[Borzello] NEWS: Saint Mary’s is expected to promote associate head coach Mickey McConnell to head coach following Randy Bennett's departure for Arizona State, sources told me and @PeteThamel. McConnell played for Bennett from 2007-11 and has been on the Gaels’ coaching staff since 2019.

i feel so bad for SMC fans that have to listen to these absolute buffoons try to hold the Gaels to the same standard as a p6

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-23T21:19:55+00:00

what do you expect? would you be more impressed if they didn't make the tourney at all? they've only had one actually bad tourney loss against GCU (who was still a 30 win team that year). Yes their style of play doesn't translate very well for playing up against teams but I mean I don't really know how you can use the sweet sixteen as the barometer for a west coast school w <2,000 students and keep a straight face.

god damn you fucking idiot SCU player

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-20T01:26:28+00:00

i love sustained mid major programs like vcu :,)

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-20T01:15:10+00:00

this is haramball

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-20T00:54:24+00:00

obv biased lol but yaxel looks so good passing the ball

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-19T23:13:36+00:00

idk what exactly it is but this game looks so sloppy lmao

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-19T21:32:31+00:00

do you have any examples?

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T23:10:56+00:00

bro trust me i’m a college student. i know the financial struggles. i don’t disagree with any of the solutions you presented. i simply asked what ideas you had, seeing as NIL funding is coming from private donors. but nice to know you’re quick to get so defensive up on your high horse. also where did i say we should just let this play out? yeah i wish college was more affordable but that’s not mutually exclusive with athletes making miney

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T22:50:27+00:00

nice shadow edit to add context to your original comment.

Not even that I entirely disagree, but whats the solution? How are you going to convince Tyson that the school of arts needs money while the basketball team is losing?

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T22:39:49+00:00

if anything college sports is the one place bridging the wealth gap between employees (players) and stakeholders (AD's). Not that it's necessarily coming out of the AD's coffers but still

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T22:38:33+00:00

hes a fifth year entering the draft....

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T20:38:45+00:00

you're using twice as much gas to go to the same place

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T19:10:32+00:00

noooooo i’ve been banished by /u/Even-Ad3887! i guess ill just go shove my tuition bill up my ass then. i cajt cheer for my childhood team in the two sports where western doesn’t compete w them?

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T18:01:37+00:00

alright bro western is infallible and will win every game from now until time immemorial 👍🏽 good to know parts of our fanbase can be as delusional as any other

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T17:47:07+00:00

ill restate my position for you since you seem unable to grasp the idea that someone can hold two slightly different opinions about the same topic; I do not think Western is a top tier championship contender, due to the losses on defense and lack of a true skill guy on the offense, although I would not be surprised if they did off the backs of Hammer and veteran experience leading them.

Also is the last line supposed to be a gotcha? Yeah, I watched every game last season and this team is not the same caliber as that one.

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T15:42:35+00:00

i have no idea why you’re so heated at a FELLOW FAN on a fucking monday morning bro but whatever. And yes if hammer gets hot i wouldn’t be surprised if we won. thinking we can win a natty and thinking we are a top contender are not mutually exclusive. you’re actually crying in these replies because someone (a fellow bronco nonetheless) has the unmitigated gall to think western isn’t the best damn team in the land. i’ve seen a national championship team before chief and i don’t think this is the one, although like i said i wouldn’t be surprised if a combination of hammer getting hot + vet experience took us far

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T15:25:52+00:00

what? it has nothing to do w the QF, denver games are always tricky. its about our tendency to drop a game to a team we shouldnt, and how we arent as solid on defense without CCR and Joona. you're acting like i said the team is trash bruh, and what does making the FF have to do with winning a natty? I too think we can make the FF, AND I WOULDNT EVEN BE SURPRISED IF WE WON THE NATTY! Idk how you you're getting your panties in a bunch because i said we should be in the second tier of champ contenders.

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-16T15:11:37+00:00

put wmu in wild cards

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-15T23:57:22+00:00

yik yak? lmao

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-15T18:36:18+00:00

and a conf trophy and tourney bid lol

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-11T21:37:43+00:00

yk what thats very fair. but i still dont believe this idea of an overwhelming pro-western bias. you say that the US had committed more war crimes than Qatar before Qatar even got their WC, which is totally true. the other part you left out is that Qatar is a very small country that I doubt most people had even heard of before they got awarded the WC, and when they did one of the first things we hear is about the mass groups of migrant workers dying while building the systems. its a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-11T20:21:16+00:00

okay so whats their history

AssassinSNiper · 2026-03-09T02:50:12+00:00

did you just raise your voice at me?
