Note to the AD:

Don’t schedule Oregon State in football and Michigan State in basketball on the same day.

Both NS teams combined were only able to score 42 points when the competition was rolling up 161.

NS - 3, OS - 77

NS - 39, MSU - 84

Ah well, this too shall pass.

As long as the checks clear, it was probably worth it.

To be fair, the game against Oregon State was meant to be played in the first week of the season, and got delayed. Hence why Oregon State was playing a game a day after the Pac-12 Championship.

(I wonder what they would’ve done had OSU made it to the Pac-12 championship game?)

There’s never a good day. Nicholls State is not, shall we say, a juggernaut.
