Hot Springs Host Committee

drex · March 13, 2009

I have a fraternity brother who is on the host committee in Hot Springs. He has told me that the committee is already working on ways to make next year even better. I think that Hot Springs is really doing all it can to make the tournament a great success for all involved.

City has two more years to really sell the Conference brass before the contract ends. Let's hope they are successful. Hot Springs would be by far the closest place that has been discussed for having the Tournament. All the others mentioned were in Alabama or Tennessee I believe.

So why is Denton not trying to host this thing?

Because the conference wanted a nuetral site?

Lack of hotels.

Lack of attractions.

Not centrally located.

And where would Denton hold it? As I said, the league wanted a nuetral site. So no SuperPit. That leaves what...Ryan High school or something?

Pfft!

Not centrally located.

Depends on who you ask. Personally, I find it very centrally located.

That's good to hear. As I stated before, I think they did a great job with this tournament and would love to see what they'll have in 2010. I'm sure they can learn from their own mistakes and make it even better next year.

All UNT fans should really pull for this tournament to be in Hot Springs every year as CMJ stated. It is definately the best location for Mean Green fans to attend.

How about the PA Announcer? Thought he was excellent. He is the former PA guy for the Cajuns, until he moved to Florida last year.

Not a big fan of the PA announcer. Thought he was a little over the top, but to each his own..

I thought he could be a little over the top from time to time, but overall, I liked him. I'd like to see him back next year.

wk and middle tenn are the only teams that travel well and bring a large # of fans. wk had 3 times our #, and middle twice as many. besides nt and daytrippers from ualr, not much respresentation from rest of conference. any potenial change in tourny venue will be futher east to accomodate middle and western, as it should.[ having no mens team from la/monroe and neither from a/state didn't help attendance]
