Re: TAMPERING

Here's a quote from Eric Laub in a Tribune Article: “The frustrating part is there are so many slimy agents and third-party people that will reach out to players that we have, both football and basketball, right now. They will say, ‘Hey, I’m not affiliated with this university. But if you come here,...

Re: Aggies22 missed twice but I still love his posts

Wow, we do have a thin-skinned group here. I'm not bashing A22. He said Pope to UW. This shirt isn't ugly. I agree with many of you that it's fluid and he presented data when he had it. It's important because it's good to know that our best source of truth isn't always 100% accurate. For those piss...

Re: NAR Pitino to Louisville

Not that I want to relish in New Mexico losing their coach, but it does make me feel slightly better about our revolving coach's door situation at USU. For a while I've been dumbfounded at how Boise, Fort Collins, ABQ, Reno can hang on to coaches for at least a couple of years, but we couldn't.

I think you misunderstood was 22 was saying. He never said Pope was going to Washington and he never said Sprinkles wasn't going to Washington. He said Pope wants out of ybu and never insinuated that Sprinkles wanted to stay in Logan. I appreciate what Aggie22 brings to the table. You know what he s...

Can't imagine a guy like that would be looking to bolt soon after getting here. I refuse to believe any coach coming here is in for the long haul. I don’t care what they...

How I look at it
Tier 1- Big Ten and SEC



Tier 4- ACC and Big 12
Tier 5 - MWC/PAC 2
Tier 6- Sun Belt and American
Tier 7- MAC and C-USA
Tier 8 and Tier 9 are basically dead conferences in the FBS with the future NIL and TV money difference.

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. It’s flat out asinine that a team like Wake jumped us in the net in a single night of play given the games that were played.
