Decent listen. They knew what WSU's weakness was last year...Originally posted by WuShock Reaper View PostComment

Decent listen? I have to respectfully disagree. I listened to the Memphis and WSU breakdown before I turned it off because I couldn't take it anymore. Those 2 may have seen exactly zero WSU games last year. They were reading stats and looking at schedules. I'd take any 2 posters of this fine forum to do a 100% better job, on their first try, covering the AAC.Comment

Anything that says Memphis will be the AAC best can be thrown the in the trash. While Sampson is in Houston, there is nothing that would make me bet Penny over Houston. Penny is a good recruiter ... And good motivator .... Of the other teams. Not so much his own team. Really good whiny press conference after the fact though.Originally posted by WuShock Reaper View Post
Houston 1st to 3rd place
WSU 1st-4th place
Memphis 2nd to 4th place
One of SMU or UCF could squeak up there. (Depending on if Jank is still coaching or who they get to replace him on short notice)
Jumbled mess of the rest with ECU and USF bringing up the rear.Comment

These guys were generally ok in their predictions. We can not expect them to know as much about the Shockers as we do. I disagree on their assessment of our team ceiling level. They did say it was a "chore for the Shocks to score" last year.. But they did say the Shocks should be a tournament team. As usually they think Memphis will be great. Time will tell if that statement is true.Comment

I don't disagree that time will tell but past experience is a good teacher as well.Comment

The Russians invaded Afghanistan, there have been 3 major global wars in the last 220 years, the bubble in the market has burst several times, and some people cant stop speeding regardless of how many tickets they get. Past experience is a great teacher....but only if something is learned.Originally posted by pogo View PostComment

There are plenty of examples of history not being learned that are strictly related to athletics. In the short time I've been a member of this group, I've learned to avoid the political forums. Even the supposedly non-political covid forum is highly politicized. Afghanistan has become a political hot button.Originally posted by Wooglin View Post
Can we, please, leave political hot spots out of the sports-related forums so there can be some areas where we can politely and pleasantly disagree and discuss sport-related topics without encroaching on politics?
The post I'm quoting is fairly neutral, but Afghanistan isn't.Comment

Not sure what happened to the realignment discussion, but the PAC12 says they'll make a decision on expansion in the next week or 2.
The PAC12 expanding would light the fire again. One way or the other.

I just have a hard time believing the PAC will find the value and political/cultural combination with what we see as available options.Originally posted by WuDrWu View PostNot sure what happened to the realignment discussion, but the PAC12 says they'll make a decision on expansion in the next week or 2.
