Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Just 28 names to become familiar with for the two major sports in season , men's and women's basketball. Don't try to make it rocket science.

You're completely right.

Go over the rosters, sure. Have every player and their issues memorized ready to rattle off?

No doubt we are a spoiled bunch after TV and his devotion.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

On the Jackrabbit Insider last night I believe Tyler Merriam said that Stuart is done with basketball and is focusing on graduation and beginning her career.

This is correct. AJ talked about it in last weeks coaches show. She saved the classes that take a lot of time until her last year assuming she would be done with basketball. She didn't feel like she could complete the classes and perform in basketball at a high level.

He also said that Gabby's future will be determined soon.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Don't know as I'd count on being lucky enough to expect (to hope) no one asks anything about players currently playing their sport of the school I'm supposed to know about (at least the rosters anyway)in a live chat forum.I would think I'd want to be a little better prepared than that.....but that's just the way I'd approach a new job. I don't expect a lot from him yet, but 3 wks should be plenty of time to go over the mens and womens basketball teams rosters a few times. Heaven forbid for someone to have a few expectations from someone, that are reasonable expectations in my opinion, without someone crying foul. I hope he succeeds in taking over for Terry, I never wish for anyone's failure, just would like to see a little more effort is all.

How many on the Augie or USF roster can you name? Damn!! NONE. I am sure Zim will do better in the next chat. No doubt the guy has a full plate. TV did a very good job keeping a pulse on everything at SDSU. It's hard to pick up where some one left off.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

I think its a little unfair to expect him to be up and running with complete knowledge of the ins and outs of the program after 3 weeks in. Especially when he's covering 3 schools and its something as inane as medical redshirt questions about two players that were hurt well before he came on.
I'm sitting back and waiting to see what the Argus does. If they keep Matt on the combined SDSU/USF/Augie beat I will be cancelling my subscription as there will be less than 15 articles on SDSU in a month so no need to pay for the extra access.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

I know what you are talking about as I was the person who asked the question. I was surprised that he didn't seem to have a clue. I thought about trying to explain but didn't think it was worth the effort since he wouldn't have had an answer anyway.

I was a little disappointed too, that he didn't try and familiarize himself with the rosters at least of the sports that are being played (winter sports).

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

MZ has a few things to learn yet, when doing his chats, like our WBB team roster.

This question was asked "Hearing anything if Boever or Stuart will use the medical hardship option and come back next year ?"
His answer was "That went way over my head as the new guy. Anyone can chime in on that one."

Fair enough for now,but this comes under the heading "know your beat" in the near future.

Had I been participating in the chat, I'd of helped him out and told him who they were, as it was, no one did....wonder if he still doesn't know who they are.

Willing to give Zimmer a chance. Not his fault he has to juggle several duties.

I wish he would move his weekly on-line chat to the 2:00 Thursday time slot TV had. I didn't realize Zimmer did his on Tuesdays until I happened to see a tweet that he was going live. I joined in for awhile , but it was mostly NSIC and Augie fans , with a few Jacks fans there.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

I just picked up a rare print copy and Tom Savage did the Augie-USF games. My bad. The Argus wasted a bunch of print on the glory days of Augie basketball which where few and far between. Also noticed Zimmer did a good job on the wrestling story.

Apparently I don't know how to read, because I did not notice that MZ didn't write the two Augie articles. Agree that both SDSU articles were great.

No it was going on at the same time and Zim stayed for the wrestling match.
