Sports, Catholic, Girl Dad, Wyoming proud. I seek the simple life & live by the motto go first class or don't go at all. Views expressed are my own. Go Pokes!
Wyoming coach Sundance Wicks on why his teams will never opt out of a postseason opportunity:
“We will always accept an invitation to the National Invitation Tournament. If we don't ever get an NCAA automatic qualifier bid or an at large bid in March Madness, we'll always accept this, because it is our civic duty as basketball coaches of basketball players to normalize playing basketball as long as you can, because that's what we get paid to do nowadays. This is our job.
“My wife can't just wake up someday and be like, ‘You know what? I'm gonna opt out of teaching today.’ This is what we need to normalize, and this (NIT) field is outstanding. It is like Mid-Major Madness, and I love it. Kudos to Auburn for accepting the bid. That's outstanding.”
Not only did SDSU not get in or New Mexico but where Utah St got seeded shows me there are so many on committee who must understand analytic numbers and predictives and don’t watch enough games. Clearly there are hard decisions but only one MW team this year is ridiculous
NEWS: The Big 12 will be transitioning to a hardwood court for the remainder of the Big 12 tournament. The LED glass basketball court has been greeted with mixed reviews, including feedback that it is slippery.
PAC media deal “a little lean”.
New Utah State AD Walker stated that while the Aggies will not move backwards in their media distribution from the new PAC, the money is not what they had expected.
His quote is a kind way of saying - yeah, this isn’t what we thought it would be.
Standing in Chick-fil-A and am absolutely floored at the amount of people ordering DoorDash. Drivers have poured in picking up dozens of orders in the 5 minutes I’ve been here.
I for one couldn’t stomach paying the extra fees and tip for the driver only for my food to show up completely cold. This is just not worth the convenience. Make it make sense.
