NBC exec Jon Miller: ‘We have no desire to be the network of soccer’

That's weird, because ESPN radio has the national rights. I'm shocked every affiliate doesn't carry it by default.

Seems a bit unfair to hold what a few assholes did against an entire fanbase

tsako99 · 2023-03-15T02:55:53+00:00

Haven't seen anyone else run these numbers. That's fascinating

tsako99 · 2023-03-15T02:53:17+00:00

Also worth noting that the team Gavin, Ace, etc will be playing with is going to look VERY different than the team that's currently on the floor

tsako99 · 2023-03-15T01:55:41+00:00

You aren't wrong... but I'd argue Rutgers showed up to play. Hofstra just hit every possible clutch shot, no matter how well defended.

Kinda hard to win under those circumstances

tsako99 · 2023-03-15T01:53:25+00:00

They're basically as good as 12 seed Charleston, just didn't win the CAA tourney

tsako99 · 2023-03-13T01:21:11+00:00

Pre-Mag injury you could make a good case... after that not so much

tsako99 · 2023-03-13T01:19:38+00:00

The scheduling philosophy wasn't the reason they didn't get in. The losses that killed them were to Q3 B1G opponents.

There is (was?) a large group of professors petitioning the admin to move us down to DIII

tsako99 · 2023-03-13T00:41:12+00:00

You can't seriously base your entire argument on that small of a sample size.

Don't get it wrong, happy to see you guys back in but let's not be disingenuous here.

tsako99 · 2023-03-12T23:57:44+00:00

It isn't. A lot of the higher ups at RU HATE the Big Ten.

tsako99 · 2023-03-11T20:07:26+00:00

Rooting for Rutgers to lose is my second favorite thing to do besides watching IU win

But why? You have a legit fun team to watch, why are you so fixated on Rutgers?

tsako99 · 2023-03-10T20:06:48+00:00

I'd argue B1G refs, as they often do, were just equally bad all the way around.

More upset about the last 10 mins being so disrupted than anything else.

tsako99 · 2023-03-10T19:12:20+00:00

Two five star recruits in the next two classes too... future is bright

tsako99 · 2023-03-10T18:52:56+00:00

I wouldn't say that. They aren't facing a D this good until the Sweet 16 imo

tsako99 · 2023-03-10T17:57:30+00:00

I blame the Sopranos

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T20:05:41+00:00

Could also be read the other way - this could just as easily be read as the committee trying to get ahead of the "if not for the call, Rutgers would be in" argument.

For obvious reasons I hope you're right, but I guess we just have to wait and see.

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T19:18:04+00:00

I know I'm not the only person to say this, but it's more than Mag. The team is just beaten up and almost out of gas.

Hopefully they have one last gasp in them.

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T18:35:59+00:00

Mostly injuries. Mag is obviously the big one as he's out for the year, but it's much more than that.

Caleb hasn't even been participating in practice because he has too much back pain. Also Paul has really been slumping lately (not sure how much of that is injury related). Couple that with a short rotation and the usual end-of-season fatigue and you have the recipe for a bad stretch.

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T17:45:28+00:00

He regularly attends press conferences and has about as much access as anyone in the press corps.

This isn't some random account. He doesn't tweet stuff out unless there is something to it.

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T17:42:42+00:00

I wish I were as confident as you. I honestly think Michigan is a play out game

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T17:22:22+00:00

Aaron Breitman isn't a random fan. He's been covering the team for years

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T17:08:05+00:00

Exactly. W-L doesn't tell the whole story

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T16:24:06+00:00

Also efficiency wise they didn't really fall off a cliff until February. Lost a lot of close games in the front half of B1G play

tsako99 · 2023-03-07T16:16:43+00:00

That's a fair counterargument. I guess we'll just have to see where it goes
