UNLV plays for the Mountain West championship against Wyoming, and an automatic bid tonight at 7 Pacific, on the CBS sports channel.  On Comcast/Xfinity here in the Bay Area that is channel 732.

Go Lindy!  While I suspect that Kate Paye will be our next head coach when Tara retires, Lindy looks like she would be a good choice too.

I do have to say, however, that Lindy was lousy at the chalk talks!  Kate used to be terrible too, but she has improved a lot over the years and the last few sessions have been somewhat insightful.  Talking to fans turns out to be a learned skill for coaches.

I should also add that Tara shows no signs of slowing down, and I hope she keeps coaching for another half decade or so.  But she is about to turn 70.

I'm in agreement all the way with you on this, including the comments re chalk talks. Lindy never did get it  -- seemed to be bored and almost resent being there. As for Kate, yes, she too was not good in the past, but this year I've found her to be really good, with a sense of humor, willingness to respond to questions seriously and yes, offer worthwhile insight. 

As for the game tonight, I'll be watching and cheering on UNLV -- for me, an astounding concept.
