Could be that between transfers, JUCO and COVID limits, there will be a trickle down to the FCS so we’ll see a bunch in the traditional February time frame

I remember watching that game in Comcast Bayarea (or whatever it was called then). I believe Greg Papa on the call. I also remember both Mark Payne and Joe Harden being out with injury yet we pulled it off! Ended the 49 game losing streak.

It almost seems like that announcement came out prematurely. In the past, they rolled them out one after another.

Last season didn’t Portland and one or more Idaho school announce a class of a couple guys on signing day? I think I remember them eventually naming a full and well regarded class.

Who knows

I think being the underdog let’s them play looser. When the shots didn’t fall vs the Urban Legends, we got tighter and tighter in all aspects of the game. Last night, they stayed loose, weathered the early poor shooting and got more confident as the game went on.

I with we had a better 4-out offense in the final minutes. I don’t mind seeing Ezra work the clock and take a shot at the end , but a back door or open 3 off his drive would be nice. And DO NOT FOUL on the rebound after working the me shot clock!

I’ll be at UOP; short drive. UCSB seems to be off to a bit of a slow start. Love to see a sweep of the tigers. Remember that LONG losing streak we had to them?

I know the NCAA bumped up the number of scholarships allowed to deal with the COVID extra year, but not sure for how long and, probably more importantly, whether we took advantage of that (it’s not free!). Based on Hawk’s comments post SDSU and their 85 scholarships, I’m guessing we didn’t use the full allotment.

What’s the process, Finn?

might explain their record!

Quite a start to second half; up 48-37!

Listening and live stats while at a high school basketball game. Looks like we’ve overcome a frigid shooting start to be down 2 at the half. Pepper 0-5? Need to get him going. Is he getting open shots?

Paper shows 6 point underdogs. I think I’d take the beavers and give the points after the finals layoff.

the men have a 2:00 start a week Wednesday. Gonna be an intimate gathering!

This Sunday’s mens game is a noon start at UOP. Brunch and basketball!

the kid that grad transferred from UCLA has more than one year of eligibility, so he can be a 'real' grad student.

Don’t etch the Babb is back in stone; that wasn’t the message I got at the last basketball game from someone in the program. So, second hand, but trust the source

I can’t imagine too many schools interested in picking up the original starter who went in the portal as the playoffs started! Not the kind of guy I’d want in my program

Think Montana st is fresher having not played the 9 games SHSU played in Spring?

That ugly sweater commercial just put me over the edge!

I’ve never been a fan of the grad transfer idea. Not sure the motivation of coming in for a year, and, possibly, not even being a real student. I don’t mind guys changing their minds after a year or two and leaving to be a real part of another program. I’m just getting old, I guess

looks like the Bison fans are a little underwhelmed by the quarterfinals

Kelly had skills and sizes that made you think he got overlooked somehow by the big schools.

There is talk of moving the signing dates back since the portal is becoming more and more active. Makes sense; schools don’t know what openings they might have until the season is over

I think these guys get people in their ears with unrealistic expectations. I love Gilliam but is he a Pac12 type talent? Does he go ‘home’ to Fresno and replace Rivers? Same question with Perryman. Is the Pac12 calling? I get that they have a degree in hand (hopefully) and played 4 seasons (one short one), so this is gravy. But…unless you can’t work out a grad school option here, only transfer for a definite football upgrade.

I look back at Squire leaving for the ‘big time’ in basketball and ending up with Portland State. Bad decision
