What does it mean?

So...

Utah and BYU are leaving the Mountain West Conference next year. In their place the MWC is getting Boise State, Nevada and Fresno State.

From a basketball perspective... things are looking pretty good for SDSU! While the two schools leaving have powerful programs the three schools joining don't exactly invoke fear on the hardwood. And who's left to fill the void after this? New Mexico? Too streaky. UNLV? Perhaps.

That is all.

We're halfway there...

Hit it, Natalie...

(San Diego State has) all five starters returning from a 25-9 squad that reached the NCAA Tournament as well as the addition of a well-regarded group of freshmen and transfers. Already, SDSU has been included in several preseason Top 25 rankings. The university’s media relations department is calling it "the most anticipated season in Aztec basketball history."

From mainstream pundits like Katz and Vitale to bloggers like Collegehoops, almost everyone has the Aztecs ranked as one of the top 25 teams in the country. Even stalwarts such as the Associated Press Content has SDSU ranked at least a tad bit outside the top 25.

With their first ever national network prime time TV game on February 26th, 2011 these are heady days for the Aztecs.

We here at M2M have a new lease on life and a new mantra; We will not take failure. Not this time. Fuck you, failure.

We will also have a new addition to the M2M family. That's right, baby M2M. He should be screaming his way from Mrs. M2M's insides around mid December. Just in time for... SDSU vs. Wichita State? Yikes. Sorry kid.

W-T-F

Pop quiz, hotshots! You're on Jeopardy. You pick famous coaches for $200. Alex Trebek asks you which school did the legendary John Wooden coach at. What do you do? What do you do?

Geeeeeez, Mrs. March To Madness could have gotten that...

I'm still here, motherfuckers...

Spartan coach Izzo declines NBA offer and stays at MSU for Mike Krzyzewski.

Nooooooo

John "The Wizard of Westwood" Wooden - 1910 to 2010

Won 10 NCAA College Basketball Championships with UCLA
7 of them consecutively
Revolutionized coaching
Never swore even when angry
Married his high school gal
When she passed away in 1985 he never remarried
Almost every single college basketball coach today list him as an influence


And now, he's gone.

We saw a wonderful comment on another site: A great coach but a better person. Our loss is heaven's gain. I would pay to see his eyes when he meets up with (his wife) Nell again.

Yeah, we're tearing up now.

WASTErn indeed...

Attention young men

So the blah blah part of the story is some University of Colorado football player provided 4 kegs to a high school party. The BEST part of the story is what happened after the beer was delivered...

One student, Tatiana Christofferson, 18, was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault and released to her parents after deputies said she struck another girl twice and tried to push someone into one of several campfires, the Daily Camera reported. No more charges are pending against any of the students who attended the campout.

And just who is this Tatiana gal?

That's right, she cool, funny and apparently single you guys! Now that's the type of woman we like. Feisty Ukrainians who love a good fire fight.
