Re: Stu Strikes Again!
I guess I don't mind yoteforever.
I don't think USD would mind making it to the NCAA Tourney in their 1st year in volleyball. How about making it to the 2nd round of the tourney in soccer?
"major budget issues"? Like you said everybody has budget issues but if SDSU's are so bad, they would be trying to cut costs. They would schedule games like USD in football because of travel costs. I guess the people "in the know" don't think it's that serious to schedule close games. They haven't scheduled 2 "money games" either. I think as long as USD isn't looking at the playoffs, why not make the money. Hopefully now that USD has their money games, their football team doesn't have to take those long bus trips. I know that was just a transition thing but it was bad.
For the newspaper- Terry does a great job for the newspaper. Stu just wants the teams to play and he lobbies for what he wants. Terry writes the articles and Stu stirs the pot. They both do their jobs well.
I think last year, USD could have played SDSU tough in Men's basketball. Getting Smith back helps but USD lost too much. If USD played at home, it could be a close game but on the road or neutral site SDSU wins. I'm not saying USD couldn't win at SDSU. Even teams like Michigan lose to App. State but SDSU should win 90% at home and probably 60% at USD(my opinion). I guess this year we won't know. I think SDSU might win AT Cal-Poly(back to football). We'll see if I'm right. USD's schedules will be much tougher this year. Playing higher caliber teams night after night/week after week, will be tougher. We'll see how USD responds.
I wouldn't mind USD playing SDSU in football in 2010. After that, see if they fit in again or just move on. USD will schedule other MVC teams because of the short travel. Will USD always give a 2 for 1?
P.S. The Admin won't be happy unless it's a sellout. The attendance is better in most sports except for men's basketball. Even the SDSU/NDSU football game where people were standing 3 deep doesn't satisfy them.
