It's a wrap

With this post, it's time to say good-bye (past time, to some 'admirers') as Parsing The WAC is concluding its run, and there will be no Parsing The MWC. This endeavor has become too time-intensive to continue.

Thank you for your kind notes and critical admonitions, too -- your patronage has always been appreciated.

Parsing The WAC has witnessed many great moments, but the highlight will always be Boise State's 107-102 triple overtime victory over New Mexico State in March 2008 to win the WAC tournament (sorry Aggie fans). Nothing will ever top that game.

The time spent here has been extremely educational as has 'conversing' with many of you. Knowing more about basketball than when Parsing The WAC began is the definition of success.

As for the future, Spartan Roundball and NorCal HS & College Basketball Central will be my focus.

Adios, arrivaderci, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, aloha, shalom, fare thee well.

Please come do a parsing the mwc. This last year as a MWC fan was horrible without a website like this one. You don't have to do all the MWC teams. Just do the old WAC now MWC teams.

I just stopped by to find out about an upcoming ParsingTheMWC. I'm disappointed it's not going to happen, but at the same time I'm very thankful for all the work you put in on PTW. It was a great resource for info and fun WAC stuff while Nevada was a member. Thanks for everything Kevin.

As a Nevada fan I am bummed to see we will not be getting you back with a Parsing the MWC. Best of luck Kevin, I'll be sure to keep an eye on your other biogs. You were crucial reading to all fans of teams in the WAC.

Thanks for the effort Kevin. I came to the site often while you wrote about the Pack. Sorry to lose a talent covering the WAC/MWC.

Best of luck.

The best championship game in the history of the WAC. No other game even comes close. An instant classic. Thanks for all of your hard work on this site. Sad to see it go.

thank you....I would say the WAC will be weaker without your blog, but at this point, if it were to get weaker than it already is, it would dissolve into a puff of smoke.

I enjoyed your blog and thank you for your efforts.

The end of an era. The WAC will miss your service. Thanks for collating many great memories for a lot of fans.

Mahalo from Hawaii. This was an excellent resource for Hawaii fans during our WAC days. I'd just like to say thank you on behalf of the Hawaii fan base. Aloha.
