Yeah. It was kind of a higher quality naugles (everything was fresh) with the menu, there was Mexican in there as well … and it extended, we smoked about 4 dozen slabs of ribs and half chickens per day as well. And there were sandwiches. It was a huge menu. But that’s where it was, delivering food sucked. The money was good because a lot of casino workers lived in those apartments, they knew how to tip. A good night in the later 80’s, you’d pull in around $150 in tips. But you were also a target.

I remember pulling an order for Mark Wade. A shit ton of food, he was hosting a recruit in June of 87 after he graduated, apartments in college grove. Of course I told him no charge, he invited me in and we talked a bit about the 87 season.

And no shit, I hadn’t seen him since then until 2000, I believe, I was going to watch Omari Pearson work in the north gym, nobody had really seen him yet… and walking out was Wade. He says, “Spilotro!”. He remembered me from the thing in 87.

My grandmother worked checkout at Flamingo from 60's until early 90s. She lived in those apartments off Koval/Harmon (behind old The Drink) and it was all casino workers back then. It used to be nice. Hard to grasp now. Had a client that bought a MFH 4 unit property a few years ago on the corner of Royal Crest/Twain. I tried to warn him lol.

So say the PAC had malicious intent all along. Which I admit is possible. It really doesn't change much, unless the MW can prove that another conference was willing to deal with them for a better deal.
The bottom line the MW contract is so punitive it opens it up some sort of legal action. Whether that was the PAC's intent or not from the beginning. If they would have reduced the fees, then it the MW would probably be taking home much more money in the long run.

Again, just the scheduling agreement alone forced the PAC 2 to pay 3-5x the normal rate for these OOC games. Which again makes me question why would they agree to it if there were other options, but that isn't the point.

If you are looking for a new car do you go to one dealership or a couple?

You can't complain about getting a bad deal if you didn't explore other options.

CUSA SBC were potential options. If the only conference the PAC spoke to was the MWC that's on them and therefore there is no duress.

If they had exhausted all other possible options then yes there would be duress. They would have been forced to schedule with the MWC or lose the season entirely.

The minute they felt like the costs were exorbitant, they should have been on the phone with CUSA or SBC. In fact they should have been in contact with all three from the start.

If they weren't doing that from the start ask yourself why?
If they didn't reach out to either of those conferences or other schools the minute they felt they were getting fleeced ask yourself why?

From what I understand, he was in the middle of a high speed chase fleeing from the cops that were going to arrest him on a warrant for the homicide charges which he had fled. This tells me that he didn't value the lives of other people at all, and his death was then self inflicted when he was cornered.

Ballungay should have been used in every game, at least 4-5 times, but that wasn’t part of the playbook!

If you were an NCAA basketball player today only three colleges would make you relatively steady and slow moving.

It does look like the best of the G5' s will either be programs that have wealthy benefactors ( Gonzaga ) or programs with coaches who become able to identify underperforming players and get them to their potential. ( repeated every year because these players won't stay or they are seniors. )

Click to expand...

I agree although there is a healthy amount of luck in that. It's hard to consistently nail out of all the underperforming players which ones are going to start performing again. So I imagine we will see years like last year along with years like say Utah St's year this year.

Because they never intended to honor it.

They intended on crippling the MWC. USU UNLV would have put the MWC in a position to where rebuilding would have been near impossible. AFA is gone to the AAC.

Tell me why you would sign this awful deal with the MWC when CUSA would absolutely have done a deal with you.

Click to expand...

Like I said that is a very risky play. THey have dealt with Gloria, they know how she is built.

The reward of possibly "crippling" the MW vs the risk of 50-60 million in extra fees and at the very least of high legal fees to a person who is stubborn as hell and would do anything to not "lose" to the PAC. They should have at least foreseen a merger with the CUSA, keeping the MW name in some fashion to legally hold up any fees that could be coming to them. If the PAC can rebuild with 2, the MW can reuible with 6.

"Tell me why you would sign this awful deal with the MWC when CUSA would absolutely have done a deal with you."
That's my point exactly! There is NO reason to sign with the MW if they had legitimate other options.

Either way what WE think is meaningless. At the very least it looks as if the PAC is winning. The word is the MW teams are not expecting anywhere near what they thought they might get. UNLV just hired 2 coaches with zero funding coming from future media revenue bonuses. The PAC will combine mediation from both lawsuits which is a win for the PAC. At the very least it looks like some of the PAC's claims has some legal merit.

Another reason not to be too critical of our offensive numbers. We did nothing to create open shots, relying primarily on one on one plays that usually resulted in a tough, contested shot. Most of our 3 point attempts were deep and/or contested, or mostly rushed.
There is a reason why players' offensive numbers often underwhelmed after transferring here.

Haha! Lsu paid 3m for a guy who could not crack this list.
