Only mildly related but UNLV is also in the NIT quarterfinals tonight. Go Running Rebs!
I haven't paid attention. Do we get any payout from University of Never Left Vegas being in the NIT, similar to NCAA credits?

Re: Smith vs Odom

My preference would be for fire to rain down from heaven and consume them both. That, or a sandstorm that lasts for a year... In lieu of that, I have to go with VCU. They're 3/4 of a continent away, and largely irrelevant to USU. Anything that lowers the standing of the U is a good thing.

Re: MWC Schools

Ultimately there will only be two Power Conferences left standing, the Big10 and the SEC, and it will likely exist as a FB only structure with 32 teams in two e/w divisions with two n/s pods, just like the NFL. Boise jumping to another conference isn't likely as the left overs from the B10/SEC merg...

Re: More conference changes coming? maybe

The era of growth by addition is almost over. It probably ends when Florida State, and either Notre Dame or Clemson joins the SEC to round out a twenty team conference. After that, the best way to increase per member revenue is growth by subtraction, throwing the low performers overboard. As the art...

Re: Mountain Lion sighting on campus this morning (Aggie alert)

The problem is the deer. Mountain lions go where the deer are. Twenty-five years ago, I remember hearing that there was a permanent herd of about 300 deer in Logan. They can jump a 6' fence. The interiors of most of the blocks in the old residential areas are fairly big, and offer lots of browse. I ...

Re: PAC 12 let their commissioner go

On paper, I like the idea of adding OSU and WSU to the conference. That would bring the total number Land Grant schools to 7 in a 14 member conference. In practice, I am concerned that they would be like Boise State and San Diego State, absolutely sure that they are better than the rest of us, alway...

Look at the stat sheet. We had a better field goal percentage, better 3 point percentage, better free throw percentage on WAY fewer attempts, and more rebounds.
