  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Recruits will think he’s a cooler dude to play for if he can find some collars that stand up and cover his entire neck. Now dat be get’n jiggy n’shit, home boy!!
  6. Didn’t the Aztecs get within like 5 points in the middle to late 2nd half? I think so. Just checked. They got within 6 points with 5:19 left in the game. It can be done, but not likely.
  7. I think you’ve been drinking some spiked punch. I sure as hell hope it happens. But I think the team that beats UCONN has to be an explosive offense that totally goes off, and UCONN just having a bad night on shots dropping and luck. It ain’t enough to have a great defense. The Aztecs will have to be on fire, offensively. It can be done.
  8. Why don’t you tell us a story about the price of toasters in Buenos Aires while you’re at it. WTF does that have to do with anything? We’re talking about Trump vs. Biden 2024.
  9. You guys do know that UNLV is playing Boston College right now, right?
  10. During your intermittent absences on the board, we did some wellness checks, and each time your mom said you had volunteered to go back to DC to protect the capitol from another insurrection. I heard the threat level just rose again……you better go. I just mailed one of these to your mom. If you ever want the right answer to something, just push the button. You’re welcome. Sorry, it just answers questions. If you want hot chicks, you’ll have to go to @Gonzagafan2021 for that. I keep my own hot chicks.
  11. We rarely agree because you’re wrong most of the time, you woke sissy cross country skier.
  12. Why would NBC give Notre Dame their own prime Saturday contract? Hint: It has something to do with high ratings. Where do all the people watching come from? South Bend and nearby by cities? Of course not. Why does Notre Dame have so many fans show up at games all over the country? Because they have a large national following. Some are alum, others chose to be Irish fans due to their success, mascot, affiliation of being Catholic, etc. TV executives are not obsessed with markets, they’re obsessed with getting the best ratings possible. Markets are a part of that, but markets don’t make them a dime. TV ratings do because they can charge advertisers more which is how they get paid. Why isn’t everyone after San Jose St. if markets are everything? This is all very basic common sense, and it’s amazing that you can’t see this.
  13. Regardless of how you want to define local or regional, if there are people giving your school ratings, they will be counted. That means local, regional and national. TV people want ratings, period.
  14. You’re an idiot. You don’t get to define what a local market is. The state of Utah is not a local market. The state of BYU is part of their regional market.
  15. Dude, you are drunk on local market size. Get over it. In 2024, your value to a big conference is how much money your university athletic programs will bring in money. Houston got invited after a careful analysis showed that they would bring in enough money. That’s all that matters. Do you think Oregon got invited to the Big-10 because of the Eugene, OR market? Success breeds viewership, and that viewership sometimes largely comes from outside your local market. What about the University of Iowa in Iowa City, population 75,000? What about Iowa St. in Ames, population 65,000? I could do this all day.
  16. There are 3 markets for a school that affect ratings: local, regional and national. Example: BYU. Small local Provo market, strong regional and national markets. And just because you sit in a huge local market like SJSU does, it doesn’t mean you own much of it. Ultimately, the networks are obviously looking for as big of ratings as they can to charge a lot for ad time. They will use whatever tools they can to attempt to predict what future ratings will be. There’s a lot of analysis that goes into it, and casual fans are waaaaaaaay too simple minded about it.
  17. Dude, HS girls were doing that to me around the time after WWI ended.
  18. What does TCU have in common with Nevada and Utah St? TCU got their asses kicked by both in nearly identical fashion this season. Both were Q1 games, both games were played on the 22nd of the month, both scored 88 points against TCU and allowed nearly the same number of points, both were underdogs in the 3 point range and both games were played on a neutral court.
  19. Oh, I know. I was just trolling him like I do with his upside down question marks and exclamation points at the beginning of sentences as if he’s speaking Spanish.
  20. Correct. $1.64 mil has been earned to date for each of the 11 MWC schools. An SDSU win would make it $1.82 mil, and a USU major upset would make it $2.0 mil. I’m sure Hawaii feels left out, but we’ll buy them a Pepsi as a gesture of friendship. If Boise had pulled theirs out, and won in the first round, as well as NV in the first round, we’d be looking at $2.36 mil per school. Just for fun, based on this year’s bracket, our maximum tourney credit potential was 34 credits. Eventually we would’ve knocked each other out a bit. So $68 mil is $6.18 mil per school.
