You are correct. I don't know how I am going to do this, because I have to be up at 4:15 in the morning and on the road for an 8am meeting that is an hour and a half away. I think I am going to turn on the TV in my bedroom and watch it, then try to go right to sleep. Of course, I will probably not be able to sleep - win or lose, since I will either be excited or depressed. Won't be posting, though. I will try to make a quick post in the morning before I leave.
anyone know if Cox sports will be carrying the game tonight?
In the big picture... yes the reg season WAC title means almost nothing other then a nice trophy. I think what is more important is seeding. (From a Fresno perspective) I am I hoping that whatever happens that Tech and Nevada end up on the opposite side of the bracket (Idaho too if it's possible. They have our number and I dont want to face them if we can manage it). The Tourny is in Reno so you can unerstand wanting Nevada on the other side. I know how dangerous Tech can be too so I want see them later rather then sooner if you know what I mean, and I would expect you to feel the same way with Fresno. The best way to get what we want is to win the Reg seaosn title and get the 1 seed. If that happens I think Tech/Nevada will be 2/3. It still wont be easy because we'll have to go through a good NMSU team but I think they are the lesser of evils. So in a way the reg season title means everything to winning the WAC tourny and getting that NCAA bid.
I'll save you the trouble Champ.
Boise State (ESPNU)
@ San Jose State
@ Hawai'i
Idaho
New Mexico State
@ Utah State (27 pt win at home and it wasn't even that close)
Nevada
@ Tech
@ Boise State
San Jose State
Tommorrows game against Boise will tell a lot how we finish I think. If we handle them easily I think we will be able to beat them in Boise. I think that is the last real challenge on the Road (outside of Tech of course but since FS up 2 games... It wont matter unless someone else knocks us off). Of course we could always drop games at home but I dont see that happening.
NMSU-10 Pt win at there place. They have some good wins though so you never know...
Nevada-9 pt win at there place. The spread never went below 8 in the 2nd half after leading big in the first half.
Idaho-outscored idaho 30-11 over the last 10 minutes, but they have our number so again you dont know...
Except for Tech, that is a pretty nice schedule to have left. Your road games should be wins, if your team performs right. If we can either share or be 1/2 seeds, I will feel good going into the tournament. Tonight will tell the tale on if playing on Nevada's court will hurt us. If we lose tonight, I would MUCH rather have Nevada on Fresno's side and NMSU on Tech's. Idaho does seem to give Fresno fits, so it would be nice to have them on your side, as well.
I want to win the WAC regular season, especially for the #1 seed, but you are right - it doesn't matter so much what seed you are, it matters who is on your side of the bracket.
Right now, I just want to crush Nevada. We, hopefully, will go on a tear from here till the end. We still need to adjust some things, obviously.
The game is on ESPNU right? Will it be on ESPN360 also? Im guessing channelsurfing.net is still a go if that doesn't work?

I think who ever gets the #1 seed between UNR, FS and Tech, the other 2 will be stuck on the same bracket. I think I might be writting off NMSU but I dont see them competing well with Tech's and Nevada's size and my Bulldogs depth. (giving them another 2 Ls at least 5 total for WAC play).
anyone here? game is on about 1 minute. Flashchat>?
come on people...join flashchat.
Wow...we're sucking it up on national tv. 3 of 19 from the field? Ouch. It also hurts to hear the announcers say Lady Bulldogs... We've been out of the spotlight for too long.
Tech should pay the $1 admission price for all players since they are spectating on the defensive end and not doing much better on offense. Simply pathetic.
Playing like this on national tv may be the reason why we should stop our wbb program and just focus on mbb and football which can generate money.
This is just terrible. No fire, no O, no D - and no coaching. Sorry to say that, and it is really hard for me to say that.
