It's like everyone took seconds on the idiot juice and troll pie.

Give him a break. The guy probably needs a ride home from OKC, and he's just trying to hedge his bets.

Not just no, but hell no. Kansas State has won NCAA basketball championships. It's the biggest sport in their state, and they're the best team.

Alonzo Edwards, #88 on the JUCO top 150 list. One scholarship pending.

No, he means the basketball coaches. I understand why he might not recognize Johnny Jones. He's never gotten the national publicity that comes from appearing in a late night spray paint hair infomercial. Scoreboard to K-State on that one.

I recognize your coach. He's the thing my girlfriend uses to scrub the dishes when we run out of brillo pads.

My bad... You're right; I got confused. I thought we were playing the school from Kansas that mattered. I haven't watched "Hoosiers" in a while. My fault.

Did it? I thought they fired him last year. Either way... Bill Snyder needs to stay away from the buffet.

He's probably just glad to still have a job after the campaign to fire him back the last time we made the tournament.

You're scared of a Belt schedule. It's cool... Some of us just have too much dignity to play Arkansas Pine-Bluff for cheap wins. Keep building your program; you guys will get there someday.

We only lost 2 Big 12 games this year. Lucky for you guys we're sticking with the Sun Belt, or we'd have been the #2 seed in your conference tournament this year.

Speed. Probably. It'll be an early morning and a late drive home. Gotta stay awake somehow.

Well, they've still got scoreboard over the 3rd best team in Kansas, right? Oh wait... Suck it across borders, Missouri State!

Danny Manning and Mark Mangino can't help you here.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. I'm still very much on the fence and leaning towards "No" on whether to make the trip or not. Anyone know what your ticket gets you? One game, two, or all four?

Sigh... Would have loved a trip to New Orleans, even if it did mean I'd have to walk home if we got the upset.

Houston actually beat WKU.

How hard were you crossing your fingers for us to get that 14 slot in Providence against Georgetown?

Hopefully we get conference love over SHSU, Vermont, and Montana.

If we play Baylor, I have a verbal contract that says we get to go ANYWHERE to see it in person. I'll pack a raincoat and everything. Pictures galore.

I'd prefer to dodge Kansas State and Ohio State, too. But I agree, the main wish is to avoid a Big East team.

I went to College Station, Houston, Stillwater, and Hot Springs this year. Arlington isn't much of a trip, but I went there, too. If we get a 14 seed and I can't make the trip to see it, I'll be sad to miss the game. But I'll be damn glad that we have a much better chance at winning. I'd rather watch us win on TV than see us lose in person.

The best chance to win, by a factor of 4, is to be a 14 seed. CMJ pointed out how little a role "fan support" played in any of the 15 over 2 upsets. If I remember correctly from the link provided yesterday or the day before, the cheapest ticket for any session anywhere, was $66. Meanwhile, people could have bought season tickets for $90. I just don't see a huge mass of fans spending $66 or more so they can drive to Oklahoma City on a Thursday/Friday afternoon. Even if they do... What are you really expecting as far as a North Texas turnout? 500 people? 1000? 1500? The Ford Center seats more than 18,000. If we more than doubled our average home attendance... We'd fill less than a third of the place. The best chance to win a game is to play as a 14 seed.

So, respectfully... Can I count on seeing pictures or reading in-person game reports from all the people saying that they want us to get a 15 seed and play in OKC or New Orleans?
