UofMTigers Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 in the AAC you have 3 teams that need to step up their game in UConn, Memphis, and Temple... same is true of the MWC...once UNLV, New Mexico, and SDSU get rolling again, MWC will go back to being a multi-bid conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Does a Big12 board exist? Or is this guy Stunner's sock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC this poster has no affiliation with TCU and is not, nor never has been a TCU fan. He is some AAC fan I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he created his account well before stunner was here. But you might get stunner all worked up by suggesting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvspuds Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Maybe Stunner is the sock for former frog..They generally show up at the same time with the same types of posts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbow Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 no, MWC now has the rep of being a 1 bid, 1 & done conference.

trvitmvnz Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Will TCU get back to the NCAA tourney for the 1st time in 20 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYO1016 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's been 2 years of 1 bid. I'd hardly call that a trend. There a quite a few teams that will contend in 2018, including Nevada, San Diego State, Wyoming, Boise State, Colorado State, and Fresno State. 2017 - Nevada 2016 - Fresno State 2015 - Wyoming, Boise State, San Diego State 2014 - New Mexico, San Diego State 2013 - New Mexico, Boise State, Colorado State, San Diego State, UNLV 2012 - Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyomingAg Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 23 hours ago, FormerFrog said: Perhaps the MWC/MVC Challenge should be kept........ because both conferences are the same. Each has been poached to the point of no return. BYU. gone. Utah. gone. TCU. gone... Multiple bids. gone. The continued backfilling of WAC programs has created an RPI sandpit... It's swallowed the basketball conference whole. ONE BID CONFERENCES SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE THAN 10 TEAMS!!!!!! Now that FB Championship games have been deregulated, why hasn't there been an "Airport Meeting"? (in much the fashion that I laid out in an earlier post) Similarly to the MVC (who are dealing with the loss of Wichita State and Creighton) the MWC has too many small budget programs that don't care anymore... Both conference SHOULD maintain their friendship. It's a friendship born out of mutual experience. Even the names are alike. MVC-MWC... The V to W suggests that the MWC is the evolution of the MVC. Enjoy the challenge. Its like the Super Bowl of 1 bid conferences. Yeah TCU really helped the MW not be a 1 bid league. How many years did TCU make the NCAA tournament while in the MW? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerFrog Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 With Wyoming and Nevada being CBI Champions for the last 2 years, I think we're seeing a trend for the Mountain West. I really hope that in the future, the MWC has more teams go to the CBI and CIT tournaments. College basketball is big business and eventually those tournaments will increase in stature. At one time the NCAA tournament wasn't what the NIT tournament was. Then it passed it in prestige. The MWC really needs to "cut its teeth" going forward in the post season, and with 1 bid in the NCAA tournament there isn't enough meat on the bone. Fresno State almost won the CBI in 2014. Utah State was runner up in the CIT in 2012. I think history will look back fondly on the MWC's legacy in those tournaments. Every MWC team that gets a bid to said tournaments needs to play in them... and WIN. This conference needs to keep hanging banners in its gyms to stay relevant. There are only 4 teams that end their season on a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best trolling is when you come across as a real person that believes what they're saying. Whenever you see bad acting on the tube or screen, it's usually because of over-acting...trying too hard to be a real believable person. The same applies trolling. If you hit too hard negatively, it becomes obvious that you're a phony and it, therefore, has no impact. You might as well start over with a new name because you're flat out busted. You also need to be OK with taking heat and being ridiculed at times. It's part of the job. When that starts to happen, you know you're on the right track. Good luck! ?

RiverCityBronco Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Didn't FormerFrog once suggest the MWC form an alliance with CUSA? It seems obvious his/her goal is the demise of the MWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerFrog Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think some of yall are reading the wrong things into what I'm saying. The MWC has the CBI Champion for two years running. I'm just saying don't take that lightly. This is a tournament the MWC MUST have on lockdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
