I was curious to see how Nate Johnson is doing this year and I must say it's better than I would've expected. Obviously we'll see how things go when they get into conference play, but so far he's started all 7 games and is averaging 13.6 points, 6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/nate-johnson/12756

Very much appreciate the corrections! i struggled to research the 1986 final using only my phone. I remember listening to the match on the radio. Memories fade. Did you find this information in archived media guides? Or were you in attendance? OR were you a participant?

This is why I don't see Joe as an actual candidate for any of the HC jobs that are open.

Tom Stone scored the goal and Kerr won the Herman that year. Lolla played at Duke but already graduated prior to 86.

Miami down 8 at the half against 1-6 UNCG.

Also this is sweet from the where I’m from store $63, cheaper than most hoodies in the bookstore/team shop

Yes, the only jobs he should be a serious candidate for would be OC as that's the only position he has had measurable success at. It would be hard for UConn, or anyone, to sell him to their fans or boosters as a serious candidate. They aren't going to care to hear about what limitations he might have experienced at Akron. They will just see his record.

I haven’t been in a little bit but fan outfitters at the summit mall has expanded their zips collection. Mostly all the stuff you’d see online thru the fanatics universe in a store. I’ll upload pictures if I can’t figure out how to make them smaller files

If you hire the Akron coach after never having a winning season, you shouldn't be AD at a school like UCONN. We have begun the point of the office season when people in the media throw out names in an effort to look smart when coaching opportunities arise. If they throw out 20 names and one hits, they can tell everyone how smart they are.

They are 0-4 in road games this year with all 4 games being double digit loses. Mostly all solid teams, so not completely unexpected, but we should roll in this one.

Technically, NO league has an auto-bid. It's the top five ranked conference champions that get a bid. Obviously, the B1G, SEC, B12 are 100% of the time always going to get there. The ACC usually, too, but that's more tenuous than they'd like. Then that leaves one for the top ranked G5 conference champ, which I think happens much more often than the PAC would like, will be the AAC.

Are we sure? My understanding was the league had a two-year window to rebuild the conference and keep its seat at the table. From everything I remember, they’ve technically met that requirement. But things change so fast that I’m not certain. If someone wants to dig into the details and either confirm or correct that, I’d love to hear it.

The PAC is not going to get an auto-bid. The AAC is in the driver's seat for that G5 bid every year IMO. But an 11-1 PAC champ would have a good argument.

I haven’t followed UConn all that closely, but I do remember Mora being under the impression they’d end up in a power conference and that UConn had some sort of inside track on the Big 12. Fast forward a few years and they’re still independent. If I’m not mistaken, Colorado State is joining the new PAC, which I believe gets an auto-bid to the playoffs despite looking only marginally better than the current MWC. As for Moorhead, I’ve spent the last few offseasons shooting down the idea of him leaving. This year, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he did. I imagine the next seven (?) weeks of fundraising will factor heavily into that decision. I still think he wants another shot at the power-conference level, and UConn — or possibly other G5 openings with better resources — could be viewed as chances to rebuild the résumé and set up a bigger move down the line.

I’m seeing snow warnings for the Thanksgiving holiday. All of Wisconsin and NE Ohio are likely to be affected at some point. I hope they are paying attention and plan accordingly. I need another game badly.

The biggest thing for Joe will be to triple his pay in a "well Akron was hopeless too so who cares."

If the NCAA really cared, they would force bigger schools to pay restitution or kickbacks for poaching players. Something like 15-25% of the NIL deal paid back to the former school. Not a lot, but it's better than nothing and would provide resources to replace outgoing athletes.

Why would Mora take this Job? That is a lateral move at best(From a Coaching Standpoint). My second question is why would Moorhead take the UConn job? Let's be real, going to UConn is like what Kansas was in for years: A Coaching Death Sentence......

Is this the real Clark, or ClarkGPT?

Me at the Thanksgiving table praying for UConn to hire JoeMo.

I can't get a real feel for Milwaukee. Their losses other than Wofford are to solid programs and Wofford is okay

Adams was great in 2022 but never the same after that.

I'm gonna sue!
