Your passion is understood. I was in no way taking a shot at the MVC or N. Iowa. Obviously, a league and a program that have earned their fantastic reputations.

I don't have any idea what's happened over the last 4 weeks since I watched the Panthers and thought you looked pretty good,

This year is the best I've seen with Valley teams on either ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or Fox Sports Regional every week and many times...multiple games per week.

This weekend is a great opportunity to remind the pundits how competitive Valley basketball is this season. The Valley has SIX games on national television beginning tonight with the Missouri State game vs. Winthrop. If the Valley shows itself well...this weekend is well worth it.

I do agree with PTTB - if the Valley wants to continue having its Arch Madness Tournament on the first weekend in March (and on CBS), then it has to allow its teams to play 2 games in December and to have its regular season finale on the Monday of the conference tournament.

I hope valley games are on CBS saturday and sunday next year. If valley has 8-2 BB that will only help our cause.

I like the way you think Willie, but I think we're a little ways away from a weekly spot on CBS. I hope I'm wrong, but the only thing that will convince CBS to add Valley games to their weekly lineup will be more runs to the Sweet 16 and deeper in the NCAA's.

I love the idea of a WAC/MTNW/A-10 competion because with so many big 6 confrences(BCS) schools just dont want to play teams in the MVC and this would be a great way for the mid/high-majors to boost their schedules,
If we have to we could just have a MVC-WAC challenge like the ACC-Big 10 or the new Pac-10 Big-12

The WAC would love it too, but since it would have to be televised on MTN nobody would see it!
