I think you always want an MTE for the extra games on the résumé and experience, but man, this really does push the limits of value.

BTW, looks like the Mizzou one is only a 3-team round robin, so there's no 4th spot available there. So it's us and Tulsa from the top 10 conferences still hanging.

Is it possible we don't play in an MTE? Is it better to not play in one that will give us any decent games and just go out and get 1-2 crummy games on our own? Or better to play in one and just get the extra games?

I think it's better to play in one. Gives you tourney experience u can maybe use for the A-10 tourney. Gives u confidence if you win it, no matter who it is against. And, gives us extra games to look at our guys, which could help narrow the rotation come conference time. And, it's just a freaking terrible look to be the highest ranked team in the NET to not be in one. Just schedule some freaking games already!!!!!!!

Agreed.Have thought that for awhile.We’d get 3 games.Short drive down I-75 for yours truly.

Harris and Biden surrendered to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Never forget.

We would still have a few home & homes ooc. And it was a little bit hyperbole. But hey something to consider in the NIL era.

I mean let's face it, our OOC home games recently have not been anything that you can get too amped up about. All of our big home games are conference games.

We obviously are going to have our own home buy games each year. But am I excited about going to see VMI, William and Mary, and Belmont at the Robins Center, nope. I doubt many are. It is the unfortunate reality of the current landscape of college basketball.

So since getting quality games at home is a lost cause at present, we need make sure we can get them either on the road or in a neutral court setting.

Bring back the Times Dispatch Tournament and/or The Spider Classic

Saw some great games there So Miss, WV, VaTech, UNC and in state rivalries.

This untested group will be an important dimension in the season’s success.
Otherwise,we’ll be a one dimensional offensive which will be pressed to get Ws.

If you really think of it. What Washington St and Oregon St are going through today we were among the first to experience it. I wasnt around for the FBS days but its hard for me to believe we once had major P4 programs playing games at City Stadium with 16k+ fans.

The first game that I saw as a freshman was a 17 to 10 victory over Va Tech at City Stadium. Dickie Irvin was named National Defensive Player of the week for his play, I believe (though my memory isn't what it used to be.) Stadium was packed and campus rocked afterwards.

the photoshopped image of the coach calling his cell phone is a nice touch 😆

Harris didn’t show up at Arlington Cemetery to commend those killed in Afghanistan 3 years ago today. The families of those fallen were there. President Trump was there. Where was Harris?

Hear you. Agree, the Garland stiff arm was unseemly. That said, based on his performance as Attorney General, far more partisan than neutral. Was hoping for more.

The court being conservative is not the issue to me. How the court became conservative is. Mitch was loathsome and hypocritical by first denying a hearing for months and then jamming one through in weeks.

Now, I would like to see an enforceable ethics code. Some of the decisions, where interested parties have had direct contact with Justices, have strained my faith in dispassionate rulings.

As we both know, All Federal judgeships are lifetime appointments (for good reason}. The ongoing debasing of SCOTUS because it is a conservative majority is unseemly. NO evidence that Thomas has been compromised by gifts from folks with no business before the Court. Just left wing fantasy.

If you seriously believe any President's official actions are not immune from prosecution, President Obama should be jailed for killing an American citizen ( terrorist) in a foreign land without due process. Hope neither of us believe that is warranted.

Desperately need reasonableness and less partisanship.

Another okay one in UT Arlington is off the board, along with Let’s Go Peay.

ZERO credibility from a Dude that has been in office for almost 50 years. Zero.

The only thing wrong with the Court is it has a conservative majority. We lived with one with a liberal bent for decades. Suck it up, quit whining, and live within the system as we did.

Biden was elected by the voters in his state, he did not receive a lifetime appointment. And if you are okay with Supreme Court Justices having no ethical restraints and having a President who can do anything illegal as long as it is deemed an "official act", good for you.
