The double OT game was during 2007-2008 season. Dials was the shooter. We played again at Dayton during the 2010-2011 season and lost by 8.

Nov 25th - @Dayton

KD's Buyout $100,000 Search Firm ($60,000) Net Gain $40,000 One of the purposes of having a contract buyout is to cover the costs of finding a replacement. Seems disingenuous to act like this cost the university.

I would guess pretty much any candidate that would have been interested a couple months ago would still be interested now assuming they didn't take another gig. It's not the norm, but it's really not that late for a coaching change. For comparison, Matta was hired on July 7th. I don't think they make the move without having a really good idea who the next guy will be.

To make the move now, it feels like they almost have to have someone in place. No way they didn't reach out candidates through back channels before firing Matta, right? They can do better than Crean.

And BYU.

Sad news. RIP Fred.

She "unretired" the following year. Saw her last year at another game, still as great as the first time I saw her. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/156613178/red-panda-krystal-niu-nba-halftime-acrobat

But you are doing the exact opposite. You are spinning for whatever reason not to include OSU. The "facts" you bring up aren't even true most of time. I already pointed out the huge flaw in the "late season loss" argument and how it isn't accurate. Maybe your reading comprehension aren't that good either.

That's not how any of this works.

No, he's not. He's arguing against Ohio State. Same as you. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm not even OSU fan, so I'll save you that reply. With five P5 conferences and only four playoff spots, playoff expansion that would have given WMU an auto bid is really the only thing that would help a school like Akron.

You've been stating that Penn State should have been ahead of Ohio State. That's an interesting way of sticking up for your alma-mater.

They fell to 6th/8th depending on what poll you want to use. Didn't have anything to do with preseason because they had already beaten highly ranked Oklahoma and Wisconsin on the road at that point. But it really doesn't matter. As I already mentioned, there were 10 0-1 loss P5 teams at that time with OSU, all of which except Alabama/OSU lost after that game. Multiple times in a number of cases. It really doesn't mean a damn thing how far you want to drop them in Week 8? because they were going to pass them regardless when those teams in front of them kept losing.

P5 teams.

OSU/UM were 2 of only 5 P5 teams at the time with 1 loss or less. They got those "labels" because of pre-season polls?
