First time since 1970 that three teams are making their initial FF appearance.

St. Bonaventure, Jacksonville, New Mexico State. Bob Lanier was on that St. Bonaventure team.

I wonder what it's like to be a guy who worked on seeding teams when everything blows up like this? 4 (that should've been a 3 or even a 2), 5, another 5, and a 9...

I guess there was more parity in talent and experience b/c of the pandemic year than usual

There's always upsets just more than usual this season.

It is something.

Seems in Hollywoodland, everybody and their brother has some connection to San Diego State. SDSU gear on line is apparently on back order.

Wasn?t Ball State?s Brady Hoke the head basketball coach there at some point?

I guess I have that connection myself.

Maybe I?ll get in line for a t shirt.

No, but there is a Michigan connection. SDSU HC Brian Dutcher was an assistant coach under Fisher when M won the national in 1989 and through 1998.

Steve Fischer also coached SDSU.

That?s cool.

Go ?tecs, I guess.

Is that what we call them?

Or the Azzies?

and Brady Hoke.

I know more than a few Michiganders that ended up in SD.

Was at a restaurant there with my mom many years ago, and my mom was giving me shit for showing up in a Michigan t-shirt. then halfway through our meal the owner came over and said "Go Blue" and mentioned she was also an alum, sat down to talk to us for a bit and comped our meal!

I was like "Gee, I sure am glad I wore this shirt today."

So, I am also going to root for SDSU.

Tony Gwinn played basketball for SDSU. So there's that. I think he led that team in batting average too.

I thought batting average was a baseball stat.

 

[Michchamp]

His batting average was so high, it applied in basketball too. But only for him.

If field goal % is a b-ball stat, so is batting average.

Even though I have a pretty hard and fast rule that every college sports season ends when Michigan?s season ends, I might be tempted to peak in on San Diego State a little later.

It?s a pretty big story around here.
