Notable games this week...DISCUSSION THREAD

MidTennMtneer
WVU didn't cancel classes. Some professors did eapecially in the Life Sciences building where Pat was setup, but the school didn't. The county school system did close though due to traffic as game is sold out.

I watched the whole show. He is a great ambassador for the program. Had Duece McBride on and Pat siad if he made a shot (about half court range) he'd pay the tuition of the kid that was there first at 330am. It happened.

Got his old teammates together too and combined to donate $1m to the CRT collective.

Very glad Wren Baker is there now as AD. Shane Lyons didn't like that kind of attention, didn't like GameDay being there, alumni, etc.

When you have an engaged coach, AD, and alumni, things happen. We are beginning to see that at MT and I hope we just continue to grow. I think CM had a renewed vigor as well with the energy CDM brings. I'm excited to hear reports later today of how the first Party in the Grove went.

Do you know what exactly the face-lift of the Murphy Center is? They desperately need to get rid of the bleachers and track. If those two things aren't done it's not much of a face-lift in my opinion.

Yep, that's it. Bleachers gone, will be private boxes in their place. From my understanding maximum capacity would likely drop from 11,500 to 9,500-10,000. For the overall improvement in arena presentation that's a minimal seating reduction IMO.

This time next year is when work will be finalized on the current facility under construction. My understanding was from there the facelift on the Murphy Center was to begin. So they're telling us we now will have enough funding for 2 major projects at the same time? Hard to imagine we could be building an on campus hotel & remodeling the Murphy Center at the same time. I wonder if the hotel takes precedent & work on the arena gets pushed back.

OT: Thoughts on Deion at Colorado?

They will be lucky to win 2 more games this, they haven't improved or upgraded anything. NDSU just didn't have the DBs to run with Horn and Hunter. This is not the NDSU of old, Colorado just got lucky. Shedeur still holds on to the ball for too long and the offensive line still sucks and d line no pass rush. Deion will quit if the start losing and shut Shedeur down to get ready for the draft, what every NFL teams takes, is drafting a problem. He has never been coached by anyone but his daddy.

I said it when he got the job, he isn’t the best with Xs and Os. At Jackson St he just had a far superior team and still lost the Celebration Bowl. The talent gap isn’t as big at this level as he had at the FCS level. I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.

I dare say a hospitality management company is helping foot the hotel bill. Virginia Tech and TX A&M both have on-campus spots run by Benchmark. They run large resorts which ours won't be, but I could see a Hilton brand or something along those lines easily. Especially with it being used for our degree program.

They may have found someone to run it and we lease the land or something. Lots of options to get it built without us footing the whole build.
