Last year, the Weber State Wildcats (yeah, that's-a my school, peoples) had the WORST record in the entire conference. (We're in the Big Sky.) This is not surprising; we're a commuter school, with an inordinate amount of nontraditional students. (Almost more than we have traditional students.)

But this year, we got a new head coach, Randy Rahe. And he's turned our horrible season last year, worst in the conference, into the BEST in the conference. Yeah, we're number one. So we've had the opportunity to host the conference finals. So Portland State, Northern Arizona, and Montana all came here for the week.

And last night was the semifinal.

And we won.

77-74 against Portland State.

It was an ugly game; we almost lost, and were only shooting 40.4 percent from the field. Ugly.

But we won. That's what matters.

Tonight, the final game will be played betwen the Wildcats and Northern Arizona. And I sure hope we win.

NCAA tournament here the Wildcats come!

I knew there was a reason I didn't understand manga.

Well, good for you, mr. hoity-toity.

I'm still impressed that Rahe took the worst team in the conference and in one year made it number 1.

YOu should also be concerned. While not last, my team has been an also ran for years. OUr coach took them to the top in one season as well. Now there is talk about some Big school grabbing him. I suspect there will be talk about your coach as well. I would hate to lose ours, but then we are not ACC or Big ten, so it will probably happen.

Go Wildcats, SC! Congrats on your team making the big dance.

I think Doc is right. Randy Rahe is probably gonna get snatched up by a bigger school. If not this year then definitely next year, especially if Weber State has another good year.

I'm sure he will, but we'll enjoy it while it lasts.
