If one of these media persons would win it's hard telling what they would try to do with the play calling but JoeMo had better let them do it or there could be some highly publicized blowback. Also, if one of them wins, people might assume it *was* rigged. Dr. G might want to put a bit of thought into how the drawing is managed.

I don't think it will be rigged but it opens up all kinds of possibilities for future ticket holder contests and celebrity in-game involvement.

I think it's already time for a separate thread for this. My questions are: 1. What are the chances the NCAA pisses on it for a team using an unauthorized coach, however benign it may be? (Maybe the AD already vetted it?) 2. Does the OC get a gameday polo/outfit to match the other coaching staff? (I would assume so) 3. How soon does another school copy this, given the attention and season ticket sales boost? 4. Is there an alternative prize or is it transferrable if the winner doesn't want the spotlight or feels unqualified to act as OC? It seems like it would make a huge difference if the "right" person wins it and the "wrong" person does not.

Glad to see they are dressing up Bulger & Spanton. The preservationists should be elated the Polsky bldg. is being rehabbed and not removed (I doubt if we'll hear from them though).

That was an easy win for us 😊I have to admit the BG falcon is good and the bull is not bad although I don't remember ever seeing it before.

It hurts my head to think about shooting 3's left handed. But if he can do it I'll take it!

My prediction is 4-8 earns JoeMo a new job.

Sounds like 5 wins by the Zips could earn you a pretty penny. I guess a lot will depend on the QB, and as it's been mentioned, most of the MAC teams lose top talent and are now constantly rebuilding, making it hard to predict, even for the 'experts'.

Are Abreu and Betancourt still playing? Could be a pretty good PRMNT.

If you're a degenerate/homer, the early line on the WF game is Zips +22.5 which I think might come down a bit later, especially if our new QB looks good in camp.

Or give all the Wagon Wheel points and trophies to the regular season champs and just let the MAC tourneys be for advancing to the NCAA tourneys.

If not Red Panda, how about :

I believe the original bonds were 20-year but they have probably been re-financed.

From page 3 (expenses) 34 Athletic facilities debt service, leases and rental fees - 45,427 (mens basketball) - - 3,669,935 ("non-program-specific") - 3,715,362 (total) Attachment A (Expense Procedures) Athletic Facility Debt Service, Leases and Rental Fees 30. Obtain a listing of debt service schedules, lease payments and rental fees for athletics facilities for the reporting year. Compare a sample of 5 facility payments including the top two highest facility payments and an additional 3 haphazardly selected payments to additional supporting documentation (e.g. debt financing agreements, leases, rental agreements). Results: We were informed by management that all payments transferred from the athletics fund to the general fund were related to debt service. They are not paid directly to the lender. The transfer amounts were agreed to the allocated debt service schedule, which was approved by the Board of Trustees.

We will be a force in D3. Looking at you, DePauw.

Div. III should be very afraid of us..

I thought Aaron was good(?)

And they will be playing on a beautiful grass pitch. And some of them in decent weather 😄

Were there 8 omitted teams ranked higher than us? Even if not, I would expect additional P5's to be given preferential seeding in the future.

Although we joke, I think this is great and fully support Canada but I wonder how many U.S. arena crowds outside of Buffalo would know the words to O Canada (or maybe they display it on the scoreboard)

per Gemini.. The official nickname for the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) women’s sports teams is the Minutewomen. While the men's teams are known as the Minutemen, the university uses the gender-specific version for its women's programs. Both share Sam the Minuteman as the official mascot and wear the school colors of maroon and white. A Brief History The transition to these names didn't happen until the early 1970s. Here is a quick look at the evolution of the UMass identity: Aggies & Statesmen: In the early 20th century, the school (then Massachusetts Agricultural College) was often referred to by these names. Redmen: From 1948 until 1972, the teams were known as the Redmen. Minutemen/Minutewomen: In 1972, following concerns regarding the previous name's impact on Native American communities, the student body voted to change the nickname. The "Minutemen" was chosen for its deep historical ties to the American Revolution and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As women's sports programs grew on campus during that same decade, they naturally adopted the title "Minutewomen."

I believe some of those cuts were 'strategic' and not strictly due to less than 5 degrees awarded per year. And some may simply be a consolidation of BA/BS options. It has the feel of creepage toward some eventual mergers of some type, Ramaswamy or not.

One could say JoeMo makes a fiscal contribution by taking less pay to be here than what his true market value is.

Bring on the Minutewomen. Zips don't back down!

I guess DF can be credited for some fundraising indirectly..
