About the Author

BigPPup
AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.


I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

"There is nothing wrong with a pitcher tossing at a guys head and a couple mix up on the baseball diamond"

As Vic put it, hit him in the ribs, that's fair. In the head? that's legitimately dangerous. And classless.

Baseball during the regular season works fine with a 7pm start, I dunno why they (actually, I do...ratings) continue in the post-season.

As far as the 4pm starts, its because they don't want 2 games competing...

Can the Big XII be considered brutal with so little defense? Competitive without a doubt, but hardly brutal.

The teams may not get banged up, but really is the SEC that good of a defensive conference or is the offense that bad? The Big 12 teams are good, and they put up points in bunches. Getting through that schedule undefeated is something no team in the country can do
