Since this is a sports blog, and we have something big going on in the Big West (and really in all of college sports right now), I'm going to create an open thread for this occasion.
What is an open thread? For those of you new to reading sports blogs, an open thread is where the commenters seize the opportunity to drive the conversation. This could be done in multiple ways, analyzing the games, friendly trash talking or even off topic conversations about things that have nothing to do with the event going on.
Good examples of open threads: Here, the second half of the Alabama/LSU national championship game, and here: yesterday's spring training open thread for the Padres games.
Obviously this is going to take some time to build up an active conversation, but it's definitely worth a try.
Some rules (awww, no fun):
- While trash talking is fun and encouraged, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. This is for the safety of everyone's mental health, and we are not YouTube.
- Cursing is allowed, but once again, can not be directed at someone personally.
- If you can post pictures or .gifs, do so, it makes the conversations a lot more entertaining. That being said, only Safe For Work (SFW) pictures are allowed. If you want to go looking for Not Safe For Work (NSFW) pictures, please do so at your own discretion and try using THE REST OF THE INTERNET, NOT HERE!
- No politics or religion posting. This is a sports site...we talk about sports and other stuff. Politics and religion are "spidery" topics and gets everyone involved in a non-friendly, heated debates. So if you do post that kind of stuff around here, it will get deleted.
- While trolling is allowed, it must be clever and funny...any non-clever or non-funny trolling will be deleted.

ReplyDeleteIt's halftime at the Honda Center. The Gauchos overcame the slow start and now handily lead Pacific 43-29 at halftime.

The Big West is about to become EVEN MORE competitive
Anteaters have just put the Titans on upset alert: 29-21 UCI leads at halftime
ReplyDeleteUPSET ALERT! UCI HAS JUST UPSET CAL STATE FULLERTON! UCSB vs UCI tomorrow
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who have missed it: LBSU destroyed UCD 80-46.
ReplyDeleteCal Poly is currently leading UCR 45-39 with 11:26 to go in the half.
Cal Poly beats UC Riverside 66-54. Cal Poly will now face LBSU tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I need to correct my earlier statements, since LBSU faces the lowest seed, LBSU will face UCI tomorrow while Cal Poly will face UCSB.
