First time I've noticed it, although I've needed it. Maybe it's my new version of Firefox but I think I've made a comment with it before. I'm looking forward to the Gonzaga game for exactly the reason you describe, although we'll have a couple of other tests as well. The team has almost played up to expectations so far, the exception being Sac. St. The conference season should be fun, with a lot of exciting games. UCLA looks as good as expected but Cal was unimpressive against Marshall today. I'm not sure how good Marshall is supposed to be but I expected a better performance from Cal.<BR/><BR/>I think the basketball season will be a bit like football with a better end result, record-wise anyway. You can't top beating the Cougars in their own house as a way to end the season unless it's a bowl game.<BR/><BR/>So far so good on recruiting...others are impatient, but there's a lot that will happen between now and LOI day. It's great that Simmons has some pull in the area because the guys that have committed look good on paper, as do a couple of their friends. I'm also glad to a bit wider reach in searching for recruits. That has to be based on various coaches' history and not on our recent seasons. I don't watch recruiting videos so I don't feel qualified to comment on who should and shouldn't be recruited, but there's one name I'm surprised I haven't seen mentioned more. Eric Block from Bellevue impressed me when I watched them vs Long Beach Poly. I understand he's not a high-star type, but I thought he was the best player on the field that day.hairofthedawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101240940373516922noreply@blogger.com
