Man, I've seen our conference commissioner a lot during this NCAA Championship Tournament. Dude is always sitting in front on press row. You can't miss him.

I thought I saw him on several broadcasts! So I'm not crazy? (At least not for that reason?)

Your post just made something pop into my mind. Some of my longest term friends have been Math people — one who taught Calculus in Montana high schools for 52 years (that must approach a limit of some sortrfischer94 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 31, 2025 1:06 pmI thought I saw him on several broadcasts!

), my first boss at MSU taught freshman-sophomore Calculus, and four other friends who taught Math/Calculus in various high schools and Community Colleges. That said, I have no comment on the probability of craziness occurring in a Math guy.Speaking of Tom Wistrcill, he worked for ESPN at some point in his career. I fear the Big Sky would still be trying to watch conference sports on Pluto TV without him. Thank you, Tom!

Yup. I see her on the local sports news. She does coverage on special events like the NFL draft.

You must of known Dr. David Wend at MSU? I see Tom is in the front row for the Final Four. Dude has better seats then Nico had back in the day.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Mon Mar 31, 2025 1:30 pmYour post just made something pop into my mind.

Dr. Wend, as in David V. V. Wend? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard for a long time. Yes, I did know him — in fact when the Wend family moved to Bozeman they lived directly across the street from us on S. 12th Ave. We were 708, they would have been 709 I think. Nice family, nice neighbors. We moved fairly shortly to a new home out near Monforton School. My dad (with as much help as I could give him) built it as my mom’s handicap required a single-floor dwelling. I’d enjoy hearing of your connection with Dr. Wend. Feel free to PM me if you don’t want to continue my derailment!

Dude had better seats than Coach K. Being on the NCAA Selection Committee certainly has its privileges!

I just want to point out that talking about approaching a limit and a calculus teacher is kind of ironic.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Mon Mar 31, 2025 1:30 pmYour post just made something pop into my mind.
