I'll be at the game...wondering if there will be more than a handful of others. I bet the light show will really be something!

I had to Google "Muskingum". Never heard of 'em in my life. Raiders by a hundred?

I did summerstock theatre in Marietta (Muskingham’s rival) before coming to WSU. As of the George W Bush administration it had never exactly been a well-regarded powerhouse in anything ever. Checking in again, it looks like that hasn’t changed.

Checking in again, it looks like that hasn’t changed. I had a granddaughter who went there for a quarter a few years back. Academic standards aren’t that high, if your check clears your in. |

Brandon isn’t dressed today. Anyone have the scoop? Did the broadcast address this yet? Maybe just a rest for playing his butt off last game? |

One of our big guys looks like he’d fit in more with the other team.

Brandon Noel has a sore knee. Logan rolled and ankle and Young Grant had foot surgery a few days ago. We dressed eight players and everyone got good minutes.
101-54 but it wasn't really that close.

I didn't see anything to entice people to go to this matinee game. No giveaways, no special ticket prices, etc. Did I miss something? I expected something to try to get families/youth teams to come to the game. Maybe for the best as the atmosphere is usually poor during winter break without the band and they might be less likely to come back.
I hope the scheduling philosophy can be reassessed. I haven't been as critical as others of playing non D1 teams, but outside of giving minutes to some players who haven't seen many minutes, this game does nothing. I believe the 2019-2020 season was the last time WSU paid a D1 team to come to the Nutter Center. Back then, the way the rankings/metrics worked, blowing out a bad D1 team wouldn't help you-- it might even hurt your metrics/NET ranking. With changes made to the NET formula (though the NCAA still refuses to be transparent with it), blowing out a D1 team will now improve your NET ranking, so it could be worthwhile paying a SWAC school to play at the Nutter Center. I'm not sure how the finances are in the athletic department these days--I just feel this middle of the season non-D1 game needs to go.
