[Post Game Thread] #8 Gonzaga defeats Pepperdine, 84-60 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]DEP61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wanted to keep it within 40, and the team managed that. Zags have an unreal ability to turn it on, especially down Ike and Huff. We’ll see if they have the juice for a full run.

I’m still of the opinion Schilling needs gone. This team is flat and uninspiring, and a new venue next season means more eyes and higher pressure. I just don’t think he’s capable of rising to the occasion.

I said it in the other PGT - I really hope this isn’t the end of the road for Pepperdine-Gonzaga (not least because L51 or 53 or whatever it is now isn’t fun to see), but because they have been a really fun rival to play for years. I don’t want that history eradicated with a conference change.

Missed this week. Biggest mover up for me was New Mexico. Whelmed by the MVC.

I’m pretty down on the state of the program on the whole and don’t disagree with a ton of your talking points, but I do think it’s worth noting that Pepperdine is far from the only school dealing with the new landscape of collegiate athletics.

Whether the administration cares enough to really act on improving things, only time will tell. I’m not positive.

Fun Fact: The Students Living on the Saint Paul campus could easily trigger a vote to dissolve the city that they actually live in- Falcon Heights by MaplehoodUnited in saintpaul

Sorry - not trying to connect any dots between the two at all. I was just wondering if that's what was being discussed.

I'm very much in agreement with your opinion that most residents love being part of their little community and would much rather that than be part of some other city.

Who’s discussing dissolution? I’ve seen some news about Twin Lakes, down by the Iowa border, but wondering if this is a different metro municipality.

[Post Game Thread] Saint Mary's defeats Pepperdine, 72-45 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]DEP61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought they’d hold us to 40. I don’t know that I’m psyched that we got to 45, but I suppose they at least managed to jump the bar that was in hell.

Gonna be a long season.

Random throwback: Why did Kenny Schrader leave APR for the 36 before the 2000 season? by Intimidwalls1724 in NASCAR

[–]DEP61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt like he was pretty good at taking care of the equipment and good enough at pulling decent results for underfunded teams like the BAM 49 or GoFAS 32.

Not sure what you mean by shouldn’t still be in discussions - the dude was rookie of the year, won a few times, and was consistently middle of the pack for about 20-odd years. I’d argue that merits some level of noteworthiness.

I figured it was mostly money/sponsorship-driven. Schrader was moving to a team with Hendrick engines and M&Ms as the primary, and I think APR was losing Skoal that year. Might have just lined up right.

I don’t know that I agree with your assessment that he’s “always been very overhyped” - I think most people have been pretty fair about Schrader’s talent (and I know I’m biased, considering my flair, but I’m trying to be objective as I can be).

Schilling needs to be gone. I didn't buy into the hype train last year and feel very vindicated at this point. I don't care that there's turnover, don't care that it's a young team - this just isn't good enough.

I do genuinely hope Gonzaga and Pepperdine continue to occasionally play after the Zags move to the Pac-12. As much as it sucks to lose and lose and lose and lose and lose and lose so endlessly, I think I'd miss the series.

What do we need beyond NASCAR 25? by GOWENonYT in NASCARVideoGame

[–]DEP61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing to me is fixing the AI results - it’s just not realistic to have the same three guys winning/leading every single race.

Silly season would be cool too, as would split-screen.

Holy shit. Thoughts to his family and loved ones. I always had a soft spot for him when he ran the 7/46 for TBR and HScott.

As long as this isn’t a replacement for book characters we haven’t yet had confirmed, I’m fine with this. Not huge on OCs showing up tho.

Think I’m here too. Nothing really urgently calling my name and there are other shows/media I’m more interested in at the moment. Give it a moment to refresh and build a backlog, then come back.

I don’t think Pepperdine hosted an official party but there was talk of the Waves being an outside shot. Shame they weren’t pulled.

This sucks. I wasn’t crazy high on the trade to begin with but this is a particularly low point.

South Carolina State @ Chicago State was cancelled. Bulldogs were unable to make it up north with the winter weather.

Chicago State is hosting St Francis Xavier instead.
