Yeah he wasn't making fun of the disease, just the wording.

So hard to be perfect. Even if we beat OU twice, there's a good chance we have an off night and someone gets by us. Either way, I'm seeing 1 or 2 losses at worst, which is still amazing. OU is the only team with talent near the same level as ours. Our 7-11 guys are starters on any other MAC team but OU.
-
They also have nothing to win. We should wipe the floor with every MAC team but OU.
-
So if they each lose one game, to each other, the tiebreaker is a coin flip. Nice.

Fight to the death

Sounds like more of an opportunity lost than a bad loss. Coastal Carolina was a bad loss.
-
I could guarantee that an RPI in the 20's is an at-large bid.

Residential campus vs. commuter school, courtside seats vs behind baskets, and now up top, and a few NCAA tourney wins. It's not very complex.

I was wrong to say that student attendance of 700 is "beyond sad." After having done a little research on college basketball attendance, I've seen enough to convince me that 700 is not a bad number for UA playing against a 20-point underdog. The thing that really changed my mind was seeing that Duke has had problems filling its 1,200-seat student section over the past five seasons. If Duke can't attract 1,200 students for some of its home games, then UA drawing 700+ students to see Ball State is actually pretty decent.
I do wonder what percentage of OU's average home attendance of 6,000+ are students. At the very least, UA should try to be the best in the MAC.
Not to pat myself on the back or anything..
When I benchmark student sections I think Duke and Pitt.. I wouldn't guess either of those get over 1,200 per game. -

I'd rather stay in the JAR than move to a 3800 seat arena.
Think bigger?

know what's more annoying than "hummmm?"
"whaaaaaaa"
-
I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that there isn't a chipotle or qdoba on a college campus. I wish I had the money to open one.
-
I'd wait to see the attendance before I call it a failure

It's a bobblehead, it's not like they're naming the gym after him.

St. Mary's is also a home team, according to:

ah that's what I get for relying on a post from zach

Let's try that again, only this time using the RPI:
Home:
Wichita State (17)
Belmont (30)
Indiana State (36)
Murray State (74)
Akron (75)
Oral Roberts (84)
Davidson (86)
Long Beach State (92)
Away:
Creighton (21)
Stephen F Austin (57)
North Dakota State (58)
Northwestern State (64)
Saint Mary's (77)
Detroit (80)
South Dakota State (85)
Eastern Kentucky (95)
The top home teams are much better than the road teams this year. Nobody's going to get a great match-up as a home team.
We'll probably end up with SDSU or EKU.
Saint Mary's looks like a realistic, and intriguing possibility.
-
I guess that's why there's more than one computer involved
-
So how many people are gonna show up for a Jimmal Ball bobblehead? Props to the marketing department for a good idea.
-
If anyone ever thinks Frenchy is a homer, listen to the NIU play-by-play man. yikes
-
Outrebounding them 16-6
-
Harney turning a corner?
-
OU beat Western Michigan by 2.
-
To play the what-if game.. What if Tree and Harney weren't suspended? 12-2 with wins over Ok State, Tennessee and NC State? RPI in the 30's too? Probably near the top 25 in polls. Ugh.

Zips twitter just asked for 30 retweets and they'll unveil the jerseys they're wearing. I don't know if I'll be able to post the pic from my phone, but hopefully someone else will. Gold jerseys maybe?
