Some fools never learn. Yeah, Sully to Aggy would only be a thing if he has a bunch of hidden financial problems and he can go rape Aggy’s $$ before he retires. And certainly, all decent coaches are itching to go to a place that fires you after one year. It’s every coach’s dream.

Anyone who has seen the huge drop off in donations to their athletic department might conclude that they’re bordering on bankruptcy. They’re cash poor because of their financial recklessness. I think they’re going to keep buying tier two and three like they did with Elko and whatever Schlub they hired as basketball coach. Maybe they’ll do like high schools and have people coach multiple sports. They may not be able to afford anything else.

May 16May 16 Has Graham published any new fanfic about how Earley has his team poised for a magical run through the SECT and NCAAT? Shhh... no one point out to them that they would at home on their ass after tomorrow if the SEC hadn't expanded the tournament to be a participation trophy for every team in the conference.
May 16May 16 They expanded it to give some borderline tourney teams a chance to get a win or two without having to play the top of the conference teams.

Whatever the reason, I like this format. Strong reward for the top 4 teams, top teams avoid a lengthy, arm-wasting weekend and nobody takes multiple losses. It's a good set-up.

May 16May 16 aggy will always have their preseason #1 ranking. They should have room in their Hall of Champions for it.
May 16May 16 What say we rest who needs resting during the conference tournament, but win the fucking thing anyway.
May 16May 16 If you are only going to win 12 SEC regular season games (which assumes A&M wins the last 2), you better have something else to hang your hat on (tough non-con schedule, Q1 wins, RPI, etc.). A&M checks none of those boxes. -#162 non-con SOS -6-14 in Q1 games -#61 RPI (you need to be in the 40's at minimum to typically be in the conversation as an at-large) They are done outside of winning the conference tournament.

Guys in their mid 30s play 162 games a year. 20 year olds can play a few games. This whole "playing sports is SCARY" shit is tiresome. I get it in football but come on. College players are not this fragile.

I think the superior format is the single elimination bracket, imo. With the byes and double byes for doing well Teams who finish in the top 4 should only have to win 3 games because they earned it
May 16May 16 I just want to point out that in 2002 we lost early in a double elimination bracket, meaning we had to come out of the loser's bracket with all of those additional games. Then the championship game went to extra innings. Yet this ridiculous pitching staff endurance challenge posed little problem in our run to the national title. 2 minutes ago, Js1 said: I think the superior format is the single elimination bracket, imo.

I just liked the pool format best out of all the tournament formats the Big 12 had. This format is probably the only possibility with the crazy number of teams in this league anyway.

By the time you got to the third set of pool play games, there were games being played between two eliminated teams.
May 16May 16 I really like what the Southland did for their conference tournament this year but I don't think it is something the SEC would ever do because they'd have to end the season a week earlier. Top 8 qualified. #1 seed is hosting #4, #5 and #8 in a double elimination tournament this weekend. #2 seed is hosting #3, #6 and #7. Two winners play a 2 out of 3 series next weekend.

It won't ever happen in the SEC for obvious reasons, but I do think it is a cool setup overall. I like rewarding teams with strong regular seasons. Getting to host part of the conference tournament is a big deal for schools like UTRGV or Southeastern Louisiana. If I were in that league, I would prefer it over traveling to Arizona to play at some spring training stadium with 100 people in the stands. Edited May 16May 16 by Hookem2147
