Now everyone can agree: Bulldogs bit off a little too much

ZAGS

Greg, a frequent commenter (as opposed to commentator, which is my title) to this on-line column, wanted to know about a week again if it was OK to say the Zags over-scheduled.

My answer then was yes. And Mark Few agrees. He told Andy Katz of ESPN in this piece , “What we did, I’m not sure you can play all those games in a row,” Few said of the late December trips. “It’s a lot to ask young guys to travel like that. We had nothing left in the tank emotionally and physically [in Virginia].”

The Zags are back home now and will be facing Loyola Marymount on Saturday (1 p.m.; KAYU; 1510-AM) in their WCC opener. Steve Bergum has his advance up on his blog , as well as note on Harv Clark, longtime PA man for GU, out following heart surgery.

We’ll be there though, with pre-game notes and a link to the game story. We may not have time for post-game commentary, because we are also headed down to Pullman for the 7 p.m. showdown with seventh-ranked Arizona. We’ll make sure the Zags post is up after we get safely down U.S. 195.
