Re: 2014-2015 & Future Rosters
For the record:
1. I do not think mmiller_34 is an unreliable poster...he has proved to be a valuable member of this board.
2. My response was also intended to be in a lighter vein but I think I missed the mark.
My bottom line: I like the attribution rule.

Re: 2014-2015 & Future Rosters
Originally posted by JackJD View PostOkay, I'll play along (but just a little). I conclude that due to the timing of the message, the nature of the message (e.g. totally off topic etc.) that mmiller_34 is simply making crap up to try to make a point that attributing something to a person is not proof that the attributed statement is true. In other words: mmiller_34 is violating various other rules on the board which were intended to have reasonable discourse on SDSU athletics and related. It's easy to now conclude that mmiller_34 is not a reliable poster* and wants to jab at the bartenders (all of whom are very well paid to keep track of and limit the efforts of idiots). So, let's do this: mmiller_34, this is a warning. Don't push it.
There. Happy now?

We want to try to avoid causing harm through false innuendo about SDSU athletes and I have to believe that all of the regular posters on this board, whether they agree with the attribution rule or not, agree that we do not want to cause harm to SDSU athletes by spreading false information.

Re: 2014-2015 & Future Rosters
I just text messaged a friend who knows Doug Elgin, the commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference. He Facebook messaged me back and told me that all MVFC Summit teams are merging with the MVC. Oh, also, once this happens the MVC will begin sponsoring FBS football (Just in time for the new stadium to be finished). He said that Wichita State was adding football again, he said he had a reliable source from inside the Shocker athletic program.
Oh, other things too. UND will join us. Drake will add football scholarships. Bradley, Evansville, Loyola, IPFW, and IUPUI are leaving for the Horizon League. Denver back to WAC.
Also, the Big 12 is paying for all scholarship increases to FBS for some reason. The guy who facebook messaged me said he didn't really know why, but he said he thought it had something to do with wrestling.
Anyway.... take it for what its worth but... pretty solid information here.
**Edit: I almost forgot, talked to a friend of Peyton Manning the other day. Peyton has changed his mind about coming back to the NFL next season. He is becoming SDSU's QB coach, and because he is rich, he is doing it for free.
Too soon?

Originally posted by SanDakotaState View PostI get that, I'm just saying I could have said I talked to Lane or Lexi and no one would know if I did or didn't so how can you believe that? If you want to play the trust game so be it. An actual report from the school would be the most ideal.
Your characterization of reliance on such attribution as a "trust game" is unfortunate. If someone was playing a "game" then, again, the moderators have a quick and easy remedy.
filbert's rule on attribution is a reasonable rule and helps keep this board a little more sane and reliable than some message boards.

Re: Future Roster
Has anyone seen Jessica Mieras play enough to make an educated guess if she could play the 4 in the Jacks system ? Having only seen highlights on the 10:00 news , I would wonder if she is mobile enough to play out at the top of the key where AJ likes to have the 4 play from. She looks like she may be more of a low post player.

Originally posted by SanDakotaState View PostOKAY, so you can believe that he actually talked to Lane and Lexi and confirmed that both are leaving? Anyone can just say they talked to someone. IMO, that is just as bad as not stating a source. How about waiting for documentation? This same thing happened when a Yote poster said Hansen got hired by USD, but it wasn't released yet.

She's a good player. I've got to think it's something other than playing time.
Severyn, I could see. She is crazy kinds of athletic, but really never seemed to be able to put it all together. I'm sure seeing younger girls come in and contribute right away took away some confidence.
I wish them both well.
Now if she does leave, that's her decisions but you can't say she never seemed to be able to put it together when she is a true freshman. That's ridiculous.

Re: 2014-2015 & Future Rosters
I just talked to Lexi Alexander. Chynna is going to leave as well. She is interested in playing elsewhere. However, the reason for her leaving is unknown.
