Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:59:53 AMI think I missed something. Where did "Fetch" come from? Is that what Hamilton's teammates call him for whatever reason?

In the movie Mean Girls, a character tries to make the word "fetch" popular as a substitute for "cool" or "awesome".  Another character tells her to stop because it's never going to happen (see GIF above).

I may be mistaken, but I believe Brew is referring to MU's promotion of Caedin as them "trying to make fetch happen".

First, I 100% agree with this foul call on Smart.

But it is interesting that this type of stuff happened all the time in the 80's and if the refs did anything, it would be to talk to the players and ask them to "cool it".

The current wild-card format has only been in place since 2022, so IMHO there isn't enough information yet to determine whether it's better to have played in the WC round or to have gotten that week off.

In 2022, 2 teams with byes advanced and 2 teams that won WC series advanced.

In 2023, 1 team with bye advanced and 3 teams that won WC series advanced.

In 2024, 3 teams with byes advanced and 1 team that won WC series advanced.

In 2025, 3 teams with byes advanced and 1 team that won WC series advanced.

4-year total: 9 teams with byes advanced and 7 teams that won WC series advanced.

But that time-off-before-World-Series stat is still real interesting and a little surprising to me.

Quote from: MUbiz on Today at 10:50:50 AMKim English has never had a top 100 KP offense to my knowledge. PC ahead of MU has to be the transfers. If you believe the talking heads, transfers are the shiny objects, while Shaka's way is basically a lump of coal. Matt Norlander is really the only media guy that believes in what Shaka is doing.

Tons of media people believe in what Shaka is doing.  He and Marquette get a ton of praise.  This isn't even voted on by the media.

I think I missed something. Where did "Fetch" come from? Is that what Hamilton's teammates call him for whatever reason?

And where was Hamilto on all of those minutes projections? Along with Ramsey, he'll be the key to our season.

He certainly gets there a lot.

Brewers had no problem sitting a week going into October this year.  Their problem came when they had to play the Dodgers 2 days after that series.

Unless you are the Brewers; then it's probably Ashby.
