    So I think we need to talk about the real reason Gonzaga is leaving....

    For seemingly forever, they've made it known that they did not want Seattle U in the WCC. Then, the other schools finally decided to vote them in anyway (along with Grand Canyon), and shortly after that happened, Gonzaga decided to leave.

    Coincidence?? I THINK NOT!!!

    If you are unaware of Seattle U's basketball program, they play in a very small arena, and they have a very obnoxiously large...ummm...statue? (I guess?) of what I think is a Red Hawk inside of it. This has fascinated myself and some friends of mine for years!! LOOK at this thing!!!

    https://seattlespectator.com/2022/01...ing-as-family/

    And we have all kinds of theories as to how this came to be. For starters, there's NO WAY they fit that thing through the doors!! It had to have been there before the arena was built, and they simply built the arena around it!! We think it might even predate the entire Seattle U campus!! It may actually be thousands of years old and have some ancient secret powers or something!!

    But, it is understandably a frightening thing!! I don't blame Gonzaga for wanting nothing to do with this giant monstrosity of a hugely oversized bird!

    But, it is gonna kinda suck that Grand Canyon, who's REALLY built themselves up and who I think will be in the top 25 by the end of the season this year, won't get to play in the same conference as Gonzaga on a regular basis. They'll have one year together and that's it. I think that series could have ended up being kinda fun.

    Funny stuff. Now, if only Seattle could mechanize that thing to flap its wings the entire game ala the St. Joseph’s hawk which, I recall, flapping at least one wing through the entirety of a 3 OT loss to the Muskies at Schmidt Fieldhouse. FWIW: St. Joe’s finished the game with at most four players on the court as the other players had all fouled out. It was hard not to root for the depleted visitors at the end.

    You didn't quite clarify this, but you're obviously talking about the arena and not the bird. I'm pretty sure their arena does just inflate before each game.

    We gave a life-size to a friend for his 50th birthday many years ago.
    It had multiple opening.
    We inflated it and drove through the gate on Kiawah. Thought they were going to arrest him.

    I felt sorry for their mascot at that game. His shoulders had to be dead at the end.

    Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

    The Hawk’s non-stop flapping was easily the best performance on the court that night!
