    Let’s get one thing straight here, Natty. Yes time has softened me. I’m more anxious and cautious than I used to be. Family as passengers will do that to you. But even today I’d still be the quarterback and short stop on the MWboard team. It’s nice to have hobbies like walking in the woods and sliding down manicured slopes.

    And if we’re gonna take that beach you’re gonna get on my ass. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.

    Also, check out Shoresy and Letterkenny on Hulu. It’s Canadian humor but these are the moderate Canadians that the US should support.

    I heard you’re bad ass at jumping jacks! You even clap yours hands when they come together over your head. I haven’t seen you do push ups, but I’ll bet you also touch your chest to the ground like you’re supposed to. I did see our fellow sissy XC Skier @renoskier do push ups once, and he does them from his knees like Richard Simmons does. Guys like him need exercise coaches to stop them from cheating.

    Alford and Pitino didn't turn down anything. These are the kind of statements every coach makes as soon as they have been notified that they are no longer being considered for the position.

    You’re full of poopy. 💩

    Alford expressed interest in the OSU job but OSU did not reciprocate.  Basically sent up a distress flare.

    Pitino was interviewed but not offered, well known in ABQ his wife wants out.  Seems like he will take if offered

    LOL, some of you guys hate Alford so much, you have to make shit up? They had Alford at the top of their list as of about 5 days ago. He was never really interested. He wants an extension with a bump, some assistant increases, etc. This was an assertive friendly reminder to our AD and Prez what he wants, and it’s as simple as that.

    This will be a challenging game at Seton Hall. They will have a good turnout.  This is just the way i want it. Ive enjoyed the various lineups lately. Getting the players more time together to setup next year. Go Rebels!

    With rumors of Richard Pitino turning down Louisville, Steve Alford is looking like he's bunkering down in Reno.

    This speaks volumes about MWC basketball. The brand is strong and these coaches are choosing to stay. A job to watch is USC - where Andy Enfield is leaving to take the SMU job. Would they look at an MWC coach? I don't think so.

    Holding on to our coaches is paramount as the MWC looks to take the next step. There is so much growth potential since UNLV is still climbing into that top tier. UNLV is the position that the national media are looking most closely at as a face of the conference. If Kruger takes another step next year (in a big way), and the MWC holds up like it did this year, I believe the MWC will get the respect necessary to improve everyone's seed line across the board.

    The Alford Plea = "I got your back, UNLV." He needs UNLV and he knows it; and I believe he knows what's coming. The Rebels are back, baby.

    I've been calling for this firing for YEARS.  I've e-mailed Jeremiah Dickey about this more than a few times since Dickey became the A.D. at Boise state.

    This guy never should have been hired for the job in the first place IMO.   He's a good Cross Country head coach but he's a truly AWFUL Track & Field head coach and his results at the MWC T & F championships for Indoor & Outdoor T & F prove that.  He has taken a Boise State T & F team that USED to be a top 25 team nearly every year and he has demolished it by focusing solely on bringing in long-distance runners and little else ever since he was hired.

    Damn, I’m disappointed. I thought this was about firing that lousy Chess HC you guys have.

    Isn't it almost time for your bi-annual bonding get-a-way with contard?

    This sounds like a great trip for you two. I'm sure you still have the mountain bike built for 2. And if you get to meet up with utenation, all the better.

    Once my stalker, always my stalker. I hate to bring this up, but this is actually a sports board, and I don’t even think you realize that.

    We need to get your ass out here again.  The mountains by Ogden are nowhere near as pretty as the ones in the SL Valley.  Even the ones by Provo are nice. 
     

    SL gets more diverse each year and the county is pretty blue on culture and politics.  I’ve learned how to navigate the cultural speed bumps pretty well. Go to Utah county and you’re on your own there. lol. 
     

    The best part of our setup is so much good outdoor recreation is literally 10-15 minutes out of town. Btw, if you make a trip, you need to fish the upper Provo river. Fly only in most parts.

    It is so tender & sweet to see you two bonding together, again. This board rocks. 👍

  9. Go UNLV! Beat the Seton Hall of Shame Butt Pirates! 

    So Seton Hall is named after its one classroom building, called Seton Hall? How about they add another one and name it Second Hall, and change the school name to that. That way, if they expand in the future we can be kept up to date easily. When they get to the Fifth Hall, they can just call themselves UNLV East.

    He's not really at all like his father, which makes it odd. He's not a fiery guy. Doesn't light into his players. He recruits relatively well (mostly on his name). He's a mediocre Xs and Os coach as we've seen. 

    I doubt his dad was around that much to raise him. If he was, maybe he knows what it’s like to get verbally abused and he refuses to be like his dad.

    These people are wack jobs but universities and pro sports design to make the teams part of your identity. That's why we get to upset with losses and are so happy when they win.  We take it personally by design. 

    Even us normals would be good to take a step back sometimes and remind ourselves these guys out there are 18-23 years old. They are babies, even if they are 6'8 230lbs. We're living and dying on the actions of teenagers. It's pretty ridiculous. 

    I’m vulnerable and stupid now. You should’ve seen me at 18!

  12. I still can’t believe we scored 18 points in just 64 seconds to send a game to OT against New Mexico in Muss’s first year. I believe no one has scored 18 point or better in NCAA history in 64 or less. That’s 6 3-pointers in a row really quick and NM missing too many free throws. Won it in OT with another 3.

    Rumors floating out there. What say you Pack fans? 

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Some of us think it’s just leverage to get an increase & extension, more NIL money and more for his assistants, in some sort of amounts. I think UCLA ruined the P5 rat race for him, and he’s basically said that. I really think he wants to stay at Nevada until he retires, and he’s put a ton of effort and fundraising into getting things built up the way he likes them. 

    Then there’s the new state of the art $400 mil arena that he’s said will be one of the very best in the country, and would allow him to recruit elite talent. And the new GSR crazy ass driving range that he can use at lunch had him calling it as good as it gets. This is him going nuts at the announcement:

    Major milestone for this conference?

    Definitely had to happen for us to eventually move forward with them, but I don’t know if it was really too much of a problem to get done after getting a ruling from the court last year. It’s good that the departing schools didn’t feel the PAC-2 was being unfair which would’ve taken it back to court.

    When I went to SDSU, it wasn’t just a wet campus, they actually watered the grass, plants and trees with beer. I admit, I wasn’t a tremendously motivated student at that time. Getting hammered at lunch made the afternoon of classes a little more bearable. Us and Florida St. were always #1 and #2 in the annual Playboy College Party School Challenge. It would flip around a lot. 

    A dude that lived above us in Mission Valley went to Florida St. and his buddy came out to visit. Me and my roommate challenged them to a drinking contest to settle the Florida St. vs. SDSU thing. We went back and forth, and it went on for a couple hours, at least. We were both looking at each other thinking maybe we should call it a tie, but I just said f-it. I went and grabbed some vodka and filled one of the clear solo cups to the top and I chugged it. So now they had to do the same thing and they said fvck that, and left. 

    But the win wouldn’t count if I puked. So I laid on my side in bed and blacked out. Then the next thing I know, my roommate wakes me up at 4:15 the next afternoon and my work is on the phone wondering where I am because I start at 4. I was still absolutely completely drunk. So I took a shower and got a ride to work, and I played it off that I had the flu. So I just sat there with sunglasses on. Eddie showed up at midnight because he worked the graveyard. He was actually my supervisor for the GasCard cardlock. So he shows up and I’m almost sober but not quite. I told him the whole story and he was busting up. But that was the most drunk I ever got without puking. It was horrible. SDSU was once one hell of a party school.

    I know you're not supposed to objectify women nowadays, but Yales cheerleaders are tough to look at.

    I think those are also Idaho cheerleaders dressed up as Yale cheerleaders because Yale is on spring break and couldn’t send any. Kinda sad, but I think Idaho’s are actually a little better.

    The Biden Campaign's trolling is getting pretty epic.

    image.png

    That’s not what I would call epic trolling at all. Very boring and cliche IMHO. If he’s going to do that, hire some joke writers to answer these stupid Truth twats or whatever ‘grab the pussy’ nomenclature he uses. Are the posts themselves called ‘truths’? That is so cheesy, tacky…..  

    Never trust a plumber from Quality Plumbing. When they have to pimp euphemisms in the title, you know it’s bullshit because they’re trying too hard. A Truth post? Good God, it’s guaranteed bullshit. 

    Trump says he could stand in the middle of 5th Ave. and shoot someone, and he wouldn’t lose any voters. If Trump stood in the middle of 5th and someone shot him, it would become a national holiday.
