Do I want Nevada to do well?

Post by Davpmars » March 21st, 2019, 5:01 pm

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?

Similar as you. But I’m all for that self entitled group to lose. Even against a school like Florida.

Let the Aggies carry the MWC banner. I just can't root for Mussturd.

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

Lets hope they lose so Aggies get credit for going further than this overrated Nevada team.

Absolutely yes. Makes us look better. Any other answer is emotional.

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.

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!

Each MW win equals about $55,000 for us. We are going to need some money to Pay Craig, which Hartwell is working on.

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. 😁😉

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? :)

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

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.

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.

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.

I'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.

Obviously the "conference rep narrative" doesn't dwell in the brain of Chris Murray when he's voting in the AP poll.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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. I understand your point and the end game, we just look at it differently.

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.

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.
