GU v. Seattle U?

[Angelo Roncalli]

I'm not among those who believe that scheduling SU should be a priority, but this may offer some encouragement to those so inclined:

Q: Would SU consider a series against Gonzaga?

Cameron Dollar: I have had talks with Gonzaga ever since I got the job about starting a series with them. In the future, we will definitely play.

In the words of Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams:

"We told him to stick it!"

We may as well play them instead the Mississippi Valley States, Augustanas and Cal State-Bakersfields of the world. And, as usual, I'm selfishly in favor of more games on the west side of the mountains.

[Kiddwell]

Dollar's on the money (couldn't resist). Let's play.

Maybe Josh could come back and throw out the ceremonial first cell phone.

Not a priority for me either, but I agree that if GU is going to play cupcakes - as it seems to be doing 3 times this year - it might as well play a Catholic local cupcake and keep the money in the "family".

Go Bulldogs! Get Bigger!

Post of the day--that is some funny $hit right there El Voce.

That's why I bought season tickets next to you my man.

Agreed. I also think they should play Eastern Washington and Idaho every year, too. I highly doubt hosting Bakersfield of MV State helps recruit in those areas by any stretch of the imagination.

Idaho is highly unlikely in the near future.

Why is that, CDC?

Why is that, CDC?

If I recall, didn't Idaho's Coach and AD publicly criticize Coach Few and the GU for not agreeing to a home-and-home series with them? From what I remember, Idaho stated they refused to play Gonzaga in Spokane until they were willing to return a game in Moscow. I believe the Zags responded with, "Thanks, but no thanks." Is that correct or way off base here?

The future

In the future, I see SU picking up the Will Conroy and Trey Simmons kind of local Seattle product--under the radar kind of guys who can hurt anybody on a given day. This kind of tough gritty team would be much more of a match than the marshmallows we currently roast. Of course lots of this depends on whether Cameron can coach and whether he can run a clean operation.

A little birdie told me its quite unlikely Seattle U will play Gonzaga until (if) Seattle makes it into the WCC.

[Kiddwell]

Speaking of "little birdies," one told Kiddwell that as soon as SU starts beating UWKFC with some regularity, 'KFC will drop SU from their OOC faster'n you can say "extra crunchy KFC chicken wing!"

Uber is in this camp.
