      There were times when we were a bad loss. That didn't stop us from complaining.
      Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.

        yes. If you and one or two others keep saying this, Gregg and others who do the scheduling will probably lose their mind and begin scheduling Valley teams because they feel so sorry for them forgetting about they underspent, scheduled Krappy teams because they wanted to win, and forget their attitudes that WSU can just "suck it" because we were almost the only team investing money in our program and caring if we had an at large NCAA resume. (Sarcasm intended)

          For some odd reason I truly believe that our basketball schedule will reflect the needs of the basketball program and its needs. Whether that team comes from the mvc or other conferences. Probably way out on a limb but thats just me.

            Exactly. Well-stated.

              Very well said! I hope that after a year or two, and a change in players at WSU, that we do two home and homes against MVC teams annually.

                  They owed Loyola a game from BracketBusters.

                      We could have a game against an MVC team this year.

                      WSU is possibly a 3 or 4 seed. The Valley's auto-bid is likely to be a 13 or 14 seed. The Selection Committee could set up a WSU/MVC game.
                      The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
                      We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                        No more than one every year. Any more looks like we can't let go.
                        Why walk somebody in baseball when you can hit them?

                          And even if the MVC autobid was higher, I wouldn't put monkeying with WSU's seed to get that matchup past the selection committee.

                            I'm just wondering, how many of you are planning to buy a new Skocker tee shirt tomorrow, hopefully a shirt sporting an American logo?

                            How many of you are planning on wearing it wherever you go? Even if you spill nacho cheese sauce on it.
                            There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

                              And I'm talking that cheap nacho cheese sauce that has imitation peppers in it and can't be cleaned. Worse than movie theater nacho sauce, the stuff you really love, but tell everyone you hate, just because you would be embarrassed if anyone knew you loved it.

                              The stuff that stains worse than Chef Boyardee Mini Ravioli.

                              Oh, you know you love the mini ravioli, too!

                                Pro-tip: Mixing the two sounds like a terrible idea.

                                It isn't.
