Right now the football and basketball conferences are both slightly better than the fucking MWC.

No team in the conference has proven it on the big stage in a long time. For basketball, a sweet 16 appearance would be legit. I would be surprised to see them win a tournament game.

Football team needs to win against a legit OOC opponent. Convincingly. Until then, the team is just the PAC-12 & MWC co-champ. Nationally no one seems to really care. They really don't have much reason to, either.

The annoying this is, the football team could be undefeated next year going into the playoffs, and people could argue they didn't play anyone good. Another playoff loss, and the program still has no marquee win. The only thing that would help the narrative would be if there was another team that went 11-1, with the only loss to UW in the conference title game. Or, maybe a 10-2 team with two losses to UW. A 10-2 Oregon with a neutral win over Auburn wouldn't suck in this scenario. Having a strong conference can only help, but hasn't been there in what seems like a decade outside of two Oregon seasons. FY, FM, FE.

To summarize: FY, FM, FE.

You're dumb.

Am I? Who did they beat OOC this year? Seattle U?

If you can't see this team is twice as good as they were two months ago I can't help you.

Thanks for proving my point. Right now they are beating up a shit conference and no one has any idea how good they are. Lot of brackets have them at a 8 seed. Win a game vs the 9 seed and we'll be respectable again.

Hi there.

We played plenty of shit competition two months ago.

This team is better than they were. Significantly. Naz is making the leap. Jaylen is hitting threes. Shit, even Crisp has stepped it up. Non conference we needed Noah to dominate every game. In conference he hasn't even shown up until game 8 and we are undefeated. The team figured out how to win when Dickerson is shut down or in foul trouble. They are much improved.

NOGAF until they actually make March Madness and win some games.

Jesus, this is Mariners fan FS. "The team is playing a lot better with Cano and Cruz and Segura!"

Until they're not. Every year.

Do I think Hop is the right guy? Yeah probably. Do I care til they are making Match runs? No. Does anybody?

Awful cold out for March POTD..

Nobody pay attention right now. It doesn't count as much as it would in March. Ground breaking perspective you're providing here.

Derek shut down the boards. There's nothing to see until the tourney. After that you can shut it down till late December. No since watching or commenting until the big ones.
