2015 Early Season Tournaments

Post by texasmustang10 »

How and why are we failing to get invited to any of the 2015 early season tournaments? Is there any word on this?

Most of the big ones have already announced their fields. I don't understand how we couldn't angle for one of these, as a pre-season top 25 team.

Maybe the tournaments want to see more than one year of success. Just guessing

I do not think it has to do with success. Seems we were in a few of these during the Doh years were we not?

Don't really buy the lack of a significant track record, when you look at some of the other teams in these fields.

I kept waiting to hear. Figured we would get one. Was hoping for either NYC or somewherevreally warm and beachy. We need to fix this. We'd travel well.

We might fall into that valley between brand name programs that are huge draws and easy body bag teams. Just a guess.

We are in the Las Vegas Classic next year. Two home games, then two vs. Colorado/Penn St and/or Kent St. on 12/22-23 at The Orleans.

In 2016, we are in the 2K Classic at MSG. Other three teams are Pitt, Marquette and Michigan. Weekend before Thanksgiving.
