Title: Commodores @ Hogs game thread - 8pm ESPN
Post by: Pig Benis on Jan 20, 2026, 01:25 PM
Goes without saying but this is a big one. Considering our horrendous play on the road, we're going to have to hold serve at home all year.

Hopefully Cal has lit a fire under their asses. We're 1.5 point favorites.

I'd prefer Ravech solo to having 30 seconds of Dykes.

We should have rehired him as women's coach just to get him off the air.  Make Ravech his assistant if you like.

It's a close battle for sure.

Dykes always comes up with some off the wall expression that he claims is an old adage. "The ball always knows when it's time to go in," or whatever gem he came up with tonight.

I'm not sure the "good guards are good from free throw line out, but great guards are good from free throw line in" line actually makes sense.

I thought Jimmy was implying that the 4 by our bench ("by Cal") were the highest dollar. I do think sitting right by Cal and our guys would be more $$ than sitting by the visitors.
