Hard to argue with your list, but there will be interesting disagreements. Good thread.

We're locked out now. Even with the playoff expansion the G5 only gets one team in, and they don't get a full share of the payout. The BB tournament is becoming more and more P4 centric, and they basically just kicked the G5 out of the NIT. Declaring that we (G5) need the NCAA is classic Stockholm Syndrome. The P4 IS the NCAA. We'll be so much further ahead if we just leave our captives. Oh, and yes, folks will watch as long as we're on. We're barely on now and that is only going to get worse going forward. Might as well take off and build our own media rights, playoffs, championships, etc. I bet we'd get better TV coverage if we're disassociated with the current P4 (future semi pro league). The sooner the better because the current format and association isn't going to get any friendlier.

SDSU's winter conditioning in full swing
Headbutt replied to Paul Garrison's topic in MWC Sports Forum
Now you're getting it. I have it on good authority that UNLV switched to the cigar and donut system a year ago. It works. Word has it that Wyoming tried, but all they could afford was Pop-Tarts and Marlboro's. -

We mostly play freeze tag for about an hour, then retire for donuts and cigars. Practice? We talkin' about practice? -

Thank you! What a story. Maybe the rest of the conference should also be doing calisthenics. Breakthrough!! -
Aaaaahhhhh, success.

See ya' in two weeks for our revenge spanking. I don't see tonight happening twice.

Not arguing your point at all. Just pointing out that there is as much collegiality among land grants as among AAU's. The two have different missions. The AAU is focused on research, yet a ton of research is done by land grants that AAU's don't see. Just different research. DeKalb doesn't dial up MIT for a project to figure out how to do a better job of feeding third world countries. Or more specifically, congressional funds for ag research are much more likely to land with a land grant, whether they are AAU or not. As far as college athletics. Yeah, they pretty much originated with the land grants, mostly because there were more land grants back then, and they still continue many of those rivalries. They also collude on research just as much as AAU's do, just different research. As CSU continues to open their stem cell research program, they are working with other land grant schools on sharing research. AAU really isn't that interested, they're more about SpaceX stuff. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying that we're different entities with different (and some overlapping) missions. AAU schools aren't out in the field helping farmers figure out how to fight a new version of wheat rust. Gotta' fight it, or none of eat.

Only when they call it both ways. Some Aztecs got mugged tonight. Isaiah Stevens definitely did. It was called loose, but it was called even. I'm always good with it when it's called even.
-
I loved it when he said that. They let 'em play.
-
Well, unfortunately the MWC fans are now aware of it thanks to the carnival barker.
-
Hope you're right. Stevens hasn't been himself in a while. He doesn't usually take over games, but he's really good at helping others do that. It's been a while, and he's due for one of those.

Been sick. Not major sick so no excuse, but a few nights in their own beds can’t have hurt. We been slumping, and illness has not been the cause. This is pretty much a must win for CSU IMO. Home game against the best team in the conference to try and stay relevant, it doesn’t get more imperative than that. I think The RAMS bring it tonight, and sadly, I think the Aztecs prevail by a couple. We’ve lost our swagger and until it comes back, we are average.

Spoken like a fan of a long time B12 member. LMAO.

Boise to Albuquerque is not 4 hours, unless you have to layover in SLC, which is not what happens. Boise to Albuquerque is about 2 hours and you land in the same time zone. SLC to Orlando is about 4.5 hours (commercial) and you lose two hours. Yeah, not the end of the world, but not the same either.
-
Meh, nobody is arguing that land grant status is based on some sort of research collaboration. That's not the mission at all. However, land grant institutions do collaborate and do create mutual advantages in getting research grants in some areas. In short, there are research advantages shared by land grant institutions, but their mission is much broader than research. Not comparable to the AAU mission at all. Apples and oranges.
-
Which one's? Montana and UTEP or WSU/OSU? I haven't seen any of those so I'm just asking.
-
Yeah, I'm sick of the Swiftie/NFL thing. Still, the Chiefs played a more disciplined game and deserved the win.
-
The first one was questionable and I said at the time that it should have been a common foul and was just clumsy play that ended bad. The second one was legit IMO. He made an extra effort to throw the other player down. Whether they were hooking each other or not, that went too far.
-
Wish I had been ice fishing. I've got to work on my priorities.
-
Yep, when the RAMS were up at the end they still had a "deer in the headlights" look. Pokes were still battling. Good job Wyo. I don't know WTF is wrong with CSU right now.
