Re: The Net rankings are losing my trust

The thing that is the most bewildering is SDSU also performs poorly relative to expectations, but does so at home against a team with a worse NET than Fresno and doesn’t budge. The NET values blowout victories over q4 teams over anything else. Close wins against bad teams, even on the road are wors...

Re: Wyoming Swim Team

Not to get off topic but why doesn't USU have a swimming and diving team? I feel like it would be an easy sport to add. Is it because it's such a money pit and we just don't have the budget for it? It wasn't a Title IX decision. I'm not sure why we dropped the sport, but we definitely had one after...

Re: Net Rankings Formula Adjustment?

Desire determines outcome. Desire is a factor, but not the only factor. Injuries, fatigue, off shooting nights, a couple of bad decisions or bad calls in a close game, a bigger/stronger more talented opponent, locker room issues, luck, etc. are also factors. GIGO. I don't trust the money paid to cr...

He is certainly not super quick but in terms of fundamentals he is so good. HIs passing is amazing. Be interesting to see how his skillset transitions to the D1 level. In terms of being able to run a team he reminds of a lot of Rylan Jones.
Wasn't he a quarterback?

Re: Poll: Who do you NOT want to play?

UNLV, easy. Arguably the most talented roster in the conference, but is also the most unserious basketball team I’ve ever seen. Gets their asses kicked against Air Force and Southern to tank their rankings, but then can go into any arena and beat the top teams in the conference. Zero upside to play...

I understand what you are saying Paco, I really do. But at some point you have to remove yourself from the inner workings of the algorithms and look at things holistically.

Took a scouting trip to Pocatello with my dad to scout Haws. He was a very dangerous QB for Weber the High School as well as arguably the best high school basketball player in Utah in the class of '71, well ahead of Fat Ray Thompson and Mark Tenhoeve.
