I'm ready to put sensors in the ball to determine the proper spot.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Baseball isn’t as simple in my opinion. Different batters have different heights and different stances and strike zone adjusts slightly for different batters. I’m sure there’s a way to adjust, but I’m more old school in baseball. Football the line to gain and measurements could easily be simplified.

They could just scan each player's stance and have it when each batter comes up to the plate.  When a guy gets called up, that would be part of the process, like getting the name sewn on the uniform, getting the official photo taken, signing the contract, getting your stance scanned, etc.

Holy heck the Horns came back and won i thought they were celebrating Halloween early the way things were going.
Two OT road wins against bad teams in a row.  I'm not sure what that says about Texas but it's mostly not good.

The Horns' upcoming game against Vanderbilt on 11/1 in Austin will be Texas' first home game since 9/20 and the first home game of the entire season against a P4 team.  So far only road games @Ohio State, @Florida, @Kentucky, @Miss State.  And then of course the neutral site game at the Cotton Bowl vs. OU.

Sounds like Arch Manning is going to be out with a possible concussion.  I'm assuming he'll miss the Vandy and Georgia games at the very least, maybe Arkansas too.

We'll see how it goes. All of the folks calling for him to be benched are going to get their wish.  The backup is the one who threw the game winner in OT yesterday.
