I didn’t have SLB engaging in xenophobia on my BINGO card today, but here we are. Then you don't make it to the Sandbox enough—it's practically a daily occurrence. That having been said, SLB's opinion here is valid. I don't agree with it at all, but there's relevant national considerations in prote...

It means: Self important people sucking up to Euro trash aren't worth listening to.

I must have missed the post re: the Euro trash that you refer to. Do you care to explain?

Citizenship should be a requirement. Rewarding American citizens should be a thing. Take this xenophobic hate to the sandbox. What a mess you are.

https://apple.news/AAT3VwOsUQdeqS4UjFfloHQ This is a link that addresses this issue. It’s a story about Purdue’s Zach Edey’s inability to profit from NIL because he is Canadian. As I understand it foreign players cannot earn NIL $ while playing on US soil. I don’t know how or if this impacts Great’s...

If the going rate for a MW starter is really $100k, then I feel like we should definitely be able to keep a guy like Uduje around if he likes it here. The article with Eric Laub from last week sure suggested we could afford a MW starter level NIL "salary." I'd be surprised if Josh had a better offe...

I wish them both well regardless of where they end up. I hope for support from USU fans for these kids. It hurts, but they're good kids and deserve the best I can give them. Just out of curiosity, why should these athletes be given any more of a congratulations or well wishes than a regular student...

Is this money just handed to the kids with nothing in return other than playing ball? That seems like the wrong lesson to teach. If I was going to contribute to an NIL, I would ask for some help landscaping around the yard, cleaning windows and gutters, cleaning bathrooms/ kitchen, washing cars, ru...

A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that story was filed at 1 PM today

This is looney tunes! Perhaps some are more interested in being first than being right.

For those upset about a non-sexy vanilla hire I’ll say this — I’m ready for some stability to come to this program as we are now on our fourth coach since Smith left four years ago. The coaches at SDS, CSU, BSU and Nevada are decidedly not sexy either.

I'm hearing it is a done deal. $4M per. We'll wait to see if my source is correct. Nothing is leaked or official yet So you heard it is a done deal, but nothing is official yet. Don't those two things contradict each other? Not necessarily. I think it means it's done and agreed to behind the scenes...

For what it's worth (take that for what it's worth), I'm not hearing this. That doesn't mean we're not losing Sprinkles at the end of this season though. I'm always suspicious of this kind of stuff getting "leaked" right before a big game/tournament, etc.; it's almost like it's meant to hurt us. An...

Sooner or later the ones providing the NIL will actually want a return on their investment, or penalty fees for those jumping the fence. Return on investment? There is no return on the investment. NIL and collectives are simply a means of renting a player for a year depending on the agreement. They...

Do I think the Aggies and the MWC got screwed on their seedings? Absolutely. But at the end of the day do you know who is the best at placing teams where they should be seeded in the grand pecking order of things? The NCAA Committee? Nope. TeamRankngs? Nope Lunardi? Nope Ken Pom? Nope The NET? Nope ...

utaggies

I would also point out that Smith and Odom were found using a hiring firm. Jerry Bovee found Sprinkle all by himself. Who knows what Sabau will want to do? hopefully find us a GOOD coach WHO WANT'S TO BE HERE and STAY HERE! That would be cool. In other words hire a coach that will have modest succe...

The Aztecs took a page out of our playbook and scored 4 points over the last 7 minutes of the game.

Shula having quite the game 10-11 and 23 points Bairstow 6-13 and 13 points VCU could be a first round opponent should they hold on and win tomorrow. Can you imagine the meltdown if we play them and lose in first round. 🤬 Also how about all the former aggies playing this year. Zapala Rylan Shula Ba...

Don't know about that, but this whole NET thing is lousy with ad hoc stink. Agreed. The NET is bogus this season. I feel that the NCAA tournament will show that. The NET is a computer model with certain weighted metrics. To my knowledge it wasn’t tweaked this year over last year to induce any bias....

There have to be 4 or 5 thousand New Mexico fans here. It seems like they fill half the stadium. So impressive.
I am envious. They also don’t have much to do in ABQ so I don’t blame them.

I’ve never ever heard the same said about Logan.

One small detail that keeps getting lost in this mess. NILs are not run or organized by the AD or the University admin. They are wholly separate and run by boosters and those with a rooting interest in a particular University. As it exists now, donor-fueled NIL collectives must run independently an...

Right now in the NCAA bracket matrix, USU is a 7 seed, but right on the cusp of being a 6 seed. I actually think if we can beat Wyoming & then SDSU, we would become a potential 5 seed in the tournament. Assuming Nevada moves up 1 spot in the NET, we would then become only the 5th team in the entire...

This late in the season the results of a single game is not going to have a tremendous effect on NET movement. RUTS certainly has an effect. But here’s the secret sauce to the NET recipe: beat the spread and move up; fail to cover the spread and move down. The Aggies were a 3.5 point favorite last n...

I am so weary of the drama. If Sprinkle does depart USU wil have had 6 coaches during the time Leon Rice has been the HC at BSU. The notion that it’s possible to pick up the pieces every two to three years is fiction. Continuity is the hallmark of a great program not constant turnover. And even that...

One thing that Washington should look at as a red flag is that if Danny is willing to mentally check out of USU and negotiate with Washington in season with alot of ball left to play, he would be just as willing to do the SAME THING to them when a job more prestigious than them, like Kansas, Kentuc...

Gotta enjoy the good years while they're here. Go to the conference tournament, go to the NCAA 's, have fun while we're alive. Hopefully the AD can wisely use the buyout money. We'll see how good Sabau is at hiring Agreed — what sucks the most is the timing of this news leaking. If we end up losing...

Where should we take from the football budget? What gets cut? We don’t cut anywhere, we double or triple the student fees to 90 dollars a semester instead of 30. We have the University make a guarantee that they will get our budget in the range of the top 3rd in the conference. Those two things, wi...

Speaking of OOC. Hopefully coaching staff and key players come back and we can have a much better OOC schedule with exempt tournament and probably have to be neutral site games I hope next year we do better than this year re: returning players.

@ cdAg,

@ AggieFBObsession, I mostly agree with what you say. It’s been a great ride this year. Sprinkle will get the conference COTY award and could also earn the national award. FYI. The #1 seed in the Big 10 tourney has won it 40% of the time -/ the most of any seed. If the Aggies are to win the MWC tour...

It’s no wonder our NET is sliding south. With the exception of the SDS game our recent play has been mediocre. We have been unable to cover the point spread. For the presumptive winner of the conference crown we sure don’t look the part. However, I am pleased that Martinez broke out of his funk. Un...

If we somehow end up “tied” with boise at the end of all this. Can anyone actually say that it is a “shared title” since we beat them twice? I know we won’t, but others will. Yes, others (including the conference will. And that’s what the record books will show until the end of time. There is no 1A...

When a team is in first place, they get the best shot EVERY team has to offer. We get lots of attention, and we keep answering the bell.
