Gossner Recap

So after three days and nights spent in the Spectrum what did we learn?

-Jared Quayle is the man. Put the team on his back to get us the win against Wyoming. He gets better every single night.

-The Spectrum's reputation is getting bigger by the day. We had officials tell us that it was one of their favorite places to do a game because "when you guys are full its as loud as anywhere". One of Howard's assistant coaches told us that during a film session the camera went away from the team and panned to the crowd and the players didn't believe that it was actually the student section and watched the tape multiple times just to make sure, he also commented that he had never seen any crowd like us in 16 years of coaching and wanted to come to a USU-Nevada game at the Spectrum before he died.

-Not only that but ESPN.com and Midmajority.com writer Kyle Whelliston was in the building for all three games and couldn't say enough great things about the crowd and the team. He even came and sat with us during the USU-Wyoming game and will have an article about Utah State on ESPN.com in the next couple days. Kyle's writings on the midmajority.com have been an inspiration to me for several years now and it was awesome to finally meet him and for him to be as cool as he was.

-There were so many other great stories, from Paul Kirkpatrick from Howard's love of Subway's Chicken bacon ranch sub, to Brandon Ewing being heckled for 3 straight days and still being cool as hell to us, to having dinner with the officials at Iggy's. This years Gossner was truly one of the best Aggie basketball experiences ever.

WAC play starts on Monday, if the Aggies can keep this winning streak alive for 3 more games we could easily see a top 25 ranking in our future.
