Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

Was that a bracket buster game?

No, that would be the conference TITLE game, not that you are familiar with those games. What channel was the MWC title game on? Honest question cuz I didn't see it.

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

The MWC has its own network called the mtn.

So six people in Montana and the state of Nevada get to see these games. Wow.

Oh, the TITLE game. The MVC TITLE game. The ratings must have been through the roof for that one. I'm sure Middle America was tuned into some hot poker action on the sister station instead.

Would be curious to see the ratings of the MVC title game campared to MWC. Anyone know where to look that up?

Well, I can't say. What I can tell you is, the MWC had a sellout crowd of 18,500 to watch semifinal action consisting of 2 ranked teams (one top 10, the other top-15). I know, I know. It's a little hard to fathom considering you're used to playing in glorified high school gyms with a 4500 seat capacity.

How the heck did the mighty MWC lose any games in the MVC challenge with our little gyms and all? I guess somehow quality basketball and gym size go hand in hand, right?

BTW as a "major" conference, why are you in a challenge with a mid major conference. Awful nice of you big boys to let us knock you down a few notches.

[QUOTE=UNIAlum95;217836]BTW as a "major" conference, why are you in a challenge with a mid major conference. [QUOTE] I ask/ed the exact same question. Obviously the PAC-10 is a much more siutable challenge opponent. After all, they did get one more tourney bid than the MVC this season.

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

Recall also that MWC had the lowest rated tv ratings of any conference. That, too, makes sense. The MWC states are lightly populated and most of the tv audience has gone to bed. Here is quote from Salt Lake Tribune:

"The league has two years remaining on its seven year, $48 million deal with ESPN, but ESPN rejected the league's offer for an extension because it doesn't believe the league attracts enough viewers. The triple overtime football game between Utah and Air Force last season, for example, drew only an 0.55 rating on ESPN2, AND THE LEAGUE'S GAMES HAVE PERFORMED SO POORLY THAT IT RANKS AS THE LOWEST RATED CONFERENCE ON THE NETWORK."

If you really want to talk about viewers....

Re: from Pat Forde this morning:

Those ratings are why the MWC has it's own television station, The Mountain. It is the same reason that we have our own, MVC TV. Both available on satellite, both available nationally. Why? Because we are BOTH MID-MAJORS. Keep preaching your UNLV Big Boy crap, but you aren't fooling anyone on here....you sure as sh*t aren't fooling and major conferences.

MID MAJORS = 1-5 all-time NCAAT

MAJORS = 33-16 all-time NCAAT, 4 FINAL FOURS, 1 NC

Kiss my HIGH MAJOR arse, neophyte.

Right you'd have a chance of winning the challenge with the P10.

Ummm, we did. Undefeated against the PAC-10 this year, genius.

Like I said. You'd have a chance against the PAC10. You need to work on reading comprehension. See you lost to the MVC. Hope that helps.
