Re: Lack of marketing (lazy old regime wasting DH's time?)

I travel enough to report that many colleges and universities have billboards and ads in their local and regional airports. As someone earlier mentioned, it's part of a branding effort, building awareness and keeping the product top of mind. Marketing encompasses creative and directional media; dire...

Re: 11/24 | Virginia Cavaliers | 7:30PM (ESPNU)

I'd be willing to bet most of us had the team at 3-2 at this point. Split PC and Alabama (oh, hell - beat PC!) and finish OOC 8-3. There WILL be an unexpected loss or 2 in the A-10. Sh'appens. Breathe, and realize that this is an NCAA caliber team. At that point it's all about the draw and match ups.

FWIW, though listed as #32, they're dropped into the projected brackets as a 7 seed, Agree on the lack of respect for the best team in the A10, but do the work between the lines and it will all fall into place.
