Coach had no comment, for the show, about going to a new league. I took it that he has an opinion. On playing Morris and Grady at the same time, Grady needs to be a better 4.

Is his opinion that he wants to be in another league or that he is aware of a developing situation that is what we all want to hear?Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post
I only ask you a question so presumptuous that you would know his opinion because I know that you know...Comment

I expect that Coach is sick of the Valley. I don't think he'll be in the Valley in 2020. I hope we are out and he is still our coach.Comment

This. I love WSU and what the relationship with HCGM has led to, but I'm not stupid either.Originally posted by pinstripers View Post

It would be nice if there were 10-12 teams in WSU's predicament that decided to just make their own conference for basketball.Originally posted by Dave Stalwart View Post"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

It's interesting. I'm not totally sure what Coaches opinion is regarding conferences, but Mike Kennedy and Dave Dahl have said on numerous occasions (or at least alluded to) that there is a faction of Creighton "brass" that are unhappy that they left the Valley and are traveling as much as they do. I'm not sure exactly who they are talking about, but many evidently think they've made a mistake.Comment

Yeah, I bet Creighton is upset about all of the TV money they get from their new conference affiliation not to mention the additional revenue for NCAA tournament shares. I bet they're complaining all the way to the bank.ShockerNet is a rat infested cess pool.Comment

Cool thing about the show tonight was the whole team showed up and was eating at Deano'sComment

My understanding is that they are spending any new money on flying their softball, baseball and track/field teams, etc. to (the east coast) play Seton Hall, St. Johns, Georgetown, etc. on chartered flights in a conference that is poor in most if not all of these sports.Originally posted by Shocker-maniac View PostComment

Pretty rough going to places like Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Indianapolis instead of Terre Haute, Cedar Frostbite, etc.ShockerNet is a rat infested cess pool.Comment

I also know that they don't send as many to New York for their conference tournament. I go every year to St. Louis to the MVC tournament but I would rarely make it to Vegas, or other places farther away. It would be a better time but wouldn't fit my budget. Maybe 2K would go but not 10K.
Don't get me wrong. I would still root for the Shockers if they entered a more expensive conference but we would have a significantly smaller following.Comment

We need to do something crazy and literally eject some teams. Rather than us having to look elsewhere, this conference needs to give 5 of its schools an ultimatum and dump them if they can't make it happen. Keep the name of the conference and drop the teams that don't want to try. I know that never will happen but that's what needs to happen. Open up 3-5 spots and fill them with good teams out of the summit and horizon instead of losing creighton and filling in for them with a terrible horizon team...
I'm gonna take a break before I really start rantingComment

It's not like they didn't realize the travel issue going in. Perhaps the revenue increase hasn't quite been what they were expecting if, in fact, there is really anything to this.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostComment
