There's an easy way to cut costs. Bite the bullet like WSU did and drop football. As much as I like football and occasionally wish WSU had it, its a tremedous drag on athletic budgets at the MVC level. If we hadn't dropped football I doubt we would be having our current level of success in basketball let alone our other successful programs.

Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day. -
But the football program is so good at Missouri State. Don't they have an open invite to the conference USA or was that the sun belt?Originally posted by WheatShock View PostComment

I would not be surprised by a bit of a let down tomorrow night after Saturday's game. In fact, I could see a very close game for the first ten minutes that sees the lead change hands more than once. We are, after all, in the late middle of the conference schedule and there has to be a bit of a drag as the team slogs through the rest of the Valley. But this is our first crack at the Bears and I just don't see our defense slipping to the point the Bears will score more than 61 points this game and that will be the difference. It will be a double digit win to keep us on par with the Birds and in preparation for the rubber match with Loyola.Comment

MSU passes on hosting MVC track meet due to expenses. WSU gets it now.
They really are having financial issues if they can't get their facilities updated in two years for an event they actively wanted to host.Comment

I would expect a bit of a let down after last Saturday and will
be taking the points. Shocks 79 - 65. Hope AR is getting
better.Comment

I expect a letdown as well. That's why I only have the Shocks winning by 28."You Don't Have to Play a Perfect Game. Your Best is Good Enough."Comment

MVC: "Hey WSU, we know you're really good at hosting league championships in your league-best facilities that actually draw fans, but we'd like to pass some of these things around to some of the other schools. Kind of a green-ribbon barnstorming tour deal if you think about it."Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostMSU passes on hosting MVC track meet due to expenses. WSU gets it now.

MVC: "Hey, yeah, so, remember how we talked about passing around some of those league championships to the other schools? Well, ha, this is gonna sound funny, but they are too low-rent to pull that off. I know, I know, I didn't see that coming either. Yeah. The thing is, we're gonna need you to do that. Oh, is it short notice? Didn't really think about that. Who's going to pay for it? Well, naturally we figured....."

Not sure why MSU was hosting anyways. They don't even field a Men's team. They only have a Women's Track and Field program.Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostMSU passes on hosting MVC track meet due to expenses. WSU gets it now.
