End of the regular season: Links and quotes

Monday, March 9, 2009 1 comments

Well now that I'm not busy writing a new issue every night this blog might actually get updated... ah who am I kidding probably not.

Either way here is a completely self-serving list of quotes and links to things written about us or the Aggies that I wanted to have saved in one place. Enjoy reading about me

"Home to Utah State, this postcard city of nearly 50,000 boasts a coach who wins as consistently as anyone in college basketball, a hornet’s nest of a student section"
and
"The student section consists of about 4,000 fans and wraps from baseline to sideline in the shape of an L. Students print an often-hilarious newsletter “The Refraction” for organized heckling, billing it as an “independent and satirical publication"

Sports Illustrated

"THE UTAH STATE student rooting section, a mob of 4,000 blue-clad fans armed with sheets of opposition research for organized taunting, considers itself an integral part of its team's success"

Kyle Whelliston's ESPN Chat:
Scott (Reno): How much better was your Spectrum experience over Lawlor last year? We already know they have the best atmosphere in the WAC(stay down Raggie fans), just want an outside opinion.
Kyle Whelliston: I'm going to give you the difference straight up -- Utah State fans are more organized, more ruthlessly efficient, and care less about offending people than any competitor. The Refraction is a cold-blooded wrecking machine. That's all there is to it.

Good Morning Hoops Nation: January 2
"We spent the evening in a Refraction t-shirt, sitting in with a USU student section that's easily one of the best in the country. You haven't lived until you've done "The Scotsman.""


There is probably more I'm forgetting, and I'll add those in as I remember them or see them.
