  1. Yep, the bitching about the slight is legit, but we can eliminate it by making some other conference bitch about the slight.
  2. Wuuuutttttt?!? Just so hard to imagine Rice and Boyle on the phone pumping each others egos.

  4. I think the route to the top in the MWC is tougher than you give it credit for, for various reasons. Back to the seedings. Michigan State was given extra credit by the committee (per the chair) for gaining such good Quad 2 wins in conference. The MWC was downgraded (per the committee chair) for racking up so many Q1 wins in conference. WTF? Multiple teams were praised in interviews for their OOC play and that reason was given for a higher seeding. I know CSU struggled in conference on the road, but who had a better OOC? Not many. Not that we should have been a high seed, but if OOC really mattered, why the play in game? The MWC was punished for being the MWC and forcing the committee to put 6 teams in. Yeah, getting 6 teams in is a pretty solid accomplishment in an 11 team league, but it feels like we pissed off the committee for making them do it.
  5. I hope so. Not convinced, but will be cheering for The Aggies.
  6. Between the two play-in teams, I feel like Boise got the tougher draw. CU is pretty hot right now. As for game 2, I think Boise can run Florida. CSU didn't get an easy match-up with VA, but definitely an easier route than facing CU. Round two? Texas is way better than a wounded Florida IMO. Game 3 (round of 32), we'll both definitely have to earn the respect if we can get to that one.
  7. Well Boise fans, last four in is still in. BS job by the committee, now we just need to make them eat crow.
  8. This is true. However, the contract they made with the MWC as far as poaching seems to indicate that the MWC will be going PAC instead of the other way around. I don't think that's the best move, but it's the impression I got from the wording that I saw.
  9. Media negotiations should start this summer (if they already haven't), we'll see what their intentions actually are when that stuff starts to become public.
  10. No. There's a contract that makes it prohibitively expensive for that to happen. Canzano isn't good at math.
  11. We should definitely invite Cal at a 50% share, with a 10% escalator annually until they become a full member with equal payout. They'd laugh at the deal, but.....+++++ 'em.
  12. OK, that's a big reach that I really like. Make it so #1.
  13. Yep. No argument at all. I do think athletics are an important part of a university though. My biggest complaint isn't that we are mid-majors that make academics a mission for our student athletes. My biggest complaint is the greedy money grab that is ultimately going to rob some swimmers, X-country runners, and golfers a chance at a college education that has existed for many decades. Most of us will continue to play FB, BB, etc. but when entire track and field programs start getting cut it doesn't just become about a university. Without collegiate olympic participants getting proper training and development, we as a country do worse in the olympics. Bad example, but you get my point.
  14. Not if they can help it. As long as they keep the rest of us as a practice league, they just keep getting raises. We're like an abused woman who just can't walk away. Until we do, we just feed their agenda.
  15. Yeah, Nevada's still dancing but this might change the NET a little. Hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. Even harder in the MWC. Honestly, Nevada really missed McIntosh tonight. When the refs are wearing out their whistles, it's tough to play without a key bench guy. Blackshear needed the break. I don't know how many minutes he had, but 5 less with a competent scorer in his place would have made a big difference.
  16. Refs win by 7. Glad they put their cash on the RAMS. 50 total fouls. 26 on CSU, 24 on UNR. Good game Pack.
  17. Almost correct. OSU & WSU will not come to the MWC. The entirety of the MWC will go to the Pac brand. Same thing you're saying, just a different flag. OSU/WSU will likely see this as some sort of victory. It's not. They already lost. We're just stealing their brand.
  18. A little surprising coming out of Logan, but would be a great standard to set for the rest of the league. I hope he stays, even though I'm a little skeptical that you can keep him.
