If it's taking this long and we still haven't signed any guards then it's a bad sign imo. I hope I'm wrong and we can land a couple nice guards. If not, we may as well forget about competing for a SB championship. We didn't even come close with Curfman and Voyles and they came to Marshall and averaged 15 and 13. Need better than that.

I don't think it was ever alive. Nothing about the phrase "Derek Dooley floating the idea reportedly with the backing of private equity" evoked any confidence.

It's just too clunky to work while the G5 still gets a bid to the real playoff. Either you have a tournament to see who's the 2nd best G5 team (yay?), or you find a way to have the best G5 team play in both tournaments (logistical nightmare).

If it ever happens, it'll probably take the P2 splitting away from the NCAA or the P4 shutting the G5 out of the real playoff entirely.

Got to attend my first baseball game Sunday.  Love the new stadium.  As a kid my mom would drop me off at the old St. Cloud stands and I'd watch a doubleheader with two bucks in my pocket for all the Coke, popcorn, and dogs I could eat!  This is amazing upgrade!  Enjoyed the burrito at the food tent along the 3rd base side.

I would have no problems buying the SRO and bringing lawn chairs.  There are a lot of spots where you can sit on a lawn chair and get as good a view as the reserved seats (if not even better).  Even if reserved seats are available, I would probably still opt for SRO.  I'm almost sure you can also find unused reserved seats that you can sit in if it's still empty after the first several innings.
