if that's the case, my guess is we will see a "yet to be invited" Southland team. Take your pick from among TX State, SFA or SHSU

Good point....as N Iowa and Air Force who could be considered close, are Hosting games so they are out..no one Regional that would be close, so a team to be determined is in order.

Your Official ORU website says you have a Tuesday night game and we know we have a Wednesday night game...how will that work?

ORU was originally told by CIT officials it would be a Tuesday roadie, so that's what ORU Media Relations announced.

It's no big deal: Wednesday is what SMU wanted, so Wednesday it is. See you then - hopefully we can give you a game.

SMU recognizing a) the power of Team Ozona's, and b) dollar draft Wednesday

ha, good notice. After the first loss to UTEP, Doh uttered those words in his press conference, talking about how the team was incensed about losing a game it controlled for a good amount of time before fading at the end. Most of us have sat through plenty of "moral victories," so it seemed apropos at the time. Little did I know that it would signal the start of a 2-6 skid to end the season.

It's all good: anybody that comes into Tulsa and beats the Golden Hurlicane on a last-second shot is OK in my book.

Here's what I was referring to earlier:
