We have our first upset of the tournament: 11 seed Loyola-Chicago upsets 6 seed Miami 64-62

It appears that there is a stalemate in the legislature about the expansion.

Not sure if anyone saw this and this is a few weeks old, but a local state legislator came out for expansion.

Here is the race for Virginia's 9th district

This thread is to discuss the MLB season, since Spring Training has begun.

Vox makes CNN look like Infowars by comparison.  A few paragraphs of substance obliterated by the final 3/4 of the article, which is a rant against Conservatism not being willing to freely splurge on entitlements.  

 

This is is a substantial (but moderate) step in what is historically a conservative state.

How so? Outside of a couple of comments that either stated "this group says that they don't support the bill" or "this advocacy group supports Medicaid expansion", I didn't really see anything egregious about the article.

It seems that Medicaid could potentially be expanded in Virginia. What do you think of this?

It has been about a year since Trump has taken office. What do you think of his presidency so far?

This thread is about the upcoming 2018 midterm elections.

Crazy

UVA-Wise ends their season 5-6 (4-6 in the MEC).

Emory & Henry ends their season 3-7 (1-5 in the ODAC).

Bluefield ends their season 6-5 (4-2 in the Mid-South)

Northam, Fairfax, and Herring have been elected to be governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general respectively. In addition, the House of Delegates could possibly flip to have a Democratic majority. As of this post, the Dems only need to win 4 races to get the majority in the House of Delegates

The Astros have won the World Series, 4 games to 3

Bluefield just clinched a winning season last night. They are now 6-3 and only have 2 games remaining with a victory over Union College

This year's World Series matches up the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros. The Dodgers took a 1-0 series lead last night with a 3-1 victory. How do you think the series will be like and who do you have winning it?

Right now, there's a debate at UVA-Wise between Ed Gillespie (R) and Ralph Northam (D), to determine who will be the next governor of Virginia. This thread is mostly for just the general election coming up this November. What do you all think?

Just checked the football schedule for Bluefield. They're 3-3 so far this season. Not too bad.

Is there any sort of correlation between fans of UVA-Wise also being fans of UVA in Charlottesville? I'm just curious to see approximately how much of the fans of Wise are also fans of Charlottesville.

Lusk's first game as HC of the Rams has just finished up. They led 10-7 at halftime, but eventually lost to Cumberland (TN) 24-17.

Too late for the Union/Burton Game.

ETSU picked 8th of 9 in both the SoCon preseason polls (Coaches & Media)

UVA-Wise was picked 4th out of 11 in the MEC preseason poll, while Concord was picked 9th.

E&H was chosen to win the ODAC conference title.

Heading into the 2017 season, my guess for the top 5 would have to be:

 

1. Alabama

2. Ohio State

3. Oklahoma

4. USC

5. Washington
