The thing is, at our level if you don’t see regular minutes as a freshman you aren’t seeing them as an upper class man. Too easy to go out and get an upper class man or 3 from the portal or a new freshman. There aren’t any development projects at major programs any more. Only exception might...

We’d be in the B 12 today, but yeah.

I don’t know if this in “inevitable” but I hope it happens. I have no doubt that conversations have bee continuing behind the scenes. If you remember the Rutgers move, those discussions went on for at least 3-4 years with many people labeling it wishful thinking by the Rutties until it...

FCS? I think we hold it for the Philadelphia Eagle. After all, you want to be the best you beat the best! Isn’t that your motto?

I agree with this with the caveat that one can never predict the outcome of a season with confidence. I think the combination of good coaching and solid team gives us a chance to have a good season but I expected maybe 7-5 last year. And honestly 6-6 or 7-5 in 2023. Hoped to be 5-7 in Mora’s...

#1 would be head to head. You can’t really use tournament because who knows if they’ll play each or what will happen. Every league has a system to break ties for its tourney seeding. I would just use that.

I’ve always said that. The bid shouldn’t go to a team that wins 3 games in 3 days when nobody plays that way all season. I’d give bids to every league champ and if you must go bigger make every at-large team go to a play-in game. I’d also go back to 64 if I had the power.

I think that is not true. It will very quickly establish itself as the best G6 and be very close if not equal to the NBE in basketball. It won’t have the drag of the legacy members like Seton Hall, DePaul and Georgetown who collect their income without producing anything. If you are honest the...

I read somewhere that less than 2% of d1 basketball players play in the NBA. So if it is a minor league it is a pretty poor one. Even if you include the G and oversees it’s probably less than 5%. And probably an ever lower number who actually make a career out of it. I’ve seen 1.6 to 1.75%...

They are Cal Berkley with better basketball.

Lots of conferences, maybe most, are moving games to streaming of one sort or another. There are a ton of “who cares” games every year especially when leagues get too big. Only the team’s fans and the people who bet on those games even care. Especially if they are up against some bigger games...

I I wouldn’t say that is really true about Missouri. At the time they left the B12 for the SEC they were coming off a very successful stretch. They had a 12-2, 10-4 10-3 records pretty regular top 25 finishes including a #4, and then went 12-2 their 2nd year in the SEC and 11-3 Won the SEC...

Orange shirts. Apparently the 1926 or 27 wore them. I hate “alternate” uniforms. My biggest fear is we will show up in red or black some night. We need to establish an identity. Consistent uniforms are part of it. And for heaven’s sake just pick a helmet and stick with it. I prefer white...

A few years ago they decided the athletic teams woul be Army West Point. I guess so the wouldn’t be confused with the other teams from West Point.

I can’t decide who I’d rather play for the National Championship. I’ve narrowed it down to: Ohio State. They don’t want play us at home. Wait ‘til they have to face us on a neutral field! Florida… revenge is a dish best served cold! They’ll never expect it! Notre Dame. We win the...
