I tend to agree with swordsman. The vast majority of the student athletes who are playing college sports today are still going to go to college and they'll still want to play their sport, they just won't get paid to do it. The level will be somewhere between club sports and where it is today, which ...

Anyone see the play in the first half where Queta stepped out of bounds on a dunk??He was in by at least a foot. I rewound it to watch it again to see if I had missed something because I couldn't believed he called that. It wasn't even close and the camera was on him the whole play until he finishe...

It seems like it's always bad karma whenever we're popular with the talking head crowd. IIRC, we the dark horse darling going in to the Marquette game and came out and laid an egg.

Interestingly enough, according to this site http://mcubed.net/ncaab/seeds.shtml, 8 seeds actually have a winning record against 4 and 5 seeds if they can get past the #1, which happens about 20% of the time.

I had the same impression. I hadn't really noticed the refs until the last few minutes. It seemed to me like SDSU was getting away with a ton of hard hand checking once they started putting the heavy pressure on. It was very physical, but the Ags adjusted to it eventually.

I took my daughter to a soccer camp at Dixie today. According to the coach, they are definitely moving to the WAC in 2020.

Just weighing in because I think this is an awesome debate. While I understand your point Android, I don't think it's unreasonable to call athletes and coaches mercenaries. War imagery and terminology is used abundantly in all levels of athletics without regard to the actual underlying meaning. Very...

I had the same situation a couple of years ago, although it was my wife's nephew so I didn't really have much of a relationship with the kid. I was planning to pretend to cheer for him if he made a good play, but not that deep down I wanted them to lose every game. Unfortunately for him he injured h...

You're right the double teaming did play into it, but it seems like they had a lot of open looks even when we weren't doubling Haas. I just expected that with our athleticism we should be able to close out better than we did.

It's amazing how dangerous blind cords can be. This isn't an infrequent occurrence. Hoping and praying for the best for her and the family.

I have no idea if it was a conspiracy or not, but a tightly called game is going to favor Purdue. When you're undersized in the post, especially against a guy as skilled as Haas, the only way to give yourself a chance is physicality. You have to be able to try and push him off of his spots and get i...

Awesome. Thanks!

I posted a couple of months back after seeing him play live. I'm also in the camp that he's getting too much hate here. As I said then, I'll be surprised if the kid turns out to be a star, but he has some skill around the basket. He's more athletic than he looks. He was also being double (or triple)...

Rather have a strong 6'8" player with no post moves or 3 pt shot, who only scores on layups, put backs, and dunks, gets off the floor high and quick, rebounds hard, and plays d, than a 6'11" player with good post moves, lacking in quickness, gets pushed around underneath, and can't get off the floo...

Went down to Snow last night to visit my son and went to the game against USU-E. I'll agree with other opinions given here that there was a lot to like about Koelliker, but he's not a MW level player. He isn't athletic enough. Took about a million threes and I don't know if he made any. I can see wh...

As pointed out by Geo-Aggie in another thread, there is probably a better than 50/50 chance that the Big-12 can't fill their Cactus Bowl slot, thereby opening up another slot for the MW.

What's with the venom? Delete the post? Whether you like how the question was framed or not, isn't this a little over the top?

I used to work with this kid's dad. He is close to a 7-footer and his mom is well over 6-feet. I have no idea if he has Marfan or not, but just like his sister, he has crazy height in his genes. I don't remember for sure, but I think his parents both played college ball as well. That being said if B...

Utah County. I have seven children who play soccer on fall Saturdays through the end of October. As much as I love the Aggies I love my children more.

And I for one, am happy to consider those legit reasons if they are actually expressed.

You're right SSS, I'm probably not doing a great job explaining my point. While the team 3-pt shooting accuracy has been pretty consistent, the method of getting to that percentage has been very different. From 2000-2008, the team largely depended on one high-volume shooter (Tony Brown and JC) with ...

It's a two-way street. If the inside threat isn't there, which it hasn't been since Tai Wesley, then the defenders never need to collapse off of the shooter. We had about six straight years of having a consistent inside scoring threat ending with Wesley where the need for more shooters as a complim...

My memory is starting to go in my old age, but I seem to remember a few years ago there was a major debate on this board about the need for Stew to bring in more and better 3-pt. shooters because we didn't have any (Newbold, Pooh, etc.). IIRC, Medlin, Butterfield, Roland, etc. were all results of th...

34 out of the top 50 players on the ranking are 6'3" or shorter.

FCS schools are the only ones that will agree to play one-off games on the road. That offsets our one-off money games. SB is trying to make sure we have six home games every year and that's the only way to do it if we play money games.

This guy has been ripping BYU's former O-Line coach for a while now, but he's really at it today, saying their line was soft last year and the coaching was terrible. Isn't that Mark Weber, our new O-Line coach? I don't know if this guy knows what he's talking about yet, but just thought I'd throw it...

Thanks for the memory. Funny, I never noticed before what may have been the most egregious uncalled moving screen in basketball history set by the Mailman. I guess I can lose some of the angst over "The Shove."

So, at what point should the whistle be blown? After 6 seconds or 10? If you were playing a full court press and caused the other team to violate the 10-second rule you're telling me you wouldn't want the referee to call it? That is the equivalent of what happened on that play. Haws got the ball and...

After reviewing the last minute of the game, a few observations: NOBODY blocked out on Davies' shot with 30+ seconds left. Every single player made a beeline straight for the hoop. They didn't block out Davies and more importantly nobody even made an attempt to account for Haws. It definitely should...

It's crazy how many times during a game (not just this game), I'll ask myself what the hell Shaw is doing on defense. I almost hate to see the 3-2 zone because it seems like he's out of position constantly and we give up a lot of easy baskets because of it. On the other hand, I thought he got a raw ...

BigEZ43

The team may be better now than in December, but is that because Reed and Medlin aren't there or in spite of it? I wouldn't have minded seeing Medlin try to knock down some threes in the first half.

BigEZ43

In addition to the free throws and turnovers, our inability to hit a three, especially in the first half, made things pretty tough. They packed it in on Shaw and dared us to hit threes and we couldn't do it.

BigEZ43

I'm not trying to start a thread about the refs, but I just want to get some opinions. I was at the game and sitting about as far away from our offensive end in the second half as possible, so I want to know if what I was seeing was actually happening. It looked to me like we were getting mugged pra...

If this happens I will be happy for USU, but won't be able to help laughing at the ridiculousness of the entire situation. BYU spearheads the secret airport meeting because of its desire to stay affiliated with UW, CSU and AFA, leaves the conference to go independent, then comes back in a division t...
