Fellow TE fans on here - you know who you are: while technically a "slot" in positional vernacular, the potential of what this dude might be able to do for us schematically in tandem with the conventional stuff has me drooling.
I like the arcs filled in on C, but the state of Illinois, while a cool feature as a stand-alone, is too busy with everything else going on (too bad the CEFCU logos gotta be there for obvious reasons).
Ideally, again with the caveat there's no way in hell from a marketing/identity/brand angle...
Locals I'd like to do, at least alternating, with the occasional "WOW" two-for-one, or even a clutch H-H like the SLU deal:
TIER 1: Marquette /Butler/Purdue/Iowa State/Wisky...
after that, I have a hard time with 2-for-1's - maybe need to spread out more geographically
TIER 3: as they sit...
Who cares the motivation? Isn't the largest cog in this beyond the games and such (the real appetizer for us legit fans), and more what greases the mechanism most in terms of exposure and donor $$$. Anything that brings more people out = a marketing +
...or maybe I'm over-simplifying here.
Pedon seems too nice a guy to get that hate/hate going again (Firey Italian/Norfolk St. aside); can we bring Dan back as a celebrity coach just once for poops & giggles?
Some Monday afternoon "meh" banter regarding Mo. State and C-USA on the tail end of a thread on MVCFans...

...interesting footprint with MTSU & WKU - otherwise, wierd.
Other than the Bradley outlier, the scores have been plenty up.
It will be interesting to see how we play with a big lead.
Mal goes off. Foster double-doubles.
Barkeep, throw me another shot of that tasty Red Kool-Aid!

...or perhaps Judson and Pedon try some new stuff...
