Do I want Nevada to do well?
Do I want Nevada to do well?
I am watching the Nevada game and I find myself confused about who I root for. I hope Nevada wins because it looks good for the Mountain West and for us. I hope Nevada loses because they’re a bunch of dicks, especially their coach.
How do you all feel?

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Similar as you. But I’m all for that self entitled group to lose. Even against a school like Florida.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Yes. It's good for the conference and for us long term, perception etc. I'm putting the other stuff aside and rooting for them to do well with us
Plus I'm sure Florida has some jackasses of their own, especially the fanbase

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
I just had the exact same set of thoughts run through my head.
Pros: Good for the conference. I actually like Tre'Shawn Thurman and Jazz Johnson.
Cons: I despise that coaching staff and most of the players. The way that they handled the Spectrum Magic was just deplorable and spoke to a serious lack of integrity.
Conclusion: I hate them and want them to lose.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Even though I can't stand Nevada I want them to do well in the tournament. It will definitely help the conference and help us for seeding next year. Can you agine what that will do for the conference if both teams do well in the tournament. The Nevada coach and most of their players will be gone after this year!
But most importantly go Aggies!

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Not a question at all for me, I hope they get their collective asses kicked. I doesn't do anything for us at this point. Next year seeding and all that will be taken care of by us and how we do. After the lies from that coach and his wife and the garbage from the"great kid", they can go to hell. But I'm not bitter or anything.
Go Aggies!

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Here's a nice little (although somewhat dated) Washington Post piece on the payouts: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics ... edirect=on
Though by this logic, I'm guessing that we were all cheering for SDSU in the MW championship?

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Also if you root for them to win, you will be happy either outcome since you get to see Muss and Caroline cry if they lose

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Maybe next year I'll feel differently. As for this year, the reputation of my school, me as a fan and the state of Utah, is more important to me than $55k.mwburn wrote: ↑March 21st, 2019, 5:40 pmAll the bad (or most) is gone next year.918AGG wrote:I just had the exact same set of thoughts run through my head.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Winning the WAC every year never got us better than an 11 seed. We need the MW to be strong so we have better opportunities. Otherwise, we are right back in the WAC.USUfreak11 wrote: ↑March 21st, 2019, 5:42 pmWon't be needed if we can win the conference every year.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
I've just never gotten as worked up over the incident by the locker rooms as a lot of folks here have. If some individuals on their team (even several individuals) have issues I'm not ready to paint the whole program and fanbase based on that. Even any negative talk coming from Nevada fans was coming from a place of high emotion on their part. I'd prefer to consider Nevada a peer institution and support them as a conference-mate.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
I'm glad you're in that place BBD, I'm obviously not. But I will say, it's not about their fans or their program for me, it's this team and this coach. Honestly, after all the 12th year seniors are gone this year and no shirt guy leaves, I'll cheer for them in the tourney again. Not this year.BigBlueDart wrote: ↑March 21st, 2019, 5:47 pmI've just never gotten as worked up over the incident by the locker rooms as a lot of folks here have.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
And what conference would that be? It won't be the PAC12, the U would never allow it. We don't fit in geographically with the Big 12, or any of the other conferences. SDSU and UNM didn't have the any other power conferences banging on their door when they were dominating in basketball. The MW is our best shot at success, and unfortunately that requires our conference mates to do well. Hoping for a spot in a Power Conference is a pipe dream.USUfreak11 wrote: ↑March 21st, 2019, 5:49 pmI'd rather us win the conference and look the best in it so we can be the first to move out to a better conference.NAggsty Butler wrote: ↑March 21st, 2019, 5:46 pmWinning the WAC every year never got us better than an 11 seed.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
We can only hope that Utah gets kicked out then. MW will always be the underdogs no matter how well everybody does.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
I don’t think Caroline is necessarily a bad guy and if that’s all that happened, I would have felt the same as you. But they took really no responsibility and Musselmann’s wife tweeting that our students were chanting the N-word at their players pushed the whole thing over the edge for me. That’s just reprehensible. They handled it horribly. I won’t shed any tears if they lose every game while Musselman is still there...BigBlueDart wrote: ↑March 21st, 2019, 5:47 pmI've just never gotten as worked up over the incident by the locker rooms as a lot of folks here have.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
People thinking PAC-12 vs MWC need to shift their mentality. You need to be thinking MWC > PAC-12, and replacing them as the goal.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
This is sports, there is always emotion. That's why we like it. I don't want to get into a long drawn out discussion about this, I'm tired of talking about them.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Nevada is falling apart. They are exposing their biggest problem the entire season. They rely on one on one match ups and have given up on team ball. I think they are a good team with more talent than most teams in the tournament, they have just gone down hill at the end of the season and have gotten selfish.

Re: Do I want Nevada to do well?
Nevada looks terrible. We broke their confidence and spirit in Logan. They thought they were just entitled to everything. Getting run now. Way to show up, Musselman.
