The Today Show on NBC 15 minutes ago revealed its poll has the Shockers #2."I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."

Here we go... "I'm lovin' it!"
"I think in our society there is a 'stay in your lane' type mentality," Marshall said. "Maybe we are, in some peoples' eyes, getting out of our lane. Becoming more than we should. Maybe they don't like that."
"It drives Marshall crazy that his team, which hasn't lost since last year's Final Four, is still called a "mid-major."
Marshall hates that term so much he'd almost rather talk about scheduling.
"It's derogatory," Marshall said. "I've never understood 'mid-major.' In football, you don't call Boise State a mid-major.""

Originally posted by Shockeriffic View PostI'm with Coach Marshall on everything except the Boise State part. BCS football elitists absolutely call Boise State a mid-major. Even after they beat BCS teams they still get the poor schedule treatment.
In college football, every team has essentially two to three games available a year. Until this season, there was no major benefit to strong noncon schedules, and I'm not sure it's going to change with the playoff until I see it. Games are worked out years in advance in most cases. And it's easier to say "al they won was a bowl game" instead of, say, going to the Final Four.
Boise State gets screwed because losing a game basically eliminates any non-SEC team from a national title shot. And Boise has been good enough to beat anyone. I've really been wanting FSU to schedule them, and they finally did ... But the home/home series doesn't start until 2019, and who knows if Boise will still be good then. That "who knows" mentality is devastating to teams like Boise when you're scheduling a series for years down the road.Originally posted by BleacherReportFred VanVleet on Shockers' 3-Pt Shooting Confidence -- ' Honestly, I just tell these guys to let their nuts hang.'
