That is a pretty nice little arena CSU has.
EOG's favorite team (Chicago State is OUT, UC-San Diego is IN)
- Thread starter WildBill
- Start date
Opened in the fall of 2007.

The Chicago State University Ice Hockey Team produced 2 NCAA Division 2 All-Americans in the 1975–76 season. George Hansen and Bob Janecyk were selected in 1975–76 to the NCAA (College Division) West All-American Team. Janecyk was selected two more times designated as an NCAA (College Division) West All-American Team goaltender for CSU in 1976–77 and 1977–78. He went on to play for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League.[5
Undergraduate enrollment of fewer than 2,000 students at CSU right now.
You make the call, WildBill.
We need a team with a unique personality and interesting story.
And, of course, it's all about the betting edge.

Ok I got it JK. UC-San Diego. They are 2-0 on the season because they beat something called St. Katherine twice. Sounds like a girls high school team.
Anyways they have no business being in a D-1 sports league, its like 90% Chinese students all studying pre-med. I should know, my sister went to UCSD and competed in varsity sports there. She said they would never be competitive because the 4th string at San Diego State would wipe them out. Its kinda like Chicago State in that there are a bunch of D-1 basketball programs there and about 5 talented kids a year come out of San Diego, they lose all the talent to the real sports like surfing and lacrosse.
Sagarin isn't convinced by their 2-0 start, he's got them 355 out of 357, which includes mighty Chicago State. I think this should get the doomed title of EOG's favorite team.
We have a winner.
Or is that a loser?
UC-San Diego, perfect.
Let's go Tritons!
The team's much-anticipated Big West debut on January 1 was recently canceled due to COVID-19 issues on the Cal-Poly SLO side.
So 2020.
One other note: All UCSD home games this season will be televised by ESPN3.
Who knew?

RIMAC Arena is home of the UCSD Tritons.
RIMAC is an acronym for a name desperately in need of an upgrade.
If the Tritons want their proper place in Division I basketball, they need a better arena name than Recreational, Intramural and Athletic Complex.
The facility seats 4,000.
Can't beat the location, however, in La Jolla, California.

i prefer bigwest tv which is free, espn 3 likes to charge 19 bucks.
The 2021 conference schedule breaks down in an interesting way for the newest member of the Big West.
They'll be favored in every home game, if you trust Pomeroy's projections.

Eric Olen is the head coach at UCSD.
He's been associated with the program since 2004, shortly after his NAIA playing days ended.
Olen has been the head coach at UCSD since 2013.

So what's the season win over/under Rail, ignoring the 2 exhibition wins so far?

I'm betting under! If they go .500 in conference then that's not a good EOG favorite team.

they have a better chance of playing ZERO confrence games then 16 conf games, over under is 12
You forgot one. Anybody? (No googling)
Not 100% sure but I believe the forgotten school is D-I in hoops only.

Yes and SIU Edwardsville is in the Ohio Valley Conference. I was referring to EJD trivia question. As you well know there are many types of cougars.
Bingo.
Just now seeing this question.
SIU-Edwardsville escaped me.
COMMON GUY had the right answer.

I give these kids credit, only a couple of them have bullshit majors. These kids are there to get a valuable degree in the real world. Not sure if that is the best situation though to produce ATS winners.

Bill, all I see -- up and down the roster list -- are bullshit majors, as you put it.
Where are the engineers and mathematicians?
I see mostly sociology, psychology, human development and international business students.
Maybe Jake Killingsworth, the business analytics student, could improve our basketball betting models.
