Vegas 16 tourney thoughts?

Re: Vegas 16 tourney thoughts?

I like the two week buffer, I would actually consider going to catch a game if I don't have to book travel at a moments notice.

Not that I trust myself in Vegas...but what could go wrong?

Re: Vegas 16 tourney thoughts?

I wouldn't play in a thing under the nit if it cost a lot of money.

The extra practices are meaningless, if they don't have it figured out after five or six months I doubt it will click now.

I wish these bogus tournaments let redshirts play, then I would see lots of positives.

You could have said the same thing after the month of January. Here we are 1 month later, having won 9 out of 10. Something got better. You don't turn down extra chances for your seniors who have given so much to the program to keep playing and to give young guys who we'll be counting on next year to get extra experience.

This I agree with...

Why not always make at least the NIT?

Uh cause it's a game and things don't always go as planned. Are you seriously implying that the goal isn't always the MVC title and the NCAA? If you seriously believe that let me know so that I can ignore all your future posts due to lack of sanity. If you know that the NCAA is always the goal, stop saying that it should be.

Oh c'mon! We've made so much progress since our meltdown in the Fall! No, I'm saying we need to be 1st class!

Please, four years of full ride education is a hell of a deal.

Nobody owes them anything.

It's pretty simple, if you're so offended by the idea of playing in a minor tournament that you spend time posting things that say the same exact thing, just like you do with recruiting, then don't go the games, and better yet do us all a favor and save yourself some time and quit posting about it.

That might be the biggest jerk thing you've ever written on here, and that's saying a lot. Totally classless. You're talking about college kids, not pros, some of whom might never play ball competitively again. Great Panther fan you are. I can tell you really care about the kids and the program. Get lost.

R & B acting like a complete a$$hole? Par for the course for him.

The thing is, every once in a while he writes something I agree with; for example, I think the idea of letting redshirts play in a post-season tournament is a good one and worth exploring.

It's too bad his online demeanor and personality are so obnoxious and grating that when I do find myself agreeing with something he writes that I find myself wanting to take a shower after I do so, just because I find myself liking his post.

Agree 100% - it's not the ideas usually; it's the delivery.

Re: Vegas 16 tourney thoughts?

I for one am baffled. When did I take the ignore tag off R & B? and what in the world was I thinking?

[GonzoCat]

Re: Vegas 16 tourney thoughts?

R & B is right that a 4 year full ride scholarship is a heck of a deal, especially now that we are going to start throwing in drinking money to go with it. I doubt that it is possible for any students other than athletes to earn enough money while in school to completely pay for their education these days.

As for post season tourneys other than NCAA, can't get overly excited about them, but if they are on TV I will watch. I seem to recall the coaches leaving it up to a vote of the players, or the seniors one year. That seems like a good way to go to me. I don't see that there is any real benefit to the players or the school but if they feel like a trip to Vegas is exciting, fine. The small cost doesn't play into it for me.

Re: Vegas 16 tourney thoughts?

I've missed r&b since we've won 9 of 10...

You asked for it . . . all of r&b's posts make me imagine this . . .

R&B might be a racist, but he knows BB.

I vote we skip Vegas this year...
