Yet you're going to punish him and the team by choosing not to attend what you call a meaningless game. :roll:

He is only punishing himself. The game will go on and the team will play hard.... with or without notcho.

if he doesn't want to go he should stay home. We need mad, not cynical and defeatist.

My favorite commentt from Larry Brown from the interview was about how Joe Lunardi successfully picked 67 out of 68 teams in the NCAA tournament. I don't recall all that was said, but the point he made was well illustrated.
"This is . . . dedication to distraction by fans. Is that what I'm going to go with Jay?"
"That poor kid has to be wondering what is dad doing."

PR guys could take lessons from him.

If LB is pouring pints I am drinking them! :D

+1

Wonder if he drinks pints, but whatever he drinks, I'll join the both of you.

-Doesn't know if the team is up for tomorrow……June and RGT came by practice to talk about disappointments and how to deal with them. Fran Franschilla even spoke to them. A lot of teams are excited about NIT, a lot aren't. Hopeful for the seniors that we show up and compete. Cal Irvine has to be disappointed…
-We didn't act right against Lville, showed no character. Acted immaturely against Houston. No one to blame but ourselves. Only ranked team since 04 to not make it. Lunardi had 67/68, we had no rep on the committee. Didn't have hope when he saw the poor seeding for AAC
-Feels awful for the fans. Feels great for our program. Can't wait to see what seed we have next year
-A lot of his friends that are coaches told him the first NIT game is the hardest to coach after not making tourney
-Did anyone call to explain the reasoning, etc of missing tourney? --No one called except friends
-Can you imagine having this big party and then everyone is all of a sudden gone..?
-Was real down, but have to learn from it and fight through it. Wanted the kids to understand their is no shame to being disappointed. At the end of the day, they put it in the committee's hands, which was silly. Had he known how high the pac 12 or big east was rated, he wouldn't have done that.
-Didn't take into consideration of Garland, at Wyoming. Didn't know Rhode I. would be bad, TCU, A&M…we had Virginia beat.
-They can say Wich. St didn't play in a good conference…we don't know what their criteria is….would they seed KU low because of Embid…we don't know
-Excited about the game tomorrow. The center is enormous.
-12 teams better than Lville? NO way, especially the way they are playing right now. Rick's teams are always ready. Their SR class is the winningest team in Lville history. 12 teams aren't better than Mich St either…I can't imagine
- He will be on the Katy Trail..haha

From the first line of your post, I am nervous about the team that will show up on the floor. Please tell me I am worried for nothingl
It makes sense to me.

He is quoting LB that he is worried. What is anyone going to say on here to convince you that LB has no reason to be worried?

i think they will get some energy from the crowd - and will know that the world is not over just caused we missed the tourney. THere is still some fun to be had. At least they aren't getting on a plane and having to travel somewhere - that would really stink.
