Weird... I know of a certain D3 football player that only registered for Fall Semester his last two years of school so that he could play an additional year of football since he originally played baseball out of high school. He graduated high school in 1996, and was still playing football in 2002, which would have been seven years later.

Whether it's faking injuries for attention, milking minor injuries for attention, or pouting to the refs on the floor each and every time something doesn't go his way, he's always doing something out on the court that makes you wish an opposing player would simply smash his head into the court and end the soap opera dead in its tracks. How dare you speak that way of one of the best players to ever put on a Marquette jersey!!!!

I don't know if I want to see it. Someone give me that final push one way or the other. Saw it with the wife this weekend.... It's more of a "chick-flick" but I didn't seem to mind it. I never saw the original so I might have actually enjoyed it more than my wife. Wife said except for a few bits here and there it was exactly like original. For what it is worth, I would probably rent it and watch it again....

riseagainst wrote:Do d-2 schools have different eligibility requirements than D-1 schools? Jake graduated HS in 2006, so his last year of football eligibility should have been 2010-11, at least at the D-1 level. That would be incorrect..... A person has 10 semesters to complete their four years of eligibility. Doesn't matter the Division.

I miss the days of healthy baseball discussion (where have you gone, LG and moonwalk?)...we're slouching toward Gomorrah these days. Funny thing is.... I was actually sticking up for said Brewer player this afternoon!!!

Read my post. I used the ball going thru the legs of a ss as an EXAMPLE. I never stated the ball went thru
Week's legs. Weeks simply matadored it on the play. Played it horrendously. Had Weeks tried to get in front of
the ball(and he had time), then got a bad bounce; I could see giving the guy a hit and hence no error for Weeks.
That isnt what happened. The way Weeks went after the ball was simply not proper - hence an error. This is
MLB, not high school
So by that logic, safe to suggest you also would have given Kemp an error last night on Braun's "single" since he took two steps back before he came in? The way Kemp "went after the ball was simply not proper" either....

I realize all sports have their 'unwritten rules' and scorekeeping in different sports do too.
The ball Weeks didnt get was an ERROR in my opinion, just as an outfielder who takes a poor
route to a balll in the OF - an error.
You can always say a guy didnt touch the ball, but if the effort the fielder put out was so obviously
bad - I think you have to give an error.
Even the homer Brewer broadcasters said Weeks should have gotten to that ball
Not going to get in an arguement about it - I have done scorekeeping and public announcing
at ball games -both baseball and fastpitch softball. I have also played and umpired each game.
If it looks like a DUCK - I think I call it a DUCK So I guess I must have been watching a different game today then, because the play I watched, Weeks stutter-stepped and didn't get to the ball, much less have it go between his legs. If the ball goes between the players legs and he doesn't touch it, yes it is an error. Last thing I am going to say on this, FSN didn't do any justice to the play as we saw one quick replay and that was it. Later they showed an angle from the 1st base stands and BA and Schroeder didn't even acknowledge it. I have kept score at high levels and I have always been a tough scorer. It's probably because I'm a pitcher and I think every play should be made!!!  I'll take your word for it. My stance was made based on the radio call and the Twitter/Social Media backlash right after it. I am over it. We as fans need to realize nothing will change until they fire RRR. I don't want him fired, but you know it is going to happen. I'm not saying I am right, just giving my opinion on the play... I just think that because of his play up to this point in the season, some on twitter/social media jumped at the chance to "blame" him for that inning as well to further the "undefeated with Weeks on the bench" crusade. When all is said and done, Weeks should have just gotten in front of the ball and got the out at first instead of trying to position himself for a double play.
