I don’t know what’s going on

San Jose State just ruined my night.
The Spartans just took down Utah State in a performance that would have made Gerard Butler proud, and now I’m not sure what to do.
I was going to write a blog about the Nevada men’s basketball team being buried behind three teams and explore how the Wolf Pack could still claim its fifth straight WAC championship.
Now the Aggies have dropped back in line with the Wolf Pack, I’m sitting at the computer making fart noises with my mouth.
Want a prediction?
Fresno State is going to edge my mom and four of her Pinochle partners from Wells for the Western Athletic Conference Tournament title. How’s that?
The WAC is so damn screwy this season it wouldn’t be that big of a surprise (plus, can you imagine the look on Hector Hernandez’ face upon lifting the hardware over his head? Would he abandon the “you don’t know whether I’m pissed off or just trying to read a small sign” look? Oh, the drama).
Nevada can’t beat Boise State, Boise State can’t beat New Mexico State and New Mexico State still can’t find a way to beat the law. Oh, and the Spartans are capable of beating anybody. The Spartans. Seriously?
Right now Boise State looks to have a firm grasp on the title, but you could have said the same about Utah State a week ago, and look how that turned out.
For the moment, the Broncos and NAggies are tied in the loss column with three, and Utah State, the Pack and Hawaii are one game back with four losses.
If the Broncos can get through the now dreaded Hawaii-San Jose State road swing and then finish of Utah State at home, they deserve the title. But I don’t think they can do it.New Mexico State still has to come to Reno, Hawaii has to go to New Mexico State, and, as stated, UtAgs still have to travel to Boise.
What’s this all mean?
In a muddled conference, the Wolf Pack still has a shot to hang another banner. But so does Hawaii and its 11-12 record.
Too bad none of this really matters - we all know the only thing that really matters this season is who wins the tournament.

ah, the only fault you can find with NMSU is a few player’s shananigans.
They are on a roll and getting it together!
I wish the wolfpack luck in the NIT!!!
