  1. Boise, kindly do your duty and lose for the sake of a 6 bid MW. NM will be a blast to watch in the big dance and we'll all get more $$$.
  2. Elite play design on that last AFA three. NM giving up two wide open threes in the last couple minutes was certainly a choice.
  3. Staying even on rebounds and only 5 turnovers is huge for USU. Gotta keep that up.
  4. Great physical game so far. Love that the refs are letting them play - pray that they don't change that in the second half. LeDee is a monster and him having a 15-18 ft jumper seems unfair lol. Sakho has been playing as good of defense on him as can be expected and he still has 8 points.
  5. The Aggies have struggled against teams (@NM, Nev, @CSU) that are aggressive and physical. Unfortunately that is SDSU's forte. USU also seems gassed, particularly Osobor - wish the bye was before this game and not after. It won't be as ugly as Saturday night, but I'm guessing a 10-12 point Aztec win.
  6. I commented several times during the game how skilled Degenhart is. The man can play and is a very smart player.
  7. USU was hunting Rice and Whiting all night when they played man to man. Tough spot to be in when there isn't a center to cover mistakes made by the guards. Boise threw out a 1-3-1 zone (which I thought was a great idea since other teams have ran it and given USU a lot of trouble this year), but Boise consistently had 3 guys around the ball with no one putting pressure on it. The Aggies were just lobbing passes over and getting open looks. Might have been tired legs? Really surprised given how good Boise always is on defense.
  8. Really wish the refs would let them play to prep us for how physical the tourney is.
  9. Rams fans, you've got a really good team this year. Happy to not be down 10+ with the FG% disparity.
  10. There should be a special place in heaven for people who sat through that entire game. Sweet mercy that was ugly. On the other hand, it kept Bama/Ohio State fans from seeing almost the entire 1st half of their basketball game lol
  11. Yes it is. He's been 3rd string all year. Girlfriend plays volleyball for USU. Whichever team decides to stop committing stupid penalties wins this game. 175 yards of penalties in the first half.
  12. I'm expecting NM to run for 350+ yards and our coach to keep pretending there's nothing wrong with our defense. Just looked up the penalty yards for both teams. I thought USU was bad, but y'all weren't kidding about how many NM has. USU - 80 penalties avg 64 yards/game NM - 104 penalties avg 83 yards/game
  13. Not what I ever expected on the stock market thread, but exactly what the stock market thread needed. What a ride that story was (pun intended).
  14. Bought a few thousand for the first time a couple of weeks ago before they announced the rate going over 9%. Will probably buy more for my wife and I over the next 6 months. I look at them as an alternative to CDs for medium term savings - it somewhat balances out inflation rather than it kicking my butt on money saved for a car or other big purchase. The website to buy i Bonds is a pain in the ass and came out of the early 90s though.
  15. I was out of country for this, but Big Blue stripping Pete of his mustache and then his pride was the main story I heard about this tournament. This is the real reason NMSU can't get into the MWC. Which of you Nevada fans is the guy who paid up? Legendary. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.deseret.com/platform/amp/2009/3/15/20307168/utah-state-s-big-blue-benched-for-finale
  16. If Rypien throws 5 TDs and Boise only scores 21 points... You're projecting two pick sixes for USU. Sounds about right!
  17. That win feels dirty, but...did we just hand the snatching defeat from the jaws of victory torch to CSU?

    USU

    If the Aggies or Boise screw up this weekend I'll be pissed. A top 20 matchup on ESPN for the right to go to the MWC Championship would be a fun way to end the regular season.
  19. Our post defense has been soft for a couple of years. Sad after how we used to guard big guys under Stew. Jalen wants this one, but Nevada has too many horses.
  20. Sounds like the WYO players had more to drink on the Strip last night than their fans...impressive.
  21. I see Utah State's ceiling at #5 in the conference next year, with a floor of #9. If I were to bet I'd guess we land at #8. We lose Moore and Rector and gain a couple of decent looking freshmen. That along with getting our two freshmen guards time in the weight room this summer should help some. To answer another poster's question, most USU fans I know are not happy with Duryea. Stew would win 20 games each year without much difficulty (granted, it was against lesser competition), and going below .500 is not acceptable in Logan. Another year like this one and there's a chance he gets shown the door.
  22. I think USU was following his progress at CSI, but I don't believe we ever offered him. I don't follow recruiting as close as I used to though, so I could be mistaken.
  23. Yes, Casdon is the younger brother of Brady Jardine. Brady was indeed a freak athlete (43 inch vertical) who had his senior year cut short by a lisfranc fracture. I'm very curious to see Casdon's style of play and how he pans out. I'm guessing he turns out to be a decent player.
