I don't really know where it should be though. Memphis is central-ish and New Orleans or Orlando might be nicer, but I'm not sure the crowds will be great unless the home team is favored to win. And I don't think SMU or Cincinnati are at all interested in hosting.

Orlando is awful too. Nobody cares about sports in that state. would be nice in NYC (although Barclays and MSG are taken), Memphis, Dallas, Nola

I'm originally from Orlando and this an absolutely absurd comment. I would be surprised if there is another major city in the country that is a bigger college football town than Orlando....now South Florida is another story altogether.

I have invited the conference tournament to come to Little Rock every year but they have not responded.

Bring on ECU.

I hope that there are a few more fans in the house tomorrow morning for our game - but suspect that it could look a lot like this crowd of empty seats.



The weather and the early hour will have it like a morgue tomorrow.

Snow forecast for about a 12 hour period beginning midnight tonight.
I'm pitching the tent tonight in Greenwich about 1:40 away. Hope I make it.
Party at The Wopper!

Tulsa hit something like 1 of 20 from the Field in about last 11 minutes but still lead Tulane 26-23-this seems to happen to Tulsa on weekly basis

Tulsa went an incredible 14:29 without a FG but they've hit 3 straight here-two by attacking the glass
