Recruit (1/7)

  1. They get paid for all of those games, don't they? A couple of those road games may be home-and-home deals, but mostly it's all about making money for a broke athletic department, isn't it? I presume that's a lot more lucrative than whatever TV money the lowest of low-major leagues pays out. Those teams, the Arkansas-Pine Bluffs of the world basically don't play any non-conference home games and sometimes play on back to back days at different road sites to make money, like a Saturday night at Indiana and a Sunday afternoon at Ohio State. I remember reading a day in the life story from one of these super low-majors on ESPN.com years ago. It talked about how they ate at the cheapest places possible, like the team stopped at the $5.99 KFC buffet alongside the interstate after the game. And they didn't even really have an athletic trainer, so the guys weren't getting proper injury treatment.
  2. There are exceptions to every rule. You can't cite one game vs. Travis Ford's whole career.
  3. A Travis Ford team is never going to win without an overwhelming advantage in talent. This was understood when he was hired, no?
  4. It's on 199 on Charter, 30.3 on local antenna tv.
  5. As a casual fan who's been to 7 Bills games this year, I thought, "It's a waste that this team has to travel all the way to Brooklyn to lose in the A-10 tournament. Plenty of teams to lose to starting tomorrow at Scottrade." Apologies if offended. I'm a believer that college basketball is a regional sport. As a fan, SLU has discarded that notion along with any notion of being not totally offensive at the game of basketball, as well.
  6. You can clearly see the clock stopped after Gillmann's miss. That last basket was before the buzzer, but it wouldn't have counted if the clock had been properly operated. (at about 30 seconds you can see the clock stopped clearly). http://cbsprt.co/16qgU2G I'm just a general college basketball fan, not a Bills fan (but a five-game pack holder the past couple years). Chaifetz is a good place to watch a game, but the game ops people clearly need help (or to be replaced). The PA guy butchers names. The clock operators screw up more than most. The scorers table crew called an extra media TO in the Rhody game, which is something I've never seen in hundreds of games.
