Marion Post-Bowl Game

Are we sold on Marion for sure staying next season or is there a chance that he looks to move on now that the bowl game is over with?

A lot of Gator fans are pushing for him and Keith Miller, Marion's good friend is actively and publicly pushing for UF to hire him. Miller is a very well know and respected individual in grassroots sports and has tons of connections.

I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are?

K Boone - Rodriguez

In the Creighton win K. Boone took 27 attempts versus Rodriguez 5. Big win for the Rebs.

In the SDSU loss K. Boone made 5 attempts versus Rodriguez 13. Big loss for the Rebs.

Hard to believe that if it was a POINT OF EMPHASIS DTJ could not get him the ball down low 3 out of 4 possessions. Back in the day LJ touched the ball nearly every possession. He was money down low. Boone is no LJ but he needs to get loads of touches for us to win.

Went to my very first

VGK game. I took my daughter, part of her Christmas present, tickets courtesy of Mastiff. Thank you so much.

Glad they won and the flurry of goals was fantastic. Happy to see my daughter so into it.

Comparing …. Obviously VGK wins hands down with product, with atmosphere, experience … with everything. They really do a bang up job. Loved every second of it.

Been awhile since I’ve been at a sporting event where it didn’t feel like TAPS would have been the appropriate house music.

Was pleasantly surprised that in and out was so much easier than I expected. Not the concourse, that’s absolutely packed, but the drive to and from and the parking situation. Easy.

Comparing it back to the heyday of Rebel hoops. Easier to get in and out of TMobile. Atmosphere - I’d give it to the Rebels believe it or not. Packed house with UNLV vs VGK, edge Rebels … then again, I don’t have a reference point for this particular Knights game…. VGK has the better show/presentation with the theatrics, but given the time in history, the Rebel pre-game and light show was considered among the best around.

Then again, I’m more vested with UNLV, maybe the bias is too strong with me when comparing what we used to do to what the VGK is now.

I was also surprised that the Mack feels chillier than an ice arena but lack of bodies can do that, I suppose.

Fun, fun night, would have been better if I was pre-primed with adrenaline from a UNLV upset vs SDSU but it just wasn’t meant to be.

Posted below that I refused to bail out work today even though they were desperate (again). This was a big reason. I had this planned and it’s been difficult as hell to plan things with her hours and my hours (and so many extra hours …. And so many hours literally last second bailouts) … and I didn’t say anything because ever since my kids have been born, whether it’s vacations or extended outings, my paranoid ass doesn’t say that I won’t be home at certain hours … won’t mention it online, just don’t trust people and I’ve always been the cautious type. Don’t want to announce vulnerabilities.

Thanks again, Bull, you helped make a little girls Christmas great.

Traits

Professional coaching is complicated and there are several traits an NCAA basketball coach has to have. I've listed a few below. What is THE most important trait for an NCAA basketball coach? What trait does KK have the least? What traits should Harper concentrate on when searching for the new coach?

1. In-game strategy
2. Recruiting
3. NCAA rules management
4. Pre- game strategy
5. Pregame prep.
6. Player relationships
7. Fundraising
8.Public relations/Press
9.Assistant management

Feel better …

SDSU is better and we screwed the pooch out of the gate with not looking inside and just playing jack it up from long range.

It was such a bad start.

But they did show some grit, some fight back. In fact I think they did it pretty well. Might be the toughest team we will play all year (maybe not, because they aren’t a good rebounding team like they usually are). But I felt like we went toe to toe with them pretty well for most of the game, it was just too late. I don’t feel like it was SDSU taking their foot off the gas. I think it was UNLV playing decent defense against a poor offense but the difference was they started to get it inside more and make things happen instead of settling for threes. It seems like when we chopped it to 7 a couple times; we missed a three (and actual good threes that were pretty open, you can’t just ignore them; you have to take them and make some, just not take them 7 times in a row down the floor).

It’s a rough stretch for the Rebels to start conference; but they’ll win a couple of them at least. I think we are going to crush UNM.
