The people that are hurt with conference realignment are fans. Cuse fans cry when the BE tourn is going on, USC/UCLA has little interest in watching morning Fball against RU, Maryland's BB arena is empty now that they are in the BIG10. But having said that , Gonzaga's move is not that bad. They keep the same geographic area that they had before, but play overall better teams (compared to the WCC) , and they make a better share than they could have with anyone else.

Nothing is ever permanent.

If the PAC 12 were to get picked apart again, I would think Gonzaga is back on the table.

That being said, this current realignment makes sense for Gonzaga right now.

To say that Gonzaga’s next hire after Few is monumental is a huge understatement.

Taught in Paterson for over 40 years so please do not lecture me on school security .Just thought that was a knucklehead add on to use your term . The debate did not change anyone's mind on their vote I believe . At least it was in the most part civil with no trump like name calling etc.

You cherry picked part of his answer. It also included more resources and security for the schools. The windows and doors was an add on to more school security. Are you opposed to more resources in schools? Or is the only answer to get rid of all guns.

The best part for Walz’s answer on him being in China is he’s a knucklehead. Riding a bike in Nebraska as a kid, 400 people in his town and whatever else he said was weird. Tim just saying he lied might have been better.

They don't watch the whole game but you think they just don't watch any of it? In any event, this is becoming an overly neurotic conversation. The point is, if kids are at school and adults are at work, they aren't able to consume your product. End of story. Any form of entertainment considered of value is placed in prime time. This is why the marquee Olympic sports were broadcast live during the day here and replayed in prime time. They want the product consumed en masse. Why MLB doesn't want the same, I just don't get it.

Vance was good. Walz was better than I thought but his explanation on being in China during the protest was “weird”

Walz did reasonably well but he had no chance to keep up with Vance’s intellect. Even if you disagree with his policy there’s no denying that Vance was made for prime time.

The Big. East looks to be a likely target to be raided if a power 5 conference wants to add a school that doesn’t need to have football but does have a major basketball program.. If that does happen UConn and Nova would lead the list of schools to be poached.

Kids on the west coast more than the east coast. A lot of east coast kids aren’t watching full nba or nhl playoff games. The superbowl doesn’t start at 8.

SHUHitman said:

A lot more than the zero kids watching it while in school. I feel like you are arguing just because you want to argue. By your rationale, what kid is watching the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs, WWE, or pretty much anything that starts when the sun goes down. Very narrow viewpoint.

They want to desperately expand fan base ? Young kids is a great way to do it but what 10 year old is staying up past 11 to watch a game?

for those who whined about the distance, now how do you feel? writing was on the wall, should have added them last few years and get the eventual exit fee.

Vance has been really good tonight. Walz, aside from early nerves/jitters, has been pretty good as well. Best debate we've seen in a number of years.

Am I crazy or are these two far more competent than those at the top of each of their tickets?
