Oklahoma deserves to be out for the simple fact that Porter Moser took a meeting with DePaul and then lied and said that he never was in contact with them

You just reminded me that Porter Moser turned us down to be Mullin's replacement, in a humilating episode for us. Let's return the favor today!

Wow these odds are huge given both of them are ahead of us on BM and in the major brackets. Really doesn't make logical sense for them to be that unlikely to make it without some insider knowledge. Liking our chances more and more.

This is what I see on FanDuel. Minus odds to make it for Oklahoma.

According to Jerry Palm we are 11 seed at Dayton playing a very tough Texas AM squad (Jamal Branch would be happy as he played for both) winner goes to Memphis…I’m fueling up today for the trek to BBQ city. Central BBQ the best cue you will ever eat. We ate there as a team back days before Norm’s last game at the FedEx Forum.

Central BBQ - Slow Smoked Memphis Style BBQ

Central BBQ is an award-winning barbecue restaurant based out of Memphis, TN. Our secret ingredients to success include our delicious, fall-off-the-bone meat, smoked in southern hospitality, and doused with good times.

Concur. They don't pass the smell test IMO.

Neither do most of our fans sitting in carnesseca for 2 hours

MSU -2000
Texas AM -750

Putting metrics aside, IMO committee wants us and Rick in, and is gonna find a reason to put us in.

I am cheap but betting $10 a game on all the underdogs in the first round 32 games

Once Eric concurs it’s a lock ! Once you get the Italian and Tribe mob on the same side we aren’t getting shit out. Us Irish the only thing we control are the beer taps today

I can’t believe I have to say this again, Joe Lunardi works for ESPN. They constantly push an agenda. He will choose any conference that plays on his channel before any others.

That whole Disney conglomerate couldn’t be any more transparent.

Alumni......out of curiosity, how do travel arrangements work once a school knows where they are headed. Is it handled by the NCAA or is it the school's responsibility to make flight and lodging arrangements? I am interest because it seems like a lot to assemble in a short amount of time.

Any insight would be appreciate....and perhaps a healthy distraction!

Anyone know how many of these teams there is essentially a spot for?

Thank God for Guinness today especially.

Silver lining that I texted Maher this morning is that I think next year is going to be a monster year for us. I know nobody wants to hear that crap right now but the future is bright.

Share your optimism about the program being on a positive course, but re projection of “monster year” for us, we have a lot of key holes to fill. I would like to see the new season’s roster before getting ahead of myself.

Michigan was a bad loss. Fortunately it was very, very early.

It’s only one quad 3 loss. Zona, Kentucky,
Kansas, and others that are safely in have one too. But if you look at the bubble teams, Tamu has 4 quad 3 losses and FAU has 2 quad 3 losses and a quad 4 loss. Compared to then it’s not bad.
