  1. I successfully defended my PhD dissertation yesterday. No revisions necessary before I file it next month. That means you have to call me Doctor, now. It's, like, the law. It's been a wild run to being over educated and under employed. And a wild year at that.

  3. UPDATE: Im headed to Dayton to see CSU-Virginia. I found a nonstop flight from Denver to Cincinnati which is an hours drive from Dayton. If CSU wins, I’ll have to figure out how to get to Charlotte. If they lose, maybe I’ll stay an extra day and see Boise State-Colorado before I head home.

  6. Friends, Rebels, peasants, lend me your ears! I have returned from the egotistical display from the moderator menace. Well, well, well @halfmanhalfbronco I assume you've learned your lesson and that this timeout you gave yourself from my posts has given you some time to reflect on your many mistakes. I'm sure you've delved into the hypocrisy that only you're allowed to use naughty boo boo words with a historical context to be a slur but can also be used to insult certain posters for being stupid and annoying. (As seen parodied on SouthPark--R-word or F-word)---but not me?! But the injustice of incarceration has taught me humility and patience--so I will let this pass with a warning. But be forewarned---my vengeance will be swift and merciless if you cross me again! Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank all of my loyal vassals @SharkTanked, @Rosegreen , @ph90702 , @quickdraw for advocating for their Imperator's return--- Their call to arms against tyranny nearly brought a tear mine eye--I've trained you all well. For the rest of you, please commence your cheers and adoration for my return

  7. The big boys think the 32-team super division sounds great until they figure out somebody has to be the Panthers and the Jets. A few 2-10 or 3-9 seasons at Penn State or Florida or some other place that's used to winning, or two 9-3 teams playing for the national title, and the bloom comes off the rose. If I'm one of the other 100 current FBS teams, I don't play them for anything less than $3 million a game.

  13. With their 5 football wins, the Rams put together their best season since 2017. Truly an accomplishment in Fort Collins! Does Norvell get coach of the year? I think so. I’m not sure there are many coaches out there that could pull off what he did this season having CSU on the brink of a bowl game. Congrats CSU!!

  16. It's whatever for me. If Wyoming makes the new PAC 12 fine. Can't say I would be too pumped about Tulane, Memphis, SMU or schools like that. Could give a shit less about the PAC 4. I would want the whole MW to go but I'm sure some schools would get dropped for AAC schools I like the current MW personally. I'd rather stand pat. If Wyoming is left behind. Bring on the Montanas and whomever else. Yeah it will be different but I'll still watch Wyoming football. College football isn't what it used to be for me anyway. This won't be the last of the big changes either. If players become employees that will also be a seismic change to the sport. This fighting over scraps is old. I just want to watch football games against regional schools and rivals.

  17. Y'all are overthinking this. This is a one-year agreement to buy some time for WSU and OSU to finish up their legal issues and play a schedule. Will there be shenanigans? Sure, but this legal contract won't be a part of it. What it may do is make the MWC more palatable to OSU and Wazoo's fan bases. It might also make them more unattractive to P5's if we clock them a time or two. Both schools look like they're going to hemorrage players through the Portal. A similar agreement in hoops would be really interesting.

  22. I also wanted to say something about Dayton and the First Four games. They are amazing hosts. From ther minute I arrived this afternoon,, everybody was interested to talk about the games. Asking who i was here to see, where i was from. And the feel at the arena is much more about local community and really good basketball fans. Not the corporate feel at the bigger sites. Yes, I was disappointed CSU was sent here but in the end it was worth every penny. As silly as this sounds, if you ever have a chance to attend these First Four games, hop on it.

  25. Welp, the pac is dead, I remember months ago I asked on Reddit if WSU should just go independent, people thought I was crazy for even suggesting it.. Admittedly, it still is crazy. But at least I was prepared. I was shocked months ago but now I'm just sad. I will miss the pac. But for now, the pac's autobid is all I care about. Ideally, Stanford+Cal decide to headline a rebranded Mountain-Pac conference and they negotiate a decent tv deal based off of that playoff spot alone. Honestly, going to Hawaii/Vegas/Reno beats going to anywhere in Arizona so there's that and WSU is finally going to shake off its little brother rep and not compete as perennial underdogs if a rebrand with the MWC occurs, that's exciting too. Honestly, having reasons to visit Vegas/Hawaii while watching competitive and meaningful games would be nice..so fingers crossed lol CalFord are seeking reputation which is fine, the thing is..there really isn't an academically elite conference anymore so they'll have to compromise there no matter what unless they go indy. The problem there is, OSU might feel more comfortable in the Big 12 if they can't get CalFord on board elsewhere and WSU..well, that'd would leave us..if possible, in an even worse situation than the current one lol. Lots of WSU fans thinking Big12 but honestly, it's all about that cfp spot and if things fall right the MWC presents the best of all current opportunities to do just that. Stanford should grow a spine and trust that its brand is strong as is, and can only get stronger by headlining a conference but what do I know..? But that's the most likely scenario, I think. WSU will commit the MWC and will spend to win, OSU wont be invited to go along with whatever CalFord does and will end up right here with us. CalFord will end up either as independents or they'll realize the whole thing is temporary, park their programs in the Pac-MW for 7 odd years, perhaps play for a national title in that time as they headline a conference, and wait for the 2 superconferences to emerge from all this . I just don't think they'd be ok playing such schools as us even if it is just temporary... I say as "us" because there seems to be this notion that WSU and OSU thinks of themselves as "elite pac-12 teams" vs non p5 teams, but being told that you don't belong by the rest of the pac constantly, or that youre lucky, or on coattails...it gets old quick. We've had our status of a lesser pac team held against us long enough too; glad to be rid of their snooty selves as well honestly if that's the case..elitism is why they're now out begging for a conference in the first place.. Personally, I won't mind it at all. Boise is a good game, the travel is good, and WSU isn't such a little fish anymore...if and only if; the cfp spot remains intact. If it doesn't then WSU has problems beyond football and the state legislature will likely have to get involved. That's why the financial grumblings don't make sense to me. Either the payout from the pac will be enough, if not then the state will have to pony up because wsu's academic infrastructure can't be replaced within the state (huge vet/med/engineering etc school) and there are people's actual lives at stake here. I mean, you can't trade away the buildings.. As far as the apple cup is concerned, the answer is no. UW killed it.The student body wouldn't even allow WSU to face UW every year just to get smacked due to the extreme differences in money and talent, after about the 3rd year of uneven matchups, neither school would want to participate in it anyway, it'd be embarrassing for WSU and cringe for UW. The Apple Cup is dead unless the talent gap doesn't grow..which it will. And before all that? Those games get unruly as it is. I think they'd just be wiser to concentrate on making sure this year's Apple Cup actually gets played first. They're lucky it's in Seattle this year...if it were in Pullman I don't know if that game would even be playable this year. I mean, whenever the Huskies go to Pullman the environment is already a bit too toxic if it's a good year. This year? Oh boy.. And before you come at me with "the paycheck..." umm, yeah, that paycheck is worth way less than constant Ls against UW..if you really think people will stand for it because of money..like, umm, yeah..lots of the people of that mindset in and around Pullman may not even have a job at WSU in a couple weeks. The alumni network is already calling for heads lol... All in all..it won't really matter to us. They tell us in Pullman, once a coug..always a coug lol. We'll support the university regardless because for lots of us..WSU was like your first family away from your only family. It's not really just a school for us..people don't go to WSU just to get an education. I mean, nobody goes to WSU because they want to live in Pullman lol, they go because they want to be a part of and enjoy an actual community beyond just getting the degree.. So, yeah.. go cougs!

  28. Well folks - I don’t post here much anymore because of the regime that now runs the joint but today is an extraordinary circumstance. A few things have become very clear— on the field/court success don’t mean dick. Rivalries and traditions don’t mean dick. The networks control everything. And college sports is not about amateur athletes anymore. If we G5s (yes, even you SUDS) get cut out of the CFP, I’ll stop watching anything outside of our conference. Those mega semi-pro leagues can go +++++ themselves.

  35. For bringing up the Badwill Hunting disaster again. For those that do not know, Badwill was a moderator for Rafter. Rafter kept him a s a mode after he started threatening posters physically, and until he threatened @tailingpermit with death. He created a fake dead daughter that was a navy pilot he claimed was killed in Afghanistan. I brought that up as a point of evidence of Rafter being an overall really shitty board owner that nobody in the MWC community, including other site owners, respects. If any of you were to go over there and turn it into more of a dumpster fire and make Rafter miserable, you have my FULLL support and blessing. Tell him HMHB sent ya....

  36. My stepkid stays in the basement and watches movies and plays video games instead of doing homework or studying. I think he has flunked 1/2 of his classes over 5 semesters. He just thinks that’s how college is. He has a ton of debt as well. His mom won’t say much to him. He occasionally watches a football game with me. My 10 year old is a football nut. He can watch football all day. My daughter is probably on her way to becoming a stripper, she got her mothers looks and her Dad’s morals. What a mess of a life.

  39. Ya'll have a tough pill to swallow. The MWC is a step down from the Pac 12, we all see that. Nobody's happy about what OSU and WSU are going through. I've never seen you as a huge step up academically and only occasionally athletically (like right now) but we've all been living on ramen while you folks have built your entire department based on real food, so us MWC folks can only imagine the fiscal issues your facing. There is no lack of empathy for what's hitting your athletic department. It sucks, but it's real. I'd love it if OSU saw the MWC as an opportunity instead of a death sentence. That's how I read your presidents position on things though. That's sad. Without the Pac12, there is only the power 4. It looks like there will only be one 5th best, and then a different level. The obvious 5th best is the MWC with OSU and WSU. OSU and WSU to the AAC is pretty much a death sentence for the viability of those two (as though you haven't been hit hard enough). I really don't see any other practical choice for OSU and WSU than the MWC, but it ain't up to me.

  40. Considering that you're 7-19 against USU in football, and 6-20-1 against SJSU I don't blame you... Find a place that your program can actually be successful. It's hard to build a fan base while constantly losing to superior programs.

  41. One things for sure, if the PAC4 does anything with the AAC, under no circumstances should we let them park their Oly sports in the MWC. Let them travel across the country or go to the BW/WCC.

  42. A whole lot of crazy talk going on, on this board. From fans trying to justify why the Pac would want them over some other school, to worrying about what Stanford might do, to thoughts that Gloria would/could dissolve the MWC. Folks, we have 12 teams. None have to go away. The Pac4 has zero leverage to dictate any terms unless they can bring a TV exec to the table promising to at least double MWC money...they can't. We offer membership to the Pac4 and it's up to them. Our terms. Take 'em or leave 'em. No MWC team needs to meet any Pac standards, nobody but Stanford gives a shit what Stanford does, and Gloria has zero interest in disrupting the MWC to codify a Pac school. Chill out. We're not the ones in danger of going homeless.
