News Roundup

UPDATE: As was astutely pointed out in the comments section, I forgot to mention that Montana HC Robin Selvig won his 700th game last week over Illinois in his team's Cancun Tournament. This little fact is intriguing:

"By winning his 700th game in 899 games coached, Selvig matches former Texas coach Jody Conradt as the fifth fastest coach in NCAA men’s or women’s basketball history to reach 700 victories."

They even made a special postmark for the man.

Evidently there is another Big Sky POW Award besides my Big Sky Big Timer. Congrats to Jenny Heringer and Caitlin Anderson, both are very deserving. But if I were Tonya Schnibbe I would be writing my congressman.

The hard working Will Holden has a great look at recent Bobcat signees.

Nothing like a truck stop Thanksgiving. Kristen Feemster wrote a cool blog post about Western Carolina's trip to Montana for last week's game. Kristen needs to do some research next time though. She thought Montana would be flat?! Don't diss my mountains girl!

The ACC-Big 10 Challenge got underway last night and continues through Wednesday. The Pac 10 and Big 12 team up for a series later this week. I love the concept and wish the Big Sky could do something like this. I know its probably cost prohibitive for a mid-major conference like the Big Sky, but a guy can dream can't he? Big Sky-Missouri Valley Showdown anyone?

You should print out your own Big Sky Big Timer certificate and send it to Schibbe at Weber.

No shoutout for Selvig's 700th win?

Keep up the great work TW
