Very very very rarely do they give out full rides. Maybe the top 10 recruits in a given year will get a full ride for 5 years.

Hawaii is a bit of a different situation. FAU would still get a decent amount of fans in St Pete. Hawaii's only close option is... Hawaii

I get FAU fans being a little bummed. Imagine if there was a Rubber Bowl (heh) that we were placed in. Just wouldn't really have the same feel playing in the same place. Let's hope the FAU players aren't up for it either

The MAC traded their Camelia tie-in for a Boca spot. There wasn't a Camelia spot for Buffalo or WMU to take.

The Cure Bowl would be better than any bowl with a MAC tie-in. At the Citrus Bowl, bigger payout than any MAC bowl, decent matchup..

How can anyone dislike this guy? https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2017/11/30/lebron-james-opening-school-most-important-professional-accomplishment/909374001/

I'm hoping our depth issues aren't a problem with the pace

Conference champions /= national championship contenders. I'd love to see all conference champs in, but the best we have to hope for is a shot at one spot, in my opinion. Toledo or Akron, Fresno, North Texas, Troy would be 30 pt dogs to P5 champs and would draw peanuts in TV ratings. It's just not realistic

Oh what the heck What's PSU's best win? Ignoring the fact that OSU would be a conference champ with 11 wins, and PSU wouldn't be and would have 10 wins.. There's a simple way to tell who is better - play it on the field! It's exactly why Clemson is ranked over Auburn. OSU would have two top ten wins. I don't believe PSU has a win over a ranked team. It's really not even an argument. The argument comes down to OSU vs Bama if Wisconsin and Oklahoma go down.

My vote is an 8 team playoff - 5 P5 champs, the highest rated G5 team and 2 at larges.

The mental gymnastics to ignore the fact that OSU beat PSU are something, too.

The term "Moc" is short for "Mockingbird." Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life. http://www.gomocs.com/sports/2015/4/22/GEN_2014010154.aspx

Kostelac made some nice passes from the block

That Duvivier crossover and dish for the Sayles dunk was a thing of beauty

Saw some things I liked, and some I didn't tonight. Defense was very good in the first half, rotation was nice, crashed the boards.. second half seemed like we were a half step behind getting back. Lot of 3 on 2 fastbreaks that led to some fouls. Not sure if that's a depth thing and not much left in the tank but that needs addressed. Offensively a lot more movement than I'm used to seeing from a Zips team. A lot of cuts to the basket that we didn't recognize and make the pass for an easy basket, but that will get fixed as they gel. Utomi, man. I haven't seen another MAC game yet but I'm pretty sure no one has the talent of Utomi, Ivey and Duvivier. If the 4-8 guys can continue to develop we'll be a force in the conference, per usual. Little worried about our inside game, but I'm sure some Warriors fans were thinking that a few years ago. If we can use our speed and athleticism to impose our game and make teams adapt instead of playing someone else's game, they'll be alright.

Man if Utomi can keep developing on that inside game and banging like that, I'm not sure who in the MAC is going to slow him down, let alone stop him.

Reghi just talked about our old point guard Alex Avila. Crazy, he didn't even play baseball here and made it to the bigs

This is a fun team to watch. Movement off the ball, crashing the boards.. I'm not ready to say we're better than the typical Zips team at this point in the year, but the rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. We're going to be just fine.

Duvivier three straight triples and Cotton with a great drive to the rack. Looking good and playing some good defense

They nice

You've shifted the goal posts quite a bit now. There's a difference in wanting the conference as a whole to do well and rooting for your arch rival. That's all I'll say on it as this is a Chattanooga thread and this argument could go on for a while.

I picture no scenario in which I'm sitting at home on selection Sunday thinking "man if only Kent won more games"

Anyone happen to watch any Chattanooga hoops yet? If I remember right they played a pretty fast paced havoc-style game when they made the tourney a year or two ago. Not sure if Paris continued that or not

This is payback for the MAC bball tourney being in our backyard all these years

Because Kent being good has helped us in that regard before? You think Wichita needed anyone else to be good in the MVC to become a power? Gonzaga didn't need anyone. We sure as hell don't need Kent.
