IMO, Nevada holds the key to Gonzaga, as Thompson still wants 12/12

Gonzaga doesn’t even know UNR plays in the MWC.

Nobody cares about UNR and they are not enticing anyone anywhere.

Little Robie, when you create a post, don't forget to hit the idiot button after you post it.

You should also seek treatment for that nasty case of Reno envy that you just can't seem to shake.  It seems to be  getting worse.

The funny thing about this is that Robert’s considered normal on this board even w his porn posting past behind him. The bar keeps getting lowered. 👍

I wouldn’t say normal. Accepted is more like it. He’s still a deranged lunatic but damn it, he’s our deranged lunatic.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

Are you drunk?

in 19 seasons, the MW has has 3 seasons with one bid, 5 three bid seasons, 1 four bid season and 1 five bid season. the rest are two bid seasons

 

It doesn't matter what happened 15 years ago.  The trend is downward the last 5 years, which coincides with the P5 movement.  They are taking less and less non power teams as at larges.

Additionally, you guys are all way too high on New Mexico.

Thompson's statement at MWC media days that he's open to a 12th Olympic sports member was telling. Why would he keep going there? It was strategic. While the WCC gave in to Gonzaga's wishes, the possibility of another Western power basketball conference is just too enticing (to the Zags) if that is perceived as a possibility down the road.

With that obvious goal in mind, I can't undersell the importance of Nevada's season this year. If Muss brings them to the F4 or beyond, Nevada legitimately sits on the verge of becoming another Wichita State/Gonzaga type power program. It all hinges on Muss becoming a Marshall/Few type stalwart coach who makes Nevada his legacy. That becomes a strong probability if he takes the team to the promised land.

Consequently, the MW becomes increasingly desirable for Gonzaga because the Zags are really tired of pulling all the weight in their league. IF Nevada keeps pulling in McDonald's AA's, that would be extremely attractive because it sets the table for the rest of the conference to improve as well. And, it already looks like SDSU, New Mexico, Boise, etc, aren't far away in a perennial 1-bid league. 

A duo of Gonzaga-Nevada immediately makes the MWC a multiple-bid league. Having what is perceived to be an automatic 2, makes it a lot more conceivable that the MW can get 3-4. That's a foothold that Gonzaga hasn't had. As good as St Mary has been, they haven't been anything more than a bubble team. They haven't been a recruiting juggernaut. 

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it will be easy. Nevertheless, the arenas and fanbases of the MW (combined with another legit power program) would give Gonzaga the much bigger stage its program has deserved all these years. If some of the other programs blow up as well, it could lead to a MW renaissance that ultimately challenges the Pac for recruits and bids. 

However, it all starts with Nevada this year. The position Muss has them in is really the biggest (and most overlooked) story of 2018-2019. 

If all the stars align and Nevada plays unconscious this year and Gonzaga does come over as #12... BYU has a lot to think about too. Don't think that BYU wouldn't want that recruiting bump from joining what would likely be considered a high major basketball conference.    

It's football season.  The sport in the MWC that pays all of our bills.  The most important sport in the MWC.  That will never change.

Nevada transcends conference. In the ACC Washoe, we talk basketball any time we like.

Did he do that?  I thought it was that clown @Loboblast

I was told the same a number of years ago. However, it was just rumor and from what I've read, if viewing internet porn was a crime, 2/3 of Utah would be in jail.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Dude sent me porn gifs in my messages here on the site.  

I'd argue most adults would be in jail if that was the case.

Yes, Blast sent a GIF of a dude slapping a girl with his dick to multiple people.  He was banned after that.

I heard about that. However, I thought somebody was saying Robert did the same.

As far as I know, RR has not done something like that.  At least not as long as I’ve owned the board.

@battle.borne I agree with your statement about a rising tide and all, but in regards to Muss staying... if his alma mater or huge P5 school, or an NBA team were to offer him, 3-5 mil a year or more... you think he’d still stay, even if he knew that Gonzaga said they’ll join the MW (hypothetically), in say 3-5 years? 

Tell me more about USD ponying up $3-5 million per for their next MBB coach.
