Ravens right away.

I used to be ok with them when they played anyone else but now i THINK i dispise them more than the Heels, which is saying something.

Again, just pointing out... adopted team thing, not a born and bred thing. Born and bred Dookies would never even have such a hesitation.

Probably right. Living in MD and dealing with their fans, plus the fact that Duke has dominated the Heels over the last 5-8 years, make me hate the Terps more.

I think alot of Ravens fans felt this way.

BTW, i did embrace them, just did not have them as my favorite team for a few years.

So, you(and others) root for the better team, the team with the most exposure and the team that you had "heard of"..These are some of the ideas that have been portrayed to me....Hmmmmmm, seems like a bandwagon idea there to me, just a bandwagon of your state team.

Wow, being called a bandwagon fan for cheering for my home-state school at a time when they were terrible and on probation. You're a smart guy, you can see what an illogical statement that is.

The point is you picked the school that is a better team....The team that can win a championship...The team in the spotlight.

Towson, Loyola, et al...They are all local division 1 college Bball teams.

I am not saying this is bad and it clearly is not bandwagon in terms of jumping on them for winning and then jumping off when things go bad...However, by picking MD, you do choose to go with the better team that wins more.

They weren't winning more than a lot of those teams at the time since they played a tougher schedule.

The only other college options would be basically like minor league pro teams. Unless you want to go down to DC and root for what was the bandwagon team of the time. Would you disagree with that?

Again, would you disagree with that SG?

You're really reaching with this "well you guys picked UMD over Loyola, Towson, Coppin St, etc." BTW, I don't think I would fit in too well at Coppin or Morgan St.

This was supposed to be a thread about a simple game where the point was drinking large quantities of alcohol in an effort to get drunk and disorderly. Where did this bickering come from? ;)

Ok, take 2 shots everytime SG talks trash during the game.:002_sbiggrin:

The Baysox play pro baseball but it is a different level.

Towson, et al is still a D1 college program. Yes, there level of competition is not what the Terps play but is not like they are in a league that is designated differently like AA versus the majors.

So, my answer to you on whether i agree with you is yes and no.

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
