Vik fans like the hire. Duck fans do not, but who cares. Its high time they realize athletics in the state of Oregon do not revolve around the Oregon Ducks.
Duck fans know you guys exist? That's an improvement, isn't it? ;)

Will the Griz underperform yet again this year because of no size inside?

So at what era can we start to count National Championships. Does the history of sports only start the year the griz finally won a NC? Does it start when Don Read became Head coach of UM?

I was old enough to remember the last two Cats Football titles (well...I was alive for the last two...remember 1984). BUT just because I wasn't around for the civil war, doesn't mean it didn't happen. ;)

It didn't happen, just like the moon landing… and the death of disco.

Since it is still 2017...I will keep this here. Cats tip-off tonight in Canada against a bunch of teams that I know nothing about. Should give us a feeling of how the best team ever to throw balls through a basket (MSU BOBCATS) will look. We are averaging about 6'10" across the first 10 players, and all of them can dunk from the 3 line and rebound.

What is their shooting percentage from half-court? 50%?

Cats win 91-71. International rules (24 second shot clock, 4 quarters of play). Lots of turnovers, but we are probably just using them all now, so we won't have any during the actual season....

In all seriousness, Cats sounded pretty good. Still finding there legs since it is August, but all in all a good look into the year to come. Fish commented that this is the deepest team he has had, and that if anyone doesn't come to play, they will be replaced immediately on the floor. Finally have a couple players that really like to go after the ball, and we attacked in the 4th quarter when our depth kicked in.

Why do they'd need to rebound if they can all dunk from the 3 line? :suspicious:

Do they miss a lot of dunks or something?

I don't believe you.

Believe what you want...We rebound on the Defensive side of the ball, this is, when the other team can actually get a shot off...

(FYI---Cats lost on Sunday, 3-1 for the 4 days in Canada)
