Trophy

Postby friarwolf » Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:08 pm

Anyone else notice how cheap and small the regular season championship trophy was and how large the tournament trophy is? I think it is ridiculous how the regular season gets discounted and a 3-4 game tourney gets all the glory...........At least come up with a trophy on par with that thing Marcus is kissing for the regular season..............

That's LB's argument - season vs. tourney. The season championship trophy looks like a relay trophy at a high school track meet.

They probably got a big one once they realized Connecticut had a chance to win it.

Seriously though, right or wrong, the tournament winner has always been considered the conference champion.

Happy to do it. Glad she got to go. Hopefully you'll get to come back for a game or two next season.

George W. Bush says he's not filling out a bracket. But he's happy he got to speak with SMU "his favorite team." I'll be pulling for them. ...They made the big time.

Maybe he takes the family to a game or two in Houston.

Barbara would approve.
