Tough matchups...whew!

I did not know what that acronym was, and had to find out right here, and get a laugh. Accurate and true!

Good gosh! What a video, and man that looks dangerous-as-hell...so many ways it could go terribly wrong. I thought you were referring to Bulls in Spain at first! There is always a smart guy....

Agreed. These "pirates" have been well-supplied, and were well entrenched. Not at all what I pictured, and thus why they are such a problem.

Somebody made that complaint, and I deleted it. If someone wanted to make it political, there are a ton of things that anyone could have stated in the post. (But I didn't) Regardless of when it is done...a military operation is just that regardless of who is in charge. I posted military videos on occasion in the past during the slow times when other people were in office, so neither time are the posts meant to be a political statement. I am just a military history buff, and when new stuff comes out...and it is a slow time--I know there are some who are amused with it. If anyone finds it objectionable--please ignore it as you would any other article link posted that you pass on. The bigger question is--will more people jump in and create posts for discussion? If so...I am not reverting to an occasional military video. Start a thread! Jump in and give your opinion on a thread...

I forgot to mention that if you read the comments below the video--you will learn more, and see a bunch of Marines offer more information. I am a military history buff, but I do find some of the new weapon updates quite interesting. I do not bring in an article like this very often, but it was a slow time, and that was an extremely well-done video.

Fun article, and he could add some real juice to the batting lineup. Considering we are not scoring as many runs as like--he might get some good shots at playing soon. The team is in Columbus, Ohio for three games this weekend, so let's BEAT the BASTARD BUCKEYES!

Jon...this is such GREAT information again!

It is a very slow off-season, and for those who enjoy the military and recent developments--you might enjoy this video. Quite a bit of weapons tactics and technology is explained, along with a new weapon in our "Growlers" that saw action for the first time--very successfully. The bombing strategy was a surprise as well to me. With over 170 attacks against our Navy and world shipping, trade of all nations was impeded in that region by these pirates--it was interesting to see our response. (This is NOT a political post, so let's keep it off that)

His impaired judgment continues to be confirmed...

I am quite sure Trojan fans would feel the same way about Oregon...

Damned astute analysis. I did not know this, and you are amazing Jon!

I like the Spring Game as it is. If we change it into a scrimmage with another team...we will get some unintended consequences that we cannot anticipate at the moment. Isn't that the way it always ends up?

You can see the B1G standings this week, and we have a lot of sorting out to do as time goes on. The former Pac-12 teams are doing pretty good, and will probably rule the B1G, just as Oregon and UCLA are in Baseball. (USC does not have a Softball team) Other former Pac-12 teams are in the top-25 in Arizona at No. 11 and Stanford at No. 13.

First of all, how wonderful is this for the Softball program! If they can keep winning and hold a ranking like this--they could host a regional and Super-Regional, but that is still a long ways away. But the way they are playing makes this ranking deserving! Note that in the ranking...UCLA at No. 13, Nebraska is No. 20, and Ohio State is No. 22 from the B1G.
