I was looking at the big west boards and the moderator lays out all seeding scenarios (he’s a better man than I). We’ll be a top 4 seed if we win at least 1 game. Where we end depends on the other top teams. That’s all dependent on all games playing out.

It would have been an advantage to start at 1, or 11 Hawaiian time. Maybe the big west has an agreement with UH not to start too early

I think if you use the link from the schedule it will take you directly there. Pluto isn’t the easiest to navigate. Drives me nuts you can’t look ahead more than a few hours

tomorrow we’ll have Scott Marsh with football at 11, followed by Scott Marsh with basketball at 4

I’ve seen 4 on the program email that came out this week

I had heard Hastings and Rodrigues were the two front runners but that was coming out of last spring (which seems like years ago)

Have you looked at flights to Tulsa? Another challenging place to get to!

I’m leaning to the ‘means nothing’ side. I like how the ‘or’ lists are all alphabetical. Jim Zorn would never have started at QB for us!

Fall was tough because the games (home and a few away) and festivities have been so ingrained in our routine for 15 or so years. The spring league? I haven’t gotten into the groove yet so not missing it yet. Maybe after watching Saturday it will seem more real. For now, it has a XFL feel.

I am missing the basketball experience. After I retired, I was planning on coming up for almost all home games ( no worries about getting up early after a long midweek drive home). Not having in person has made it a little harder to get a strong connection with the players. That month long hiatus of course played a big part.

The final game last year we lost on a 3 at the buzzer against really good D was a heartbreaker

The formula for UC pension has 3 components. Average salary over last 3 years, number of years and an age factor. The age factor changed several years back but the way mine was (I’m old) is that it varied linearly from 1-2.5% dependent on a retirement age of 50-60. So, 2.5% is cap if you take retirement at or after 60. I think the new formula starts at 55 and caps at 65.

So, for example 20 years at age 60 would be a multiplier of 20x2.5=50% of the average salary.


If they can opt out of the pension and get money out into a 401k (403b for UC) that’s probably a better bet.

Extra years of credit is a great incentive!

thanks!

What’s the format? I would think 4 bottom seeds ‘play in’ to set up an 8 team tourney? I don’t recall seeing the plan.

I used to like the old format where top two seeds byed into the quarters, 3-4 got one bye. Gave the regular season more emphasis

Via the Big West site, we are in 3rd winning percentage wise. Not sure how that will translate to seeding when cancelled games get mixed in. Love to see a season ending sweep of Hawaii but think split is more probable

those don’t count, do they? That’s the case on the men’s side

two impressive wins for UND

I was following on live stats and the thread line showed ‘Davis scoreless in last 2:30’ then ‘last 3:30’ and finally ‘last 4:45’. Luckily they were scoreless in last 5:00!

We have several guys in foul trouble with 12 to go. I’m following via game cast cuz 3 grandkids are here. Not big bball fans at 4,4 and 6!

Seems like Saturday games have a lot of fouls. Lazy defense and a desire to keep tempers at bay?

you jinxed it! Missed 6 in a row. Both teams a bit sloppy the last few minutes
